Edith Helena Illuminates European Opera Career
Renowned coloratura Edith Helena, likened to an American Tetraz zini, rose from child performer in New York to European stages. Her Roumanian queen’s gift ring and training under Chevalier di Bassini are noted, with recent success in Thais and a strong American debut with Aborn forces. The week’s schedule features The Fortune Hunter at the Grand Opera house and a robust vaudeville lineup at the Royal and Plaza theaters, plus matinees and child-focused shows.
