Revival of Norma Debut by Mademoiselle Roissy at the English Opera
Mademoiselle Roissy, a Parisian vocalist from the Opera Comique, debuted as Norma in a revival of the English version of Puccini’s era opera. Her voice showed range and brilliance in high notes but uneven mid and low tones, with gestures and acting needing refinement. Still, she drew strong applause, recalling friends and favorable notices, while the cast and orchestra under Mr. Loder received praise for improved performance compared with last season.
