...House did not mind much until Lily Pons started taking her San Francisco audiences by storm fortnight ago. Then they recalled that the new house had been publicly subscribed, protested until opera authorities had loudspeakers installed in the Auditorium and over the City Hall steps, transmitted a performance of Lucia di Lammermoor free...
...Soprano Claudia Muzio who can be depended upon for a sure-fire performance of Tosca.
