Praise for singer
The Maori opera singer, Kiri Te Kanawa, received congratulations from all sides after a rehearsal of Mozart’s “Marriage of Figaro” at Covent Garden last week, according to Sydney Edwards, arts editor of the London newspaper, the “Evening Standard.” In an article headed “A new Maori star for Mozart,” Edwards wrote that when a young, practically unknown singer comes off the stage at Covent Garden into the Green Room and is surrounded by other singers offering congratulations, this is as good a sign as any that an exciting new talent is on its way. “It happened this week,” wrote Edwards. “The congratulations for Kiri Te Kanawa did not stop in the Green Room. They met her all along the corridor that leads to the stage door.” Miss Te Kanawa sings the Countess in a new production of “Figaro” which will have its first night tomorrow.
