NEW SOPRANO FOUND
VOICE HEARD OVER RADIO. LONDON, April 8. The new soprano, Margarethe Kubatski, who has just been signed up for four years at Covent Garden, was discovered in a remarkable manner. The celebrated’ English conductor, Sir Thomas Beecham, was turning the knob of his wireless set hopelessly, in October, when he suddenly heard a magnificent voice- He was unable to find from which station it had come. He visited Berlin, and made inquiries of eminent musicians without result. Later he rang up all the opera houses in Europe, until he finally discovered Mme. Kubatzki at Leipzig. Mme. Kubatzki is 26. Her mother is French-Italian and her father Polish. She has been on the stage only two years, and joined the Leipzig opera last year. Sh’e sings Senta (The Flying Dutchman), Elsa (Lohengrin),, Elizabeth (Tannhauser), Eva (The Master-singers of Nuremburg), Tosca, and’ Aida.’
