LOTTE LEHMANN
ACCLAIMED BY CRITICS. Few artists visiting Australia have received such spontaneous acclamation from critics and public alike as that accorded to Lotte Lehmann, worldfamous soprano, during her recent triumphant tour of the Commonwealth. Madam Lehmann, acknowledged the most versatile singer of the day, is visiting New Zealand for the first time and will give two concerts at the Grand Opera House, Wellington, on Thursday June 8, and Saturday June 10. ‘-Vivid drama, romance and refreshing humour were part of Lotte Lehmann’s programme when the distinguished singer gave proof of her remarkable versatility in emotional ex-, pression and command of tone,” stated a Sydney critic. ”She delights her audiences from beginning to end whether she is singing arias, opera, lieder, or more modern compisitions. She reveals a purity and dignity of style that is unsurpassed and her work is always touched with that optimistic radiance which has always been one of her endearing characteristics. The quality of her voice is just as compelling as ever; it’s power to colour a line or a phrase, just as lovely.” Mailed applications for seats for country patrons (reserves Ils 2d. this including tax) will be received at the box office, D.1.C., Wellington.
