Alfred O'Shea
LIKE John McCormack, the Australian tenor,. Alfred O'Shea, was trained in Italy and made his debut there in Italian opera. This is no mean feat for a Briton, as .the Italian audiences are said to be the most critical in the world. Even Caruso was afraid of them, while Gralli-Curci has yet to conquer there. Only the best are wanted in the land where glorious voices are to be met at every turn— and the fact that Alfred O'Shea is to appear in Italy again after operatic and concert engagements in America; stamps him as '6n«j of the world's greatest tenors. His New Zealand tour, which must necessarily be brief, otvihg to contracts in other parts of the' world, will commence about the middle of this month". « . • . ■ • ' •
