ALFRED O’SHEA
RETURN VISIT OF IRISH TENOR Fresh from triumphs in Australia, where he was principal tenor with the Melba-Williamson Grand Opera Company, Mr. Alfred O’Shea, the young Irish tenor, will make his first appearance in Auckland at the Town Hall on Saturday. February 2. Mr. O’Shea is an Australian by birth, but cosmopolitan by nature. He studied and sang in France, Italy and Germany when in his ’teens, but it was in London where he made his real debut in 1922, giving no fewer than four concerts in the Queen’s Hall, where he was received with the greatest enthusiasm. He was acclaimed by the critics as the most promising c.f the younger generation of tenor singers. Alfred O’Shea’s voice, it is said, is one that haunts the memory, and he is no less successful in grand opera than he is in the old Irish melodies and folk songs. His records are in the home of all music-loving folk throughout New Zealand, and his admirers are legion.
