OPERA COMMENTARIES
Sir,-While I agree entirely with "Writer of Commentaries" (Wellington), in your issue of August 13, that running commentaries make the operas more understandable, I contend that the names of the leading singers should be published in The Listener. Here in New Zealand we have not the opportunities of hearing overseas artists, and I am sure thet if the leading artists’ names were published, the interest in the operas would be accentuated. I think it is a tribute to an artist’s performance that he or she should be known. I have often wondered whose voice has taken a certain Aria, and shall welcome the day when I can look up my Listener and read it
there.-
SOPRANO
(Auckland).
(And we shall welcome the day when we can find room for it.-Ed.).
