GEORGES THILL'S CONCERTS
HE NZBS arranged for four broadcasts from concerts given in New Zealand by Georges Thill, the famous French tenor (below), who is here at present, and two of these have been heard already. The third will be from 4YA Dunedin this Thursday, October 24, and the final one will be from 3YA
Christchurch next Tuesday, October 29. The broadcast is expected to begin at about 9.10 p.m. in each case. Many listeners will have already heard M. Thill from 2YA and 1YA (on October 12 and October 19), when broadcasts were made of parts of his Wellington and Auckland concerts. This is M. Thill’s first visit to New Zealand, but he has with him as accompanist Marcel Lorber, a Viennese, who was here just before the war. Georges Thill is 47, and famed for his singing of leading roles in French opera. He speaks practically no English, but at a gathering in Wellington to which the press were invited he seemed to be well pleased with his first impressions here.
