THE GERMAN OPERA SEASON.
[…] ¦Mingled praise and blame must also be accorded to the performance of “Der Freischütz” on June 6. On the whole, Herr Gudehus* was admirable as Max, Herr Wiegand* was powerful and impressive as Caspar, and Frau Schuch-Proska was heard to greater advantage as Aennchen, than she had been as Eva on the previous Wednesday. On the other hand, we have seldom heard less justice rendered to the beautiful music of Agathe than was given by Mdlle. Biro de Marion*, a member of the Royal Italian Opera Company; and the stage arrangements in the Incantation Scene excited the risibility of the audience. The original dialogue was restored, the abandonment of Berlioz’s tedious recitatives greatly improving the general effect of the Opera.
