Ernand Giebefs version of the well known story
of "Brunhild' was given at the Germania last
night, with the great Irschick in the title role
What said of her in these columns when she
played Grselds is in all respects of her in this
great role. Such an impression as Grisf in
full voice might have made in the con,
fined limits Of drawing room was that
conveyed by the performance last night.
The elocution and gcsticulaton of Irschick have
been frequently spoken of in these columns, and all
that has been said in favor Of both might be repeated
in her favor. when last nights work is under dis
cussion; but the of restraint noticed i'm
first criticism OF her appearance this theatre
was again manifested. The wild freedom of the
character seemed almost caricature within the
circumscribed area afforded 10y the stage of the
Germania. 1rschick was, Notwithstanding
her contracted surroundings still the great
artist, and could only regret that
there was not space for the reception of her
wonderful vocal power. As in Griseldis. the star
was well supported by the stock company of the
house. Herr Meery cast for more active part
this performance than fell to his lot in the last
and he acquitted himself well. Herr Renen and
Herr Raberg were particularly meritorious in the
characters assigned them, and word or praise Is
due to Fri Heller.
