Reprise of H6rodiade, which has not been
heard for several years. Remarkable in
depreciation. We must give Nine. Brazil
the first place She was able to display her
beautiful talent in the title role, which We
have rarely seen so well taken.
lie Genevois
Nine Brazil met with great success in
the title role, which she sang as a superior
artist and acted as a great tragedian. Her
statuesque attitudes, her gestures, so ample
and of such great nobility, were the admir-
alton of all. Not less admirable was the
truthfulness of expression when Herodiade
endeavors TO arouse the love of the king, to
revenge herself upon John the Baptist and
Salome; when she places her ambition high
above her maternal love, or when she feels
herself moved by the voice of her aban-
doned child. This is art and the highest.
The artist had double recall after the
fourth tableau.
La Tribune de Geneve.)
Nine. Brazil is imposing and impressive
in the double role of the voluptuOus and
ferocious HGrodiade. Her statuesque poses
are most effective, and her beautiful voice
rings admirably in the ensembles. Our
contralto sang with great art the air in the
first act which is written too high for a
contralto, demanding a mezzo rather than
a contralto voice.
La Scene.
Nine. Brazil sang and acted the role of
HGrodade in a superior manner. One
could not be too enthusiastic over the
beauty and breadth of this artists gestures,
which would ravish a sculptor Enormous
success in the first air, me une refuse pas"
and in the great scene with Phannel; this
latter followed by double recall.
lL'Echo de Geneva
The second representation of Herodade
had still more success than the first. Nine.
Brazil is decidedly superb in this ferocious
and passionate role, which one would say
was written expressly for her, and to which
she gives all the breadth that the character
requires. Her beautiful and powerful voice,
her stage presence so impressive, her tragic
beauty, her statuesque pOses make of Nine.
| Brazil the most complete Herodiade one
could dream of.

Cavalleria Rusticana was represented as
! it has never been before on our stage. AS
for Nine Brazil, she gave to the small role
of Lola a remarkable and unaccustomed
Interpretation. She showed herself as ex-
cellent a singer, as accomplished comedian,
of an all-conquering beauty and an irresist-
ible coquetterie.
La Tribune de Geneve
Nine. Brazil is beautiful enough in the
costume of the coquette Lola TO excuse the
passion of Turridu. She gave an unaccus
toned prominence to this small role.
lie Genevois
The small role of Lola is marvelously
well taken by Nine. Brazil who gives to i
an unaccustomed prominence by hel
beauty, her admirable Elasticity, the ele
gance of her attitudes and her expressive
acting. With her SIRENS voice and regarC
she is surely the bewitching, irresstibl,
woman lin her careless righteousness anC
egotism) forseen by the Italian poet.

Mime. Brazil sang Lola and again won
marked and merited success by her beauti
full voice and artistic temperament
