Veteran Opera Goers
Startled BY Tonopno

Caruso, in his prime, possessed the
most powerful voice most people ever
heard but there lived before him the
great tenor Tamagno, whose voice pos
sessed even greater volume. On his
first appearance in Moscow he was
announced to sing "Othello." When
he appeared on the stage his tremen-
dous height and breadth astonished
the audience, but it did not prepare
them for the thunder of his first note.
It's strength so astounded them that,
it is said, they surged backward as
though they were warding off an as
sault. The second note was more
powerful still, and by the time he
had sung his fourth note his voice
had such colossal volume that the
people lost their self-control. Leap
ing from their seats, they rushed
about commenting to each other on
the most extraordinary voice they
had ever heard in their lives, while
the orchestra stopped playing and the
stage became a scene of confusion,
A few moments later, the realization
had come to them that not only had
Tamagno q glorious voice, but that he
knew how to use it as an artist, and
then their applause shook the theatef.
