With her singing and the charm

The scenes with Suzuki were
especially noteworthy for the skill
with which Lorraine Calcagno
fitted her interpretations to that

polish both in his singing and
acting. The remainder of the cast
was the same and each member
helped with artistic insight te
make this opera one Of the best
performed Of the San Carlo roper

tions the audiences were Of ca

Evening star., 1949-08-15
by Alice Eversmon

The San Carlo Opera Company
concluded its very successful
series at the Watergate with a re-
peat performance last night Of
Bizet's Carmen" This opera Is
the only one to be the victim
of weather conditions. Scheduled
first for the opening performance
August 3, it was rained out and
not given until the eighth. The
second performance. announced
for Friday, had to be postponed
because of rain until last night.
Martha Larrimore sang the role
of Carmen in the repeat presenta-
tion. She has the personality for
the part and a vivacious manner
of putting it over. The young
singer studied for opera at the
Peabody Conservatory. and has
sung in London as we'll as with the
San Carlo group in this country.
Her voice has an insolent, bold
quality that reflects the char
acter we'll but it lacks the suavity
and color that could bring out the
music Of the role with more varied
effect. It is more by her appear
ance, vitality and ease in action
that she scored her success last
night for only occasionally did her
strong, rather brittle voice take
on a luscious note to underline
another side OF Carmen's char
acter.
Vasso Argyris as Don Jose, Grant
CARMEL as 'Escamillo and Nina
Crawl, the Micaela. duplicated
their excellent performances Of
the first production. These artists
are blessed with fine voices and
know the art of handling them
with artistic skill. The only change
in cast from the first performace.
when Winfred Heidi sang the
title role, was the substitution OF
Deanna De Sanctos for Clelia Ven-
ditti in the part Of Frasquita and
John Lawler for William Wilder
man, the Zuniga. Pasquale De
Angels conducted.
