Reszke

Jean de Reszke looked magnificent and sang divinely.

It was a great musical event when Jean de Reszke and Madame Nordica appeared as Tristan and Isolde.

We take it as a matter of course that "Don Giovanni" should be given with Lehmann, Sembrich, Nordica, Edouard de Reszke and Maurel, and quite expect "The Huguenots" to have in its cast two great sopranos and the two de Reszkes.

We imagine these song-birds during the hot months resting luxuriantly in their various retreats—Melba in her river residence, Calv� in her French chateau, Jean de Reszke on his Polish estate, Eames in her Italian castle, and Patti at "Craig y Nos."

It was about the same time that I first heard Josephine de Reszke in Paris.
