Review 1:
Review of Quaintance Eaton in Musical America
The third performance of ?Don Carlo? brought two singers back for the first time to roles they had sung last season ? Richard Tucker, as Don Carlo, and Jerome Hines, as King Philip II ? in a cast that was otherwise unchanged. Mr. Tucker was in splendid voice, and he sang with mounting intensity as the opera proceeded. His last-act duet with Delia Rigal, the Elisabetta, was beautiful vocalism as well as expressive communication. Mr. Hines, showing no ill effects from his recent indisposition, sang extremely well. He had evidently thought deeply about this role, for he brought to it new subtleties. In the third act he was a dominating figure, even against Hans Hotter's fiercely powerful characterization of the Grand Inquisitor. One detail of Mr. Hines's portrayal, however, continues to stand out as anomaly in Rolf Gerard's carefully worked out costuming plan. He never wore a hat, appearing bareheaded at public functions and in private alike. This does not seem proper etiquette for a king in such a rigidly traditional court.
Other singers were Fedora Barbieri as Eboli, Paolo Silveri as Rodrigo, Lubomir Vichegonov as a Friar, and, in smaller roles, Anne Bollinger, Paul Franke, Emery Darcy, Lucine Amara, and Tilda Morse. Fritz Stiedry conducted.
