Review 1:
Irving Kolodin in the Saturday Review of Literature
Arroyo
Mme. Nilsson 's unwillingness to sing a Saturday-night Aida after her midweek Salome (with another to come shortly thereafter) provided an unexpected opportunity for Martina Arroyo to resume her Metropolitan career after an absence of two seasons. The strides she has made in the interim were reflected in the assurance and conviction she brought to this sizable undertaking. There is, as yet, more power than finesse in her treatment of Verdi's vocal line, but also an admirable awareness of Aida's dramatic place in the whole. She earned an audience response to merit further encouragement of her outstanding vocal abilities. There was some question, at times, whether the conductor was William Steinberg, or Flaviano Labo, the Radames.
