Marie Rogndahl Takes First Television Test Marie Rogndahl, Oregon’s colorature soprano extraordinary and pupil of Professor Sigurd Nilssen, made her first appear ance before General Electric’s telecast cameras in Schenectady, New York, singing Shubert’s “Ave Maria.” Her rendition of the song is reported by the station manager to have brought tears to the eyes of studio technicians, and Miss Rogndahl, dressed in a simple dark formal and a new coiffeur styled in New York especially for her television broadcast, was pronounced by Mr. A. J. Stone, manager of GE’s new station WRGB, as “a perfect sub ject for television.” Miss Rogndahl, who went to Radio City to sing with Phil Spi tany’s all-girl orchestra, was the third semi-finalist in the nation wide search for the “Undiscovered Voice of America,” is scheduled to arrive in Portland this Saturday and will be brought to Eugene Sunday by Mr. Nilssen. Two of the most difficult arias ever written for the soprano voice will be sung by Marie at the con cert, Tuesday, April 11, at which Mr. Nilssen will present her and his other pupils. The arias are the “Shadow Song” from the opera “Dionora” by Myerbeer, and “Queen of the Night” from the “Magic Flute” by Mozart. “She is a hard worker and she deserves the credit,” stated Mr. Nilssen concerning the already well-known Miss Rogndahl. In his opinion he has heard only one other voice like Marie’s; that belonging to the late Selma Kurtz, German opera star who made a reappear ance in a concert in I.ondon with Mr. Nilssen.
