PAGE SIX HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON THURSDAY, DEC. H. 19 Subs Save Day for the Met; 'DieWalkure' Pulls Rave Notices with Big Name Sopranos on Sidelines By IOHN RANDOLPH NEW YORK. Dec. 33 WV-tt (u . Dle Walkun" nlht at Uw Metro i polltan opera on. of Wagner! bit ' (est productions. It calif (or super-charged eo i prance, lota of ablnlni armor, and tenon bit enough to handle both. But the main thing ara the eo pranoe. One of them Is Slegllnde, who eU : Into a Jam with her brother and iloean't make it to the final scene. BnmaMlde Tha other t BrunnhUde, warrior daughter of Wotar the god. She get in Jam of her own for Insubordl nation. Pappy busts her out of the Valkyries tha Valhalla women'a army corpa and pull her to aleep on mountain top aurrounded by maglo flame of course, to cool off the trespaasers. All thla needa a powerful lot of alnglng, an tUe Met waa rubbing I Its hands and chuckling yesterday morning. It had two htgh-reloclty sopranos all lined up Polyna Stoska tor Sleg llnde and the X'.ei s own Wagnerian prima donna, Helen Traubrl, for BrunnhUde. Then the roof fell In. First, Miss Btoska called up and said aha was too sick to sing Sleg llnde or anything else. Then Mis Traubel's doctor called up and said she waa spending the night with laryngitis and not at the opera. Fast Work The Met worked fast. It jerked Reglne Resnik oat of her own role as Helwige and told her to warm up as Slegllnde. To take her place, Maxine Stelunan was promoted from the ranks of tha Valkyries. Then they colied up Astrld Var nay, who usually subs for Mtss Trau bel. But Miss Varnay aald so sor ry, but she was rehearsing for a philharmonic concert and couldnt do it. That's when they got that sinking feeling at the Met. Wagnerian sopranos ara rarer than All America halfbacks. It looked like they'd have to change the bill. And Wagner tans who pay hard rash to tear "Die Walk ore" dont like it when tha curtain goea up on "Madame Butterfly." Then someone thought of Helena Braun. wue of the Metropolitan bar itone slated to sing Wotan. Mme. Braun has dona Brunhilde SO times in Vienna and Munich, but never for the Met. Ma" They made her a fast telephone proposition wui four hours to go. She aald ")a." and atarted to work. In three hours she had won union clearance, tried on her armor,' had a piano rehearsal with Conductor Frit! Stiedry, and found out where to stand o- the stage. When the curtain went up the au- dlenca gave a sickly sigh aa It learned that of the big namea only Laurita Melchlor was on hand aa Slegllnde'a brother, Biegmund. But by the tint nearly everybody on the stage was dead and the cur tain came down, everybody was hap py again. Listen to the critics Jerome D. Bohm of The New York Herald Tribune: "Mua R ra mi Slegllnde Is her finest portray al since she Joined the Metropolitan. . . . an extraordinary accomplish ment. . . her Idrrtldcatlon with the role was complete. . . . her sump tuous voice Is especially well suited . . . . a telling characterisation.' And so on. On the Nose' Howard Traubman of Tha New York Times: "Miss Braun. ... a dramatic soprano who knew her business. . . the voire rang out with confidence and musicianship. . . the high B's were hit on the nose . . . . she had the temperament for tha role. . . here waa Brunn hUde who actd and sang as it alia belonged in a performance In a great muslc-d.ama In a great opera house. . . aha will undoubtedly get an opportunity to atng other Wag nerian parts." etc Which lervcs nearly everybody singtug. Including Mme. Braun s husband, Ferdinand Franta. Ha was Wotan.
