To the Editor of the "Norra-Cxmva Dany News"
Stt\—Yesterday, I had the good fortune to attend the performance of "La Tosca."
The actors played well and so did the orchestra. In fact, the opera your would have been perfect, were it not for the over-zealousness on the part of the orchestra. I think that the singers ought to be given a break after all, their voices are human, not mechanical, and that is a point which the orchestra would do well to keep in mind.
There are people, perhaps, who come to listen to the orchestra only as for mè, I like to have coffee with milk, not milk with coffee.
