Content Summary:

By Verdi. Featuring Hammond as Aida. Karl Levett notes that the enclosed newspaper clipping tells of drama involved with this performance, James Johnston playing Radames was ill, and Van der Zalm was flown in from Holland. Hammond switched into Italian to sing with der Zalm, with very pleasing results for Hammond. "I doubt if she has ever done better work...This must surely go with the great Aidas of all time". 1 program.
