| Editor: I had never seen an opera in which an actor actually acted the part until I saw Melchior, pluck ing the nonexistent strings of his lyre in perfect synchronization with the harp in the orchestra pit, and singing divinely in the bargain. Eddy gave a memorable rendition of ``The Evening Star,''(O du mein holder Abendstern) and the whole evening was especially great when compared with the dubious performances at Dreamland Boxing Rink before the War Memorial Opera House was completed.

| James Rutherford - 2007 |
 |
| The English baritone James Rutherford brought a virile instrument to Wolfram von Eschenbach, but the role demands a lyrical line and poetic introspection that this artist does not yet muster..There's a gratuitous live horse and a large harp that gets laboriously schlepped from one part of the stage now and then, but that no one ever bothers to play (in the pit, by contrast, harpist Olga Ortenberg Rakitchenkov rose with distinction to what must be her biggest assignment in the standard operatic repertoire). / Review |
| Rutherford sang with expressive power in his early scenes, and his Act III ode to the evening star was elegant and rapturous./ Review |
