(…) The Galathea is a very successful operetta that has been filling the theater for the last weeks despite the heavy humidity outside. The more one listens to the music, the more it pleases. Mrs. L’Arronge’s performance is enchanting all the way from her pure, bell-like voice, the perfect technique of her singing, her fiery verve and also her warm and mischievous, graceful portrayal of her role.
She sang the “Kusslied” and the “Trinklied” with such charisma that the latter song had to be repeated. She was showered with enthusiasm by the audience. Her husband was not any less successful and skillful. Haffner sang with a pretty voice and even improved from the last performance. Herrmann’s voice was still somewhat hoarse; however, it was clearer than before and one could hear his voice carry in the ensemble pieces. (…)
