“Allow me to suggest to Mr. Maretzek, through your columns, that the opera going public would be glad to hear ‘Faust’ with the original cast.  It is difficult, indeed, to comprehend the change with which we have been favored this season.  There is no tenor here who can sing the title role of ‘Faust’ so acceptably as Mazzoleni.”
