AMERICAN SINGERS VS. EUROPEAN
Riccardo Martin Claims That There Are Plenty
of Good Tenor Voices in the United States—
Americans Singing in Operas in Europe Win
Success—Interesting Views.
Why is the American opera tenor?
For the good reason that he isn't, comes the
prompt answer. And not alone does this response
fit the rarest type of masculine voices, but those of
the opposite sex, as well. But these opinions are
from the public. Opera singers have a different
viewpoint—Riccardo Martin, for one. Mr. Mar-
tin, who is a Kentuckian, and a firm believer in the
musical feature of his country, declares that the
United States has plenty of good natural tenor
voices and an abundance of sopranos, contraltos,
baritones and basses.
It is his belief that the reason for the compara-
tively small number of successful American sin-
gers in opera rests with the lack of opportunity
here for their development. He cites his own ex-
perience as a case in point and directs attention to
the Americans singing leading operatic roles in
many of the leading German music centers as evi-
dence supporting the truth of his statement.
"In the last three years," said the Metropolitan
tenor, "I have heard about fifty Americans eager
