Note
Typed on recto beside photo : "'The Jewel of the Evening " Irene Dalis . "Il Trovatore " -- Metropolitan Opera tour . Boston , Atlanta . Minneapolis & Detroit , Spring 1973 . "As Azucena , Irene Dalis made a deep impression vocally and histrionically . Surprisingly , there are few topflight operatic singers these days capable of assuming the great mezzo and contralto roles , but Miss Dalis is one who can be depended upon for an intelligent , musicianly performance. " The Christian Science Monitor , April 1973 . "Especially effective was Irene Dalis in the difficult role of Azucena ,. She not only has a fine mezzo-soprano voice , but also considerable dramatic gifts. " The Atlanta Constitution , May 1973 . "Miss Dalis gets my vote for the best all-round performance , because in ad-dition to consistently fine singing , she managed to bring some measure of credibility to the characterization of that incredible gypsy. " The Atlanta Journal , May 1973 . "But the jewel of the evening was mezzo-soprano Irene Dalis as Azucena . She won plaudits for such impassioned singing that I , for one , could believe that in the white heat of her rage at injustice she had once thrown the wrong baby into the fire . Dalis ' voice glows even when she plumbs the dark territory below middle C. " The Minneapolis Star , May 1973 . "Irene Dalis ' performance of the half-mad old women could hardly have been bettered , either in singing or acting. : Detroit Free Press , June 1973 .
