Lehmann in the Original Ariadne
• We have discovered the program for Lehmann’s short excursion out from the Hamburg Opera to make her Berlin Opera debut. Here are the details: 15 May 1913 Berlin debut: Ariadne auf Naxos (before being re-written); LL: Echo/First Sängerin; Hafgren-Maag, Ariadne; Sommer, Baccus; Andrejewa Skilong, Zerbinetta; Mr. Geisendörfer, Komponist (at this point performed by a male voice, this being the first version of the opera: a play and an opera); Dr. Besl, cond., Berlin Staatsoper (Schauspielhaus).
