Four
numbers were sung Monday evening, a
solo ("Rigoletto"), duet ("II Trovatore"),
quartet ("Rigoletto") and sextet ("Lucia
di Lammermoor"). Four men and two
women compose the act. Zuriga De Sanctis, the soprano, was very
screechy in her upper register during the
duet number, but did much to carry the
"Lucia" excerpt for the finale. Miss Merlino
has a beautiful contralto. Sig. Passananti,
the tenor, first held the stage with
a solo, which was followed by the duet
in which Salvatore Nunziato joined Mme.
De Sanctis.
