1best work she has done this year, and was marked by a tenderness of manner and a pleasing quality of voice that were full evidence that her artistic training has been of the best. The Wagnerian roles are all so new to Madame Barna as to make her success of yesterday surprising. She has a felicitous manner and infuses the simplest phrases with just the right shade of meaning, and she took advantage of all that was beautiful in the Sieglinde music to show her lyrical powers, and consequently one's favorite strains had a happy interpretation. While absolute familiarity with the part may add to the force of the declamatory passages, as it is, by reason of its pathetic grace, her Sieglinde gives true satisfaction.—Philadelphia Press.
