Légende

Scene (the last) from the opera of "Medea", 1850. London production of Simon Mayr's "Medea in Corinto", the title role sung by Teresa Parodi: '...vengeance accomplished, Medea ascends a car drawn by fiery dragons, and flies with Aegeus to Athens...All the violent transitions of sentiment were rendered truly and with the most startling effect. The curses of the enchantress were withering; her display of maternal feeling made the audience thrill with sympathy; and her last triumph over her enemies...where she mounts her fiery chariot, was portrayed in the grandest spirit imaginable...Her style of singing, and her vocalisation, are immensely improved. Her intonation is as sure as it is impressive, and now she executes florid passages with elegance; whilst the gusty, broken utterance of last year has disappeared. Constant applause greeted this noble display of talent'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
