Nixon – Return of Opera Company
The return engagement of a section of San Carlo Grand Opera Company at the Nixon this week will give Pittsburgh opera lovers their last chance this season of hearing grand opera in italian. The company brings with it most of the stars who made its performaces such a success here before, and will present several singers new to this city. Sig. Giuseppe Tricario, a dramatic tenor who was formerly with the Boston Opera Company, will appear in ''Aida'' and ''Pagliacci'', in which roles his acting is said to be remarkably fine.
