Unnamed Japanese spectator in Covent Garden - July, 1905
from Memories of a Musician: Reminiscences of Seventy years of Musical Life, pages 322-3:
Apropos of her (Luisa Tetrazzini's) assumption of the part of Madama
Butterfly, when it was first performed at Covent
Garden, I heard a Japanese gentleman remark
that it was the only truthful presentment of
Japanese life on the stage that he had seen since
he came to Europe.
