The brilliant stage career of David Bispham virtually had its beginning with his singularly picturesque embodiment of the Duc de Longueville in "La Basoche." There was about it an element of fantastic bizarrerie that was singularly attractive, and which at once drew attention to the unique personality of the artist. From that time forward, in whatever branch of his art he has elected to labor, David Bispham has consistently earned distinction and applause; and his success has been equally emphatic on both sides of the Atlantic. His gift of versatility is extraordinary. Alike in serious and comic characters, in Wagnerian music-drama and light French opera, in oratorio and Lieder, in declamation both spoken and sung, he has proved himself a thoroughly intellectual, accomplished, and original artist. |
