Fodor was succeeded by Belloc, who, though a good singer and actress in comic operas, was not pleasing from the coarseness of her voice and plainness of her person. She was rather like Storace, possessing most of her defects without all her excellencies. She however surprised the public towards the close of her engagement by her excellent performance of the part of Tancredi, for which nothing could be less suited than her figure; but the music was well adapted to her voice, and her singing it was really so good as to make her appearance of no consequence. |
