these roles. I know this from my own
experience. But a voice that is natur-
ally light in timbre had better leave
them alone.
"Then there is the problem of dic-
tion. Even a native German has to
prepare very carefully for Wagner-
ian diction. Non-Germans, such as I,
must make a special study, not only
of German, but of special Wagnerian
German. Before coming to the United
States, I had sung only in Norway
and Sweden, except for two seasons at
Beyreuth. When I arrived in Bay-
reuth to sing for Frau Wagner and
Intendant Tietjen, I sang as I was
accustomed to, and learned that my
Wagner style was not the orthodox
Bayreuth style. I was told my dic-
tion was not crisp enough. That
meant setting to work not only in
the roles I was to sing, but on a com-
pletely new style of diction.
"But perhaps the greatest need of
the Wagnerian singer is the mental
approach. The power of the Wagner
characters lies in the fact that they
are not story book people, but actual
figures of history and legend who
present to us real life, real emotion,
real conflict."
