| What a pity it was that Berlioz did not fall in love with an Italian singer instead of an English tragedienne! |
| Her skills as a tragedienne come forward in Rigoletto and even more so in La traviata, where she is an unforgettably poignant Violetta. |
| Looking wonderful in Ingeborg Bernerth's handsome costumes, she was every inch the grand tragedienne, stellar of presence and pliantly poetic of plastique. |
| Her genius as a tragedienne surpassed her talent as a singer. |
| She repeatedly escaped into tragedienne dreams, while her mate strutted like a boulevardier. |
| However, she was also a tragedienne not only on-screen, but, sadly, off-screen as well. |
