Three Centuries of Prime-Donne Costume-Song Recital BY YVONNE DE TREVILLE
The costume-recital presented by Yvonne de Treville, the internationally famous Grand Opera primadonna, is unique, as it unites so many qualities in its program, interpretation and presentation.

It is historically interesting because in each of its three parts it contains not only the arias and songs sung by the primadonna to which that part is dedicated, but also contemporary songs of other nations in their native language.

In the first part, garbed as Mdlle. de Maupin Louis XIV's favourite, she sings the arias of Lulli, the kitchen-boy, who became court composer to 
Louis XIV, as well as songs by Rameau, Hasse and the Englishmen, Hood, Carey, etc.

In the second part, appearing in the picturesque 1850 costume of Jenny Lind--to whom, when singing at the Royal Opera of Stockholm,	de Treville has been compared by the Swedish Nightingale's compatriots--she sings songs by Proch the composer of the most difficult coloratura test pieces; Cesar Franck, the serious Belgian organist; a group of Skandinavian Folksongs, which Christine Nielson taught de Treville while the younger primadonna was in Sweden--and closes with the superlatively difficult Mad Scene from the Camp of Silesia,written by Meyerbeer for the opening of the Berlin Opera House, and arranged by the composer for Jenny Lind.

The third part of the program is subject to change in individual numbers, but it is devoted to modern arias from the operatic repertoire of the prima-
donna Yvonne de Treville, and English, French, German and American songs written and arranged for the XXth century primadonna by Charles 
Wakefield Cadman, Eva ‘dell 'Acqua, Mary Carr Moore, Bungert in collaberation with the Royal poetess Carmen SylvaQueen of Roumania, etc., etc.	

Among the decorations worn on her Paris frocks by Yvonne de Treville will be seen the golden order of Benemerito bestowed upon her by H.M. King Carol of Roumania.
 European Press CommentsTHE OPINION OF THE GREAT EUROPEAN CRITIC DR. WILHELM KIENZEL,
Composer of Evangeliman, Kuhreigen, etc.
Yvonne de Treville is a prima-donna of the highest rank!  In her vocal art, which recalls the best epoch of the Italian virtuoso, everything is at the highest point of perfection.  Add to this perfect taste, a lovely warmth of interpretation, that are rarely met with in a coloratura singer.

Those who wish to learn the art of song must not fail to attend the performances of this mistress of vocal interpretation, of mezza voce and of brilliant coloratura.  We hope they will soon have this opportunity.

Yvonne de Treville's voice shines in youthful splendour.  Her art has attained its zenith.  She is an artiste in full possesion of her powers,
knowledge, youth and temperament, absolutely natural and absolutely spontaneous.  She has been equally gifted with all nature's charms.

Her voice is of refreshing quality in all registers, full and flexible; the timbre permits of the fullest crescendo and melting pianissimo; the intonation is faultlestly pure, and the octave scales compel our admiration by their evenness.  And, as de Treville adds to these great gifts a marvelous facility of execution.  She is a perfect phenomenon among the singers of our time.
Hungary.  Budapest.PESTER LLOYDDe Trevilles art seems to be always sure, and proof against any change of clime or climate.  She was the object of continued ovations, culminating after the Bell Song, in which the bravura of her marvellons staccati brought forth storms of applause.  In answer to this she sang the favorite Hungarian " Folk-Song, " which she naturally had to repeat.Germany.

Her pianissmo is developed to perfection; the respiration and declamation excellent.  Her orientaly colored staccato and coloratura work were perfection.

Its range is wide.PRESS
Her art, by no means limited by coloratura shows extraordinary ease and brilliancy and includes the ability to penetrate the poetic content of a composition and invest it with intelligence, refinement and feeling.


She gave an exhibition of coloratura bravura which might have made Tetrazzini turn pale with envy.  Her lofty trills on D flat and D in alt, were particularly noteworthy.
Canada.  TorontoMAIL and EMPIREThe coloratura soprana scored another triumph with the Bell Song.  De Treville has a voice of singular beauty.  Few coloratura sopranos can claim an organ of such flexibility, throughout the entire range it is so strikingly even that the artist seems to sing with something of the spontaneous ease of a bird.  It is an outpouring of pure, rippling song.  The melting beauty of the high notes, the perfect control of the tricky passages, and above all, the swelling of the trills--a vocal feat so loved by Mme. Tetrazzini--combined to make a piece of rare vocalism.Mexico.  Mexico CityHERALDHer voice is of wonderful sweetness and delicacy, clear and true in the upper register, full resonant and sympathetic throughout.
