Talk:Maggie Teyte

Strangely-written sentences

 * To prepare for Pelléas et Mélisande, she studied with Debussy himself, and she is the only singer ever to be accompanied by Debussy on the piano with an orchestra in public (see Beau Soir).


 * I have trouble understanding this. I envisage a stage with Teyte singing "Beau Soir", accompanied by an orchestra that included a piano played by Debussy.  Was he also the conductor?  Can someone come to my rescue here?


 * Instead, she moved to America ... singing in Philadelphia and elsewhere, but not in New York, though she created the title role in Henry Kimball Hadley's opera, Bianca, at Manhattan's Park Theater in 1918. 


 * First, we're told that the places she sang in the USA did not include New York. But in the very same sentence we're told she sang in a theatre in Manhattan.  Last I checked, Manhattan is generally considered to be in New York.  Why this weird contradiction?


 * Thanks in advance. --   Jack of Oz   [Talk]  20:00, 29 October 2012 (UTC)
