Nino Martini, radio singer, and Lily Pons are as handsome a couple in “Rigoletto” as you can imagine.
The “Salome” which Richard Strauss composed at the turn of the century will be “revived” next Saturday evening… Lotte Lehmann, who turned down two German invitations to create Strauss’s title role in his new “Arabella” last Summer, makes her Metropolitan debut this week in “Die Walkuere.”
