Emma Calvé, Soprano, and Her Company Some details added and clarified from review. Mme. Calvé sang the aria from Massenet's "Hérodiade" in place of the Mad Scene from Thomas' "Hamlet", and sang "Charmant oiseau" for her second aria, instead of the Massenet. The French folk songs listed in the program after the Sarasate violin solo were not performed. "MME. CALVE'S CONCERT." New York Times (1857-1922), Feb 23, 1906, pp. 9.
