CRITIC REVIEW:

“Walter Hyde studied with Garcia, and appeared in operas as a student, and then in light musicals. He sang Siegmund in the English RING at Covent Garden, and appeared there regularly from 1908 to 1923. After singing with the Beecham Company he became the director of the British National Opera Company.”
