Mademoiselle Johanna Wagner as "Romeo", at Her Majesty's Theatre, 1856. German opera singer in London stage production. For the splendid triumph achieved by her on this occasion Mdlle. Wagner was not indebted to the merits of the opera, which is among the weakest of the many weak productions of the modern Italian stage. It is one of Bellini's earliest pieces, composed while his powers were yet immature...She is a beauty of the genuine Saxon type, with blue eyes...and a profusion of fair hair. She is above the ordinary female stature, exquisitely formed, and free and graceful in every movement. When she appeared in the chivalrous attire of the youthful Romeo, a burst of admiration shook the house...When, at length, her voice was heard, its rich, deep contralto tones, in a piece of spoken recitative, completed the spell wrought by her aspect'. From "Illustrated London News", 1856
