The mad scene

After the Mad scene she received a twenty minute ovation and sixteen curtain calls, which it seems, is a record for the Palacio de Bellas Artes. The radio announcer explained that he had to shout to be heard over the demonstration in the auditorium.
Diaz Du-Pond remembers vividly: ‘I am sure that the emotion and the tears that Maria shed in her dressing room after her first Mad scene and after being called to the curtain sixteen times, a record in the history of the Bellas Artes [Theatre], was never repeated.’
