In parts:
"Herr Siegmund Skraup ist seit Dezember 1939 mehrfach gastweise und seit dieser Spielzeit in fester Verpflichtung hier tätig. Ich habe in ihn einen feinsinnigen Künstler kennen gelernt. Seine Inszenierungen waren stets aus dem Geiste der Musik entstanden und in restloser Einfindung in den Stil des betr. Werkes ausgearbeitet. [...]"
Translated:
"Mr. Siegmund Skraup has been a guest several times since December 1939 and has been working here on a permanent basis since this season. In him I got to know a subtle artist. His stagings always arose from the spirit of the music and were worked out in total incorporation into the style of the work in question. [...]"
