Lillian Nordics, Just before sho sailed tor Europe, said she has perfected plans for an American Bayreuth, mod eled on the plan of the temple of Was- nerian music in Bavaria. Her project will combine the features of the great Wagner theater In Bayreuth with a school of operatic instruction, where coming American opera singers may be taught under the guidance of the best that the new world affords. Mme, Nordica's theater will probably be known as the Lillian Nordica Fes- tlval House, and will be located on a site ten miles north of Ossining, be tween the Croton reservoir and the river. There are twenty acres In all. They have been bought by the singer for 1100,000. The tract consists of the old Van Cortlnndt estato located at Harman, near Croton Landing. It will be accessible both by water and by rail, being In the electrical zone, so- called, of the New York Central. It lies high above the river and from It there will be obtainable a view of Hie country for forty miles about. TV slope Is naturally favorable for such sn undertaking and the theater build ing. with a seating capacity of 1,000, will be a replica of the original abroad. In fact, one of the reasons why Mme. Nordica has gone abroad Is to* obtain the original plans for the Bayreuth Festival Theater, which will be given over to the New York architects and builders on her return. The theater will be so constructed that In clear weather the roof may be thrown back and the performances may be given virtually In the open air. About It there will bo a group of buildings that will harmon ize. The great singer's own home is not far away, at Ardsley-on-the-Hudson. Other reasons why Mme. Nordica has gone abroad Is to get any suggestions that Frau Costma Wagner may give, and to bring-back the director of the Munich Bayreuth to act as consulting director. The project will* require a vast amount of capital. The J100,000 already expended for the land will be but a small Item, but already a sufficient number ot men of means have been Interested In It to free those at the head of any worry on the money score. Mme. Nordica plans to have a board of women managers, behind whom there will be directors for the financial end of the undertaking. It Is hoped that the projsct will be brought to Its com pitted stage by the summer of 1909. The first year of the. theater will be ’ given over to Wagnerian opera exclu sively. After that there will be operas, oratorios and symphonies from May to' October,' with nil the great artists of tbs world taking part. Mme. Nordica will herself appear In many of her fa vorite roles, but thereafter there will be an Intermixture of the other schools of opera, for the reason, among others, that the educational features ot the Institutes are to be made as compre tensive as possible.
