In opera he points the way to a Promised Land out of the bondage of meaningless Italianate gesture and singing. In con cert he is equally a trail blazer, stamp ing every song with his own personality. Since his first big triumph at the Metro politan Opera House, the most sensational ever accorded an American, Tibbett ha« aroused each season in opera the same scenes of unbounded enthusiasm and com pletely equalled them in the concert field.
