If You Knew What All That Fine
Singing Was About It Might
Not Charm,
"l notice the Metropolitan’* going
to sing one opera in English this
year," said the fat man at the cigar
stand. "That'll be nice. I never could
quite enjoy bearing a lot of gurgles
and googles In Dago or Dutch."
"Don't get all heated up in ad
vance." returned the thin man with
the straw hat. "If you think you can
go to the opera tpnd understand all
the words, you’re betting on a busted
flush.
Slop and think a minute! When
the church quartet bursts into its
Easter anthem can you tell wh.,
they're singing about .’ Not unless
you follow the hymn book. When the
merry, merry chorus in a musical
comedy gallops down to the footlights
with its usual tra-la-la. did you ever
absorb a syllable? *No!
"Then why expect to understand
English words sung by Italians. Ger
mans. French folk and a Spaniard or
tw<»? It won’t be the real thing.
Music's the Main Thing.
-"Hut don’t let this interfere with
your enjoyment »>f opera. The music
will be just a* sweet, and musk ;s
99 4-5 per cent of an opera, anyway.
And suppose y ou could understand the
words, you’d be sorry afterward.
"Take a literal translation of the
libretto oi" one of the most popular
operas of a recent season. The so
prano has just swallowed a dose of
rough-on-rats prepared for a frien.l.
She pauses. looks surprised and
pained, and carols a few top notes o
express consternation.
"'What was that?’ she trills, to
translate it literally. 'Was it water?
No. it wasn't water. It didn’t taste
like water. It taste*] nasty. Yes. it
was poison. 1 feel it in iny insides
It gives me the trouble like the sea
sickness, only far more so.'
"Then site rushed dow n stage, grabs
the tenor around the knees and an
nounces:
While She Awaits "Death.”
I am dying. I am dead. I can
see visions of the little cottage where
1 was born and where my mother
raises sheep, goats and poultry . While
1 am waiting, for the. poison to do iis
deadly work 1 will sing you a song •
m.v childhood.’
And she does. She sings it ad
libitum, with all kinds of runs and
cadenzas and hemi-riemi-semi-qua-
vers. And it's beautiful. It really
You’d think she were an archangel
singing an anthem from heaven if
you didn'4 understand the words. Bit
once you begin to get the drift of the
conversation grand opera becomes a
joke.
"That’s why the great companies
stick to Italian. Every now and th n
some prima donna comes out strong
for opera in English, for any old in
terview 1s good advertising. But you
don’t notice the impresarios losing
any sleep, do you? No; grand opera
in English is like watching a magician
from behind the scenes. You don't
see the magic. You just see him take
the rabbits out of the hole in the
