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!

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.

"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.
