‘IL TROVATORE' STORY
OF GYPSY'S REVENGE
By MORTIMER WILSON,
Director Phitharmonic Crchestra.
“11 Trovatore” had its first per
formance in the Apollo Theater,
in Rome, Jamuary 19, 1853, It was
first produced in this country in
New York, at the Academy of
Music, April 30, 1865. The work
was a tremendous success from
the first, and soon hecame uni
versally popular. The themes
being the embodiment of lucidity,
and the piot of a murderous char
acter, as well as one also of love,
seems to be slightly inconsistent.
But. after all, all opera ig that.
The story is as follows:
The talkative captain of the
princely guard, Ferrando, tells the
soldlers that the Count di Luna
(in whose service the captain is)
is in love with Leonora, and very
jealous of a mysterious trouba
dour, whiom Leonora prefers, and
that he and the Count are always
searching for a certain Gypsy
womar®who committed a crime
against the di Luna family 25
vears ago. The woman's mother
had been burned as a witch by
the order of the old Tount di
J.una. The daughter had either
burned or eise had kidnaped
Garcia di Luna, the younger son;
gsome baliaved that she had
thrown the boy in the fire, There
are those who do not believe these
stories, but think the child is still
allve and a Gypsy rover, though
nothing has ever been heard or
seen of him or his captors,
l.eonora, attended by Ines,
steals out at midnight to a se
cluded corner of the gardens of
the paiace, hoping to meet her
lover, Manrico of Urgel. who, by
coming, endangers his liberty and
life. TLeonora describes the ro
mantic manner in which she met
her lover, and Inez, while sympa
thetic, does not see that any good
can come from the affair. After
the ladies have returned to the
palace, Count di Luna and Man
rico reach the spot by different
roads. almost at the same time.
I.eonora returns and embraces
the wrong man, and Manrico
-
suspects her; Leonora faints, and
the men leave her to fight the
duel which closes the first act.
Manrico is victorious In the
duel, and spares the life of his
rival. A Gypsy settlement is the
scene which follows. A new war
fare has arisen between Arragon
and Biscay, and Manrico has been
wounded in same. He ofteg re
treats to the Gypsy's camp to
see a woman whom he, believes to
be his mother. This woman,
Azucena, is a wild creature, and
not too bright, though she i{s all
tenderness to Manrico, While sit
ting by the fire. she sings a flerce
ballade describing a dreadful act,
a woman belni burned, and
thinks of her mother’'s fate, whose
last words had been ‘“Avenge
me!"”
Manrico hears these awful sen
timents, and suspects he {s not
the son of such a woman.
Count di Louna plans to abduct
TLeonora, whom he hears is hid
den in a convent and has decided
to take the vell, because she be
lieves Manrico to be dead from
wounds received in battle. Leo
nora is carried off by the count,
but rescued by Manrico.
The third act finds Manrico and
l.eonora anyvthing but safe in the
solitary fortress in the Bay of
Biscay. The Gypsy womarn
brought to the camp is recognized
by Ferrando as the one they have
been long looking for. The fourth
act finds both mother and son
chained in a lonely tower of the
palace. Leonora comes to try to
save her lover, or to bid him
good-bye. Upon the arrival of the
count, Leonora begs for mercy
for Manrico, offering any
thing to him in exchange where
upon the count says that he shall
live. Leonora then swallows siow
poison. With the count coming
in to break his pledge, Manrico
ordered to death in the courtyard
below, the Gypsy's revenge is
won. She drags di Tauna to the
window, where the torches light
the block and corpse, saving, “He
was vour brother. Mother, thou
art revenged.”

Farrar and Caruso Charm
st e o ek o o
Audience Mars the Music
By Mortimer Wilson.
(Director of the Philharmonic Orchestra.)
A packed house and an eager audience awaited the appearance
of Toscanini and his plunge into the erisp introduction of *“Manon”’
Jast night, which opened another season of opera in Atlanta, and
’this week promises to be even more successful than any of the fore
going visits of the Metropolitan Company. 2
Unfortunately the bulk of the listeners (we shall call them
such, though some were not), were 0o husy to give attention to the
overture, and also too inconsiderate of their neighbors to permit
them to give attention to the opening measures of the work, and
thereby lost muech of the heauty of the getting by fidgeting around
intheir seats, or by actually conversing alond. This does not hap
pen in the boxes, nor in the gallery, but in the main part of the
house. We suggest that a beadle be appointed to make the rounds
of the arena to quiet the offenders who persist in continuous con
versation throughout the entire bill. Music is. if histened to atten
tively, & strain upon the physical as well as the mental faculties,
and those who/keep their seats (not being fatigued by such atten
tion to the performance) should not feel that those who desire to
take advantage of the intermissions to walk out are eneroaching
upon their rights if asked to rise while the inner seat occupants
{'each the aisles. A little consideration on the part of everyome
will make matters still more pleasant.
. .
Manon Not Good Opening Bill
| The performance of ‘‘Manon '™ on the whole was suceessful, but
the piece did not prove a good opening hill for Atlantans in gen
eral, for the reason that the audiences are not acceustomed to wading
through a new work, and many were heard to repeat their dis
pleasure of the opera, as was the case last year after the perfor
manee of “Cyrano.”’ It is a question difficult to determme whether
it is best to feast the audience apon the sweets of Verdi and Don
izetti, hoping that the newer works may later be desived, or to pre
sent a few of the more auditorily difficult works, which seems to be
‘the policy of the authorities behind the program-making for the
week. We believe that the greatest results along real music edu
cation would be reached by seven performances of the same work.
providing one could be assured that the boxoffice receizis would
not rapidly diminish. Tt is time for Atlanta to show*to the out
side world. that now believes she is musical from the advertisement
she has had, that she really is trying to do her best to learn how to
Jisten. For some sweet day there will be an awful drop in our
musieal market when we are called upon to show our prowess. And
all we shall have to show will he several seasons’ opera programs in
our serapbook and a memory of the season ticket fee.
The “conversation stopped with the drawing of the curtains,
and a curious hush was noticeable throughout the house. Lesecaut,
through the elever Gilly, dominated the first seene, and made many
new friends for his counterpart. Gilly was in good voice, and evi
dently in the best of humor, for his presence came forward with a
most refreshing breeze every time he was in evidence during the
performance. Miss Farrar’s naive conception of the country lass
was most thoroughly keen; and with each newly developed charae
teristic of the part of Manon she hecame in truth the spirit of that
trait. Miss Farrar is as charming as ever, and through all the acts
we never can quite lose sight of the fact that it is Farrar after all
and not Manon. :
- -
Support of Stars Splendid
Caruso’s entrance was the signal for everyone to applaud, and
this everyvone did with determination. The first tone uttered by
this world-famed tenor was clung to by the audience, and never
once allowed to be forgotten, for all eyes are ever upon Caruso.
The part of Des Grieux is quite effeminate and fits the Signor but
illy. He made much mere of the part than it really contains. We
shall have better opportunity to see and hear the real Caruso at
other times during the week. Rothier, as the (ount, gave us a
delineation most satisfactory. The part is short, and such calls
for a careful working out, or, as with the miniature, the perspective
is lost. :
| Only in the Metropolitan Company do we find such an array
of adequate support. Special mention must be made of the splen
did work of the chorus, and under Toscanini one should expeet
nothing else but perfection. The high-lights were strong in his
orchestra’'s performance, and. such an ensemble as he perforce
must create is a rare delight. We find his orchestra not an accom
paniment to the singers, nor do we ever find a single tone from
the footlights covered up, but everything of importance in the
score is sure to be delivered under his master baton. It is ru
mored that Toscanini expects to retire from the field of opera and
enter the symphonie. 1f this be true, we condole with the operatie
and congratulate the symphonic.

danger of an eruption is not immi
nent.
