Case-hardened operagoers were
astounded at the spectacle that un

themselves at two minutes past 8

It was like the “inside of the bowl”
that spectacle. At one end towered
the proscenium. The rest was solid

pavement—a pavement of faces from
the front, of coiffures and pompa

the rear The boxes blazed with
gems, biilowed wtih chiffon and other

¢rest of white arms and throats and
shoulders that caused the dress circle
to stare down and the arena floor to
stare up, and the boxes themselves (o
peep sidewise a bit--fust to see what
it was all about.

home of the true lovers of music, the

‘IL TROVATORE STORY
OF GYPSY'S REVENGE
By MORTIMER WILSON,
Director Philharmonic Orchestra.
“Jl Trovatore” had its first per
formance in the Apolio Theater,
in Rome, January 19, 1853. It was
first produced in this country in
New York, at the Academy of
Music, April 30, 1855. The work
was a tremendous success from
the first, and soon betame uni
versally popular. The themes
helng the embodiment of Jucidity,
and the plot of a murderous char
acter, as well as one also of love,
seams to he slightly inconsistent.
But after all, all opera is that,
The story is as follows:
The talkative captain of the
princely guard, Ferrando, tells the
goldiers that the Count di Luna
(in whose service the captain is)
is {n love with lL.eonora, and very
jealous of a mysterious trouba
dour, whom Leonora prefers, and
that he and the Count are always
searching for a certain Gypsy
woman 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 Count di
Luna. The daughter had elther
burned or else had kidnaped
Garcia di Luna, the younger son,
some helieved that she had
thrown the boy in the fire. There
are those who do not believe these
storles, but think the child is still
allve and a Gypsy rover, though
nothing has ever heen heard or
seen of him or his captors,
Leonora, attended by Tnes,
steals out at midnight to a se
cluded corner of the gardens of
the palace, hoping to meet her
lover. Manrico of Urgel, who, by
coming, endangers his liberty and
life. Leonora describes the ro
mantie manner in which she met
her Jover, and Inez, while sympa
thetic, does not sea that any good
can come from the affair. After
the ladies have returned to the
palace, Count dif Luna and Man
rico reach the spot by different
roads, almost at the same time.
J.conora returns and embraces
the wrong man'.. and Manrico
suspects her; Leonora faints, and
the men leave her to fight the
due! which closes the first act.
Manrico is victorious in the
duel, and spares the life of his
rival. A Gypsy settlement !s the
scene which follows. A new war
fare has arisen beiween Arragon
and Biscay, and Manrico has been
wounded in same. He oftes 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 {s all
tenderness to Manrico, While sit
ting by the fire, she sings a flerce
ballade descriliing a dreadful act,
a woman being burned, and
thinks of her mother's fate, whose
last words had been "Avenge
me!”
Manrico hears these awful sen
timents, and suspects he is not
the son of such a woman.
Count di Luna plans to abduct
lL.eonora, whom he hears is hid
den In a convent and has decided
to take the veil, because she be
lieves Manrico to bhe 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 anvthing but safe in the
solitary fortress In the Bay of
Biscay. The Gypsy woman
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. l.eonora comes to trv 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 courtyvard
below, the Gypsy's revenge is
won. She drags d! Luna to the
window, where the torches light
the block and corpse, saying, “He
was vour brother. Mother, thou
art revenged.” ‘

Audience Mars the Music
. By Mortimer Wilson.
(Director of the Philharmonic Orchestra.)
A packed house and an eager andience awaited the appearanee
of Toscanini and his plunge into the erisp inteoduetion of ** Manon™’
last night, which opened another season of opera in Atlanta, and
this week promises to be even more suceessful than any of the fore
going visits of the Metropolitan Company.
Unfortunately the bulk of the listeners (we shall eall them
such, though some were not ), were too 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 much of the beauty of the setting by fidgeting around
in their seats, or by aetually conversing alond. This does net hap
pen in the boxes, nor in the gallery, but in the main part of the
honse. We suggest that a beadle he appointed to make the rounds
of the arena to quiet the offenders who persist in continuous con
versation throughout tha entire hill. Music is, it listened to atten
tively, a strain upon the physical as well as the mental faculties,
and those who keep their seats (not heing 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 encroaching
upon their rights if asked to rise while the inner seat occupants
reach the aisles. A little consideration on the part of everyone
will make matters still more pleasant. :
. . .
Manon Not Good Opening Bill
The performance of ‘‘Manon’’ on the whole was snecessful, but
the piece did not prove a good opening bill for Atlantans in gen
eral, for the reason that the audiences aye not accustomed to wading
throngh a new work, and many were heard to repeat their dis
pleasure of the opera, as was the case last vear after the perfor
mance of ‘‘Cyrano.”’ It is a question diffieult to determine whether
it is best to feast the audience upon the sweets of Verdi and Don
izetti, hoping that the newer works may later be desired, or to pre
sent a few of the more auditorily difficult works, which seems to be
the policy of the authorities hehind the program-making for the
week. We believe that the greatest results along real musie edu
cation would be reached by seven performances of the same work,
providing one eould be assured that the bhoxoffice receipts would
not rapidly diminish. It 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
listen. For some sweet day there will be an awful drop in our
musical market when we are called upon to show our prowess. And
all we shall have to show will be several seasons’ opera programs in
our scrapbook and a memory of the season tieket fee.
The eonversation stopped with the drawing of the curtains,
and a curions hush was noticeable throughout the house. T.eseaut,
through the clever Gilly, dominated the flrst scene, and made many
new friends for his counterpart. Gilly was in good voice, and ey -
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 charac
teristic of the part of Manon she became 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 Harrar after all
and not Manon.
Support of Stars Splendid
Caruso’s entrance was the signal for everyone to applaud, and
this everyone 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 more 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 Count, 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 expect
nothing else but perfection. The high-lights were strong n his
orchestra's performance, and such an ensemble as he perforee
‘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 expeects to retire from the field of opera and
enter the symphonic. 1f this be true, we condole with the operatic
and congratulate the symphonie. .
