{ MERICA is having more than its
* ordinary share of opera this
5 year, with so many artists driv
#n from Europe, and 1t is a pity that
the organizations whose tours bring
them within a night’s ride of Atlanta
dare not risk an engagement here,
But the fate of every minor organiza
tion which has offered opera in Atlan
ta since the Metropolitan's seasons
hlln has naturally deterred the im-
Ypresarios.
& Nashvilie and Memphis had a visit
s Yecently from the National Opera
* Company, which has on its list a
wumber of excellent though compara

8 highly praised in both cities,
' Most sf its repertoire had been sung
£in Atldnta by the Meyopolitan, but it
‘offered two operas never sung here
n “The Barber of Seville” and “Don
Pasquale”
| The reorganized Boston Company,
with Max Pabinoff at its head and
Pavlowa and her famous ballet as the

K Martin, who has sung every

vears he has subdued his vocal e;\-‘
überance, with the result that if he s
not guffering from some temporary in
disposition In the way of a cold, he
sings not only with greater art, nut
with greater musical beautyv, Where
as formerly he used a fortissimo near
ly all the time, to-day much of his
singing is done mezzo voce, in the
use of which, I think, he excels al
most any singer I have ever heard.
“And it is precisely here that 1
think Signor Caruso ig in not only to
day what I would call his ‘best voice,’
but that he gives a lesson to ail
artists who would retain thelr voices,
and which they can only do if they
refrain from forcing it, straining it
and, Indeed, refrain from those ‘vo
cal explosions’ with which some, not
only tenors, but baritones, are accus
tomed to bring down the house ani
s 0 appea! to what Hamlet called 'the
groundlings.’
“There are many singers to-day,
and among them some of the promi
nent ones at the Metropolitan, who
are incapable of singing a passage
mezzo voce without distinectly ‘fla‘-
ting." They only get to piteh if thry'
use almost the full force nfi lhmr'

that if it was worth $5 to hear Ca
ruso years ago it is worth $lO to hear
him to-day.” -
