How about the cele- brated Grand Ballet and the sixty- eight different state operas of the former empire? Have they been changed to something new, im- proved or degenerated, or wiped out of existence? | My curiosity, writes Ivan Narod- ny in “Musical America,” was in- tensified by seeing the poorly dressed population of Leningrad, which was totally different to the |aristocratic crowds of the former | St. Petersburg I had last seen twen- jty-two years ago. In this city, once ;so fashionable, could be seen such factory workers as may be seen in | Pittsburgh, and Chicago, Natural- lly, I asked whether a proletarian! population of this sort could afford, the aristocratic and fashionable mu-} {sical entertainments of our bour- eois order—such as the ballet, |opera, and symphony concerts. In America we think that only people of means and leisure can afford music of the most expensive sort} | and that the poor can manage with| something less costly. bee | Shortly after my arrival in the | Hotel Europe in Leningrad, I asked) the clerk for a schedule of current musical performances and found to my ‘amazement that, irrespective |of the lateness of the season, active musical season announcements promised an opera, “Ivan the Sol- dier,” by Klementy Korchmarey, at}; Marinsky State Opera, and a | ballet, “Konek Gorbunek,” by Puni at the Alexandrilnsky State Thea-| tre, in addition to a number of in- strumental concerts and song re- citals in various halls. Judging! from the social bulletin, Leningrad | was musically as active as ever; and the situation so surprised me| that I asked the clerk how people} could afford such costly pleasures| ter clothes and elementary com-| forts. “Our public, you know, than miss an evening at the opera) or the ballet,” he replied with an ironic smile. “Our concert halls and theatres are always packed with the same type of proletarian crowd that you see on the streets. We are a music-obsessed people and can’t help it.” : From the general appearance it was plain that theatres, operas, | museums and bookstores were the most patronized social institutions | of the city. | Glancing over the music pages of the daily papers, I found anngunce- ments of new operas and ballets, paragraphs relating to new com- rs AT COOPER UNION (8th St. and ASTOR PLACE) At 8 o'Clock SUNDAY, FEB. 3 i MR.
