The gen- al public, 1 believe, has little con- ption of the immense difiiculties attendant on a really great produc- {tion of a tremendous musical work, !such as ‘Mme. Butterfly,’ which we presented in December. or ‘Tales of Hoffmann.' which will be given Mon- day night, January 21, at the Presi- dent Theater. In addition, we will produce early in March ‘Carmen,’ which {s recognized as one of the greatest” operas of the French school. “To carry out our program is no sy undertaking. The dlficulties are at times almost heartbreaking, but such things as the gift of Mr. Fels are more than pleasing because of their convine- ing proof that our artistic worth is recognized beyond the borders of Wash- ington, and the Washington Opera Com- is going steadily forward to its place in the sun as & national institu- tion of which every Amerlean always will be proud.
