BY HE new year, 1927, came in with many melodious pro- grams during the past weck, and the coming seven days romite 1o keep up a similar pace During the ent week, however, it is opera that dominates the situa tion. And such a situation! The feature of the week will be the per- forn l.a Boheme,” Puccini's opera based the novel written by Murger and called “Bohemian Life” It tale of life and love in the famous Latin Quarticr of Paris that se i down-at-the-h sions crowded ¢l S rtists artists and Mount <e at aperitif time the 1 merrim 14th of Cevit will have singers v ance of : Ipen 5t the ers 1 Heart American sing leading roles, and ot » are well known fave with local opera patrons will pate: George Ge ductor of the Roy: Rumania, ance, an tion looked cians In addition to the second opera of the season, two prominent sopranos of the Metropolitan Opera House of New York will he heard here citals.

It will be especially interesting to those who have not heard her ih opera to take advantage of this early oppor- tunity to judge her voice in concert work and form their own opinions. So much has been printed ahout Miss Talley, her voice and her work with it, pro and con, that the sub- ject has really assumed an intriguing aspect. 1 ital joint hom s0 * ok x ok I\' addition to the wealth of vocal ‘music on the hoards for the com- ing seven days there will be piano music that should prove unuually in- teresting.

Mr. Levitz- ski will play, according to his pro. §ra_m. the Tschaikowsky “Troika. his work is supposed to describe a Russian cab drawn by three horses. The interesting part about this num- ber, entirely aside from its obvious musical merit, lies in the fact that when the pianist was a boy in Rus- a he chose as the occupation for his future that of heing a cab driver.

Dr. Frank Damrosch of the Musical Institute and Leonard Lich- ling gave the principal talks and Har- | old Bauer played several numbers. This idea of associating teachers nf‘ music just as those engaged in | the majority of other trades and pvnrl fessions, are organized for their com- | mon good, is not a new, but. until | now, apparently “unworkable” idea The reasons for the lack of success in previous attempts have been gigen as temperament, desire for inde- pendence and inability to get to- gether on a definite pian. The two chief aims of the league. as now or- ganized, are to establish standards that must be adhered to by all de- siring to_hang out musical studio “shingles.” <o as to attempt to elimi- nate the large percentage of fakes, | and to establish definite economic | recognition of the actual money val- ue of music lessons. A highly” com- mendable project, apparently. Mr | Thompson also intimated that dur- ing the next 10 days, when he is in Washington, it is his desire to con- sult many m local music circles rel tive to starting a branch of this or- | ganization in Washington.
