F—10 LOCAL Appreciation And Patrons Seen Here br. Kindler’s Proposal for Watergate Be-| lieved to Await Only Right Develop- ment of By Alice Eversman. ! T THE last concert of the “Sunset Symphonies,” Dr. Kindler responded to the delightful appreciation Several times during the struggling existence of the National Sym- phony Dr. Kindler has chosen an appropriate moment to address the audience in behalf of the orchestra. MUSIC of Opera Details. of the audience by a short speech. The special significance of his talk at the end of the Summer series was that he mentioned his desire to include opera next year in the presentations« on the barge at the Watergate. | This is the first time that opera in the Nation's Capital has been cham- pioned by a leader and an artist of the standing of Dr. Kindler. This fact should be a source of rejoicing by those who love and have missed opera in the local musical season. It must have occurred to many who visited the Summer concerts how ideally suited to a presentation of music drama was the entire setting at the Wacergate. The romantic at- mosphere which Mother Nature so understandingly provided, as if she knew how closely united are music and the beauty under her control, did more than could be realized to reveal the evanescent but powerful message inclosed in harmonic sound. But this had to do with but one section of great musical art, and there remains another, in which the human element plays a still greater part. and which is admirably fitted for the beautiful | background which this city is fortu- | nate in possessing. * ¥ Xk X Dr. Kindler, with true artistic in- gight, sees the possibility of opera under these conditions. He realizes that many could be won to the cause of opera in such a setting that would not be so interested in hearing it as usually presented. And those who have had experience in such matters know that once opera is understood, | and that by being heard often enough, it will be demanded as part of each | musical season. | The pros and cons regarding the | eppeal of opera have been discussed constantly, but the point that is most overlooked is that we, in this coun- trv. are not well qualified to have an expert opinion. for we have had too little opportunity to know much sbout the subject. The development of operatic art has not gone hand in hand with that of other branches of music. Symphony orchestras have £prung up in nearly every important musical center and have been a suc-- cess, both financially and in the in- crease of appreciation of this kind of music. but opera, from the Metro- politan down to the smallest local venture, has had a hard time of it, and the present moment sees the pos- eibility of its complete abandonment if something drastic is not done about it. What is the reason for the lack of success of the opera, the most inter- esting and entertaining of all music branches? *oxow ok SEVERAL factors are the cause of this condition. In the first place, opera has been expensive, because it required the importations of direc- tors and singers who had no hesi- tancy in setting the prices of their services many times above the fee they received in their own country. Today America does not need these impor- tations, for it has well trained execu- tives and the greatest opera artists in the world. Besides those already fa- mous there are many waiting an op- portunity to prove their merit and at no exorbitant fee. Although opera requires a special talent and particu- | larized training, as a music form it | should be taken on fits value for musical expression, and not as a medium for the exploitation of per- sonalities. When considered from thag angle, the problem of cost will not be difficult to solve. Opera, purely as music and not as 8 spectacle, has as much to offer as & symphony. It does not matter that one knows exactly what the music represents. It is a great art to be able to expréss in musical phrases the emotions of life and, even with the subject foreign to the present era, the emotional content is the same as we | know today. Although principally presented in a foreign language, it is not more difficult to understand or ap- preciate than a symphony. It is true that an unknown tongue makes it difficult to follow the dramatic devel- opment of the story, but the remedy for that will come with increased in- | terest by music patrons in the art of opera presentation. | ST 'HE second reason for the lack of | appreciation of opera is due to | the manner in which it is given. With | the exception of the large organiza- | tions, operatic companies have been mssembled as a financial adventure, with the artistic side left to the talent of the principal singers. Washington has known, to its regret, just what | that means, and has become wary of | companies whose performances are | marred by mishaps. Inadequate scen- | €ry, poor costuming, choruses which are a trial to the eye and ear, prin- | cipals who have no vision as to the ! interpretation of their roles, orches- tras that fade out at critical moments, and long waits between scenes—there are a few of the many annoyances which the operatic public has grown | to expect when an operatic season is | announced. With an artist such as Dr. Kindler &t the helm the public would be as- | sured that all lapses from a hlgh} standard would be obliterated. The careful working out of details, which adds so greatly to the pleasure of a presentation, could not but be given minute- attention by a2 man whose musical education was grounded in a country where opera has been lovedi and appreciated for centuries. No, musical venture can be a success without the leadership of an artist, and the absolute truth of this state- ment has been verified by the failures of operatic enterprises undertaken | from a business angle. * K Kk K | FEW years ago it would have been nearly impossible to convince this city that a symphony orchestra could be sustained by the music lovers-them- selves. Statistics were brought out; to show what percentage of the popu- | | , National Symphony Orchestra, Must Americans, and Washingto- nians in particular, be continually deprived of opera because heretofore | its production has not been success- | ful? There is a remedy for every con- | dition, if a remedy be earnestly de- | sired and sought, and for opera it is a very simple and logical one. Fore. sight in the budgeting of expenses, and the choice of an artist with a reputation for accomplishing things | in an artistic manner in charge of the productions, it would be safe to wager that the public would do its part, as it has before. ‘Washington has Dr. Kindler, t:e the stage of the water-gate barge and the support of an enthusiastic public, hap- py in its growing love for music. Does this not form a splendid nucleus for the giving of opera? It is not a duty, now that the National Symphony is firmly established, to seek the next means to broaden musical culture? The local concert season lists world- famous pianists, violinists, singers. en- sembles and orchestra, but no opera, New Bureau Opens. NEW national concert bureau with headquarters here has been opened by Arnaldo Conti Berenguer, business manager of the International Art Fo- rum, and Lyle A. Brookover, newspa- per man and member of the forum | and the Arts Club of Washington, to | be known as the Beren-Brook Artists. The bureau announced today its plans to present artists in Washington and other cities during the coming season, concentrating on musical performers from Latin America, a number of whom already are under the local| management. Berenguer is the son of Manuel | Berenguer. flute soloist for years with | Amelita Galli-Curci, and Mme. Ame- lita Conti, solo harpist of the Met- ropolitan Opera Co. Mme. Conti. founder-president of the forum, is artistic adviser to the new enterprise. Philip M. Baker, locai attorney, is associated with the buieau. Among many plans being worked out is presentation to American audi- ences, late this year or early in 1936, of Dalia Iniguez, Cubaa diseuse, who has thrilled artistic circles in Madrid and Havana with her musical reading of Spanish poetry. Iniguez will bring an entirely new type of entertainment | to the United States. | Other artists to be sponsored will | include Ernesto Berumen, Mexican | pianist and radio artist associated with the Frank La Forge Studios in New | Yorl Marta De La Torre, Cuban vio- | linist, who recently toured Spain with | great success: Osvaldo Mazzucchi, | Uruguayan cellist and soloist at N.! B. C.; Remo Bolognini, Argentine vio- linist with the New York Philhar- monic; Aida Donninelli. Guatemalan coloratura with the Metropolitan Op- era Co.; Irma Goebel Labastille, au- thority and lecturer on Latin Ameri- can folk songs and dances, and qthers of equal rank. Club’s 13th Season.

Annual Tour Artist Here Rachmaninoff, With New Compositions, | on Season’s List. ERGEI RACHMANINOFF. the dis- tinguished Russian pianist and composer, will arrive in New York Monday, October 7. on the ste-m-hip Bremen for his annual concert tour of the United States. which brings him to Washington for a recital at Constitution Hall on Tuesday evening. December 10. as one of the attractions of Dorothy Hodgkin Dorsey’s evening concert_series. Rachmaninoff will bring with him several new compositions on which he | has been at work during the past | Summer at his chateau on Lake Lu- cerne in Switzerland. He is keeping | secret the nature of his new compo- sitions, according to C. J. Foley, his personal representative. | “He is very superstitious about dis- cussing a new composition until he has written the last note of it,” Mr. Foley explained. “He has broken his rule on several occasions in the past and on each occasion something has happened to prevent him from com- pleting it. Discussion, he feels, takes the edge off his inspiration.” Rachmaninoff spent the greater portion of the past Summer at his Swiss chateau. although he made a concert tour of Spain, England. Swit- zerland and Scandinavia before set- tling down to his composition. He never composes during a concert tour; he declares the two are incompatible in his case. This American tour will include 28 | concert appearances in eight weeks. Four of his American concerts will be as soloist with orchestras at Chicago, | St. Louis, Minneapolis and Phila- delphia. | * ok ¥ X i KURT JOOSS and his ballet, which | makes its debut locally at the Na- tional Theater January 23, under the | auspices of Dorothy H.

The manor house of Dartington Hall | dates from the days of Queen Eliza- beth. Here, for bad weather, is a lit- tle theater, with seating capacity of 500. In good weather the dancers practice on a wide stretch of lawn walled in by century-old clipped yews. A tour of Holland, Belgium and Switzerland will be made by the ballet before coming to America for a sea- son of six weeks. * %k ¥ X BRAHMS-WAGNER program is announced by Dr. Leopold Sto- kowski for the first in the series of four Thursday evening concerts to be given this Winter in Constitution Hall by the Philadelphia Orchestra under the management ef the T. Arthur Smith Music Bureau. Dr. Stokowski will conduct the initial concert October 24, and the concert December 19, at which Fritz Kreisler, world-famous violinist, will appear as soloist. Other guest con- ductors will be Jose Iturbi, March 12, and Eugene Ormandy, April 2. In preparing his Brahms-Wagner program, Dr. Stokowski is deferring to popular demand and in all proba- bility the program October 24 will in- clude Brahms’ “Fourth Symphony.” Wagner, according to present plans, will be represented by selections from “Tannhauser” and “Rienzi.” Stokowski recently returned from Hollywood, where he experimented in the field of “movie opera,” and was given a screen test in the char- acter of Wagner. “Movie operas are possible,” he said. “For presentation as movies, of course, Wagner, Mozart, Gluck, Bizet and Debussy operas would have to be edited. Operas will come back, as/ things #mprove—and they are improv- ing. Some of opera is too wonderful to die.”” | Season tickets for the Philadelphia Orchestra’s four concerts will be on sale until October 10 at the T.
