R., GATTI-CASAZZA gave a sumptuous revival of Weber's “Buryanthe” at the Metropoll- {tan Opéra Housd on Saturday after- ffeon. The opera wae dropped out of repertory of the house more than @ quarter of a century ago and it is eS wabecribers hoped, or wished, @ hear work again. Rumor bas tt that Mr. Toscanini ts responsible for the breathing into the nostrila of the dead work a new life. True, or * falas, It 1s he who bore the burden and carried off the honors of the pro- *“@uction. The beautiful stage settings fer the play, the notable singers in the cast, and the music that the com poser has provided for them and for fhe orchestra would avail little but for him. Never were his talents more ¢;, Hemplendent. At his entrance to the ; @Fehestra nit before the last act he “was greeted with what usually is + @alled an ovation and, strange to say, . BO. acknowledged it with gracious bows and smiles. Now comes the question, why this revival? The absurd libretto nobody defends, but the story upon which it ts based is no less absurd. Doubtless te old French folk yarn, of which +. Becoacio in Italian and Shakespeare: , tm Engliah availed himself is the off- spring of Arabian invention, when Jinte and Dini vurs were under, etood to infest the earth and to fight. with, or against, mortals. It has no grip upon the realistic imagination of to-day, and neither has the music with which Weber has adorned the, tale. Talk about the modern mnaical “° veritists as you please, they have the virtue of sincerity and “Euryanthe” in the music of Weber, no less than in the libretto of Helmine von Cheze, is insincere and, to tell the truth, tire- some. ‘That Weber's opera holds passages ‘of intrinsic beauty there can be no question. Notable are the pianissimo choruses in the Royal Castle in the Grat act; Euryanthe’s delicious warb- ‘ings in the castle garcens of Nevers; » the duet between Egiantine and Lysi- ast before the tomb, with the rain in such a torrent that half the + audience involuntarily looked to the Peecee be to see if the deluge were com- tng through, and the one sincere aria of Buryanthe’s sung before the spring in the last act. Frieda Hempel, in the title part, not, perhaps in her best voice, added @ worthy impersonation to her gallery. Margarete Ober eeomed to find occasional: difficultics in the part of Egiantine, but made her way suecesstully with the char- acter, Johannes Sembach won new for his Adolar, the hero, and ' made the most of a ‘mall « @art.

The Apostie of Bayreuth also stole much from his papa-in-law, Liszt. What of it? Every genius ie a pla arist, or he wouldn't be a genius.
