REVOLUTION Il THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE OPERA
has taken place since wrote you. For the last few
years there has been very great falling off in tho
performances at the Opera, and it is believed that,
the cause OI this decline Is be attributed to tho
non-respouslbty otthe Director and to the numer-
GUS abuses in the administration of the 'icgGeEic
I"Per'"le. 4 thorough cleansing Of the Augon
g'o6'es IS TO take place. responsible Director will
be named, with SubvCnsiOn of many thousand
francs. 1t is said 5ge0JJ cs, out of which, he will
nave pay the muSlcllnS OF the orchestra literally,
for up TO the present tine, they have had to fiddle
away, night after night, for almost nothing.
This reform in the administration OF the Opera has
been met very tavor&bly by tho Partisan public, for
it was high time that the "Acadcmie hapcriale'
should no longer be no better than the past time OF
the members Of the Jockay-Club who would tolerate
no opera. IN which there not ballet.
1t was at first feared that tho Government would
have some difficulty In lndlng manager who would
undertake sucn responsibility; but such fears arc
groundess already several candidates have offer
