ner himself came over from Bayreuth.
In art circles a feverish excitement pre-.
vailed, and a day before the opera was
produced, Notwithstanding the increased
prices Of admission, the ticket Office was
beleaguered by an eager crowd. AS nc
reserved seats were to be had in the gal

its position in the entrance in long rews
two abreast, early in the afternoon, anc
this in spite Of the steady rain. Every
ticket for the next performance, which
will take place tomorrow, is already
taken. The interior Of the theater pre-
scented a festive appearance, and Waeh
