resume tho performance. The people quickly set
tied in their places, and the play went on. The set
ting of the first stage picture was one OF the most
elegant of the whole evening The scene repre-
scented rocky place, which stretched great
natural arch through it led the descent to long
valley seen in distant perspective. Wotan
stood in the foreground, with his spear and
armOr, and near at hand was his daughter and
fayOrite Walkyre, Brinnhide FRAU Maternal, the
principal female character OF the drama and doubt
less the greatest of all Wagners creations She too
was armed, wearing coat OF mail over her long
robes. and carrying shield and helmet. Wotan com
manded her to make ready her horse and in the ap-
preaching fight between Sicgmund and Hundng to
give the victory to Segmund. She hastened to
obey, mounting from rock to rock with the wild and
joyful Iiojo-toho p which we hear prominently
in the Ride of the Walkyres But Fricka here
came to insist that Wotan should punish the lovers

summit of the rocky arch in the background drawn

forcble defamation, and of almost illimitable sHg
gestyeness, which alone would point out Wagner as
the greatest Of writers for the musical stage. The
motive which indicates in its heavy bass the bind
ing force of law upon thes gods was given out
| in the orchestra, and Wotan sadly yielded his
will we heard Brinnhildes cry in the distance, and
the Walkyrio appeared upon the ridge of the arch.
She led her horse by the bridle,-a glossy black
creature with fine head ard wel-arched neck. clean
limbs and shapely shoulders, who trod the
boards as if he we're on his native soil
