THE CLOSING SCENE.
3Y CABLE TO THE TRIBUNE. !

ITS TRAGIC NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. BY WAGNERS
oPPONENTS-A BANQUET TO BE GIVEN TONIGHT.
BAYREUTH. Bavaria, Thursday Aug. Il, 1876.
The conclusion of the great work, "The Ring of
the Nbung" here tonight was gIandly tragic. 1t
far surpassed anything that had been seen before
The closing act, in which the awful termination
of the struggle for gold came to an
end completely oycrcamc the entire audience
whose enthusiasm seemed TO know no limits. The
scene at the funeral pyrc the farewell admonitory
address of Brynlild the rising of the flames and
smoke ard tie appearance of the Daughters of the
Rhine with the overfiowinc of the river was fitting
termination to drama into which so much that Is
grand and terrible and majestic has entered.
Those who are not followers Of this school of
music in their criticisms admit that they find much
melody in the work and that tho Niblung is the
greatest of Wagucrs creations. They con-
slider that he has given proGcmnance
TO the dramatic over the lyric element.
Some acts. they say, wearisomc, but it is adj
mitted that the Nbung will be model to future
generations as a work of the highest dramatic
and musical character. There was much en-
thusiasm at the close of the opera, and
Herr Wagner returned thanks to the audience for
their applause. A banquet will be given TO the
patrons tomorrow night, at which Herr Wagner
will make an address.
