The Projected Opera House.

The letter from the we'll known impresario,
Mr.. Maurice Strakosch, to the HERALD, in
which he developed his plan for the erec-
tion of new opera house in this city, has
attracted wide comment pro and con among
our contemporaries. The letter, indeed,
seems like Pandora's box, when once
opened, to have set oil sorts of evil things
flying about and settling down in mems
minds until it seems almost crime to have
started the idea at all. But the philoso-
pher who invented Pandora placed
Hope at the bottom of the casket,
and so, amid all the faint prnise and
direct pooh pooling Of Mr.. Strakoschs plan
and selected site, we discover good many
hopeful things in the matter. The PROPOSE
ton has awakened . live and earnest discus
sion, and, if not carried out in its present
shape, will lead to good results for the future
of italian opera in New York. 1t will lead, we
feel assured, to the establishment of good
opera house where we can have the best
works interpreted in the best style. 1t may not
assume the colossal proportions given to it
in the sanguine sketch of Mr.. Strakosch, but
we shall all be indebted to that gentlemans
art enthusiasm and confidence in the cul-
tured wealth of New York if we secure but
fair proportion of the results he boldly
sketches. Objection has been made to the
site-that of Gilmore's Garden-nnd there is
perhaps some force in it There is every
probability that better site could be
secured at cheaper rate than one
fronting on Madison avenue. Along the
line of Fifth avenue between Thirty
sixth street and the Park, sites could be
found supplying all the needs as to COM
manding location and accessibility, and OF
lower cost than the block whereon stands
the old railroad depot, transmitted in sue
cession to q concert garden, circus and a
revivalist battle ground. The plan of Mr..
Strakosch reduced to its main proposition
namely, that New York needs, can
support and hence should have on
opera house, at which the best
artists should present under the most favor
able conditions of mise en- scene the flower of
all true opera, whether Italian, German,
French or English-deserves and will, we
feel certain, obtain favorable consideration.
That, after all, is what Mr.. Strakosch aims
at, and the HERALD is only too glad to give
it all the furtherance in its power. Site,
cost and size ore secondary considerations.
Assent to the main proposition once secured
the other points can be successfully decided.
