MAGNETS OPERAS.


mitted by telegraph that Wsgner's
opera. the Flying Du.chmap, had been
performed in New York, and that great
success had been obtained. This per-
torrance marks new era nthe musical
world of this country, and now that the
initiatory step has been taken towards
the production of music of the very
highest style. it is to be hoped that both
Wagner and Mozart will become as
popular in the New World as they are
already in the Old. And yet it is o
difficult task to produce the Flying
d utchman, Lohengrin, Tanhauser or any
other opera which Wagner has written
outside of, Germany itself. Wagner is
poet as well as a musician. In this
respect he differs from Mozart and Shu-
man, and has a superiority over both i.
The music in Mozart's operas is of the
most artistic and beautiful kind. but the
story of the opera is sadly wanting in
poetry; it is very often trash of the most
lovesick kind. But with Wagner the case
is different. He writes his own words !;
he embodi es beautiful story in the
same; he adapts his music to the case in
hand. No more beautiful poem has
ever been written than Lohepgrin, but
every word therein used is selected ac-
cording to the tone in which it is to be
given. and substitute in measure
spoi!s the effect which is intended. Thus
it is also with the dramas of Shakespeare.
Translate them into German and the
effect in a measure is gone. "To be or
not to be" is Shaksperian and poetical.
but .'sein oder NIGHT sein." has differ
ent sound entirely. So when an opera
of Wagner is turned into English, the
words are changed and the original effect
is in q great measure lost. tits the same
music for the orchestra, but it is not the
same song for the singers. Then since
the true excellence of such an opera can
only be appreciated when given in the
original tongue, there is another draw
back in America in that no troupe pos
sesses number of stars equal to the ex-
igencies of the occasion. Our very best
troupes. such as that of Strakosc b and
that of Kellogg. are conferred in few
stars such as Nilsson, Campanini or
Kellogg herself, and while they are
supreme in their way, yet they can not
perform one of Wagner's operas them
selves. There must be a score of stars
in all, the entire company must be well
versed in the art or the attempt at sue
cess must signally. fail. In Flotow's
Martha the main excellence of the piece
is centered in very few characters, and
if these be given by artists of merit.
then the opera is success. But not sc
with the productions of Wagner. They
are one series of solos and choruses from
the beginning to the end; multiplicity
of characters is included in the whole,
and unless each Fart is given in harmony
with the rest. then very shabby ap-
plause will be heard. Hitherto Wagner
has been a comparative stranger in the
operate world of America; his pieces
v re too difficult and general for success
full production. but now that the intro
duction has been given. that the Flying
Dutchman has been performed, greater
in the future is augured
and higher culture in the musical art
in general.
