THE following extract from Dresden letter
by an Englishman to the London Musical
World is good: "A dreadful thing is happen
ing in Dresden, an d indeed, the court theaters
all over Germany are suffering from the same
complaint. No, it is not Influenza; that is but
an episode. Its name is Wagner. That obnox-
ious genius has taken possession of all the
nnlv works which
bring full houses. l am not romancIng-I am
speaking the sober truth. In Dresden the
problem is daily becoming more serious.
When Wagner is not played the theater is
empty; the moment Wagner drama is put up
svery seat is sold. This is a grave situation.
You can't go on playing Wagner every night,
yet the public will come to nothing else. The
public themselves write letters to the papers
expostulating with themselves for staying away
from such masterpieces as The Prophet The
The Trumpeter,' etc., but they
stay away all the same"
