"CayalIeria Rusticana. d"

Cavalier ScOvel is trying to secure Mas
cagnPs marvellous one-act opera with this
tile for production in London. The New
York Truth says on this subject: ut would
be very curious if Mr.. Abbey did not at
tempt to produce 'Cavalleria Rusticana
during the coming season. European tour
lists state that it is the greatest operate sem
sation Europe has had for some time. It's
success defes description. The opera is
now being produced in all the European
capitals, WITH the exception OF Paris and
London, and everywhere monopolfzes the
repertoire. 1t was originally written as
two-act opera, but when Mascagni, the COM
poser, entered the prize competition for the
best One-act opera dedicated by the publish
ing firm Sonzogno, somebody advised him
not to drop the curtain during the acts and
have the orchestra play in intermeZz0. Mas
cagni consented, and hurriedly wrote an in-
termeZzo. This inermezzo is said To he the
most wonderful thing in the opera and
always ar0uses the widest enthusiasm"
Later advices say the young composer has
had setback, and the prospect of his sue
ceediug Verdi in the lyric world is not so
