The chorus get each about1 ], 500 francs
a year, but they combine the opera with
singing in the choirs Of churches and
also of the conseryatories, and have
their special employments during the

$4,000 francs a year and the lesser lights
from 1,500 francs to 5000 francs, but
they stand tut for their status. Meyer
beer used to call them "M%essieurs les
