of the change in the latter production is
creditable to Sig, Arrigo Boito, the noted
librett fist, in whom Verdi found
collaboration worthy his accomplish
ments, and one whose assistance gave
inspiration to his efforts Boito is thor
oughly versed in stagecraft, and his
libretto, an adaptation from Shakes
pcare, is rich in poetic sentiment,
dramatic incident and lively action.
The work throughout is concise and
admirably balanced. In "Otello," the
tragic opera, the libretto is occasional
ly made subordinate to the music, but
in "Falstaff'' the music is made only to
embellish the poetry regardless of its
own effect The orchestration is eX-
ccllent, the charming smoothneSs and
coloring producing a delightful effect.
Musical history gives the first opera
heard in Europe as Daphne" per-
formed in 1894. 1t was at once pro-
nounced an unnatural drama and
was the object of much ridicule and
criticism from people who maintained
it absurd that the actors should sing
instead of speaking their lines. At
that time it was bold experiment to
attempt to revive in modern Europe
the Greek drama, but the Greeks" as
they were called, held their way
courageously. and in fifty years the
opera was the favorite form of music in
all European countries.

VERDI'S GREAT WORK.
"Falstaff" Is Pronounced the Com
poser's Masterpiece.
One of the "Grand Old Men" of Europe
In His Seventy-Ninth Year Now,
But as Bright and Capable
as Young Giant.

Our century has been kind to the
veterans in the various walks of life,
and poetry, science, politics, art and
music each boast their famous devotees
who have passed the septuagenarian
line. In the realm of music, the great
Italian maestro, Giuseppe Verdi, re-
Gently, and in his seventy-ninth year,
has given to the world an opera whose
brillancy of conception, masterful
force, perfect technique and richness
of popular sentiment rise above those
of his former creations 1t takes
place among the grand productions OF
time. Hadyn won renown for the pro-
duction of his Creation" and the
Seasons" when little past 60, but
since then intellectual vigor at this
age has ceased to attract wonder.
Wagner gave the world his best CON
ception when 6S; at 70 Verdi brought
out his first tragic opera, and at 20 pro-
duces comic opera which has won
universal plaudits.
The striking character of Nerdi's
"Falstatf' is the originality of both
plan and execution. The aged artist
long since master of the old school OF
musical expression, and a consistent
teacher of. its methods, has broken
away from its lines, and with all the
trenchant style, poetic fire and concen-
trated vigor of a man in the zenith OF
strength and activity leads the way
into new paths, and raises higher the
standard of musical Interpretation AT
an age when it is presumed man
ceases to develop mentally or to be
capable of the assimilation of new
ideas and methods, Verdi has shown
himself as alert intellectually and as
I'quick to master new principles ana
! popular sentiments as the most bril-
| liant of the younger school, and ne is
the acknowledged head of the modern
Italian school "Falstaff" is a comedy

There are eleven parts in the opera,

central figure of the story and is upon
