though subsidized, they were producing
foreign instead of French works, re-
Gently drew up a list by which they
showed that during the past twenty
years they had mounted thirty-e1ght
operas by Frenchmen and only six for
eignerS, the two outsiders being Wag-
ner and Verdi. NJ. Maurel-the Partisan
critic, not the eminent baritone-has
now carried the statistics back to the
beginning of the century. 1t seems that
the last generation of F'renchmen were
not so particular as to the nationality
of musicians. From the year 1900 down
to the present time the Paris grand
opera has produced works by 100
French and 50 foreign composers. On
the other hand, it appears that only
1894 performances of French operas
have during this period been given,
against S,149 representations of works
by foreign musicians. The French wri-
ter laments that his compatriots pre-
ferred foreign works; although in fair
ness it should be said that the list prob
ably includes the operas of Meyerbeer,
Rossini and other great masters of a
previous generation, who, although not
French by birth, were practically Pari-
sian by adoption.
