Wotan summons her and announces his
changed decision. Siegmund must per-

the rocks, Brunnhilde falls into deep de-

this, that faithless the faithful must fail
thee?' AS she enters a cave for her
horse the fugtiveS, Siegmund and Sieg-

Infatuated Hunding. They stop to rest,
and Sieglinde falls exhausted in his

wildly portrayed in the instrumental

performed. 1t is now known as ''The
Partisan Bacchanale." 1t is followed
by voluptuouS scene between Tam
hauser and Venus, q long dialogue,
during which the hero, Selling his
harp, trolls out a song, the theme of
which has already been given out by
the overture; expressing his WEAKNESS
of her companionship. The second
scene transports us to valley, above
which towers the castle Of Wartburg
A young shepherd, perched upon a
rock, sings a pastoral invocation to
Holda, the strains of his pipe weaving
about the stately chorus of the elder
pilgrims as they come along the mount
ain paths of the castle. The scene,
which is one Of great beauty, closes
with the lament of Tannhauser inter-
mingled with the receding song of the
pilgrims, the ringing of church bells
in the distance and the merry notes of
hunters horns as the Landgrave and
his followers approach. The meeting
with Tannhauser leads to an express
sive septette, in which Wolfram has a
very impressive solo.
The second act opens in the sing
ers' hall at Wartburg. Elizabeth, en-
tering joyfully, greets it in a recita-
ton, if we may 50 term 1t, which is
characterized by a Joyous but digni-
fed dramatic appeal, recalling the
scenes of her youth. The interview be-
tween Tannhauser and Elizabeth,
which follows, gives rise to long
dialogue, closing with the union Of the
two voices in a charming duet, Gee
priesen sci die Macht." Then follows
the grand march and chorus, ''Freu-
Zig begrusses wir die edle Halle" an
nouncing the beginning Of the song con-
test. The stirring rhythm and bold,
| broad outlines Of this march are so well
known that it is needless to dwell upon
it. The scene of the contest Is declam-
atory throughout, and full Of ANNA
| ton and spirit, its most salient points
being the hymn of Wolfram in honor
| of ideal love, and Elizabeth's appeal
| to the knight to spare Tannhauser,
which leads UP to a spirited septette
and choral ensemble, closing the act.
| In the third act we are once more in
| the valley of the Wartburg. After a
/ plaaltive song by Wolfram, the chorus
OF the returning pilgrims is heard in
the distance, working up to a magnif-
cent crescendo as they approach and
cross the stage. Elizabeth, who has
been earnestly watching them to find ii
Tannhauser be Of their number, disap-

mentions the name of Elizabeth, when
the sirens vanish and their spells lose
their attraction. A funeral procession
approaches in the distance, and on the
bier is the form of the sanity Eliza

due to her treason. To horse, then. Let

ing his steed he disappears amid thun-
der and lightning.
The last act opens in a rocky glen filled
with the Valkyres calling to each other from
summit to summit with wild cries as they
come riding through the clouds after the com
bat bearing the dead bodies of the warriors
On their saddles. The scene is precluded
with an orchestral number well known in the
concert room as the ride of the Valkyres,"
which is based upon two motives, the Val
kyre's call and the Valkyre melody. In pict-
uresque description of the ruch and dash of
steeds, amid which heard the wild cries
Of the sisters, 1.-THE Ride" is one Of the most
powerful numbers ever written. Brunnhlde
arrives among the eXultant throng in tears
bearing Sleglinde in her arms. She gives
her the fragments Of Segmunds sword and
appeals to the other Valkyres to save her.
She bids Sieglinde live, for "Thou art to give
birth to Volsung," and to keep the fragments
OF the sword. He that once brandishes the
sword, newly welded let him be named Sieg-
fried. the winner of victory" Wotan's voice
is now heard angrily shouting through the
storm clouds and calling upon Brunnhilde
who vafnly seeks to conceal herself among
her sisters. He summons her forth from the
group, anu she COHleS forward meekly but
firmly, and awaits her punishment He taxes
her with violating his commands to which
she replies. II obeyed not thy order, but thy
secret wish The answer does not avail
and he condemns her to sleep by the way
side, the victim Of the first who passes She
passionately pleads for protection against dis
honor, and the god consents. Placing her
upon rocky couch and kissing her brow, he
takes his farewell Of her in scene which
for majestic pstbos has never been excelled
One forgets Wotan and the Valkyre IT is
the last parting of an earthly father and
daughter. illustrated with music which is
the very apotheosis of grief. He then con-
jures Loge, the god of fire, and as he strikes
his spear upon the rock flames spring UP all
about her. Proudly he sings in the midst of
the glare a melody which Is to form the mo-
tive of the hero Siegfried in the next division
of the work. and the curtain falls upon A.
scene which for power beauty and majesty
has not its equal on tie lyric stage.

The recognition is mutual, not alone of
brother and sister, but of lover and
mistress-the union which is destined
to beget Siegfried, the hero. Selling
her in his arms, Siegmund disappears
with her into the depths of the forest,
and the curtain falls.
The second act opens in the mountains
of the gods, and discloses Wotan. with
spear in hand, in earnest converse with
Brunnhilde, his daughter. who is ar
rayed in the armor of a Valkyr. He
tells her Of the approaching combat,
and bids her award the victory to Sieg-
mund the Volsung, beloved of the gods.
AS she disappears among the rocks,
shouting the weird cry of Valkyres, the
jealous Frcka, protector of marriage
vows, comes upon the scene in chariot
drawn by rams. A stormy dialogue oc-
ours between them, Fricka demanding
the death Of Siegmund as compensation
for the wrong done to Hunding. Wotan
at last is overcome, and consents that
the Valkyres shall conduct him to Wal
halla. AS he yields, Brunnhilde's jubil-
ant song is heard on the heights, and

husband is in the prison, has obtained
employment of Rocco. disguised as the
young man F'idelio.
The opera opens with a charming,
playful love scene between Jacquino
and MarceIlina, whom the former is
teasing to marry him. She puts him
off, and as he sorroWfully departs sings
the Hope aria, Die Hoffnung,"
fresh, smoothly flowing melody, in
which she pictures the delight of
life with Fidelio. At it's close Rocco
enters with the respondent Jacquino,
shortly followed by Fidelio, who is
very much fatigued. Rocco promises
Marcellina's hand to Fidelio as the re-
ward of her fidelity. In the next scene
a packet of letters is delivered, one of
which informs him that Don Fernando
is coming the next day to inspect the
prison, as he has been informed that
it contains several victims of arbi-
trary power. He at once determines
that Florestan shall die. Fidelio has
overheard the scheme, and, as they
disappear, rushes forward and sings
the great aria, "Abscheulicher," one
of the grandeSt and most impaSSioned
illustrations of dramatic intensity in
the whole realm Of music. The reci-
tative expresses intense horror at the
intended murder, then subsidies into
piteous sorrow, and at last breaks
out into the glorious adagio, "Komm
Hoffnung," in which she sings of the
immortal power of love. The last
scene of the act introduces the strong
chorus of the prisoners as they come
out in the yard for air and sunlight,
after which Rocco relates to Fidelio his
interview with Don Pizarro The lat
ter orders the jailer to return the pris-
oners to their dungeons and go on with
