Don Giovanni" which has been revived
recently at the Opera in Paris. was first sung
there at the Theatre des Italiens on Oct. IL,
1911. and was first sung at the Opera in 1884.
The small number of times it has been given
in Paris has often been the subject OF COM
ment. 1t was a failure on the first production
at the Opera, and the director. at that time,
attributes to the fact that it was unsuited
to such a large stage the failure to
attract audiences. Tho highest point Of the
operas success in Paris came in 1855, when it
was sung simultaneously at the Opera. the
des Italiens and the. Theatre LyriQue. |
