The London Times" declares that it
speaks we'll for the taste of the British
public that Isidore de Laras opera
"Messaline" did not repeat the success
de scandale which it had in Monte
Carlo. All the critics deplore the fact
that the composer, who doubtless has
talent, should have followed the young
Italians in choosing story of brutaf
sensuality unrelieved by any touch of
honest love. The Telegraph" explains
that formerly all the librettist had to
do was to write a book that should pro-
vide situations which would justify
elaborate Scenas, the words Of which
were regarded as pegs whereupon to
hang effective musical phrases and
roulades. The modern composer, how
ever, is expected to imbue himself with
the spirit of the subject he treats, and
his music must be a faithful reflection
OF the inner meaning of the libretto-so
to speak, to express it's very heartbeats.
Hence, a sordid subject is now far
more detrimental to the composer than
