The Royal Opera House and Theatre
in Stuttgart, Wortemburg, Germany, was
burned to the ground a few days ago.
While no lives We're lost, the members of
the companies suffered heavily in dam
age to personal property. Performances
are being given temporarily in the VIII
helma Theatre, which is also under royal
jurisdiction. 1t is doubtful whether the
crown will rebuild on the site of the old
institution. Although splendidIy situat-
ed in the most central part of the town,
and very conveniently arranged for the
King and court, being connected with the
palace by a covered passageway. it is dan
gerously near the palace, and the sparks
from a fire might cause serious trouble
If the palace should catch fire, as it
contains many and valuable unique treas
ures.s
Since the death of Verdi. his operas
have come more and more to the front
in italy, where they are gradually dis
placing the ephemeral products Of the

cities-Naples, Rome and Milan-opened
their season with Wagner opesas. These.
however, are usually SO badly sung that
the audiences get but shadoWy ideas Of
