INTERPoLATED BALLET.
Mozart's Don Juan EnIivened for
the Parisians by Dancers.

Wagner relates in "Des Virtues und
der Kunstler" how the Parisians en-
dured performance of Mozart's Don
Juan" which obviously bored them to
death, but for which amends were made
By the trill which the great Rubini
sang.
It takes him a whole page to describe
this trill. and the frantic applause it
evoked; and he closes with these words:
The riddle was solved; 1t was to hear
this tril that the audience had gather
ed, had endured for Two long hours the
absence of all the usual operate deli
cacies. had forgiven Cfrisi and Lablache
for having given serious attention to
such music. and was now fully con-
soled for its privatiOns by that one won
derful moment when Rubini sprang UP
to the high B fiat"
Since this was written several at
tempts have been made to revive Mo-
zart's masterwOrk in Paris. but all in
vain. Concerning the latest one, a Ger
man correspondent writes that the pres
ent generation of Parisians do. indeed,
applaud the opera rapturOusly. but that
it evidently bOres them as much as
ever, and that it is easy to read in their
faces their secret annoyance at being
compelled by the etiquette of culture to
feign admiration. There is no Rubini to
make amends. but there is an inter
polated ballet, the music Of which
would have surprised Mozart 1t IS
built UP on motives from his G minor
symphony, his D minor ouartette and
his Turkish march
