"PARSIFAL" PRESENTED.
Triumphant and Sumptuous Perform
ance in New York Last Night.

A dispatch from New York last night re-
counts the successful presentation of Par
sifal," Richard Wagner's sacred music
drama or dedicatorial festival play. 1t was
produced at the Metropolitan Opera House
before an immense audience. despite the
legal complications, small storm of pull
pit protest and some practical difficulties.
The production takes rank not only as the
most sensational event in American oper-
attic history, but it has a worldwide i'm
portance as the first public performance of
the much drama out of Baireuth,
and as a serious blow aimed at the So
called "Baireuth monopoly" which Par
sifal'' by it's restriction to that stage. has
largely created and maintained for the
Wagner heirs.
To give the work has meant the COM
plete rebuilding of the Metropolitan stage,
the purchase of most elaborate mechani-
cal appliances. and lighting apparatus, and
a rahsacking Of the musical centers OF
Europe to secure a corps of experts for
every department. competent to direct the
details of the drama as 1t Is given in
Baireuth.
The results as summed up In the per-
Torrance amount to a signal triumph for
Director Conreid. In the opinion Of every

probation
That it should have failed somewhat to
produce in full measure the profound i'm
preston which accompanies its perform
ance abroad may be accounted for by the
conspicuous lack on busy Broadway of that
atmosphere which belongs peculiarly to
the quiet little town In the Bavarian hills.
This was to be expected although every
care was taken to realize Baireuth con-
ditions in the theater itself.
1t is safe to say that no such huge au-
dience has ever been compressed within the
four walls of the Metropolitan Opera House.
