1t has been long, long time since
Salt Lake has seen grand opera. Next
Monday Tuesday and "Wednesday, the
hitherto hopeless prayers of the town
will be answered. The Savage English
Grand Opera company will be here. 1t
is said to be the largest organization
of the kind that can afford to travel OF
its own merits. A little peep into the
meaning of each opera may be inter
esting. 'Lohengrin," opens the en-
gagement Monday evening. 1t is one
of Wagner's masterpieces. ''Lohen-
grin" Is based on a German legend
with a double motive, the triumph of
the innocent and the test of unselfish
love. Running through the opera are
tragic threads. which make it rather a
music drama than an opera. The var
ious moods and situations as they de.
develop are expressed in music refec-
tive of the motive and action of the
piece.
Carmen" will be given Tuesday
evening and Is already familiar here.
La Boheme" will be presented We'd
nesday night. 1t is new opera, writ
ten by Puccini as recently as 1896.
AS its name indicates 1t deals with
Bohemian life-and where is it lived,
but in Paris? The story concerns the
adventures of a poet and painter,
who live in the careless, Bohemian at
mosphere of the gay city.
The music of the opera belongs to
both the French and Italian schools,
modern in treatment, and runs to beau
tiful expression in quartets, quintets
and duets. For Wednesday matinee,
Wagner's immortal "Tannhauser" will
be given. We have already heard some
of its glorious music, pilgrims cho-
rus" and Evening Star" The over
ture which precedes the opera is Wag
ner at his best-a grand concord of
sweet sounds. The story of the opera
is historical and inspirational with
touches of religion. "Tannhauser"
largely concerns the doings of way
ward minstrel knight, his adventures,
and the return of the pilgrims from a
crusading journey to Rome. The
theme-music for which Wagner is so
justly famous is one of the pleasurable
features of the opera.

William II. Turner as David
Harum" is the attraction at the Salt
Lake theatre today and tonight.
Notwithstanding this is the Lenten
season, when society is supposed to
hover demurely in quiet corners and
eschew the bright temptations of
dress, yet, last Monday evening, at the
Symphony concert there was every
where seen a smart combination of
picture hats and SNOWY shirt waists.
Society may have its retiring moods,
but, there are times, when, although
the eye be downcast, the ears are left
widely open. The audience last Mon
day evening was not only fashionable,
but, more to the point, critical and
alert 1t was fully prepared to notice
whatever musical faux pas the orches-
trail feet might make. If the musicians
had stubbed their toes against any OF
the Schubert, Gounod or Wagner num-
bers, | fancy some of the highly criti-
cal would have regarded the error as
a reward for their watchfulness.
