$50 ARsIFAL" will be presented in
English at the Metropolitan
opera house March %, "a and
25, and at Saturday matinee by Hen
ry w. Savage's organization.
Mr.. Savage regards this as the nota-
BILE achievement of his career, and he
has been planning it for a year. The
venture is ut to be COMPOUNDED with
his presentation of grand opera in
English. The production at hand in
most respects is the biggest that ever
left New York city, An orchestra of
sixty is needed and the company num-
bers 1876 other individuals. To trans
port all these persons, as well as the
scenery, properties and wardrobe, a
special of twelve cars is required.
Without going into minute details,
some of the difficulties of the road pro-
duction of "Parsifal" may be interest
ing. The lighting effects have been
pronounced the most striking feature.
The company carries its own foot
lights, border lights, striplights and 2
switchboard which is ten feet long and
weighs 1000 pounds. A small army of
men is needed ito work the show" from
the sides of the stage and the fly gal
leries.
The story of the play involves a
transformation scene in which ParSi-
fal turns a magic flower garden into a
stony desert. This one scene is a tri-
umph in stagecraft. Again, ParsifaPs
walk through the woods surrounding
the Grail castle involves the operation
of a panorama in which some hundreds
of feet of scenery are adroitly passed
before the audience and wound upon
cylinders, disclosing the impressive
Grail chapel, where the glorification of
the sacred vessel from which Christ
drank at the last supper is held Those
who are even only slightly sentimental
in religious matters cannot but be deep
~ stirred by the beauty of this scene
and the majesty of the music.
In making his early plans for Par
sifal" Mr.. Savage had to figure on the
engagement of three casts casts. Par
sifal," which is described technically
as music drama, so far differs from
grand opera that even Wagnerian eX-
perience has not wholly equipped the
singers who have the principal roles.
These were selected from companies
In various European capitals, Mr. Pen
narini's engagement, for instance, hav-
ing been effected with the greatest diff
hculty. He has been loaned" to Mr.
Savage for one season. All of these
singers made trips to Bayfeuth to
study the production there and all of
them of foreign birth took special
courses in English intonation
One detail of the artistic side of the
venture which may be said to excel
that in any previous production is the
singing of the flower maidens OF
these, six have solo parts, not of ma
terial length, but of difficulty and i'm
portance. Three of these soloists have
been leading women in big musical or
ganizations-Miss Florence Wickham,
Miss Pearl GuZman, of last seasons
eastern Prince of Pilsen" company,
and Miss Celeste Wynne, prima donna
of The Runaway Girl" Twelve hun
dred singers were passed upon the re-
manning positions among the flower
maidenS. This number was finally
sifted to fifty by the most rigid sys-
tenn. AT that point the choice resolved

itself into a question of looks, the mu-
steal directors having said that there
was nothing further to choose from in
the matter of voice and ability.
''Parsifal' is in three acts and re-
quires four hours for the presenta-
ton. That the musicians, singers, and,
above all, the public may not be unduly
taxed, a long intermission is given after
the first act. The first curtain rises at
$3.50 o'clock and the act is concluded
at 7:15 o'clock. There is then an in
PERMISSION of l hour 10 minutes for
dinner and also an intermission of
20 minutes following the second act
and the performance is concluded at
10: rs. Immediately preceding the rise
of the curtain on each act a squad of
trumpeters win play in the lobby on
of the principal motifs of the play.
1t has come to be part of the ethics of
"Parsifal" that there shall be no APP
plause. This restriction was very Wig
orously insisted upon in Bayreuth and
has been readily accepted in this coun-
try as entirely proper.
The principal singers - "Parsifar'
include Nine. Kirkby Lunn nf "a Roy
al opera, Covent garden, Mime. Hanna
Mara, who for the last several years
has been the principal soprano at Bres-
lau and Miss Florence Wickham, who

American girl, who has won fame
abroad in a short time having sung
with success in -Wiesbaden and Munich.
she is a native of Beaver, Pa, and her

For the men Mr.. Savage has such
artists as Alois Pennarini, principal
tenor of the Hamburg opera; Francis

sung with much success in England:
Christian de Voss, principal tenor of
the Royal Netherlands opera, Amster-

either il will be necessary to put on
evening clothes. before 6 o'clock, the
.'our which custom has set for such
d. Sss in this country, or to dress be-
tween the first and second acts, in adj
dftion to dining, which is a rather diff
cult proposition.
In Boston and New York 1t was re-
garded as quite the proper thing to
wear evening clothes throughout the
whole performance, even If a tradition
was violated by so doing. A precedent
was established for this in 1898 in Lon
don, when at Covent Garden, perform
ances of Wagner'S Ring were given
without cuts. There performances be-
gan at 4:30 o'clock in the afternoon,
ana great was the puzZlement Of Lon
don society to know what - do. The
cue was given by no less person than
queen Alexandra, who was then the
princess of Wales. She had il Off
Sioiiy dhhounceu IN the court journal
that ii would be not only proper, but
necessary for all those attending these
performances to go in evening dress.
AT the first performance the prince
and princess of Wales were driven
through London at AIS o'clock in the
afternoon of a June day in full even
ing dress, and London had the unique
experience of seeing all the leaders of
society go through the streets in broad
daylight similarly attired. Only when
the late Queen Victoria gave her
morning drawing rooms were such
scenes possible in L. ndon, but the
precedent made then has zen observ-

ed ever since and has been followed
in this country with much success.
The Legends of "ParsifaIp
Wagner first became acquainted
with the legends of ''Parsifal' in the
studies he made for his ''Tannhauser."
Then he came to know Wolfram Won
Eschenbach, the greatest of the Ger
man medieval poets who, as all who
know "Tannhauser" remember, is one
of the principal characters of that
opera. Later when he began his
'Lohengrin," he became acquainted
with the works of Chretien of Troyes,
contemporary of Wolfram. From
Wolfram's '.Parzival'' and from Chre-
ITEMS "Conte del Grael' Wagner drew
most of his material for his music
drama.
Intensely romantic, full of the rich
fmaginings of the fertile medieval
mind, the legend contained all the ele-
ments necessary TO WagnerS scheme
of music drama and could easily be
made to serve as a vehicle for his
philosophic ideas The beginning of
the legend is lost in the mists of an
tfqulty. The story in its main fea-
lures is a development of the most an
cient myths of the Indo- European
race, being one of the beautiful
branches which have grown from the
hoary tree of primitive religious be-
lief
In its literary form it is difficult to
trace il back Of the twelfth century,
when, like Athene, it sprang full grown
from the spirit of the age. There is no
more fascinating subject than the
wonderful burst of literary work which
came almost simultaneously 10 all
western Europe in the last half of the
twelfth century and the first half of
tie thirteenth. 1t was, as ii were. the
rnnSf gracious and ho.rrfifn1 Of
the crusades, which had opened the
eyes of the rude westerners to the OPP
ulence and beauty of the orient, its
music, its poetry and its art.
