Wagner once again occupies the first place in
the list Of composers whose operas have been
performed in Germany. There were, from Au-
gust ], 1903, to July 81, 1904, 1,523 Wagner per-
forrnances-or about four every day. Curiously
enough. next TO him comes Verdi. but with less
than half that number OF performances-714
Lortzng comes next with 671, and Mozart
fourth. with 452 Weber LIS 345 TO his credit
and Bizet 303. Gounod 23i. Leoncavallo 1876
Saint-Saens 10, Gluck 80, Siegfried Wagner IA
and Weingartner l. The most popular comic
formances; Offenbach has 229 and Sidney Jones
l3S performances. "LOhengrin" was DlaVed 3l1
times. 'Tannhauser'' 2S6 times and Die Fielder
maus" 436 times Though Wagner is far ahead
OF Strauss, that work beats the most popular
Of Wagner's works handsomely.
