teDruHry l, With Bessie Abott as G1lda
The first representation Of Don Giovanni IN
New-York was due to the presence in the city
OF Lorenzo da Ponte. the author Of the book
when the first italian opera company that the
city ever heard came here in 1925. It was the
Garcia company. which came from London.
Garcia does not seem to have contemplated
production of the opera when he came, though
he had in his company the original London rep
resentative Of Nasetto and the commentators
and Dominica Crivelr, a son of the original Lon
don Don Ottavio But this Creveln was only a
second tenor and too poor singer to be In
trusted with the difficult airs Of the part. Garcia
himself. though a tenor, had sung the part Of
Don Giovanni in London and Paris following an
example set by TacchinardI in Paris in 1SlD,
and his wife, daughter and son. all of whom
were in his company, could be relied on to do
their tasks satisfactorily. A tenor had to be
secured, however, and one found in
Frenchnan named Milon, who has not yet been
identified, but was probably q violoncello player
who afterward figured in the history Of the
Philharmonic Society. Castil-Blaze, in his Mo
Iiere Musicien" relates of the first performa~ e
in New York that everything went wrong at e
conclusion of the first finale, whereupon Gan l.
