Music and Musicians

The extraordinary success of the Metro

bring grand opera within the reach OF the
masses.
In commenting on this increased supply
Of grand opera. one Gotham paper says
that that city now leads the world in the
highest field OF lyric entertainment as
not even with Government subsidy
does q European capital seek to MAIN
tain two great houses of grand opera
This is an amusing error, A glance at
the Exchanges" from European capitals
would disabuse our contemporary of this
notion. Paris has the Opera and the Op-
era Comique, and the latter produces
works as grand as Carmen" Faust"
etc, st. Petersburg has two grand opera
houses. and a third one In which opera
is allowed to alternate with dramatic en-
tertaInment. The same Is true OF other
European capitals.
A fact 1t Will do New York good to
keep In mind is that grand opera is sup
ported there largely, of not chiefly by
strangers and visitors. The hotels alone

which Nordica IS to be the leading star,
