Francisco primarily. and the managers
were guided by years of previous ex-
perience and exact knowledge of con-
ditions upon this coast. 1t contains thirty
famous principals, chorus of forty, an
orchestra of forty and ballot of twelve.
The :. management of the Auditorium
feels assured that in presenting this COM
pany it is Offering one of the finest ag
gregations OF Italian singers ever assem-
bled in the United States-a grand opera
combany, in a word which does not make
a caricature of the name.
Great pains was taken in selecting the
principals to choose men and women dis
tinguished for their vocal abilities, but
practically unknown to this country.
Thus artistic excellence has been secured,
combined with novelty and much specu-
lative personal interest.
The rank md file of the company was
carefully looked after. The selection of one
cast of good principals and second cast
of totally inferior people was scrupulously
avoided. Instead of the one good cast
common to visiting operas the new or
ganization has no less than three COM
plete casts, with number of supple
mentary singers who are available for
roles at any moment.
In forming the company the final assist
ance of the three greatest living Italian
omposers-Mascagni, Puccini and Leon
cavallo--was secured. Each has "a per-
sonal representative in the organization,
Mascagni being recalled by his intimate
friend and pupil" Agide Jacchia, princi-
pal director; Puccini by Alessandro Ar
candeli, whom he deems the greatest of
the Scarpias, and Leoncavallo by the
beautiful young dramatic soprano, Ester
Ferrabini, whom he brought to the United
States as his principal soprano during his
last years orchestral tour.
The general excellence of the company
may be fully appreciated when it is
understood that it will take the entire
three performances of the first week to
demonstrate the talents of even the prin-
cipal solo artists.
If we are to believe the rather caustic
music critics of San Francisco, the pro-
duction of Aida" by this company is a
splendid achievement Lucia" an unpar-
alelled lyric triumph and '"Tosca" SEN
sation in true dramatic art.
The cast for the opening performance
is as follows: Aida. Marie Gonzales;
Radames, Chew. Francesca Signorini;
Amonasro, Giuseppe Pimozzoni; Amneris
Renata Pezzati; Ramphis, Paolo Wul-
man; king of Egypt, Artidore Mauceri.
Chev. Francesca Signorini is one Of the
foremost dramatic tenors in Europe. His
great trimuphs in such parts as Radames,
Otello, William Tell, Manrico and similar
roles have made history. Indeed, since
the death of Tamagno and the retirement
of Van Dyck, he has been accounted as
one of the foremost Italian dramatic
tenors. His voice Is ringing robust
tenor of great power and smoothness
Signor Pimozzoni brought the house
down at his first San Francisco appear

the concert stage, the percentage Of truly
good voices is always small Sometimes
out of dozen that / hear there Will

lean girls lack patience; they expect to
achieve fame before they are ready to
