THE MANHATTAN OPERA
HOUSE.
By Oscar Hammerssein.

The establishment of my Manhattan Opera
House has done to further the interests OF
musical art than any ether institution since the
opera is eminentIy educational: but 1t must be
grand opera-grand in every respect as to the
star artists the orchestra the chorus and the
mise-en- scene. have endeavored to awaken.
New York to realization of how grand opera
should be given and have ventured to go out
side the beaten tracks, to desert the treadmin
of the hackneyed, time repertory which
has been dealt out to New Yorkers for decades
and give music lovers and music students an
opportunity of hearing the most modern works
by the most famous modern composers sung by
artists of worldwide reputation.

The great French barytone, Maurice Renaud

again will be NJ Gilbert, who made such an
impression as the father in Louise; Nj. Du-

cannot be surpassed; M. SammarcO always a

what a galaxy! And when they are directed by
a conductor so versatile, brilliant and exacting
as Campanini, supported by orchestra of
ninety and a chorus of hundred and fifty
fresh notes.-the women all Americans and the
men largely so-what artistic triumphs may the
student of music not expect!
may add that my list of artists includes, in
addition four dramatic sopranos, three other
contraltos, four more barytones and five new
tenors and every one of these newcomers may
be regarded as a discovery. Their engagement
is the result of a careful search the wide world
over for new artistic material

quale Amato and Eduard Missiano from Milan.
The list of bassos win be strengthened by the
engagement of Allen Hinckley. Adamo Didur,
Herbert Waterous, Paul Ananian. Emo Boz
zano and Herbert Witherspoon.
In addition to the distinguished conductors
Gustav Mailer and Alfred Hertz. We have been
fortunate in securing the services of Arturo
Toscanini, of La Scala, in Milan. He is the
foremost conductors in Italy, and he is equally
at home in the works of the Italian, as well as
the German and French schools Francesca
Spetrino, who has been the leading conductor
of the Italian repertory at the Imperial Opera in
Vienna has also been engaged, and he will share
the direction of the Italian and French operas
with the other conductors
The orchestra will be improved by the engage
ment of $50 of the best musicians. This will
give US a larger orchestra than is usually
ployed in any European opera house.
Two choruses have been engaged. One Of
them will be used for the Italian and French
operas while the other will confine its activities
solely to the works of the German repertory.
In addition to this, the management has
opened a new chorus school. The pupils will
receive free tuition during evening hours in
chorus singing sight reading and languages.
The course of instruction will be of two years
duration, and graduates of the school will be
gagged to sing in the regular chorus of the Met
ropolitan Opera House.
A pension and endowment fund has been
ganized for the benefit the members of the
orchestra and chorus and the artists engaged to
sing the minor roles. The board of directors,
as well as the managers of the Metropolitan
Opera Company believes that such fund will
help to establish a permanent and perfect en-
