America have there been such scenes
as marked the farewell of Nine. Sem
brich as member of the Metropolitan
Opera company The prima donna was
honored at the conclusion of her twen-
ty-five years OF triumphant service in a
way that made the occasion the sensa-
tional feature of the musical season.
Her decision to relinquish her position
at time when her marvellous powers
We're at there best was sad news to
her thousands Of admirers, and all rose
to pay her homage.
When the time for parting came, a
series Of functions expressed the adj
miration OF the singers associates and
friends in the highest social, literary
and artistic circles; but the great tri-
butte came on the night Of the operate
farewell, when the Metropolitan Opera
house, packed to its capacity, rever-
berated with the cheers OF the public.
Referring to the event, H. E. Krehbiel,
the critic OF The Tribune, wrote:
The operahouse never held such o
gathering before. It included delega-
tons of her admirers from those who
sit in seats of comfort and conspicu-
BUSINESS to the more obscure but no less
sincere thousands who for years have
taken their unequalled examples OF III
bel canto' from the dizzy heights OF
the family circle. There was a thunder
Of applause when Nine. Sembrich was
led on the stage by Mr.. Gatti -Casazza.
After describing the gifts showered
upon the prima donna, and the plaudits
that followed their presentation, Mr..
Krehbiel quotes from the singers
speech of acknowledgement, which con-
cIuded:
i so away happy because I shall al
ways remember your goodness; but II
go away sad because / shall not look
into your faces again over these foot
lights. hope that you will always
keep place in your hearts for Mar
celia Sembrich. Once more. / thank
you. and say, not goodbye, bur an
revoir."
Nine. Sembrich's farewell to her pro-
fessional career will come at the con-
clusion of her transcontinental concert
tour. Whatever sadness that thought
may occasion is softened in a measure
by the prospect Of hearing her once
more In recital--the field In which her
laurels have been no less surely won
than on the operate stage. Her coma
ing to Fargo will be an artistic and So
cial event long to be remembered by all
lovers OF music.
