The new Mascagni opera, "Ysobel,"
will be done by Liebler & Co., with
Bessie Abott and the Bessie Abott
grand opera company at the New the
ater, New York city, in November.
Liebler & Co. are making their first
essay into the realm of grand opera.
George c. Tyler, the managing direc-
tor, argues that there is no reason that
ordinary dramatic methods should not
be applied to the grand opera game.
Mascagni has staked his reputation
on his new work. If It is a success
it means affluence to the composer
for the balance of his life. The New
theater has been placed at Liebler &
Co.'s disposal for the New York pre-
miere. The book of the new opera has
been written by Luigi Illica, author of
the texts of LA Boheme." La Tosca"
and Madam Butterfly" Illica has
gone to English history for his theme.
The story is modelled upon the famous
ride of Lady Godlva through the
streets of Coventry.
Miss Bessie Abott will create the
title role in the only grand opera to
have its premiere in the United States.
She is a New York girl who has won
favor on the continent. Her voice is
said to be brilliant one, and she is
Mascagnis choice for what he believes
to be the crowning work of his life.
The first production Of "YsobeP' is
slated for November 21, and imme-
diately after the New York engage
ment there will be an American tour,
which probably will be extended to in
clude Havana and the City of Mexico.
The local presentation will be in the
Auditorium early in April
Bernice de Pasquali, who will ap-
pear in this city in joint recital with
Signor Scotti as the first artists in the
Philharmonic course, said after her
Metropolitan debut:
"How glad l am to be among my
countrymen again and how glad I am
to know that my great success last
evening pleased them"
Few in the audiencegconnected the
name of de Pasquali with that of Ber-
nice James, the girl who, three years
before. had gone abroad to finish her
of that debut belonged to none other
than Miss RerDice IannaS VhO had in
