When travelling over the country with

As a composer, Mr.. Damrosch has writ

MUSIC AND THE STAGE.

Mr.. Damrosch proceeded to explain his
interesting musical attitude thus:
y have been in opera for thirteen years

corner Of it-sraging. costuming and so on.

who is still in the thick OF operate work
and achieving deserved success IN It, con-
fded 10 me at dinner last year that ne
would like nothing better than 10 give up
operate conducting for purely orchestral
work
= feel that hampering condition in opera
because each art not only has its own mis-
sion TO perform, but seeks to express It
self in its own way. and this is impossible
upon the stage. Wagner dreamed that IN

theory is II does not work out altogether

therefore can inclte our imagination TO
picture actual things or ideal conceptions
far more wildly and more truly than any
stage representation. No matter how clever
the stage mechanism may be- we soon See
that il is only an illusion, and whether It
is the Rainbow in 'Rheingold' or the Ride
Of the VaIkyries or the dragon fight in
'Siegfried the stage representation viii

tral work"
Does this objection hold against the
Bayreuth performances
yes. 7 saw the first three perform
ances Of ParstfaI' superintendent by Wag-
ner himself at Bayreuth. The first time it
was marvellous. After that I saw the
loose wigs that the boy choristers wore
and other things that destroyed the iIu-
sion In 1894 I brought over TO this coun-
try for the first time the finest Viennese
scenery for my own performances Of the
Wagner dramas. There is no scenery or
costuming sufficiently fine 10 it the music.
Opera VIII always be the most popular
musical entertainment. but a large part Of
the public will ask for the music Of opera
without any stage accompaniment. For
myself 7 get the greatest pleasure out Of
Wagner by taking the score in an arm

music without any impediments, and I
really see the gods and goddesses who

In his maturity Though he is only forty
