WAGNER OPERA AT ITS BEST
Tristan und Isolde = Pleases Large
Audience at Metropolitan

A suggestion might bc in order 10 those
who believe Puccini sine qua non for all
sclf-respectlng opera houses, the sugges-
ton that they attend at the Metropolitan
a performance OF Wagner Tristan una
Isolde" There was such performance
last night. the third OF the season, and an
audience Of splendid size was present.
There were. Il IL true, no bravos catapulted
from behind the rails. but this argued
rather a sustaining than a lack OF interest.
The Isolde was Nine. Gadski who sang
the part for the first time this season. and
sang II effectively. Mr. Burrian is appar-
emily our only Tristan, and though his APP
pearance is not that OF the ideal Celtic
hero. much can be forgiven to man who
phrases the music OF the love duet as he
uhragcd il last night Nine. MatZenauer
as Rrangaena. Mr.. We'll AZ kurwenal. Mr..
GrisVold as King Mark and Mr. Hinshaw
ps Nclot all added TO the excellent en-
semblc. while Mr. Murphy's fresh voice
was most pleasing as the Stlmme des
Seeman5.
Mr. Toscanini's understanding OF Wag-
ner's great love epic and the expression he
draws forth from his orchestra are by this
,ino TOO well known to require renewed
comment Ills is a performance Of the
s,nremest beauty. equally Informed with
nassion and instinct with tragedy. a per-
,ormancc once heard never to be forgotten.
