A grand opera salary is not what
it seems to be.
Let us say that a soprano or con-
tralto receives 81 900 performance.
That is, perhaps, the average figure
for star. The few very great ones
get more; others receive less, down to
$400 or $500 a night.
But let us take the case of a tWo-
man who has worked her way up to
the figure named. Forty perform
ances a season is the usual number.
That completes contract. The sin
ger may not appear in concert during
the season without special permits
sion, and that is seldom asked.
So the star receives, we will say,
$4,000 for the American season of
five months. A lot of money, yes.
Now let us see where it has to go.
Living expenses, $500 week. An
opera star has to keep up appear
ances. She must have a costly apart
ment, servants, personal maids, flow
ers;. she must entertain; she must
spend. The sum named, about $4,000
for the season, is by no means I'M
usual.
Subscriptions to charities at least

evening that he sings, and that stars
of lesser magnitude get from $500 to.
$4,000 a night. -
Yes, the grand opera singers do get
big money. Some of them do take
tidy little sums home with them;
But nothing like what Miss IIusic
Student imagines.
Did it ever strike you that it costs
money to sing in grand opera? It
does. Only a portion of that big
salary belongs to the singer. The
rest belongs towel, read what a
woman who sang in grand opera
more than ten years has to say She
is now in vaudeville. She does not
get so much salary, but what she
does get is pretty nearly all hers.
