1913. The usual number of five con-

several new, and, it is believed, par
ticularly interesting features. For the

body of artists, as well as the orches-

In fact it can be said that the Festi-
val will be Metropolitan Opera
House presentation.
The Metropolitan Opera House Or
chestra, of fifty men, with Mr..
Giuseppe Sturani, conductor, has been
