Atlanta with the Metropolitan this year
Mr. Gatti, as he is more Familiarity
known, was tremendously impressed
with Atlanta when he came here for

it was wonderful that a Southern city
should be able actually to make Metro
politan Grand Opera a paying propo-

North had scarcely succeeded in max
ing it self-supporting.
MT GATH is the most commanding
figure in the world as an impresario.
He is the general chief of the great
est grand opera army that has ever
been mustered.
Nine Frances Aida, the beautiful
wife of the impresario, will be one Of
the chief stars in opera this year. She
comes fresh from new triumphs in New
York, which she achieved in the role of
Roxane in "Cyrano." Nine. Aida will
appear in that role in Atlanta.
The presence Of Mr. Gatti, of Tosca-
mini and of Caruso, the three men alb
solutely pre- eminent in their respec-
tive spheres, will keep the eyes Of the
musical world fixed on Atlanta this sea-
