'LOHENCRIN' SUNG
AT METROPOLITAN
Wagner Opera the Second
Offering of the Season
A New Herald.

Italy opened the opera season on
Monday night with "Un Ballo in Mas
chera," Germany had it's chance at the
second performance last night with
Lohengrin," France is to follow to-
night with Carmen" Giulio Gatti-Ca-
sazza thus shows his belief in the neu-
trality of art, and it was probably not
with malice aforethought that he took
the opportunity yesterday Of showing
the banks of the Scheldt ns they we're
in the Middle Ages, before benehcently
scioat:Gc Eultur undertook to p!e@sA
them up with Krupp artillery. mere
was, however, trouble even then IN
Flanders, as poor Elsa OF Brabant knew
only too well-even If her Swan Knight
was no William the Sudden hot for res
cue But as the Metropolitan opera
Company has publicly declared IT'S neu-
trality such comparisons are lnvidlous'
Last nights "Lohengrin" was an ad-
mirable performance, given, with one
exception. by tried and proven artists
and conducted by the ever able and
enthusiastic Alfred Hertz. Mr.. Hertz
held his orchestra we'll in hand and
gave abundantly Of his Wagnerian
lore, while both chorus and musicians
sang and played for love OF the Father
land. The title part was sung by
Jacques Urlus. Mr.. Urlus was hardly a
spiritual Paragon, but he sang the
music with great spirit and with res
onant tone. Nine. Gadskfs Elsa has
long been one of her best parts, and
though there were times last night
when her voice seemed trifie tired,
her conception was on the level with
those Of recent years. Mr.. WelPs
Telramund has always lacked sinister
force both in voice and in action, but
he is always sincere artist. Carl
Braun's Heinrich is a truly kingly hg-
ure. and his voice one of the finest
organs heard in New York in recent
years; if only vocal discretion were
one Of his virtues. The new member OF
the company was Arthur Middleton, an
American barytone, who was making
his New York debut in the part Of the
Herald. Mr.. Middleton disclosed a
pleasing voice and manner that pos
sessed not a little authority. He will
probably prove useful addition TO the
company.
1t was 20 the Ortrud. however, that
first honors went last night. Nine.
Marguerite ODER made her debut last
year in this part. and at once placed
herself in the ranks Of the elect. Her
Ortrud is a veritable force of nature,
an unleashed whirlwind, and those who
have heard her give her Invocation re-
member it as they remember few other
things. Histrionically, her conception
may be slightly melodramatic in ex-
ternals. but it's terrific power raises it
to the heights Of tragedy.
