FAMOUS OPERA.

NEW YORK, Jan. 1---wagner's
opera, "Parsifai." on which the Bey-

European capitals as we'll as In New
York today. Berlin, Paris. Rome and
Bologna heard the opera today for the
first time. although 1t was first heard
here ten years ago.
The first performance Of "Parslfar'
| In America. and anywhere outside of
the Festspielhaus at Beyreuth, was
given on December -, 1904. at the
Metropolitan Opera house.
When Heinrich conried. then direc-
tor OF the Metropolitan. announced on

and the whole company OF Wagnert-
ans aboard threw up their hands In
horror. Frau Wagner cabled state
menss TO America, and telegraphed
statements to Germany. declaring that
Herr Conried's purpose was lacking
IN reverence and illegal" and that she
would order HIS prosecution" il he
persisted In producing the opera
Frau Wagner reminded the world
that the master had expressly stated
In his will that Parsifal must be given
only at Reyreuth.
Herr Conried said that he had of
fered Frau Wagner $4,000 for her
consent to produce ''Pargifai" in
America. but that she had steadfastlv
refused. Finally In August of 1908
proceedings for an injunction were be-
gun In the federal courts. but Judge
Lacomhe decided there was no ground
for the injunction. And so ''ParsifaI''
was given.
BERLIN. Jan. 1.--"Parsifal' was
produced this evening at the Deutsches
Opera house. This was the first pro-
ductfon eff the opera in Germany out
side Of Bayreuth.
/ 1t was a success. but the critics COM
planned OF the absence of the tradition

opera house was packed. not a seat
being left vacant. In the audience
were all the prominent musical au-
thorities Of Berlin.
