LARGE AUDIENCE
HEARS 'WALKUERE'
Opera Sung Here for First
Time This Season by Best
Singers Available.
MERIT IN PERFORMANCE

Wagner's Die walkucre" was given
a. the Metropolitan Opera House last
evening for h first time this season.
The cast was the strongest the house
can assemble at the present timo and Mr..
Rodansky was in the conductors chair.
The audience was large. as was to be ex-
pecicd. for this music drama IL always
p%opular. The performance was one Of
much merit. 1t had It's oment Of de-
preston. but on the whole Il moved on
preston was created by a harmonious
cooperation Of all the forces engaged in
tho representation. and the principal
singers are entitled to praise for their
activities.
die Walkuere" Is a work which rests
upon the shoulders Of principal singers.
Even its one choral number calls for q
small choir OF principals. and this the
Metropolitan supplies with success. The
present Valkyr statehood Is composed
OF Leonora Sparkes, Helen warrum.
Vera Curtis, Rita Fornia, Florence
milford. Julia Heinrich. Marie hatfield
and Lila Robeson. Theirs Is a brief
quarter of an hour of glory. and they
seldom get their names into the papers.
The titular valkyr of the evening was
that versatile singer, Nine. Matsenauer.
whose B~ruennhiLdo is well known to
o~peragoers. 1t Is therefore enough to
say that II was as good as usual last
evening. Nine. Kurt was the Sieglindo
and Nine. ODER the F'rickd. Nine. Kurt
is a good. cohscientious -Brau und
schwester,' hut the woman has been i'm
personated with something more Of in
spiration and melting tenderness.
The Siegnlund was Johannes Sembach.
who was both picturesque and vocal.
lie wandered from the pitch sometimes
when singing softly. but he counter
balanced this fault by some very pretty
zone and some graceful shading. His
d!c,lon. too, was good. His Volsung was
manly and fervent. and on the whole he
was interesting. Carl Braun's stalwart
Wot1n was as it usually is. while Henri
scott, who a n Hnnding for the first
time at the Metropolitan, was entirely
acceptable.
NJ. Bodansky's conducting disclosed
me sterling qualities now expected OF 1t.
This musical director continues to earn
the gratitude OF operagoers by the nice
adjustment of the orchestral and vocal
parts of his interpretations. Without
d-priving the orchestra of its full share
a the eloquent utterance of Wagner's
iaoueht he prevents it from obscuring
Inc voices of the singers and thus gives
full value to all that takes place on the
stage.

try: Brahms's d major concerto for
violin and the 'Tannhaeuser" overture
Of Wagner. The soloist was F,i;z
Kreisler.
The Smetana cycle was heard last
night for the first time In New York
in its entirety. The work. which the
composer wrote In order to celebrate
the glory Of his country. contains in
all six tone poems entitled "Vysehrad'
"a far famed fortress) "Vlatava" ui.e

A bohemian by birth. the work IL to
him naturally Of a national as well AS
artistic value. 1t Is music his orchestra
il wont to play with beauty of feeling
and finish in workmanship. and the per-
Torrance was on similar lines of ex-
cellence.
The hearing OF the additional poems
gave interest through showing the pur-
pose of the composer in their content
otherwise they made the work Of too
great length. The third poem. "Sarka,'
was of more interest than the last two,
Each in its form fitted into the scheme
Of the whole work.
Mr.. Kreisler's performance OF the
Brahms concerto was one of rare beauty.
Deep appeal was made to the listener by
his poise and lofty style, while his beauty
OF tone and poetic feeling were unfail-
ing sources OF delight. Long continued
applause greeted him as he came upon
the platform and after his performance
there was a warm demonstration.
