I'll TROVATORE"
FULL OF SURPRISES
New Stage Pictures Effec-
tive in Presentation of
Old Opera.
BY II. +. KREHBIEL.

The most surprising thing about yes
terday afternoons production OF I'll
Troyatore" at the Metropolitan Opera
House was the fact that Mr.. Gatti
and Mr.. Toscanini thought it necessary
to give so much thought and time and
money 70 iti By this we do not mean
that the opera is not deserving OF high
respect from every lover of the lyric
drama. Il is. He would be a very
imperfect Wagnerite who would not
admit that fact, just as he would be a
very imperfect student Of the lyric
drama who would not recognize the
operas absurdities. in spite Of the
most extravagant efforts TO gloss them
over. II is a wise procedure to re-
study old operas, because of the evil
influence which humdrum ard conven-
tional performances have upon them.
But il is not always wise 20 depart
from tradition simply on the theory
that changes will give value or interest
10 the work.
There were new pictures in the
opera yesterday, but al Troyatore" u
not an opera that depends for even a
fraction of it's interest on the stage
sots Let the fact that the new pict-
ures were pretty and appropriate and
effective be recorded with gratitude;
it did not take the asthmatic gsspings
out of Leonora's music, nor put CO.
herence into the dreadful medley Of
burnt babies and dance tunes which
the drama is concerned with.
IL Is not likely that anybody is going
to quarrel with al Trovatore." No
doubt there were persons in the au-
dence who remembered its first per-
formances here some fifty years ago.
At any rate, there were some who could
recall the original Manrico, Signor
Brgnoli For them the new stage pict-
ures were a qualification; the singing
of Miss Destinn, Miss Ober, Signor
Martinelli and Signor Amato a delight,
though il was permissible to wonder
at Miss Ober's Italian, because OF its
unintelligibility, and Signor Amat0's
because Of its exaggerated pathos. We
do not recall any old-fsshioned Count
di Luna who found it necessary to put
three aspirates into the word Leonora
in order to convey sense Of his in
ordinate love for that creature. This
may not have been a result of the re-
study Of the work; we should think
not.
But there were other things quite as
strange. Among them the striving
after concert effects in the singing OF
the choruses, especially Signor Tos-
canini's prediction for pianisslmo ef-
fects whenever the chorus is out of
sight. In al Trovatore" yesterday, as
in Carmen" this wonderful conductor
seemed to have forgotten the distinc-
ton between lyric drama and concert.
