Wagner's 'rannhaeuser" at the Metro
politan Opera House yesterday. 1t was
q stormy performance, sttuned In style
to the weather. and It had too a good
deal OF human interest. which the
weather shared with Il. The only novelty
in the representation was the appear.
ance Of Melanie Kurt as Elisabeth. Her
singing was deeply affected by the vices
common on the lyric stage OF Germany
and in much OF the music OF this opera
they were more pitilessly exposed than
they are In some other works. Clipped
phrases. blatant and disagreeable upper
tones. rude and aggressive treatment OF
suave melodic passages were much too
frequent.
On the other hand. the tenderness and
womaniy graciousness Of Elisabeth were
beautifully delineated. Those who have
studied Mime. Hurts art since she came
TO us know that in this kind of delines-
ton she had her best success. Some OF
her defamation too. as In the second
act scene with Tdnnhdeuscr, displayed
the best qualities of the German inter
prctative style.
II was not brilliant lyric performance
