It is doubtful II the plan TO have

Paris visit this country next season

Of France as the promoters OF the en-
terprise appear to think. Nor will
the fact that there will be an oppor-

The Opera Comique has been the ira

two works, Faust" and Carmen

ond is one Of the pillars OF the opera
Comique. "Nanon." "Mignon," Lou
ise," 'Pelleas ct Melisande" and some
of the old works rarely heard in any
other country to-day support the
opera Comique. They have all been
heard here. and there are very few
others which would interest. SO II
would he difficult to find audiences
in this country for the modern operas
produced from time to time, which
are not even supported by the people
Of Paris.
Recent French works at the Metro

which should have a place there. such
as the works Of MAssENET. and Ger
