WAGNER TETRALOGY
COMES TO ITS END.
Gocttcrdaemmerung" Has a
Good Performance Before
Large Matinee Audience.
MME. KURT APPLAUDED

The special scriee Of matinee per-
formances OF Wagners Der Ring des
Ntbelungen" came to an end yesterday
afternoon at the Metropolitan Opera
House. "Gotterdammerung'' was heard
by an audience which would have been
regarded as complimentary on a Caruso
night. and II must be borne In mind that
the regular subscribers were not a part
OF this assembly. The presentation OF
the final act of the ponderous tragedy
was admirable in most respects. GER
tainly In the beautiful devotion OF all
concerned in II and In the moving i'm
preston which was produced by its sus-
tained spirit.
The occasion was made especially in
teresting by the first appearance OF
Nine. Milanie Kurt "a BrpcnnhNde. She
had again an extraordinary success
with her audience, 80 extraordinary as
to excite something like amazement.
Mime. Hurts ~Bruennhiide was excellent
but the lovers of Wagner have permitted
others OF equal excellence TO pass with
less emphatic demonstrations OF APP
prevail.
Nine. Kurt's impersonation was char
acterized chiefly by It's publication OF
womanly emotion. Correct II concep-
ton in its eradication OF the last trace
of the valkyr's divinity. 1t searched
into the recesses of the agonies OF the
betrayed wife and found poignant vocal
utterance, as we'll as facial expression.
for every throb of anguish and every
burst OF rag in the great gamut OF the
tortured soul. 1t fell short OF a COM
plete realization Of the purpose Of the
dramatist by reason of a certain limlta-
ton in the range OF tonai color and a
want OF reserve power In the broader
phrases OF the music. A sympathetic.
Intelligent ans moving Bruennhiidc. this
one was n little wanting in the last
sweeping froclamations of tragic power.
Mr.. Berger's Sicgtriea was very
praiseworthy in the circumstances He
was in great pain from pleurisy, n
was enabled to go through the per-
Torrance only by the presence OF medi-
cal aid between the acts Carl Braun
strongly conceived and vigorously drawn
Hagen was one OF the most important
features of the drama. as It was when
first heard here.
Nine. Ober was the Wdltrdutc. Be
cause there has been occasion to express
regret in this place after some of her
doings this season 1t Is now especially
agreeable to record that her delivery of
the beautiful and touching story OF the
watch OF the despairing Wotdn was
almost as beautiful and touching as
the story itself. II was the best piece
of singing technically and in interpreta-
ton that Nine. ODER has done In many
long days.
She was also heard as one Of the
rhine ma.dens in company with Miss
Sparkes and Miss S~chumann. Miss
Curtis as GNtrunc. Mr.. Well as Gunthcr
and Mr.. Goritz as AlberICh completed
the cast. The big choral scene OF the
second act was superbly sung. and the
playing of the orchestra throughout the
afternoon was marked by great elias
tirity. by tine quality of tone and gen
eral finish of style. Alfred Hertz con-
Quoted, and 10 his skill and enthusiasm
is due the musical clearness and balance
OF the performance.
