o There are families where chill o

Writing for Volume | Of Groves
Dictionary Of Music and Musicians"
which appeared in 1904, Signor Mszzu-
cato, who ought to be a repository Of
az many Of the composers secrets as
anybody, and who speaks Of "Nerone"
as his mognum opus, remarked that
il had then for long time been 80
far advanced that. II the author
chose, il might be got ready for per-
Torrance IN few weeks -"but there
are excellent reasons for not giving
the finishing touches 10 it, which
Signor Mazzucato thought might
easily be guessed, but which never
theless have remained a mystery ever
since. Now comes a writer in The
Musical Times" If London who pro-
fesses to know that the opera is I'm
ished and a grea' deal Of it orches-
trated. "Yet in the present situation
no one can prophesy when it will be
produced" He also says that the work
i. so tremendously long that its per-
Torrance would consume nearly six
hours, wherefore Signor Boito has
courageously sacrificed the whole Of
the sixth (snd LAST act.
The opera-lovers Of New York ought
to be interested in "Nerone," and II
there is any influence sufficiently
potent to persuade Boito TO give IL TO
the public the directors OF the Met
ropoitsn Opera Company ought 70
authorize signor Gatti TO apply II. II
would make a prem,ere that would
dwarf all Of those which New York
has seen. Signor Mszzucato quotes
Sgnor Cossa, who wrote a 'Nerone"
that made him famous, as saying OF
Boito's lbretto: There are concep-
tons worthy Of Shakespeare himself;
my 'Nerone' compared 70 his is mere
child's play"
The writer in the English musical
journal outlines the story Of the
opera, but at such length that IL can
not be reproduced here. This much
may be told, however: Nero, who
has committed most Of the crimes
which made him infamous, is with
Simon Msgus. who is performing rites
to appease the spirit of murdered
Agrippina in a tomb on the Applar
Way. Shortly figures appear-As
terra, who loves the tyrant, and
Rubra, the Vestal Virgin who ra'
lured By him TO break her vows and
who has sought consolation In thu
new religion. A brilliant picture o.
/ the life Of Rome comes with day
break when Nero is carried back t
Rome. In the second act the empe
ror is seen worshipping at the insti
cation Of Simon Magus before thu
supposed statue OF goddess, which
