Among the number are several who
have appeared In important roles

grand opera the orchestra is a feature
of the highest importance, and there
are thousands of opera patrons who are
quite as equally interested in this de-

the singers and actors on the stage.
The San Carlo orchestra this season
constitutes an aggregation Of musicians
able to meet every requirement, and
they are under the able direction OF
Chevalier Carlo Peroni a maestro who
can inspire and control. A perfectly
balanced instrumental body, ably dir
ected, is well-known to act as both a
stimulant and support to the singers
on the stage and gives TO the perform
ances an artistic smoothness that in
spires the artist to his best effort.
Each member of the instrumental de-
partment is a skilled performer upon
his particular instrument and was en-
gagged because of his thorough grand
opera training Nearly every member
of the San Carlo orchestra has devoted
his entire career TO opera work, while
a number of the players are soloists OF
