erstwhile husband, immortalized by his

1t is one Of the anomalies in the his

Italian or French performances but to
the German the opera owes the greatest

was given nine tipRes in the first Ger

performances heard in New York were
in tho German language. When DR..
Leopold Damrosch produced it it RI

brought it forward in the season Of
1S83'84, when the theatre was new. we
have heard three representatives of the
titular character in Italian (Stag-
no, Tamagno and Jean de Reszke) five
in German (Schott, Sylvia, Niemann.
Perotti and Gudehus) and two in
French (Alvarez and Caruso). That the
opera has never been popular in the

known to New York almost as long as
it has been in existence. 1t was per-

(and also in this country in 1853.
The manager who introduced it as a
novelty was Max Marctzik, who
served for a time as musical director

musical critic for considerable time,
