OPERA CONTAINS
MOST THRILLING
military MARCH
1riumphal March In "Aida''
Is Known to Every
Lover of Martial
Music.

While "Aida" is an opera written
especially for the singers and
chorus, in this masterpiece Verdi has
in no manner sacrificed the voice for
orchestration. Unlike most COM
posers who save the big arias for
climaxes, Verdi comes forth at the
very beginning of the first act and
has the tenor give his best aria, that
of Celeste Aida" Some critics have
considered this rather unwise. as it
makes the tenor nervous and does
not give him time to get his voice
good and warm.
This number is sung by every big
tenor of the day, and on the tour of
the Chicago Opera association.
which presents aida" in Omaha, at
the Auditorium on Monday evening,
October a., music lovers will have
the opportunity Of hearing the ia
nous young tenor, Alessandro
Dolci, sing this beautiful and stir
ring aria.
Several Pretty Duets.
The "Ritorna Vincitor" is also a
wonderfully written number for dra-
matte soprano, and will be sung by
Rosa Raisa, the greatest Aida OF this
generation. There are a couple Of
duets between Ramfis, the basso,
and Rhadames, the tenor. In the
opening of the second scene of the
first act Amneris, contralto, sings
"Chi mai fra" in which she praises
Rhadames over the fact that he has
been chosen leader Of the army.
This number will be sung by the
popular young American eontralto.
Sophie Braslau, who is well known
throughout the country. A duet be-
tween Aida and Amneris. "Alla
pompa, che .s'appreste," is filled with
dramatic feryor.
The "Triumphal March, is known
to every lover of martial music. 1t
is one of the most stirring military
numbers ever written, and every
band leader never fails to play il
at some time or other. 20 tn che
\ sci d'Osiride" is sort of relifeous
chant for all chorus. In this num-
Der Verdi has given it an oriental
coloring unsurpassed in skill and
weird harmony. 20 patria mia" (My
Native Land) is most beautiful
number for dramatic soprano.
Raisa sings this famous number
in 4 manner that cannot help but
thrill all who hear her. 1t is filled
with pathos and sorrow for her de-
feated and suffering people. The
duet between the dramatic soprano
and baritone is also number fillee
with stirring and dramatic effect
There is also a trio between Aida
Amnosamo and Rhadames thai
never fails to bring forth applause
Other famous numbers are La ia
tai pietra" and 20 terra addio."

The return of Mrs. Emmy Des-
tim to American shores last week,
after nearly four years abroad.
most of which time was spent in
the confines of her estate near
Prague, where she was virtually
held a war prisoner by the Aus
trian authorities because Of her
pro-ally tendencies, has caused
much speculation in musical circles.
And we'll it might, for Nine. Des-
tim is one of the most besought
singers in grand opera. While a
great many opera goers may feel
somewhat disappointed over the
fact that Nine. Gluck will BE- unable
to appear with the Chicago Opera
association on its preliminary tour
owing to slight illness. the ap-
pearance of Nine. Destinn is an oc-
casion that should make the en-
sasement in Omaha all the more in
teresting as it will be her first ap-
pearance in grand opera. since she
arrived in the United States after
her war experience.

Destinn has few equals, and reports

Americans in all parts of the coun-
try have to admire her.
In appearing in this city il, "Ihe
Masked Ball" Mr.. Campanini has
chosen an opera which calls for her
best vocal powers and histronic art:
to show the people in this part Of
the country just what has been ex-
pected Of her in both Chicago and
New York. This in itself should
stimulate opera-goers to the fact
that her return should prove moth
ing less than a gala event, for at
both the Auditorium theater and
the Metropolitan opera house Nine:
Destinn has always been an idol
with the public. and her appearances
always called for the best there was
in society as we'll as among the
great music-loving public.
