Mosenthal. who gave Goldmark an as
toplshingly fine libretto for The Queen
of Sheba.
THE pair who worked together TO the
l. best advantage in recent years in
grand opera are Verdi and Arrigo Boito,
the latter being man OF unusual at
tainmeDts both as musician and q
librettist. During his earlier years,
Verdi worked with Piave, who furnished
the librettos for "Ernani." "Rigoletto"
and '"Traviata' besides several others,
but Boito, great Shakespearean
"Othello" and "Falstaff," two very
fine librettos.
Boito was a fine composer himself.
and his opera ''Mefstofele, to which
he furnished his own libretto, is on the
repertoire Of every great opera com
pany of the world. This knowledge Of
music, coupled with his thorough stage
technique. an indispensable adjunct of
a competent lbrettist, his equally great
knowledge Of the classic literature of
several languages. and his skill in the
use of words, made him the ideal libret
fist for the great works with which
Verdi ended his career.
In fact, he practically gave up his
own career rs composer to write
Nerdi's later librettos. evidently recog
nizing the greater musical talents Of
his friend, who, it is said, frequently
consulted him regarding the music as
we'll as the words of his operas. Boito.
incidentally also wrote the libretto for
Ponchielli's "Gioconda, " but under the
name Tobio Carrie, which, it is easily
seen, is an anagram Of his own name.
TN ADDITION to furnishing some OF
i the finest librettos that have ever been
produced in the history of the opera.
Boito left the greatest operate mystery.
He had finished n second opera,
"Nero." long before his death which
occurred last year, but IL has never been
produced, although promised In Italy for
al least a dozen years. 1t is said to be
a remarkable masterpiece ard the story
of it's merit has evidently lost nothing
in the telling. The latest Is that Tos-

pretty nearly fifty fifty basis. Part
of this enjoyment is undoubtedly due
to the fact that the operas are humorous
and in language which the audience
can understand.
Few of those who attend perform
ances of the grand opera have a suth-
cient knowledge of the language of the
opera. whether it be Italian or French,
to understand every word as they uu-
derstand the English of a Gilbert
libretto, but the native Italian who at
tends gets as much pleasure from the
libretto of "The Barber of Seville" or
"Gianni Schicchi' as the native Ameri-
can gets from that of '"The Mikado'
or "Pinsfore.
The great success of every collabora
ton of composer and librettist lies IN
the fact that words and music must fit
each other, and this probably is the case
with the Gilbert and Sullivan comic
operas to a greater extent than with any
other composer and librettist. Certainly
no pair can show the same number of
successes that these two have to their
credit. And Gilbert's work was the
equal of that of Sullivan, for it ranged
from the harmless fun of '"The Mikado"
to the pungent satire of Patience,
which did more than any other one
thing 10 end the dangerous estheticism
of Oscar Wilde and his imitators.
HOWEVER, good operas do not al
IL ways depend upon good librettos
In fact, some of the finest musical
works have been set to the most fatuous
and silly words and plots. Mozart's
magic Flute" Verdi's LA Forza del
Destino'' and that frightful example of
what a libretto should not be, III
Trovatore, are only three of many
which might be cited.
Mozart's best librettist was Da Ponte,
who provided the words for 'rhe Mar
riage of Figaro" and Don Giovanni"
but IL was always a mystery to Bee
thoyen how Mozart could set such Won
derful music TO such librettos. Bee
thoven himself had unlimited trouble in
getting a satisfactory libretto for an
opera, but after many years of trying
took "H'idelio.' He made lot of
trouble for his friends over the matter,
