|DE RESzKE FAvORS
RETURN TO WAGNER
Famous Composer Created Real
Characters for operate
Stage.

Jean de Reszke IL a believer In
Wagner music. Interviewed In Paris
he says:
Wagner must be given again
everywhere. For Wagners music
really represented a new epoch for us
opera singers; in fact. gave US quite
a new direction.
Before Wagner we OF the stage
had been singing a mass OF stereo-
typed operas with their hackneyed
nrias, duets. terzetti and ensembles.
that scarcely ever gave the individual
singer the opportunity TO develop an
artistic personality. With wagner All
this became different, for he created
real characters for the operate stage.
And the value OF Wagner's music
hardly need TO emphasize. But, be-
sides his music, Wagner also gave us
literary creations that are to be cher
ished. Just take the 'Nibelungen.
As often as l have sung the operas OF
the Tetralogy, as often as l have
studied them with pupils and more
often still heard them, every time j
take up the scores, or even only read
the text, thrill goes through me
that stirs me to the very heart"
And then Jean de Reszke began TO
ask questions about Amer ca-the
Metropolitan.
II often have an intense longing TO
see my beloved America again" said
he, "where ! passed so many unfor-
gettably happy seasons in the past"
"Why don't you Gomez" he was
asked. "Assuredly you would receive
royal welcome, especially from the
many who still cherish as precious
souvenir the remembrance OF your
roles"
who can tell" de Reszke replied
with an impulsive gesture. Perhaps
i may some day. But, for the present,
with my poor wife in such state OF
mental suffering, such plan Is, OF
course, quite AIt of the question"
