OF VERY great interest to Phila-
~ delphians is the season Of opera OF
the italian Lyric Federation, which,
under the aggressive leadership OF
Alfredo Salmaggi, has promised htty
operas at the Metropolitan Opera House
at popular prices. Signor Salmaggi
further announces that he Will give a
large number of operas never before
heard in Philadelphia. He will have to
IL he Is to give a season OF nifty per-
formances without undue repetition.
Here Is Philadelphia chance to sup
port what seems like q fine UNDERTAKING.
The performance Of "Othello' at the
Academy last June by the Lyric Fed.
Grafton was a most excellent, one, and
IL Signor Salmaggi will give. opera OF
this standard there Is no reason why
we should not this year and for sue
ceeding ones have an opera season really
worthy of the name. But 1t Will have
to be supported, and this part IS dis. rs.
tinctly Cup to- the music lovers OF the
city. H..
Opera can never be Cheap In the
accepted sense Of the word, and It must
always cost as much as or a little more
than the best theatrical performances
because Of the enormous expense IN
yolved in the salaries of principals, or
chestra, chorus and the cost of stage
settings, costumes, etc. An opera
often requires as many principals as
Shakespearean play. and the SINGERS
must all be nearer the artistic level OF
the stars than in the case of the actors.
You can give a play acceptably with
an orchestra of twenty musicians, many
of whom may be mediocre, but not SO
with opera. Here you must have forty
at the lowest estimate, and they must
be players Of skill and experience.
THESE, are only few of the reasons
i why opera cannot be given cheaply,
even eliminating the cost Of stars OF
the first magnitude, which run the ulti =
mate cost up to staggering figures. The
success of Signor Salmaggi's venture in
| Philadelphia will rest upon one material
consideration whether our people have
as vet reached the point of musical cul-
| ture to 20 to hear the work instead of
the singer. There Is no question as to
| the excellence of the company which he
| will bring, and single hearing will
suffice to 'place" the orchestra and the
stage settings.
It is to be hoped, II only for the mu :
sical opportunities which season OF
opera affords. that the first season OF
the Italian Federation will be success.
A city of the size and wealth Of Phila :
delphla should have no difficulty In sup
porting a real season of opera, espc-
cially when it is offered at the prices

THE CRITIC TALKS
TO MUSIC LOVERS
TyHE coming music season in Phila-

TyHE coming music season in Phila-
- delphia opens with every indication
that it will be the most brilliant as
we'll as the most numerous in perform
ances Of any that the city has ever
experienced. There is also most en-
conraging outlook from the box Office
point Of view, which augurs well for
the success of the present as well as OF
future seasons. And after all, the
box Office point of view is an exceed
ingly important one, in spite OF the
hypocrisy, as common among musicians
as among others who accept or drag,
as the case may be, their living from
the prdctice of the fine arts to the
effect that art and money have nothing
in common. ..
This all sounds, very well, but 1t
doesn't work out, especially In TINS day
and generation. No one will deny that
the artist, whatever may be his me-
dunn. who practices his art solely for
the money he can make out of 1t, is not
going 10 achieve very much in the ar
tistic sense; but at the same time
money In reasonable quantity is abso =
lutely necessary to the arts, especially
that of music. And in the case OF
music in the largest interpretatlve
forms such as great orchestra OF
opera. 1t Is necessary In quite unrea
sonable amounts.
This is required not only because OF
the very large salaries paid to the
principals (true of leading opera com .
panies but not of the ,orchestras), Du!
because the organizations must cohtroi
practically the entire time OF men ano
women of talent and of highly special
lied education.
The relation of the box office to ar
tistic endeavor, as well as to the educa :
ton Of the people along what are oe
coming. to be considered essentlai lines
can best be shown by the artlsuc iat'
Of those cities which do not encourage
In substantial financial manner the
hest artists and organizations. Inside
of counlo of seasons poor from the
6nnncial point Of view their seasons
vanish from view.
