Italian Opera
Starts With Aida
at the Lexington
Leopoldo Mugnone, Director,
of High Standing in
Italy, Leads.

A season of Italian opera, conducted
by the Italian Lyric Federation. began
last evening in the Lexington opera
House with a performance of Aida
The audience was small in size but
plentiful In sound. It's bravi made the
rafters ring again and again. But dis
interested observers of the proceedings
must have wondered what was the oc-
casion of the raptures. There also was
room for conjecture as to the purpose
and expectations Of the projectors of the
enterprise. for New York has been lib
orally supplied with operate delights
ever since the middle of last November.
and It is now near the end of a very
full season of music.
The chief merits Of last evenings en-
tertainment were not to be found among
the principals. These, indeed, were OF a
time honored type. familiar to all who
have watched the history of cheap italian
performances In this town. Power pre-
dominated, and the refinements of lyric
art hid their diminished heads in the
background The singers were not
known to local fame. Armando Caprara.
the Rhddames. possessed high notes OF
extraordinary vigor. and the Aida, Nine.
Iva Pacetti, permitted her voice 10
CULVER with emotion when 1t was heard
at all. A remarkable An,neris and an
equally astonishing Amonasro were
joined with these others.
The star of the evening was the con-
ductor, Leopodo Mugnone. a musical
director of<high standing in Italy. whose
knowledge and authority could not be
obscured by the unhappy conditions sur
rounding them. He had fairly good
orchestra and tolerable chorus. both
of which responded enthusiastically TO
his direction. The orchestra did some
excellent playing and the chorus some
good singing. The excellence OF both were
principally In phrasinng. nuance. well
graded dynamics. effective treatments OF
rhetorical pauses and general clarity.
Mr.. Mugnone knows every bar of Aida"
and knows 1t as an artist. His meth
DDS are spectacular. but possibly they
would be less so In circumstances not
so trying as those of last evening. He
is Enthusiastically an admirable operatic
conductor. 1t seemed pity to see him
struggling with adversely.
