opera was produced on January 90,
1870, at time when Da Ponte was poet
to the Italian Opera st Vienna; (h)
Vienna tradition says that it was COM
manded" by the Emperor Joseph II;
(c) the authorship has never been
questioned except by Nv. Littleheld and
an implication contained in the re-
mark OF the Frenchman, c. &c la Cha
vanne, whom Mr.. Littleheld call De
Ponte's biogrzpher and the Translator
OF his Memo orie" (about this some
thing presently); (d) the original an
nouncement (reprnted from the Peters
vocal score in my criticism Of Nj. Lit
tlehcld's article a fortnight aso) de-
scribes the work a. comic "Singspiel'
in two acts, Of which "the poetry is By
MI. Abbate da Ponte, Poet Of the Ital-
ian Singsp.el opera. AT the Royal
Imperial Court Theater." Ny copy Of
the vocal score bears no date. but in
that respect it is like many other mu
sical publications, and the circumstance
is immaterial, for the old house Of
Peters is not addicted to forgery; (c)
early reprints Of the lbrctto give
Da Ponte's name as the author; IL
Otto jain, MoZart's biographer an un
impeachnble authority, says Da Ponto
was the librettist and that the original
book Of words had been shown to him

peachable authority on the theatrical
history Of Vienna century ago; (g)

The season OF opera at the Metro
politan Opera House which came to
conclusion last night began on
November rs, and its duration was
therefore twcnty-three weeks Within
this period subscription performances
wero given on Monday, Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday evenings and on
Saturday afternoons There are great
many persons who have observed op-
cratic activities in the great musical
, centers OF Europe in the past VINO
think that the 1i6 performances which
would appear to be the normal mum
bcr Sor such season would represent
vast expenditure OF labor and artistic
energy. But tho sum represents only
fraction OF the activities Of the forces
over which Mr.. Gatti-Ca.azzs exercises
control. Beside. the performances on
subscription nights aud matinees the
Metropolitan company gave twenty
three performances on Saturday nights,
two Of them for tho benefit Of charita-
bic institutions, the rest at reduced
prices for admission; also twenty-seven
special matirces, some of them also
being designed TO help elcemosvnarv
organizations, but the majority Of them
being on the purely financial basis on
whicn tho Metropolitan Opera Com
pany has been comfortably resting for
several years. The company has also
filled engagements for sixteen Tues
! day nights in Philadelphia and ten
nights in the Borough Of Brooklyn.
Adding these twentysIx performances
to those given in tho metropolis, we
frd that within the period mentioned
: Tho company has given 19l operate
performances, and as it mas also giver
twenty-th-ce Sunday night concerts il
will be aeen that it has ''playcd,' to use
'he jargon ot the theater, 2l4 times
! within 1o9 iars.
Eo~eye- these Agure. may be viewed
they represent an eAtraordinary
achievement But more extraordinary
than desirable from 81 artistic point
Of view, many viii say, and with them
We are inclined to agree. No institu-
ton can work on such a scale and
under such pressure and produce such
results as New York is entitled TO
enjoy because OF its generous patron
age and in view Of the advantages
which the American metropolis enjoy 5
over ali the cities Of the Old World as
well as the New. There has been a
great and constant sacrifice oe ideals
and opportunities in this season, as in
many Of It's predecessors, 20 the spirit
Of business. It IS, however, q partial,
# not G complete, rccompense for artis-
tic faults. that financial success keeps
the institution on q firm foundation
and thus makes possible such artistic
results as are attained. Whatever may
; be thought Of It's products, il is Ger
tain!y magnificent machine which
can DO the sJupendous work which the
Metropolitan Opera Company does
year after year. with such little show
Of frict!on-a great organization con
trol.ed by master mind in the field Of
