MABEL GARRISON STARTLED
GERMAN OPERA CONDUCTORS

Miss Mabel Garrison, American
singer, is returning to New York al
ter a successful season in Germany,
where she caused revolution in mu-
sic circles which has left the leading
conductor still gasping. Miss Garrison
began her iconoclaStic battle in Frank
ford, where she was engaged to sing
the leading role in the Barber OF
Seville"
Miss Garrison has a soprano voice,
while the music is written for con-
tralto. The singer refused to attempt
the music, declaring that it must be
transposed to fit her voice. Aghast,
the conductor explained that the MT
sic was written twenty-five years ago
and could not be touched, but in the
end the American prima donna had
her way, and then she preceded to
shock the conductor again by forcing
him to change the tempo. She carried
her revolution also to other operas
produced in Berlin where artists are
being forced to accommodate their
voices to the parts for the sake of the
original scores.
Miss Garrison declares that German
conductors are more careless than
American conductors and give little
attention to rehearsalS, sometimes not
requiring a single number to be re-
peated She says she found the Oper-
attic stage in Germany in serious
condition with many leading artists
