Nine. Gordon Sings
as Brangaene in
Tristan und Isolde
Replaces Nine. Oneg'in in Sec
ond Performance Of the
Opera.
by w. >. HENDERSON.

Wagner's Tristan und Isolde" had
It's second performance of the season
at the Metropolitan Opera House last
evening. There We're two changes in
the cast. Nine. Sigrid Onegin gave
way to Nine. Jeanne Gordon as Bran
0dene and Mr.. Whitehill. who hod
sung the exacting role Of AthandeI in
'Thais" on the previous evening, was
relieved by Gustave Schuetzendorf as
hnrrenol Neither change was bene-
ficial. Nine Gordon's voice is of So
prano quality, while that OF Nine.
Matzenauer. who sang Isolde, leans
toward contralto timbre. especially in
It's lower range. Thus the musical
contrast planned by Wagner was re-
versed. and this, in a lyric drama in
which the organic union of mood, text
and musical color is so complete. was
disadvantageous.
1t seems futile, however. to plead
for the artistic aims of Wagner. He
himself died a disappointed man be-
cause he felt that the world persisted
- NSAAOAA AHS IiiS puIpcSe 10 transform
opera into drama per musica" and
viewed such works as Tristan und
Isolde through the eyes of the mere
seeker after entertainment. The con-
ditions which Wagner lamented still
exist, and therefore operagoers are not
disturbed by an exchange of voices so
long as those voices produce agree
able sounds.
Let 1t then be recorded that Nine.
Gordon is pictorially beautiful Bran
0dene and that she gives an intelligent
and commendable impersonation. Mr..
Schue-Zendorf has been heard with
greater satisfaction in other roles than
IN hurpendl. He was sincere and
painstaking and quite in accord with
the traditions.
Mr.. Bender repeated his King Mark,
in which he sustained the reputation
which he has gained in the course of
