Unfinished Puccini Opera
Will Be Sung.

"rTURANDOT," the posthumous
opera of Giacomo Puccini which
he never finished, will be per-
formed during the coming season at
the famous La Scala Opera House,
according to a report received from
Rome. 1t seems that the manage

a testament of the composer to the
effect that the opera be given exactly
as it was written and without the
final love duet. After the premiere,
the work will be completed with an
adaptation of fragments of the score
written by Puccini. The name of the
composer who will undertake this
work has not been made public.
Toscanini. impresario of La Scala, and

poser, are comforting with this un-
