Comments on Washington

~ 1NCE my advent to America 20
years ago 1t has been my con-
slant wonder that the Capital
~ of the greatest nation in the
world should be the only
capital of any Importance in the world
lacking an grand opera house" said
General Manager Giulio Gatti-CasaZza
Of the Metropolitan Opera Company of
New York, recently, discussing the
forthcoming visit of his organization to
Washington.
Italy, my native land, certainly is
far from having the resources that the
United States have. but she has con-
sidered it money we'll spent to have
renovated handsomely the famous Co.'S
tanZi Opera House Of Rome. Paris,
Berlin and Vienna are famous for their
homes of grand opera. Covent Garden
Opera House of London is household
word to all music lovers
so cannot understand why Wash
ington should not have a worthy opera
hOusea building to be in keeping with
the other beautiful structures that are
constantly being erected there.
However, there must be a popular
interest back of any such undertaking,
and that popular interest must have a
means of expression. We are giving as
interesting and varied a program as
possible. with the cream Of our COM
pany of artists.
