them in English, says Sir Thomas
Beecham, distinguished British
orchestra leader who has recent
" given several performances at
the Opera in Paris.
operate productions, he says,
do not have the popular support
that is due them in England and
America because they are sung
in foreign languages. 1t is con-
sidered the "chic" thing to do,
but let the fashion for. singing
in English once get well rooted,
and the great English opera com
panies will become the most snc-
cessful in the world.
Sir Thomas has plan for an
Opera League composed of gen.
uine lovers of music of the middle
class. He wants them to promise
a small sum each year and more
than that, to promise to attend
regularly. According to this schece
he will have the Opera House
sold out five years ahead.
