each year in recreating interest in OPP

ticularly tuneful. In fact, Puccini Is
one of the few composers whose works
have been both numerous and lasting.
It is stated that in writing this opera

pm, only 10 minutes over an
hour in length. At the same
time, one who is deeply interested
in musical progress could not help
but feel that in that brief time
the auditor spectator won rare
privilege of glimpsing a new era
in the art of musical development
of actually participating in a
flight across a wide chasm in ar
tistic renaissance. One could not
but feel keenly the sterility and
artificiality of the standardized
ballet and opera, as contrasted
with this remarkably vital new
art that seems to mirror accur-
ately the postwar revolutioniZing
qualities-some reviving the most
basic riches of nature, others con-
tradicting these with unhealthy
terrorizing moods. Both opera
and ballet might weiM be termed
psyche analytical music.
