FLYING DUTCHMAN'
MARKS SEASON END.
Martarethe Baeumer Wins
Graf Ovation as Senta in
Triumphant Finale.

re German Grand Opera Company
saw what was undoubtedly the best
rrniuction of their season in Wash
inson when they presented THE
Fl1ng Dutchman" at Polls Theater
veierday afternoon. The Richard
W.gner opera was absolutely new 70
rni1y In the audience. 1t was received
with marked enthusiasm by the large
audience and proved a triumphant
male to the season.
The singing of the one feminine role
r anv consequence, the role OF Senta,
ne sea captains daughter was beauti-
ully interpreted by Marguerite Baeu-
ner. She won a real ovation with her
reading of her aria, the ballad, "A
command of soft sustained phrases IN
the singing gave special distinction to
her work.
Made Debut Here Friday.
Fraulein Baeumer has been received
With much acclaim abroad. She made
her American debut in washington laSt
Friday In the role Of Donna Anna, In
"Don Juan" She showed then an
individuality Of tone quality and au-
thority az a singer who knew ner ira
ditions. She walked away with top
honors Yesterday as Senta and Will
surely be a welcome artist here again.
This opera first showed clearly
breaking away from the standards set
by italian opera and development OF
the music drama form of opera. that
Wagner was to make famous. The
initial production was in Dresden
January 2, l843 The story OF the
opera. the real legend of the Flying
buchanan" was told Wagner by some
| semen when he was making trip on
0 vessel bound from Hamburg to Nor
Negian ports.
j The theme so impressed the COM
poser that he wrote his own libretto
! first and 1t was produced in Paris as
a purely dramatic production. 1t was
extremely successful in this form. The
great philosopher Schopenhauer is said
to have complimented Wagner on the
beauty of this libretto and to have told
him that he was poet instead OF
musician. Wagner, however, continued
TO be inspired musically by this theme
and THE Flying Dutchman" was the
result.
Other Roles Not as Brilliant.
In contrast to Fraulein Baeumer's
Senta. the other roles of the perform
ance yesterday were adequately out not
brilliantly sung. Richard Gross lett
something to be desired vocally, al
Though he was excellent histrionicaily.
Dudley Warwick, who had his first per-
Torrance as Daland, the sea captain. on
this occasion, was very good even
though the role is taxing and high ;or
n basso. Karl Joern did not appear to
special advantage as Eric. Helena Lam
Mn sang the small role of Mary.
The choruses, both the sailors and
the outstanding effective spinning
Ichorus of the girls, were admirably
done. The settings and costumes were
eolorful The orchestra seemed at its
best throughout the entire score. 1t was
Iexcellently conducted by Ernest Meh-
lich, who is new to Washington.
The performance as q whole was q
highly creditable finale to the German
opera season in this, the first city oil
