OPERA SEASON IS
 OPENED BY 'AIDA'
Some Of Old Time PompI Missing
 as Verdi Piece Is Sung

New York, Oct. 2S (UP)-The last night with it's usual glitter and parade of the social elect.
 The opera which inaugurated the 46th season of the Metropolitan Opera company and the 23rd year of the reign of Giulo Gatti-C -Cazazza as director was the familiar Verdis Aida"
 The musty gold and red interior of the ancient house at Broadway and 39th street, which was opened in 1883, glittered as usual with a gath ering of New Works social leaders their guests and such of the com mon people who care enough about the opening night of the opera to stand in line for hours to get seats or to gain entrance.
 Pomp Seems Missing
 The usual pomp and circumstance nevertheless seemed to be missing. The house was crowded. of course, and the customary 4,000 people found their way in to hear Maria Mueller, Karin Branzell, Giuseppe De Luca, Giovanni Martinelli and the others of the cast vocalize their way through the familiar but ever enchanting airs of Verdi in his spectacular opera.
 It was the first opening night in five seasons that one of the Metro . politan's "big three feminine stars was not given a leading role. The lead previously had gone to Rosa Ponselle, Lucrezia Bori or Maria Jeritza.
 The singers were in excellent voice and Miss Mueller won repeated ova- tions for her clear and ringing rem , d!tion of the part of Aida. Miss BranZell as Amneris, Martinelli as Rhadames and De Luca as Amonas- TO shared in the generous applause.
 There seemed to be sombre air about this latest opening of the Metropolitan, seat of opera in the United States. Many of the vet eran operagoers realized again that soon they would be hearing the same operas in another setting than the Golden Horsehoe." The old house, however, still retained it's elamor, hallowed by the tradition of Caruso, and other stars of previous years. Until it is torn down and projected new opera is built the Metropo!.tGn still remains the shrine Of opera.
