Roan,ing The Air Waves

The first guest to appear on the Metropolitan Opera Additions of the Air program in 1899 will be none other than the great Metropolitan Opera tenor L.auritz Melchior. It has been custom on this program to have many of the opera great tell of their experiences and to encour- age the young singers who are audi. tioning. However, MT. Melchior in- tends to reveal a very astounding part of his career a part about which even the metropolitan music critics know little. For some time MT. Melchior has been lauded as the foremost Wagnerian tenor in the world. His tenor voice has been universally acclaimed but he made his operatic debut in Den- mark as baritone. Many singers have been tenors and then through voice change become baritone but few have taken the reverse '. how ever, the real story will be told by Lauritz Melchior himself next Sum- day afternoon.
