Mr.. Gallo, according to announce
ment bv the New York Herald
Tribune, played to nearly $4,000
opera lovers during the fall season in
New York, and a fortnight's engage
ment in Chicago, that followed,
PLAYED to $4,000.
The San Carlo Opera Co. poll
cy of grand opera brought within
pocket reach of the mass American
public, has survived 20 years OF
trans-continental tours. Interest in
opera grows, Mr.. Gallo believes, be-
cause of the improving public taste
in music, inspired by the activity OF
radio programs which continue to
add serious music to major broad
casts.
The list of singers to be heard in
leading roles is as follows: Sopranos,
Norma Greco. Hizi Koyke (for
Madame Butterfy), Blanca
Saroya, Lucille Meusel, Leola Tur-
ner. Mezzo- sopranos, Coe Glade,
Lyuba Senderowna, Charlotte Bruno
Tenors, Aroldo Lindi, Dimitri Ono
frei, Sydney Rayner (the past two
seasons leading tenor of the Met
ropolitan) and Francis Perulli. The
baritones are Mostyn Thomas, Marie
Vale, Ivan PetroH, Stefan Kozake-
vich. Bassos, Harold Kravitt, Rich
ard Wentworth, Fausto Bozza. Carlo
Peroni is now in his eighteenth year
as musical director; Louis Raybaut
directs the stage. The San Carlo
Ballet is a special feature.
The San Carlo Opera CO. carries
its own orchestra on tour. Under
the direction of Carlo Peroni and
managed by Francesca Liazza, the
orchestra has been nationally &C
claimed. Many of it's members have
been with the San Carlo Opera Co
more than Is years. So proficient
are it's players that no rehearsals
are required for the extensive San
Carlo repertoire.
Carlo Peroni, musical director OF
the San Carlo Opera Co., is famed

of the only touring opera company

Born in Rome, where his family
now has a home (his brother is

Station), Peroni became conductor

the St. Cecilia Conservatory in
Rome, where he received his musica.
education. He has long been an
American citizen, married to
California singer.
In the weeks repertoire by the Sar
