In reading Herbert Graf's en-
tightening book. Opera for the
People" it might be well to begin
with Part, III, entitled Blueprint
for the Future" There he tells
what can be accomplished, and
after realizing that what DR.. Graf
advocates is not impossible, the
reader can turn back to the be-
ginning and read about opera with
enthusiasm. He will become fully
aware why opera is not generally
a part of the musical life in this
country.
DR.. Graf has been stage director
of the Metropolitan Opera for
many years and is also director
of the opera department at Curtis
Institute. Before coming to this
country. his experience in this
branch of music was had, not only
in his native Vienna and in Salz-
burg, but in various other places
in Europe. He had the advantage
of close association with the great
est musicians, such as ToScannini
and Bruno Walter, and knows the
ins and outs of opera production
from every angle. The aim of
the book" he says in the preface,
sis to offer sufficient facts
and suggestions to stimulate fur
ther thinking about the produc-
ton of opera in America, an i'm
mensely fertile and rapidly grow
ing activity, and thus to con-
tribute to the progress of opera
as an integral part of the life of
the American community"
He is for and against two points
constantly brought up when opera
for Americans is discussed. He
champions opera in English.
Nothing" he believes, could
contribute more effectively to
keeping opera a mystery to it's
audiences than the foreign Ian
guage in which, in America, it is
usually performed" And later,
there must be no artificial bar
rier to communication and un-
derstanding between the author
and the people"
Government subsidy for opera
Is not advocated by him. ITO
expect complete Government sub
sidy for opera today, as in Europe,
would be unrealistic. :. 1t would
be especially impractical to plan
on such subsidy for an art form
whose civic function is ques-
toned by great many citizens.
Is this notion not really putting
the cart before the horse? Has
opera not first to prove its worth
to the general citizenry before it
can justif1ably appeal for public
fundS?"
Hopes for Common Effort,
This attitude is taken after
serious consideration by one who
knows well the financial Difficult
living art, renewing itself from
ties of the Metropolitan Opera
and other opera companies in this
country. In Europe the system
counted always on government
