EEE 1167 Life’s Musical Calendar Tuesday, December 23, Century Opera House.—Bizet's “ Carmen”, a French in- terpretation of Spanish life, containing one of the most exaggerated and there- fore one of the most popular characteri- zations of the eternal Feminine on the operatic stage. Wednesday, December 24, Metropolitan Opera House.—The operatic celebration of Christmas Eve, chiefly for the aris- tocracy of wealth. The work selected for this particular evening is of little importance, as the horse-shoe will be filled in any case. Thursday, December 25, Century Impossible to Please Polyclitus, the sculptor, made two statues of the same subject—one to please the multitude, the other according to the strict rules of art. In the former, he would make any alteration that was suggested by visitors as “an improve- ment”. When both statues were exhib- ited together, the one was ridiculous, the other highly praised and admired by all. “This gentleman,” said he “ which you find so much fault with, is your work. The other is mine.” Opera House (Afternoon).—Holiday matinee, consisting of an “ International Ballet” followed by Humperdinck’'s “Hansel und Gretel”, one of the few operas of modern times suitable for the very young person, Metropolitan Opera House (Evening). —Another message from the temple of the operatic gods, imparted to all those who have the price of admission. The cast will be picked from those members of the company who are willing to ex- ercise moderation in the eating of their Christmas dinners. Friday, December 26, Metropolitan Opera House (2.30 P. M.).—Special mati- nee performance, at reduced prices, of Humperdinck’s “ Hansel und Gretel”, a work which will soon be known as “ the traditional holiday opera”. (Evening).—A_ combination perform- ance by the aristocracy of the operatic and social world, with the gallery-gods and the rail-birds as audience. Carnegie Hall—Annual Christmas per- formance of Handel's “ Messiah” by the Oratorio Society, an occasion which still appeals to lovers of sacred music and to those conservative people who insist upon keeping in mind the real signifi- cance of Christmastide. Saturday, December 27, Metropolitan Opera House (Afternoon).—Sccond holi- day matinee of the Gatti-Casazza com- pany (Evening).—Special performance, at popular prices, of Verdi's “Aida”, a story of ancient Egypt, set to music which employs ptian’ themes in the conventional Italian manner: The most successful opera ever written on the theory that dramatic realism may be sug- gested by the general character of the music, without a sacrifice of melody or harmony, instead of being actually pro- duced by the direct imitation of reality. Carnegie Hall (Afternoon).—First re- cital of Eugene Ysaye, the Belgian violinist, who has decided to re-enter a field which last season proved extraor- dinarily lucrative. (Evening)—A repetition of Handel's “ Messiah ” by the Oratorio Society, the third performance of this masterpiece hin two wecks. Sunday, December 28, Metropolitan Opera House—The customary Sabbath exploitation of individual stars of the operatic sta by - the Metropolitan Company. An easy and lucrative method of preserving the traditions of musical hero-worship without any great sacrifice of art. Century Opera House-—A successful imitation of the “star system” by a company supposedly lacking in heroic in- dividuals of the Metropolitan type The defect is remedied by the con- sistent presentation of music which the audience already knows by heart and is therefore in no position to judge im- partially, Monday, December 29, Lyceum Theatre (Afternoon).—Songs and recitations by Kitty Cheatham: A. unique. style of entertainment, containing much that is amusing, particularly for the children, and with some claim to real value along musical and dramatic lines.
