Concerning works of real genius a dis- creet silence is maintained until they have received the inevitable stamp of public approval. Last year the gigantic “Boris Godounoff” of Moussorgsky was ushered in with scarcely a mur- mur of introduction. Yet the tumult and the shouting of its reception has not yet died. Later cafne the fond hope of the imitative American school, Walter Damrosch’s “Cyrano”, at- tended with pomp and circumstance and preceded by a multitude of his- toric details, personal interviews, lec- tures, recitals, hopes, fears, ambitions and prophecies. But even the very general affection for the composer and the victimized singers could not arouse more than a mild enthusiasm, and “Cyrano” is already almost forgotten. This year the blare of trumpets her- alded the approach of a new Richard Strauss monstrosity, “Der Rosenka- valier”. To the credit of the Metro- politan directorate be it said that this opera was produced primarily as a public duty, and in the face of almost certain financial loss, owing to the up- to-date business methods of the com- poser. Yet, in spite of a preliminary publicity which broke all records, and in spite of the advanced prices charged at the opening performance, “ Der Rosenkavalier” was far from a bril- liant success. And now, for the second time, the startling contrast appears in the pres- entation of a new Italian opera, Monte- mezzi's “L’Amore dei Tre Re”. Two weeks before the first performance no information had been given out beyond the fact that the composer was a young man and that his opera had been successful in Milan last season, The new work was unconcernedly an- nounced one day as part of the regular weekly bill, and even then there was only a ripple of public interest. But when two acts of “L’Amore dei Tre Re” had been played, an American audience for the first time in years sat gasping with incoherent astonishment and spontaneous ecstasy at the revela- tion of a supreme work of art. Not since Conried snatched “ Parsifal” from the sacred altars of Bayreuth has the Metropolitan Opera House har- bored a spark so full of the potential fire of genius. If it is an insult to American in- telligence when hawkers of publicity clamor forth the marvels of “ Cyrano” and “ Der Rosenkavalier”, surely it is a delicate compliment to our audiences ‘Vera Sweet is a delicious box of rich, pure choe- olates whove centers are as full of surprises ane woman's logic.
