When the Metropolitan Opera w
York City Opera Company took over j
at the City Center from April 12
through 29 for 21 performances m j
which eight operas were heard. Of j
those, Wagner's "Plying Dutchman''
and Gounod's "Faust'' were new
productions. "The Flying Dutch- (
man” was especially welcomed, since j
it has been out of the Metropolitan ;
repertory for some seasons. It was
handsomely mounted and given an
expert production. Doris Doree, for
merly of the Metropolitan, revealed i
exceptional gifts in the big-time part \
of Senta.
"The Gypsy Baron,” which was a
great success on tour, was again in
the repertory and drew good hous
es.
The City Opera's season, which
was under the musical and artistic
direction of Lasblio Halasz, will be
ofllowed by Fortune Gallo’s San

ent out on its spring tour, the New
90 cities in the United States and
Canada. The usual standard reper
tory was adhered to, with Wag
ner’s "Lohengrin" as a special fea
ture.
Ballet was represented by S.
Hurok’s Ballet Theater, which held
forth at the Metropolitan Opera
House all during April to com
fortably filled if not always capaci
ty houses. The absence of Alicia
Markova has been tied up with Billy
performances, was keenly felt. Miss
Markova has been tied u pwith Billy
Rose’s "Seven Lively Arts,” but
probably will be with the company
again next season.
The four novelties of the season
were Bronislava Nijinska's "Har
vest Time" and "Rendezvous,” Leo
nid Massine's ‘‘Moonlight Sonata"
and Anthony Tudor’s "Undertow.”
Of these, the first three proved to
be run-of-the-mill stuff, but the
Tudor work, labeled a “psychological
murder ballet.” was something of a
sensation. Whether it will prove
a popular hit only time will tell,
but there was no argument over its
artistic merit. Most of the first night

since no program synopsis was pro
vided. Subsequent visits made its
symbolism more clear and height
ened the conviction that an out
standing contribution to the art of
ballet had been made. It is a Freud
ian study in psychoanalysis and is
perhaps better without a program,
for the individual can read many
different moods and meanings into
it. The music by William Schuman
is a perfect counterpart to the ac
tion.
The Ballet theater interrupted the
continuity of its performances once
toward the end of its run, when
the house was turned over to Mar
ian Anderson for her only recital at
the Metropolitan this season.
