Boys and men in Melchior Will Sing,“Tannhauser” Metropolitan Presents Wag tier's Masterpiece With Notable Cast in Sat urday's Matinee Told By LACRITZ MELCHIOR •PHB tltle-r6le of Wagner’s opera 1 “Tannhauser" which lam sing ing this Saturday afternoon in the! broadcast by the Metropolitan Op ara Association, while musically one of the greatest in operatic litera ture, dramatically is very difficult and not altogether grateful. An art ist, particularly a tenor, naturally wants to get a sympathetic re sponse from his audience. It is something he can sense immediate ly and It is difficult to do one’s best without it But In ’Tannh&user” the hero of the opera must wait until the last act before he feels this, when as a broken and despairing man he re turns from Rome, doomed by the Pope, as he thinks, to eternal per dition, and in desperation determin ed to return to Venus who had got him into all this trouble. Then he wins the sympathy of the audience. In the first two acts he is a neurotic, perhaps a madman, fiuctuactlng constantly between sens ual delights and spiritual aspira tions. The artist who interprets him must portray a man in the hitnti of forces greater than him self which now cast him down, now uplift him. He is a battlefield be tween desires of the flesh and as pirations of the soul. On one side is Venus, the goddess of love, on the other Elizabeth, the pure wo man who ultimately is to redeem him. Plot Taken From Old Legends “Tannh&user” is a great master piece, a notable tragedy built upon Unas almost Greek in their breadth, simplicity and symmetry. As in most of his operas Wagner went for his plot to old legends and folk tales. The minstrel Tannh&user has be come the beloved of Dame Venus in her grotto in the Venusburg, where he has dwelt with her, the recipient of all the sensual delights the goddess of love can offer. At last, surfeited with all these, con scious of his deadly sin, he breaks away to seek forgiveness from the one, who, he thinks, alone can save him, the Holy Virgin. Suddenly translated Into the up per world, hs finds himself In a meadow over which the great cas- Cepyright 19J4 by Metropolitan Opera Aatsciatioa, lecorporated MRS. LOUISA FROW WES LAST NIGHT FORMER KEY WESTER SUC CUMBS AT HOME IN COCONUT GROVE News has been received in ’he city announcing the death of Mrs. Louisa Frow last night at her home in Coconut Grove, Fla. Burial will take place there to morrow afternoon. The deceased, who was a former resident of Key West, is survived by two brother*, Richard T. Saw yer of this city and A. L. Sawyer of Coconut Grove, and one sister. Lauritz Melchior as Tannh&user. tie, the Wartburg, casts its shadow. There live the Landgrave of Thur ingia, his niece, the saintly Eliza beth; there he had lived and had won the love of Elizabeth before Venus had caught him in her net. A shepherd boy is piping to his flock. A band of pilgrims passes on its way to Rome. He would join them, when t{iere comes a hunting party, the Landgrave, his friend Wolfram and other minstrels, who welcome him back and would have him accompany them to the Wart burg where is to be held a contest of song. How Tannhauser Wins Redemption Refusing at first, he is persuaded to go when Wolfram tells him that Elizabeth still longs for his return. In the second act occurs the Song Contest in which Wolfram sings of love—spiritual love. This is too much for Tannh&user. He hears the call of Venus. His madness returns and seizing his harp he bursts into a wild song of sensual love, the love which only one who has been with Venus can understand. The assembly breaks up in con fusion. The ladies retreat in hor ror. The nobles would kill him on the spot. Elizabeth pleads for him and wins bis life on his promise to accompany the pilgrims to Rome and there seek pardon from the Pope. LEWINSKY LANDS TARPON ON BRIDGE Harvey Lewinsky, son of Mr.! and Mrs. Frank Lewinsky, cele-! hrated his half holiday yesterday, by going fishing on Boca Chicaj bridge and caught a tarpon. Many of the fish were in the ’ waters adjacent to the shore and Harvey cast his line hopinjr for a bite. His hopes were soon realiz ed and after a struggle a fin* three foot silver king was taken from the water. Mrs. B. W. Bennett, also of Coco nut Grove. j R. T. Sawyer, residing here, . will leave on the afternoon train ' for the purpose of attending the i funeral. THE KEY WEST CITIZEN the civilian conservation corpd trooped to the forests with shovels and axes and saws. Thousands went to work on bridges, dams, build ings; even artist and actors came under the influence of the “new deal.’’ Agriculture was not forgotten. In one of the most important moves of the administration, provision was made for acreage reduc. tion and the elimination of surpluses. Seeking to JifV business from the depression, the president pushed for the creation of the national recovery administration, which, by codifying industry, aims to better The Holy Father denies his plea. His sin is mortal and he has as much chance of salvation as his pilgrim’s staff haa to grow green leaves. He comes back, a despairing, broken man, in his desperation de termined to seek again Venus in her grotto. Elizabeth is dead. She had waited at the cross roads to see if he was with the returning pilgrims. He was not with them and she had gone to the castle to die. He tells his experience to Wolfram and just as he is about to give himself again to Venus, Elizabeth’s bier is car ried down the mountain side. Filled with remorseful agony, he falls on it and dies. Green leaves sprout from his pilgrim’s staff. He has been redeemed and purified through the love of a good woman. Paris Version To Be Used The opera was first produced in Dresden in 1845 and the music is characteristic of the Wagner of that period, except in the Venus burg scene which Wagner rewrote and added to for the Paris produc tion in 1861. In this the gorgeous Bacchanale and most of the other music is that of the Wagner who wrote “Tristan und Isolde.” The Paris version will be used in this performance and in it the famous overture runs directly, with out pause, into the Venusberg mus ic, the Bacchanale and the long scene between Venus and Tann h&user. In the second scene of the first act we hear the Shepherd’s song, the first pilgrims’ chorus and the fine male ensemble which brings it to an end. The second act opens with Eliza beth's joyous greeting to the hall which is so soon again to see the beloved minstrel; then come the duo between Elizabeth and Tann h&user, the entrance of the nobles— familiarly known as the 'Tann h&user March” the contest of song and the long and magnificent ensemble which closes the act. In the last act there are the beau tiful orchestral introduction, the aeoond pilgrims' chorus, Elizabeth’s prayer. Wolfram's song to the Eve ning Star and the thrilling narra tive of the returned hero. In this Saturday's performance In which I am singing the title-rdle, Lotte Lehmann will sing Elisabeth; Maria Olazewska, Venus; Fred rich Schorr, Wolfram; Ludwig Hof mann, the landgrave. Others in the cast will be Editha Fleischer, Messrs. Clemens, Paltrlnieri, Ga bor and Wolfe. Artur Bodanzky will conduct. PERFECT S. S. RECORD WITCHITA, Kans.
