CARUSO AS "SAMSON" FEATURES OPENING OF OPERA SEASON

Considerable Numbers in This Year's
Programmes but Not Yet in Lead
ing Parts La Forza del ' Destino
to Be Sung Friday Night
By W. J. HENDERSON.
THE regular season of opera will begin at the Metropolitan Opera
Houso to-morrow night, when Mr. Caruso will reuppear as the
strong man of Israel. It docs appear that tho famous tenor has
over adapted to his own personal caso that last appeal of Ss.mson: "Lot
no dio with the Philistines," whereupon he brought down the houso.
EvcTy ono knows' that tho Philistines dearly love opera and that they
bestow no'jot or itom of their intelligence upon any other form of music.
One also knows that their Ita or Toth (see ,KThe Sending of Dana Da")
"and their Indra or their Apollo are found in Caruso, who in their opin
ion inherited Jubars lyre, and plucks from it the songs of tne seven
planets, songs without words, as sung by tho Egyptian priests centuries
hefQre Aida was born.
"Let mc die with the Philistines!" It is a fitting prayer for a happy
ending. If Caruso waits till the last of them has sunk into the Ian of
Lamia he will'(0, king) live forever. Meanwhile to-morrow evening In
the old familiar way he will succumb to tho delirious charms of that dev
astating siren Louise Homer amid the jeers of Giulio Setti's brazen
throated chorus and the general satisfaction of those nmiablo people who
have paid speculators $40 (latest quotation) each for orchestra stalls.
It was perhaps a graceful idea on the part of Mr. Gatti-Casazza t
open the season with an opera by tho dean of French 'composers, and als.
it gave Mr. Caruso an opportunity to begin things in an effective role ir
the midst of a comparatively inexpensiveast. But impresarios, as wc
well know, never consider such trifles.
Doubtless tho Neapolitan old guard, the carabinieri of the rail, wil'
pipo a few gentlo plaints becauso "Aida" is not tho first opera. That
is set down for Wednesday evening, when certain new members of the
company will storm the Olympian heights of Metropolitan fame, am?
hope to have their names blown through the world by long Egyptian
trumpets in A flat and B natural (see score published by Ricordi).
Thursday night provides a Donizetti
Intermezzo, when Mmo. Ilempel,
greatly Americanized by war and mar
riage, will kiss the French flag In the
"Daughter of the rteglment." 'Friday
evening will be devoted to the rovlval
of Verdi's "La Forza. del Destino."
Repertories are seldom logical. If
Chronological significance had been
sought we should have had "La Forza
dol Destino" set down for Wednesday
and "Aida." for Friday, becauso it is
one of the immediate predecessors of
"Aida," having been produced in Pet
rograd in 1862.
It was made known to New Yorkers
"by Max Maretzek and It had Its last
previous hearings here at the Academy
of Music In the latter part of the sci
on of 1879-80. under the direction of
Col. J. H.,Mapleson. There is a singu
larly persistent tradition that there
were no "star" casts in this town till
Maurice Grau began to give them In
the famous days of "Les Huguenots,"
-with Nordlca, Melba or Sembrlch,
Mantel!!, the de Iteszkes, Plancon and
Scottl or Maurel.
As a matter of fact Col. Mapleson
gave "Aida" -with Octavia Torrlani,
AnnicLoulse Carey, Italo Campanlnl,
I Maurel and Nanettl. And when he
.brought forward "La Forza del Des
tino" the cast was composed of great
stars of that day who would have
loecn stars In this except the soprano.
Mine. Dotti, as she was known on the'
stage (Mrs. Swift In private life), wai
an Industrious singer of conventional
attainments. The others were Miss
Carey. Mr. Campanlnt. Mr. Galassl and
Mr. Del I'uente, tho last named the '
only real satisfying toreador the
present writer can recall.
. "Ln. Forza del Destino" will give the
essayists .full scopo for their powers
of original and enlightening observa
tion. In the Hrat place little or nothing
has been written about it since Us
Infancy. It slipped away Into obscu
rity when "Alda" burst upon an en
raptured world. It wan one of
' 'several opora.s composed ln a period
of reaction ln Verdi's artistic career.
"La Travlata" dates from 1S53, and
for eighteen years after that Verdi
produced no work of his first quality
nor any that achieved a signal success.
One writes perfunctorily the titles of
"I Vespri SIcilani" (1855), "Simon Boc
canegra" (1857), "Aroldo," n revision
of an earlier work (1857): "Un Hallo
ln Maschera" (1S!9). and "Don Carlos"
(1867). "Un Ballo ln Maschera" has
returned to the stage ln recent years
owing principally to the brilliant vocal
accomplishments of Messrs. Caruso
and Amato. No sincere lover of dpera
' Is doubtful aa to Its position ln the
scale o Verdi's creations.
"La Forza del Destino" will not be
discussed here In advance. Huchadls-
f curslon might easily come to lean too
heavily on' the record" of a bygone
period when musical judgments reatedj
upon lounaauuns ainerent irom tnose
occupied now. It may not bo ncccs
jrary to enter Into any profound exam
ination of the work after Its disclosure
on Friday night. The story of Verdi's
career lndicatea that the operas com
posed in the Interval between "La
Travlata,' a work In tho old style,
beautiful and expressive within the
limits of, that 'planner, and "Alda." a
magnificent plungo Into the ocean of
modern tone color, u splendid outburst
ofv.new found dramatic eloquence,
were the products of a mind which
wa' hoTerlng on the verge of new
visions while yet under tho spell of
alio pld. Its outlook was clouded, and
when the clarifying process had com
puted itself the grand old man of
Italy in all the glory of his renewed
otfength slrodo forth Into tho now day.
One thing may be said without hes
itation, namely, that anything made
yt' Verdi is worthy of our most serious
consideration. Ills poorest scores havo
comethtng good In them. He was al
ways clever If not always Inventive
and Jn the days when ho believed that
the methods and traditions of tho Nea
politan school, founded by Aiessandro
Scarlatti, wero equal to tho growing
demands of tho lyric drama ho had fa
cility, nervous energy and very often
melodic inspiration of a glowing kind.
"Wo shall see how much of theso are
in tho score of "La Forza del Destino.
Hrnnwhl!n tli. mnWIt.,
, , ui'ci.i-
oer will scrutlnlEO this score with
but ono end in view, to determine
whether It furnishes a field favorable
to. exercise of Mr. Caruso's voice. If
It does, Its restoration to tho reper
tory of tho living lyric drama is its
aurcd until Samson goes down with
the Philistines.
llany interesting Incidents may ho
Mtpicted in tho coming opcrn season,
jfe-vy operas hy unknown American
composer, for example, will invito
hopes and suggest fears. Out what a
ft ... .
v.r:11 D r?, A :
delightful surprise It would be If on
of these little operas turned out to be
the creation of a man who had somt
conception of the genltis of the English
language as a lyric medium.
It is amazing to some dense minds,
like that of The Sun's musical chron
icler, that the tongue in which Keats
wrote the lines about a Grecian urn,
Tennyson the songa in "The Princess"
and Swinburne the choruses ln "At
alanta In Calydon" (not to men
tion any others) should be found
wanting in musical quality. Eng
lish Is unslngable, declare the
wise ones. Curious that stupid
old Handel did not discover that
Important fact. And all those rldlcu
lous old fossils, the composers of the
ancient English airs so often heard at
song recitals "Sally in Our Ally,
"Nymphs and Shepherds," "The Lass
with the Delicate Air" and the rest
they did not know It either.
But you say you are talking not
about the music, but about the libretto,
Well, verily, it Is true that an opera
consists of libretto and music, and
some one must make a book of good,
poetic, singable English before a com
poser can make real music for it. Let
us hope that expectations will be real
ized and that we shall not have to re
solve ourselvea Into an audience of
Touchstones, eacb, murmuring, "Well,
it Is a poor thing, but our own."
There are numerous American sing
ers now In the company. The ancient
complaint that no American singer
could get an engagement at the Metro
politan no longer has any foundation.
The portraits of two who are to ap
pear ln the course of the first week
of the season are given herewith.
Others will bo published from time to
time, nnd meanwhile some record will
be made of their achievements. The
high patroness of the American colony
In the Metropolitan company Is Mme.
Homer, whose husband is one of the
downtrodden American composers
with songs on half a hundred recital
programmes. Mrs. Homer may pres
ently have a rival ln tho person of
Louise Homer No. 2, her daughter,
who Is also n singer with promise of
distinction.
But with Tlosa Poncelle, Alice Gen
tle (formerly with the unquenchable
Hammersteln), Margaret Romaine,
Mary Melllsh, Mary Ellis, Ttoa Eaton
and Carlo Hackett an American tenor
there Is a pretty promising list of
young American fingers. Meanwhile
the experienced observer of Metro
politan affairs may be permitted to
wait till he finds one of the inexperi
enced nmong these young Americans
basking In the glory of a principal
role. That will probably not happen
very soon, because the Metropolitan
Is not a kindergarten.
