OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS at nW OF CITY'S MUSICAL GENIUS If Philadelphia Takes Kindly to New Grand Opera Company Suc cess Is Assured Impresario Rosenbach Promises a Group of European Principals and Big Chorus SVEaroSTQ IJBrKJER-PmLADEIJ?HLC THUB6DAY, OCTOBBB ), Ml By M'USS r' rillLADpU'HIA"' takes kindly to Its ntw Tand opera company which Ii now tn the) process of onranlsatlon. nnd which will present tts first opera. MarchetH's "lluy Bin," oh December 19 at th Academy of Htulo, the rath to Rlory and to fame of any Incipient Homers, or Pamirs, or Tet ratilnls will bo Immeasurably smoothed and no cenlus which falls to maturo will have the excuse of lack of opportunity. In the hectlo atmosphere of the opera head quarters at 03J Walnut street, with the Im presario bustlnc around In circles and Rot ting; In the way of rcrubwomen and the director limp and exhausted from trylntr to attune ms ear 10 mo voices or hundreds ef operatic aspirants, I learned that an operatic school to be run In conjunction With the company and to which promising pupils will bo admitted irratl a a part of the biff scheme that tho Bponsors of the ercanlratlon are contemplating. EUitorEAN mitt-hod followed This Is tho way they do things In Ku rope. Impresario William Ilosenbach told me, and this Is tho reason so many good sinters como out of Europe. They do not spend fruitless days and years trying to get an opportunity that costs money. If they hare genius, It's a national, or, at least, a municipal affair: they don't worry. They ttng to ths Mayor or his musical aid, or somebody, nnd ho docs tho rest. "Thero la plenty of talent In Philadel phia," this Jlttlo man with tho big purpose said. "What wo are trylnR to do, what wa are going to do. If all goes well. Is to es tablish a permanent opera company In this city. It will become an Institution. A school will bocoms a certainty. Then young rcen and young women with good voices will have a chance. Wo will teach them for nothing. "Philadelphia Is one of the most musically Inclined cities In tho world. Hut It costs too much to hear good music here. Tho middle class cannot afford to pay ft or J3 tor seats. They havo to go without The new cpera company has four backers, two New Yorkers and two Plitladelphlans big men who aro not afraid to tnlto n chance. We are going to give Philadelphia tho best and. chargo the least that we can $2 for the tnost cxpenslvo scats and GO cents for the cheapest ones. Wo don't expoct to make Urge profits; we'll be gratified If we can pay expenses the first year and tve'lt count It worth our whllo to have worked If wo can establish a permanent opera company here which will become an Important and necessary factor In tho Ilfo of tho com munity." ITALIAN PRINCIPALS Ester Forablnl, tho soprano ; Knrlco Men- iteptno, the tenor, and a coterie of other well-known prima donnas nnd masculine operatic heavyweights Imported from Italy, ESTER FEIMUINI Dramatis Soprano. constitute tho principals. The chorus Is being picked from New York and Philadel phia. Ettore Martini, of Bteel Pier, Atlantlo City fame, and a composer of operas, too, la the director. For the last few days ho has been busily engaged In dashing tha dreams of many a maid and raising the hopes of many another. Ho has been se lecting tho chorus. "There are so many good voices here." ho told mo, with his hands as well as with his tongue, "but there Is much bad training that must be undone. Tho Italians, they do not sing so much with their throats. That Is bad. The Americans they use the throat too much. But there will be no trouble getting a good chorus. We shall have to turn many singers away." And then, because getting an opera com pany Is something of a large-sized Job, he ran away and put his head together with tho Iron-gray one of Impresario lloscnbach, and Mr. Alexander, tho manager, seeing they wero up to something, ran away, too, to get hlo head together with theirs, and alto gether a buxom blonde 'with champagne shoes nnd picture hat,- who woro an air of wanting nwfully to havo her voles tried nnd a tragic young man with a Hamlet ex pression, who seemed Imbued with the same desire, had to sit on tho wooden bench and gaio at Die piano for an Interminable time, only to be told in tho long run that voices aro tried In tho morning. It Is thus, that operas are organized.
