"SAMSON AND DELILAH" SURPRISES
NEW YORK WITH ITS BRILLIANCY
Reception for Opening: Opera of 1915-1916 Season Is Described by Emilie Frances Bauer as Most Enthusiastic.
Caruso Is Effective Particularly in Scene When Blind and Shorn of Love and Power.
BT EMII.E FRANCES BAUER.
IN'
EW YORK. Nov. 20. (Special.)
While it was not easy to under
stand the reason that "Samson
and Delilah" was selected as the open
ing opera of the season of 1915-16, it
was Justified by the surpassing; bril
liancy of the production and by the en
thusiasm witb which it waa received.
That Caruso was heard for the first
time in the role of Samson waa re
sponsible for much of the Interest, and
there wa huge delight for the audience
which filled every inch of space avail
able in the powerful Delilah, of Mine.
Matzenauer, whose voice has never
seemed more beautiful or more wieldy
throughout.
Nor did this audience leave Polacco
long in doubt as to where be stood in
the estimation of the New York public
It was soon obvious that he was in
every respect a worthy successor to
Toscanlaa, who as all know, was not
only an idol, musically speaking, but
he came under the bead of the "prima
donna" conductor: sometimes it is bet
ter for thi all-important post to be
filled by a man who has as much re
spect for the singer as for the or
chestra, and in this particular Polacco
showed his mastery of the situation.
He succeeded in bringing out tbe
beauties of the great Saint Saens score,
and he Infused warmth, color and su
preme Interest Into every measure.
It sounded fresh and it seemed as
though no one had ever made it more
thoroughly operatic than Polacco, as it
comes dangerously near the oratorio
style, and It required the combined ef
forts of the stage and the beautiful or
chestra, which has long been the pride
of the Metropolitan, to keep It out ol
the more severe lines.

larly effective was his last act, when.
blind and shorn of love ana oi nis
power, betrayed into the hands of the
enemy, he mages nis supreme tumi
and brings upon himself and upon
those within annihilation. I ne great
Italian tenor, never so completely at
home in French as in his own language,
still succeeded, in making his hearers
forget that he had a handicap of any
sort, as his voice was full of beauty,
resonant and clear, and his histrionic
treatment of the part had a power
beyond that of most interpreters of
this role.
He seemed to appreciate tne inspira
tion offered by the extraordinary pow
ers of Mme. Matzenauer, who well nigh
c-l iran tic in stature and almost swartny
in appearance, brought significance to
her role even outside of the great mas
tery of her voice, which dominated tbe
entire nerformance. She was more than
a regal Delilah she was imperial and

at the Metropolitan, when the artists
from the opera will be Anna Case

conducting "II Trovatore." The singers
were Mmes. Rappold and Ober, MM.

There was a larue list of disap
pointed concert-goers Sunday afternoon
when Madame Kurt was unable to ap
pear at the Philharmonic concert as
announced. It was stated that the
cause of her absence was due to her
press of work on account of the open
ing week of the opera. In view of the
fact that Madame Kurt was not due to
sing a new role, nor was she announced
for a date before Thursday night, it
seems too bad that Mr. Stransky's ar
rangements were compelled to be dis
turbed. The conceit was given with
out soloists, and included Dvorak's
"Fourth Symphony," Wagner's "Sieg
fried Idyll," Tschaikowsky's "Romeo
and Juliet," Grieg's "Elegiac Melodies."
and LUszt's "Tasso."

Returning to the outlook at the Met
ropolitan for tl.e coming season, it will
be remembered that the season will be
longer this year by four weeks than
most of the seasons in the past. These
last four weeks will be occupied by the
Russian Ballet, of which brilliant
things are expected. So far as novel
ties are concerned, there seem to be
but three announced as yet. Ono of
these is Borodin's "Prince Igor," which
was announced for last season, but was
not given. Madame Alda is to have
the principal role.
Anothsr complete novelty will be the
opera "Goyescas," by Enrique Granados,
whose piano works have been played
in New York by Ernest Schelling. and
earlier by Harold Bauer. Songs by the
same composer have been sung by
Emilio do Gogorza. Bizet's "Les
Decheurs de Perles" is another novelty
of which two act were performed for
one time at tbj Metropolitan.
The list of novelties is small this sea
son on account of the unusual difficul
ties confronting the management in
every direction. The standard reper
tory will have to be restudied in a cer
tain sense on account or tne new con
ductors and on account of a number of
new artisis. Outside of this fact it has
been no easy matter to obtain novelties
or to make new productions with con
ditions as they are in Europe.
Leon Bakst, whose name has become
world-wide since the day of vivid, lurid
coloring, will arrive in New York next
week. The great colorist and designer
will prepare the settings and costumes
for the Imperial Russian Ballet to ap
pear at the Metropolitan during the last
four weeks of this season, and it is
understood that hef has been engaged
by several of the theatrical firms.
There will be exhibitions of his work
held in several of the New lorK gal
leries. a
Gabrilowitsch and Godowsky were
true rivals Saturdav afternoon, when
the former played to the capacity of
Aeolian Hall a complete Beethoven pro
gramme in t. e second concert of his
series of historical recitals, and Go
dowsky playeu r complete Chopin pro
gramme in the second recital brought
about by the sensational reception ac
corded him ct Aeolian Hall in October.
There wero more than 100 people on
the stage at Aeolian Hall, and many
were turned away. Godowsky played
at Carnegie Hall, which, of course, ac
commodates many ivore than the other
house, and the audience which heard
him almost filled that auditorium. Both
artists played superlatively well.

Desider Vecset, a young Hungarian
pianist 'ho gave a highly successful
recital at Aeolian Hal. early this week.
must have a psychic sense of being at
the right place at the right time. The
day before his concert he went to call
upon the Rev. John T. Prout, rector of
St. John's Church. When he arrived
there he found thit a wedding cere
mony was being performed and the or
ganist of the church had been detained.
The reverend icther asked Mr. Vecsei
to officiate at th organ and play the
wedding march, which he did. Singu
larly enough, the time before when he
called upon the same father, he was
holding a funeral service, and in the
absence of tt e organist Mr. Vecsei also
played this service.

the Diaghilew dancers, will figuro

Schoenberg, who has been heard in
New York in his more modified and
exquisitely beautiful sextet presented
by the Kneisels and assistants, and also
in his more fierce attitude of mind as
heard in the quartet played by the
Flunzaleys last season, will appear as

the symphonic poem "Pelleas and Meli
