BY EMILIE FRANCES BAUER.
EW YORK, July 10. (Special.) A
It would be difficult to imagine
any mora auspicious or brilliant
opening- than the summer niyht
concerts at the Lewisohn Sta
dium of New York whicn were in
augurated Saturday night under the
baton of Walter Henry Roth well,
who must have been deeply moved at
the ovation he received as he stepped,
to take his place at the head of the.
great orchestra which he had re
hearsed carefully lor the last week
or fo.
Mr. Rothwell is well remembered
in his capacity of symphony -conductor
from the series he directed at
Madison Square Garden, as he mad a
a aeep impression then, but on Sat
urday night it seemed as though,
everything conspired to make a glor
ious event out of his initial appear
ance and his personality as much as
his tremendous skill thrilled every
person in that vast stadium.
Seats at Premium.
Long- before the concert began there
was not a seat to be had and the
audience was brilliantly attired and,
sumptuous so far as personnel was
concerned. To the eye it was a bril
liant sight and as a musical event it
is only necessary to indicate the fact
that the great conductor bad ar
ranged a programme of catholic
tastes and one which offered as
soloist Rosa Ponselle, soprano of the
Metropolitan Opera house to indicate
its musical significance. Miss Pon
selle, imposing in appearance and
J full-throated as usual was heard in
J two arias, in one of which she has
already established her powers far
and wide, on the Metorpolitan stage.
This was the aria from Verdi's "II
Trovatore" and the other was "Elsa's
Dream" from "Lohengrin," sung In
English. Her Voice rang in all its
brilliancy from one end of the field
to the other and brought storms of
applause from music lovers of every
description.
It would be difficult to say in
which number Mr. Rothwell gained
his most enthusiastic applause be
cause from first to last the conductor
was made to feel the appreciation of
his presence. He is a master, indeed.
a past master of his art a musician
who feels within his innermost soul
the most poigrnant mission that he
has toward the art that he has em
braced. With the composer he vi
brates the creative forces, as inter
preter he reveals in the possibilities
of the instrument upon which he
plays and he has made already within
the short time he has had the men
under his control, a body upon which
he can vent his musical desires. He
obtained admirable results In -shadings,
dynamics and the finer, details
of orchestral effects in a programme
destined to suit all tastes. He opened
with a superlatively fine and finished
performance of Schuberts ever fa
vorite "Unfinished Symphony," . fol- -lowing
it with the no less popular
symphonic poem, "Lea Preludes," by
Liszt, which led to a climax in the
first part when Miss Ponselle gave
the Wagner number.
The intermission was the scene of
great outbursts of admiration and ex
pressions which floated forth all over
the grounds and could only be quieted
when the audience reassembled to
hear the prelude and love-death from
"Tristan and Isolde" in which pas
sionate and highly colored music Mr.
Rothwell might be said to excel, did
he not give such a superb account of
himself in music of evey style and
every school. This was apparent by
the brilliancy and the manner in
which he set the pulses flying In the
Ohabrier "Rhapsody Kspana," which
he played following Miss Ponselle's
next number and therewith closed the
programme.
The audience arose to cheer the
conductor, who never seemed more
modest or more happy because the
people were enjoying the music. More
than one present realized how the
east had lost this great man for the
benefit of the west, and the musical
public of Los Angeles was the cause
of true envy. Before the concert be
gan, Mr. Adolph Lewisohn spoke a
few words of welcome, asked that Mr.
La Uuardia be excused from the
promised address and that Walter
Kothwell needed no introduction.
Excellent Soloists in Concert .
A long list of extraordinary solo
ists includes in .the first week Vera
Baistow, who played the Bruch con
certo on Sunday night; Mary Jordan
the noted American contralto whor
sang "My Heart at Thy Sweet Voice"
from "s-'amson and Eelilah" and later;
Harry Burleigh's "eep River" and
Francisco di Nogero's "My Love Is a
Muleteer" on Monday evening; Nicola
Zcrola, in the tenor aria from "Pag
liacci" and in one from "Andre Che
nier" on Tuesday evening; Harold
Bauer in the Schumann concerto on
Wednesday evening; a Wagnerian
programme on Thursday evening, and.
Marguerite Fontrese on Friday eve
ning. The Manhattan opera house will be
reopened as an exclusive opera, house
September 6, when Fortune Uallo
will bring the San Carlo Grand Opera
company into a home fitting its am
bitions and endeavors. For some
years the great auditorium built by
the late Oscar Hammerstein has been
a source of genuine regret to those
old patrons who felt that this was
the most comfortable and most de
sirable home for grand opera avail
able anywhere. Its advantage over
the great Broadway temple of art
lies in the fact that it is built so
that the stage is visible from every
point in the house which unfortu
nately is not the case from the sides
which form the horseshoe of the Met
ropolitan. '
Mr. Uallo is reinforcing the orig
inal San Carlo Opera company with
a number of highly desirable and
attractive "guest" stars who will be
announced a little later. The or
chestra and chorus, too, will be re
inforced for the New York season of
four weeks, and the intrepid impres
ario will offer a number of works
which have never before been given
at popular prices. Among these semi
novelties are: "The Jewels of the
Madonna" by Wolf-Ferrari, Massenet's
"Thais," "Manon," "La Navarraise.'.'
"Louise," "Tales of Hoffman," "Tann
hauser" In English, "Lohengrin" In
English and "Salome" in the same
language. "Hansel and ifetel" and
"The Secret of Suzanne" are also
announced in English. There .will
be revivals in Italian of "Forxa dej
Destino," "La Gioconda." "I Puritani."
and in French, Gounod's "Romeo et
Juliette" as well as "Faust." Among
the more fretruently performed fa
vorites will be "Madam Butterfly,"
"La Boheme," "Tosca," "Aida," "Rigo
letto" and other favorites.
A discount of 10 per cent will be
allowed on all advance subscriptions.
I which will offset the war tax. There
will be a performance each night and
, a Saturday matinee in the subscrip
I tion series with - possible "extras"
Saturday nights or afternoons not
tspecif ied at this time.
