. J - "! THE OREGON SUNDAY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, SUNDAY MORNING, JUNE 14. 1914. "KING LEAR" WILL BE GIVEN BY STUDENTS AT UNIVERSITY OF OREGON MONDAY NIGHT ,r :' : : f By J. L. W. I How would It be for Portland to have a grand opera company of its own? Heattle organised . one last season with such su&es that bigger thing are to be attempted, ac cording to Mme. Hesso Sprotte. .who waa In Portland during the week attending the . Northwest Muale Teachers' con vention, and who ha a the direction of the Seattle organization. Mme. Sprotte la a- contralto of wide grand opera experience in Germany and when aha came to Seattle a short time ago, agreed to direct the production of grand opera there with local talent; "What do you consider the prospects for a local grand opera company in Portland?" Mme. Sprotte waa asked. "Portland,"- she answered enthusi astically, "could have its own company for, let us say, a season of four weeks each winter. ' In Seattle we met with great success In spite of the consider able expense for costumes for the principals and chorus and special scenery. We are going to put on throe or ' four operas' next aeaaon and have already commenced studying the parts. "All of the talent may be termed amatatfrs, that la to say the singers last season were not voice teachers, but advanced students, and they en tered the work with a will that was quite surprising. Friends of mine, severe critics, who would absolutely tell me the unvarnished truth, per sona of broad education who have traveled in Kurope and beard grand opera at the leading musical centers, declared the chorus better than they had seen at some Of the leading Euro pean opera houses. "And when we pause to reflect a moment It is quite natural, for these people are Interested In their work and anxious to see it go right. "We have some splendid voices in Seattle, and I am sure you have as many In Portland. Our plans for njext season are to produce 'Faust,' 'Haensel and Oretel,' 'Trovatore,' and possibly Lohengrin' and 'The Merry Wives of Windsor.' That is an opera that has been heard very little out here and it is a beautiful work. Another opera that I would like to see staged is 'Thi Flying Dutchman.' Possibly we may put on a Puccini work. "Of course. It costs money to stage grand opera. In the first place you have to get the music. That Is quite expensive. Then sometimes there are royalties to be paid, and many other incidental expenses that run into money rapidly. But we find It worth the while in Seattle and our next sea son gives promise of being a most suc cessful one. By having the. perform ers and the ballet begin to study their parts now. the rehearsing will be much simplified. My husband, who has had many years' experience In Europe, Is the stage director." Organisation of a grand opera com pany here has been thought of and discussed in a small way before, but never with any definite result towards action, but since a number of people who could lend such a movement strong hacking have spoken favorably of it, It is regarded quite possible that in the very near future the matter will he taken up seriously. One thing that stands in the way in Seattle, at pres ent, it was pointed out by Mme. Sprotte and others from there, among them W. Clifford Kantner, is the lack of a public auditorium or a theatre suf ficiently large to house enough people to make a performance financially profitable except at comparatively high prtoes of admittance. In this respect, Portland Is more favorably situated. In that steps have been taken towards ' an auditorium. As for vocalists, Portland has an , abundance of material, both profes sionals and advanced students, not a few of them equal to some of the best artists on tour, and as for a creditable orchestra, Portland stands prepared to furnish It on short notice. w w Tha following musical program will be given at the Rose City Park Presby terian church.

Several new members prominent in the profession were enrolled. In the past active membership has been open to any, muslo teacher. This will not be the case in the future, for a committee composed of the board of directors, was Instructed to com pletely revise the organization's con stitution. One of the main reasons for this, it developed In the discussion, is to so arrange that henceforth muslo teachers will be admitted to active membership upon invitation only from the membership committee, and not upon application. In addition thereto the candidate will probably be asked to pass an examination. The crowninjr feature of the conven tion was perhaps the banquet at Mult nomah hoted, attended by about 60 members and a few invited guests. Colonel C. E. S. Wood acted as toast- master, and speeches were given by Commissioner W. L. Brewster, Miss Lucy K. Cole of Seattle, John Gill. Frank Branch Riley. Ralph W. Hoyt, Dr. C. H. Chapman, Mrs. Warren E.
