PHILADELPHIA (UP) Creation of national grand opera center la be ing perfected by the American Opera Guild. Carefully wrought design of the organisation will produce a national campaign to bring opera, forolgn and native, out of Its present aetttng and give It the place It deaervea aa an elevated and human form of art. According to these plana, many of which already have taken shape, an Important movement In the his tory of American music is under way. , The structure of the new society la somewhat analogous to that of the Theater Guild. Subsidiary groups will bo formed In nearly evory major city of the country, especially those which line tha Atlantlo coast. A group of Philadelphia artist. among whom are Koiun W. van Horn, Jan Hudlow, Dr. Walter Orlg altls, and Robert Bteel. are directing the ambitious venture. Bach work will be cast, costumed, and mounted here. In evory detail pertaining to the presentation of opera, the person nol will be com posed entirely of Americans. Bach member guild will bo set up by enrollment campaigns to be con ducted by officers In various cities. After the work haa been seen by .ne home-subscribers," it will go on th road. Thnte traveling productions wlb be complete in every respect. Includ ing orchestral and stage manage ment, chorus, costumes, scenery, and lightning. The keyword of the new movement li "American." The basic plan Is nt only to provide a permanent home for American opera, but also to Instill among Americans more sympahetle appreciation of Its meaning and at traction. One of the deeper objective, how ever, Is the establishment of a rutins homo for tho Guild In the form of a municipal opera house. This home will become tho acttvo center of the indigenous opera movement. In it will be established a praotlcai school where American artists of recognized ability will have the op portunity to present their work be fore a public. The Oulld wlli produce tho works of great composers of all countries. Modern, brilliant mountings and costumes will replace the sometimes drab Investiture sometimes Identified with operatic staging. In fact, the whole tone of the project la designed to sound out a new era In American music in per spective, tho plan appears as a long range program toward the establish ment of a permanent' and. national center for American musical expres sion. Already Its' potentialities as a stir ring force in American art have been felt in the cjtlos where membership campaigns are In progress.
