AT
ALL OE U. S.
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. Particu
larly In the lew-favored and mori
Isolated centers haa the movement
been received with enthusiasm, ac
cording to reports here.
