37Lorenzo Perosi's oratorio, "The Resurrection of Lazarus," which had a fiasco at its first performance at the Royal Opera here some years ago, was resuscitated by Hans Pfitzner at the West Side Opera (Theater des Westens) Friday night. The weaknesses of the work were more apparent this time than ever before. The celebrated Abbé is a prolific composer, and as he enjoys the friendship of the Pope, the musical world no doubt will continue to hear of him. Undoubtedly Perosi has made progress, but there is only one legitimate place to which this "Lazarus" should be consigned, and that is oblivion.

127The Coming of Ysaye.
128THE coming of Ysaye to this country next season is an event which has already created unusual interest in musical circles throughout the country. Musical societies and clubs, speculating managers, &c., are already negotiating with R. E. Johnston, the manager of the Ysaye tour, and who, by the way, brings this great artist here for the third time. Ysaye returns to America under a contract to play fifty concerts. Twenty-three of these fifty concerts are already arranged for. The Boston Symphony Orchestra has engaged Ysaye for seven concerts.
130Mr. Johnston says the probabilities are Ysaye will play 100 concerts before he ends his American season, which will be about June 1, 1905, at San Francisco. Immediately after that Ysaye will embark for Australia, where he is engaged to give concerts during the months of July and August, 1905.
132Ysaye's Australian tour will also be under the management of R. E. Johnston.
