1led by Maestro Edvaro Mascheroni, while the chorus of sixty voices is under the tuition of Maestro G. B. Zorzato.
3The opera selected for the fall opening at Vicenza is "Mefistofele."
5"L'Amico Fritz" inaugurated the new opera season of Conegliano, Italy.
7The Teatro Quirino, of Rome, opened its doors with a performance of "Carmen."
9"Ivano," a new opera in one act by Fortunato Ceriani, was recently given a first production at the Genoa Alfieri Theater.
11A first production of Mario Tarenghi's one act opera, "Gara Antica" ("Old Rivalry"), was recently presented at the Biella Teatro Sociale, Italy.
13The operatic season of Buenos Ayres, just finished, was most unsatisfactory as to artists and repertory. Bassi and Rousselière, tenors, and Maria Farneti, were about the only ones who met with public favor. The impresario was not discouraged though, and Milan will soon see him for the purpose of forming a new company, as he has renewed his contract with the Buenos Ayres Opera for three years.
15"Linda" and "Trovatore" are the operas selected for the initiation of the impending opera stagione at Empoli, Italy.
17Perosi's "Messe Pontificale" was recently given at the Notre Dame, of Rennes, France, on the occasion of the Assumption celebration, under the direction of the organist and composer, C. A. Collins.
19The first performance of Puccini's "Butterfly," at the Teatro del Giglio, of Lucca, under the composer's own supervision and under Mugnone's direction, was a great success, Puccini receiving an ovation, and as many as twenty recalls in this, his native town. All the performers were successful and many notabilities, both musical and political, were present.
21The opera season at Bologna opens October 4 at the Teatro del Corso. Among the first performances to be given are "Lohengrin," "Les Contes d'Hoffmann," and "Boheme." "La Gioconda" probably will be presented somewhat later. Maestro Mascheroni has been chosen as musical conductor of the stagione.
23The season at Arcachon has been a very brilliant one. A new work which was produced at the Casino not long ago obtained a fine success. The novelty was "Le Mariage d'Arlequin" ("The Marriage of the Harlequin"). It is a pantomime, with but two persons. The action of the playlet was conceived by M. Masset, and Gaston Sarreau, the gifted composer from Bordeaux, wrote the score to it.
25The Town Council of Mannheim resolved recently to change the name of the former Gasfabrikstrasse to Emil Heckelstrasse in honor of Emil Heckel, sheet music and instrument dealer of that city. Heckel, Sr., was among the first to recognize the genius of Wagner, and thanks to the former's untiring efforts, Mannheim can claim the distinction of having brought Wagner's works before the public at a time when elsewhere they were ridiculed and maligned.
