15The local première of Puccini's "Tosca" took place recently at Graz. The performance was a highly creditable one and the principal actors and Kapellmeister Weigmann were heartily applauded.
17The new season at Wiesbaden was inaugurated by a music festival, which consisted of six concerts given at the concert hall of the newly erected Kurhaus. The first concert introduced the Munich Royal Orchestra, under the direction of its conductor, Felix Mottl. The second evening brought the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, with Fritz Steinbach as the wielder of the baton. The third concert was given by the Wiesbaden Kur Orchestra, under the conductorship of Richard Strauss. The program of the fourth concert was devoted to the memory of Beethoven. The "Ninth" symphony was excellently played by the Kur Orchestra, under its regular leader, Afferni, a number of members of the Caecilien and Lehrergesangverein participating in the choral finale. The two last concerts belonged to the Munich Kaim Orchestra. G. Schnéevoigt conducted the fifth, Gustav Mahler the sixth concert.
