By JOHN H. RAFTERY.
After eight years in the diplomatic
dust-bin into •which it was dropped when
Kaiser Wilhelm with the German army
at bis back started in the general direc-
tion of Doom, Wagner's "Tannhauser"
was almost pompously disinterred last
evening at the Metropolitan Opera
House, and proved to be a far more gor-
geous and beguiling production than it
ever was in the pre-war days. The
touch of modernity, almost novelty, was
all over it. A new cast, new scenery,
fresh costumes and up-to-date arrange-
ments of the mise en scene, all helped
to lend the savor of freshness and the
atmosphere of novelty <to the revival.
There was a great and unusually at-
tentive audience, a congregation that ex-
tended beyond the classification "Wag-
nerian," music lovers who would love
the great Wagner operas if he had quit
after "Riensi" and "Die fliegende Hol-
lander," who would have loved "Tann-
hauser," its wonderful overture, the
Hymn to Venus, the exquisite septette,
the Song to the Evening Star and all of
the other vocol, orchestral and dramatic
glories which would have survived even
though there had never been a "Ring Will Emerge From Wings and Give
of the Niebelungen-' or that almost de-
nominational Bayreuth music-drama
"cult" which is called "The Wagner
movement."
J e r l t s a t h e Vea-Ll'ke E l l s a a e t a .
The role of Elisabeth lends itself to
those calm moods and moments of both
song and action in which, as many of
her critics and- admirers agree, Maria
iieritza is at her best. Sue sang with
fine poise, authority and repression and,
it seemed, there was a new and admir-
able dignity in her acting, notably in her
scenes with her forlorn hero and in the
suave deliberation of her saintly joy
upon Tannbauser's return. Mm*. Matr.-
onatier's Venus and Clarence Whitehili's
Wolfram were, probably, the crowning
achievements of a most creditable Per-
formance in which Curt Taucher's Tann-
hauser, Paul Bender's Landgraff and
George Mcader's Walther were substan-
tial, if not sensational, essentials.
Loveliest and most imaginative of all
th* scenes ifl Wagner's long list of dra-
matic* poems, the swift and almost spec-
tral trsnsirion from the gorgeous purlieus
of, the Venusberg to the peace and Pas-
toral beaut? of the Valley of Wartburg,
loomed last evening as a definite and yet
Unobtrusive contribution to both tbe
music and the drama of the opera: and
In this superiority pf stage craftsman-
ship, painting and suitability, the entire
performance was worthy of the enthu-
siasm which it aroused.
Orchestra Wlaa Maee Aaplaase.
The overture, as might have been ex-
pected, proved to be the orchestral fea-
ture, of the performance. It was played
With the musical and dramatic knowledge
of U*e composer's almost inescapable in-
tentions, as an illustrative synopsis and
glossary to tbe entire opera. Beginning
and ending with the Pilgrims' Chorus,
and beautifully indicating the three con-
trasted dramatic episodes of .the play,
Mr. Bodansky was able to derive a mas-
terly and 'memorable performance of the
overture. But there were places and
passage* in the development of the opera
fa wnlfh the orchestra seemed to get out
of hounds as to volume, temps and even
unison, inequalities the more apparent
because the "Tannbauser" score is more
close'y and sympathetically complement-
ary to, and interwoven with, the spirit
and meaning of tbe various songs and
scene* than almost say other opera, oven
of the great music-dramatist himself.
