On tl.e other hand, Verdi's "Don Carlos," which will he riven for the first time fit this opera house, with Giovanni Martinelli in the title rôle, willl be practicaly a novelty to New Yorkers. It -.-..;.. given once in the '70s, at the Academy of Music, duijing the last days of Maretzck's régime. This was the last opera composed "by Verdi before he took the musical world by storm with "Aída." The work is in four acts, the libretto by Mery and du having (been reproduced from Fchiller's tragedy of the same title as the opera. The Story of "Oon Carlos" The characters are Philip II of Spain, bass; Don Garlos, his son, tenor; Ro¬ go, Marquis de l'osa, barytone; Inquisitor, bass; El'zabeth de Valois, Queen of Philip II and step- - :¦. Di n (arios, soprano; Princess iiboii, soprano. In, the original produc- n the line role of Koderigo was taken by Kaure. Don Carlos and Elizabeth de Valois have been in love with each other, but for reasons of state Elizabeth has been b ;;-¦ il to marry Philip, II, father of Don ('arlos. The son is counselled by Roderigo to absent himself from Span: by obtaining from his father a commis¬ sion to Ero t the Netherlands, there to mitigate the cruelties practiced by the Spaniards upon the Flemings. Don Carlos seeks an audience with Elizabeth in order to gain her intercession with Philip. The result, however, of the meeting is that their passion for each, other returns with even greater inten¬ sity than before.

Marinuzzi's Opera "Jacquerio" has already been sung in Rome and Buenos Ayres. The opera is laid in loó?, a year of revolution -in Normandy, which became known ii tory as La Jacquerie. The immed causes of the peasants' outbreak were the cruelty and excessive demands made by the feudal lords through their bail¬ iffs. This revolution commenced on the day of Corpus Domini, 1857, and within n few weeks spread from the Somme to the Loire.

At the head of the revolt was a "casant, Guillaume Charlet, who took as lis nom de guerre that of Jacques Bonhomme. This name was soon applied 0 all the peasants, and chroniclers of he period refer to him as "Kins of the Jacques." Hence the name of the revo¬ lution. The story of the libretto, borrowed by A. Donaudy from Eugene Sue, deals with the sorrows and adventures ol Mazurec, a Norman peasant, who, be cause of hi"* kindness, was known a: "The Lamb." When the action opens the people an joyously celebrating the coming nuptial of Mazurec* and Isaura. Hut the erne lord of the castle. Count Comido d Mointel, demands his right of monetär; payment, exacted of every man who doc not wish his sweetheart to become th property of the lord of the manor. Th count himself is about to be marrie to Glorianda de Chicry. In honor of tli event ho decrees an amnesty, whic consist in payments being accepted fo offences committed and a pardo granted upon financial considérât ioi Mazurec, with Isaura-'s father, hasten o the palace with their offering. Bi they are poor. Th«' tribute money n enough, and while others can affoi o buy clemency they are forced to loa\ saura in the count's clutches. After many indignities Isaura is give ¦ack to Mazurec, but only to die. II« over swears vengeance. As leader of tl cvolting peasants he burns the Count ustle and takes Glorianda prisoner. Ii to.ul of subjecting the Count's b rothed, however, to the sufferings th, o fell Isaura, Mazurec is softened by h :. feat ¡es a nd he pa i: ion of his dei lethrothed which appears before hii Following the beckoning visions, nounts the steps nC the castle and di appears amid the flames, while the pe le chant the hymn of liberty. Prokofieff's Fairy Opera "Love for Three Oranges" is bas on tin Italian fairy story by Gottzi, co vi rted by ProkofiefT into a Russi opera*, which has been translated it' French by Miss Vera Janacopulos. The three oranges are throe princes! ¡imprisoned in the fruit by a sorcere i"he princeSses ;.re s «ueht by *" prince who suiters from hy] :hondria. Nothing can induce to laugh. Wrestling matches s masquerades arranged for his amu ment only cause him to burst ¡i tears. But one day his mirth is aroui at^thc sight of the sorcerers, F Morgana, tun ing an involuntary som xi indignant sorceress pi undoing and condemns him to love three oranges. Disregarding the app - father and the courtiers, he s out in quest of them. On bis adventu me 'I s a cook, n magician and a «te till three akin to characters in Alice in Wonderland. At length he finds the three oranges^ but it has been decreed that the im¬ prisoned princesses can only be released if the fruit is opened at the water's edge, and neither river nor oasis is at hand. The prince's attendant, over- come by his own thirst, cuts open two of the oranges and the princesses are released, only to die of thirst. The prince himself opens the third orange, and this princess, with whom he im- ' mediately falls in love, is saved by the intervention of onlookers, who watch the performance f;**m each side of the stage, as in "Le Coq d'Or." These on¬ lookers include personages styled by the author the Tragics, the Comics, the Lyrics, the Ridicules and the Empty Heads. Scenery and costumes for this production have been designed by Boris Anisfeld. "Edipo Re" is based on the Greek tragedy by the same name. , Mr. Rulfo will create the title rôle. Among the rivals announced for the New York season is Strauss'.-. "Salome" with Mary Garden and Lucien Mura- tore. Others are: Italian ."Orfeo," "La Favorita." "An- drea Chenier'' and "Jewels of the Ma¬ donna." French "Lakme" and "Tales of Hoff mann." English."Lohengrin," "Die Walküre' and "Tristan and Isolde." The regular repertoire will be se¬ lected from: French- "Faust." "Manon," "Cal¬ men," "Thais," "Romeo and Juliet.' "Le Cher.vineau,'' "Monna Vanna", am "Cleopatre." Italian."Barber of Seville," "La Son nambula," "Falstaff," "Rigoletto," "Li Gioconda,'' "Cavalleria Rusticana,' "Madam Butterfly," "Linda di Chamou nix," "Don Pasquale," "Aida," "Tin Masked Ball," "L'Amore dei Tre Re,' "Tosca," "I! Trovatore," "Luci di Lam mormoor," "Norma," "La Traviata, "L'Elisir d'Amore," "I Pagliacci," "L: Boheme," "Puccini's Trittico," "Il Ta h'"'*-o." "Suor Angelica" and "Giann Schicchi." A number of new singers have bee' added to the personnel of the com pany. In the reign of Napoleon I the pos of Superintendent of the Opera, whic had been abolished during the révolu tion as a relic of aristocratic affecta tion. was restored. According to C Touchard-Lafosse, in Chroniques d L'Opera, 1667-1845, M. de Lucay, re cently appointed First Prefect of th Palace, sent out the following appeal: r(!eal Opera Singer During the Empir« "Singers with firm voices are wanted All who present themselves, for en gagement must understand music ani be able to read at sight easily. Ap plicants must not be more than twenty five years old or less than eighteci years old. Height must not be les than five feet two inches, unless th voice ¡s a superb one. in that cas the height will not be so strictly takei into consideration. An agreeable fue- is of the first importance. Applicant must belofig to respectable familie and show that they have had sorm schooling. They must not have de feet ¡ve vision. They must possess full set of teeth." Qualifications for admission to mod ern opera houses are, fortunately, no so exacting. New .Members of the Company Heading the list new singers wh will appear with this organization i the Scotch tenor, Joseph Hislop, wh has had a romantic career and v. a highly praised by the London près when he sang for the first time a 'event Garden recently. Mr, Hislop began life as a painte who nursed secret ambitions for a operatic career. While painting i Sweden he married the daughter c the richest baker of the three king doms, Norway, Sweden and Denmarl After his marriage he devoted mos of his time to acquiring a large repei toir- of operatic rôles m Swedish.

marauders who burned, murdered andlestroyed whatever crossed their _>ath.At the head of the revolt was a

"casant, Guillaume Charlet, who took aslis nom de guerre that of JacquesBonhomme. This name was soon applied0 all the peasants, and chroniclers ofhe period refer to him as "Kins of theJacques." Hence the name of the revo¬lution.

The story of the libretto, borrowedby A. Donaudy from Eugene Sue, dealswith the sorrows and adventures olMazurec, a Norman peasant, who, because of hi"* kindness, was known a:"The Lamb."When the action opens the people an

joyously celebrating the coming nuptialof Mazurec* and Isaura. Hut the ernelord of the castle. Count Comido dMointel, demands his right of monetär;payment, exacted of every man who docnot wish his sweetheart to become thproperty of the lord of the manor. Thcount himself is about to be marrieto Glorianda de Chicry. In honor of tlievent ho decrees an amnesty, whicconsist in payments being accepted fooffences committed and a pardogranted upon financial considérât ioiMazurec, with Isaura-'s father, hasteno the palace with their offering. Bithey are poor. Th«' tribute moneyn enough, and while others can affoio buy clemency they are forced to loa\saura in the count's clutches.After many indignities Isaura is give

¦ack to Mazurec, but only to die. II«over swears vengeance. As leader of tlcvolting peasants he burns the Countustle and takes Glorianda prisoner. Iito.ul of subjecting the Count's brothed, however, to the sufferings th,o fell Isaura, Mazurec is softened by h:. feat ¡es a nd he a¡ pa i: ion of his deilethrothed which appears before hiiFollowing the beckoning visions,nounts the steps nC the castle and diappears amid the flames, while the pele chant the hymn of liberty.

Prokofieff's Fairy Opera"Love for Three Oranges" is bas

on tin Italian fairy story by Gottzi, covi rted by ProkofiefT into a Russiopera*, which has been translated it'French by Miss Vera Janacopulos.The three oranges are throe princes!

¡imprisoned in the fruit by a sorcerei"he princeSses ;.re s «ueht by*"prince who suiters from hy]:hondria. Nothing can induceto laugh. Wrestling matches smasquerades arranged for his amument only cause him to burst ¡itears. But one day his mirth is arouiat^thc sight of the sorcerers, FMorgana, tun ing an involuntary som

xi indignant sorceress piundoing and condemns him to lovethree oranges. Disregarding the app

- father and the courtiers, he sout in quest of them. On bis adventu

me 'I s a cook, n magician and a «te

till three akin to characters in Alice inWonderland.At length he finds the three oranges^

but it has been decreed that the im¬prisoned princesses can only be releasedif the fruit is opened at the water'sedge, and neither river nor oasis is athand. The prince's attendant, over-

come by his own thirst, cuts open twoof the oranges and the princesses are

released, only to die of thirst. Theprince himself opens the third orange,and this princess, with whom he im-

' mediately falls in love, is saved by theintervention of onlookers, who watchthe performance f;**m each side of thestage, as in "Le Coq d'Or." These on¬

lookers include personages styled bythe author the Tragics, the Comics,the Lyrics, the Ridicules and theEmpty Heads. Scenery and costumesfor this production have been designedby Boris Anisfeld."Edipo Re" is based on the Greek

tragedy by the same name. ,

Mr. Rulfo will create the title rôle.Among the rivals announced for the

New York season is Strauss'.-. "Salome"with Mary Garden and Lucien Mura-tore. Others are:

Italian ."Orfeo," "La Favorita." "An-drea Chenier'' and "Jewels of the Ma¬donna."

French "Lakme" and "Tales of Hoffmann."English."Lohengrin," "Die Walküre'

and "Tristan and Isolde."The regular repertoire will be se¬

lected from:French- "Faust." "Manon," "Cal¬

men," "Thais," "Romeo and Juliet.'"Le Cher.vineau,'' "Monna Vanna", am"Cleopatre."

Italian."Barber of Seville," "La Sonnambula," "Falstaff," "Rigoletto," "LiGioconda,'' "Cavalleria Rusticana,'"Madam Butterfly," "Linda di Chamounix," "Don Pasquale," "Aida," "TinMasked Ball," "L'Amore dei Tre Re,'"Tosca," "I! Trovatore," "Luci di Lammormoor," "Norma," "La Traviata,"L'Elisir d'Amore," "I Pagliacci," "L:Boheme," "Puccini's Trittico," "Il Tah'"'*-o." "Suor Angelica" and "GiannSchicchi."A number of new singers have bee'

added to the personnel of the com

pany.In the reign of Napoleon I the pos

of Superintendent of the Opera, whichad been abolished during the révolution as a relic of aristocratic affectation. was restored. According to CTouchard-Lafosse, in Chroniques dL'Opera, 1667-1845, M. de Lucay, re

cently appointed First Prefect of thPalace, sent out the following appeal:r(!eal Opera Singer During the Empir«"Singers with firm voices are wanted
