Advertitemsiit, By 1IER1KTTA M. REUS, TMS Is the gala week when 1 I Omaha will revel In four per l I formancM of grand oncra. given by an opera company which amazes wherever It goes by Its general . excellence. and at such reasonable prices that It seoms almost too good to be true. And such enthusiasm as the company evoked In St. Louis! Homer Moore of the Republic said of them: "Just how It has come about that Mr. Gallo has found so many singing actors and actresses cannot be stated, but it seems as if every artist In his company has unusual histrionio talent, and has It in a state of high and con sistent development." Our chances to hear grand opera-well done are so few and far between that when we do have the opportunity we should make the most of it. Opera Is a form of art all by Itself, combining as it does music, poetry and scenic art, to say nothing of the art of Interpretation In many lines, both musical and dramatic, which are - necessary for Its successful reproduction. It Is Interesting to see how the various components of Its structure are fitted to each other, each art serving to vivify the other, and interpreted by many instruments and people. It Is mors Interesting ti see how the story, en hanced by the music, . affects one indi vidually. To some it Is Interesting to note which Instruments in the orchestra are used to depict certain moods or senti ments. Others revel In the singing and others in the dramatic interpretations. There is so much of interest both to see and hear. The company does not advertise any special stars, but from the abundance of discriminating pralee which has been heaped upon the leading singers and Chevalier Angelinl, who conducts with out score, one is incline! to the belief that they would be safe In doing so. The operas to be presented In Omaha are standard operas, which have been ac cepted and are kuown to be worthy, of which much has already been written. In the coming performances we shall probably have an opera that Is not only cultural, educational, elevating and all the rest of that, but which will be enter taining as well an operating treat which Is a financial treat also, nvinn . .- generously low prices set by the Arab 1'atrol of the Shrine.-who are entertain ing their ladles ana allowing the publlo to also enjoy the entertainment, an op portunity which should be appreciated to the utmost And still they come. Omaha's musi cally prodlcal daughters ate all return ing. For sime time they have been re velling in the tonal feasts and rich bar monies found in the muaical atmosphere of Europe until forced to h. .h,.nu. of blighted concert tourj and Interrupted eaauus caused ny the war, so they are coming back to their home city to a royal welcome from friends, and fam ilies, and to eat the fatted (?) calf of local recitals and teaching for a time at least. Many of them have already been welcomed and acclimated, two more will be heard In recital this week, and there are more to follow. Among the latest arrivals are MWa Frances Nash an d Miss Corinne Taulson, both of whom were favorably known for their musical activities before thev went i Europe.
