Fashionable folks are return ing from mountain resorts singers are returning from abroad, and, right on the heels, of summer, we chronicle the good new? . that, the Chicago Opera association is now ready to start its annual fall tour. Music lovers are thrilled with the prospect of two nights of opera in Omaha. "Aida" and "La Boheme" are to be given here in October. "Aida" has been knowri to opera goers for over half a century, and still stands out as one of the great est' lyric dramas ever penned. Its arias and instrumental numbers are known to all classes of music loving people. As for "La Boheme," noth ing since the time of "Aida" has equalled it in the history of Italian music. It is considered by critics and the Italians at large that Puc cini has written his master-piece in this popular opera. Slender in story. but strong in melody "La Boheme" has gained a permanent .place in musical history. ' ' In presenting these popular operas Mr. Campanini is giving each one a cast tfiat will be unsurpassed. In "Aida" such sterling as Rost Raisa, Sophie Braslau, Alessandio Doki and Jeorges Baklanorl in the-prin-cipal roles. whatmore could.be asked? It is doubtful' that even Chi- f cago and New York have been able to boast of more. Witn nonet, Gluck. Rimini, Sharlow in "La Bo heme" here is a music feast fit for the gods themselves. The company will carry its latest and newest scenery, and the chorus and orchestra will not be cut in any manner. From all over the state music lov ers will come to participate in the festivities and enjoy the music of opera. Omaha people are planning their entertainments and inviting their guests; neighbors from Nebras ka's smaller cities are making great preparations for the gala occasion.
