This article focuses on the Metropolitan Opera season. Two events marked the opening of the Metropolitan Opera season: First the debut of Joseph Rosenstock, the new Wagnerian conductor, which resulted in a tragedy, and the revival of Puccini's "Girl of the Golden West." Second his reading of "Die Meistersinger" through his very rapid tempi, which frequently embarrassed the singers and muddled the delicate nuances of the orchestral picture. His fortes were at times over-torrential, yet lacking in depth and brilliance. The revival of Puccini's "Girl of the Golden West" has been, on the other hand, a genuine success.
