Abstract

Music
Straus, Henrietta | July 6, 1927 issue

add to cart   close window

The article presents information on music. If a cat may look at a king, surely a music critic may look at a Theater Exhibition. And certainly the one just opened at Magdeburg-- the most complete of its kind ever attempted-- drives home a few homely truths about operatic production. For instance, one follows the German theater from its birth in the medieval church to its present-day return; and sees its development from the crude naivete of the first to the sophisticated simplicity of the second. On the way one passes the mass of detail that gradually accumulated with the invention of scenic devices, only to be again discarded as lighting takes the place of literal fact.
