Chicago Opera in New York
Finck, Henry T. | February 21, 1918 issue

add to cart   close window

This article focuses on the performances of Chicago Opera Co. in New York City. The author feels that the monotony resulting from the exclusion of German composer Richard Wagner's operas from the repertory of the Metropolitan Opera House this season has been relieved to some extent by the visit of the Chicago Opera Co., which, during the last four weeks, drew many crowded audiences to the Lexington Theatre. This company is made up largely of singers surviving from Oscar Hammerstein's seasons at the Manhattan Opera House in New York, and the operas they sing are still mainly those with which, a decade or more ago, created sensations amongst audience.
