CHICAGO OPERA
There has been a rei>ort circniating both in Chicago and New York to the effect that the New York seas>in of the Chicago 0|>era Associa¬ tion, which begins January 22, would be played at the old Academy of Music, In the past fa¬ mous for many years as the New York home of opera. John Bron-n, Cleofonte Campanlnl's Eastern representative denies the truth of this rumor. He states that the New York season of the Chicago Opera .kssociatiun will take place at the Lexlugton Avenue Oi>era House as adver* tised.
AMERICAN OPERA SUNG
Henry Hadley's three act opera, Azora, tell¬ ing the story of a daughter of Montezuma, a frankly American cousin of Alda, In historic settings of old Mexico, was produced recently by the Chlc.ago Oihts Company and will be taken to New York late In January or Feb¬ ruary next. The comiioser who conducted the premiere was presented with a silver wreath, and while the audience could have Ireen substan¬ tially larger Its v-ceptlon of the native work was cordial and hearty, at times even nols.v. "Mr. Hadley had one of the most remarkable demonstrations of go.sI will," wrote Karleton Hackett In The Chicago Post, "that the Audi¬ torium has witnessed In years. There was ap¬ plause after the first act, still more after the second, for the artists as well ns for Mr. Hadley and others, and when the final curtain fell they gave him the greatest cheer of all.” It was a pleasure to this critic to note also “some ad¬ mixture of patriotic enthusiasm for American art as expressed In an American opera, written by an American, and sung by an American cast.” Soprano of the Metropolitan Opera Bouse, New York, who is concertlilng under the management of Ger¬ trude F.
