L · ............. - ---------_._._._._._._.-------_._._._. _._._-----------_. --------:. Announcement ~¥::::;;::A:ri1 RATIFIED by its reception during three successive VISitS, and faithful to its promise to confine its activities to New York and Atlanta, Mr. Giulio Gatti-Casazza, general manager of the Metropolitan Opera Company, takes pleasure in announcing that arrangements have been completed for its fourth season of grand opera at the Auditorium during the week beginning April 2 J • The local management, as heretofore, will be in the hands of the Atlanta Music Festival Association, which has done so much to foster musical art throughout the South and make Atlanta one of the important operatic centers of the country. Four evening and three afternoon performances will be given as follows: Puccini's "MANON LESCAUT" in Italian on Monday evening, April 2 J. Verdi's "LA TRAVIATA" in Italian on Tuesday afternoon, April 22. Damrosch's "CYRANO" in English on Wednesday evening, April 23. Ponchielli's "LA GIOCONDA" in Italian on Thursday afternoon, April 24. Offenbach's "TALES OF HOFFMANN" in French on Friday even­ ing, April 25. Donizetti's "LUCIA" in Italian on Saturday afternoon, April 26. Puccini's "TOSCA" in Italian on Saturday evening, April 26. The foregoing list of operas speaks for itself. In preparing the reper­ toire Mr. Gatti-Casazza has sought to please all tastes. The public will have an opportunity of hearing opera in three languages, including English. Several new artists of the first rank will make their debuts before Atlanta audi­ ences, while a glance over the roster Qf stars will discover the names of eminent artists who have already won their way into the hearts of the South's music lovers. It is quite unnecessary to enter into further details as to the character of the performances promised. The Metropolitan Opera Company is a house­ hold word in Atlanta. Mr. Gatti~Casazza can only repeat his assurance that, as on former occasions, the full resources of this, admittedly the greatest oper­ atic organization in the world, will be utilized, and as far as physical condi­ tions will permit, the performances will equal in casts of artists, scenic splen­ dor, orchestral and choral support and every other detail, the New York pro­ ductions which have given the company its international pre-eminence . .. ---------_._._._._.-----------------_.------_._.---.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.--------~ 0 1 1 10 GUlLlO GATTI-CASAZZA ARTURO TOSCANINI r-====-~~~-:------------------f----'" ·-----------------1 I I' The Company (Arranged Alphabetically An SOPRANI Mmes.
