Final Week Beginning This Sunday ·to Witness Production of Moat Popular Works I ..JI · ·· T I " It is no easy task to select what may be called the "creme de la creme" of the entire Ravinia repertoire as ·it has been presented throughout the season in order to make up a week's program which is to be considered as highly representative of the most popular works of the list. Yet that is always the aim of Louis Eckstein when the time comes to schedule the season, a final performance, and this year, as in the past, he has found himself embarrassed by a super-abundance of highly successful works. Howev~r, .he has chosen for the week begmnmg Sunday, August 26, seven outstanding operas which are certain to prove eminently pleasing to those thousands of music enthusiasts who, · during the current season, have been loyal patrons of Ravinia. During the week ahead all of Ravinia's best known artists will appear in roles which are particularly gratifying to them, and both the French and the Italian schools of composition will be represented. In answer to the many inquiries which have been· received, Mr. Eckstein announces that there will be another performance of "Marauf," the new opera which has taken the opera patrons of the Chicagot'<iistrict by storm anti which has formed the subject matter of another thrilling chapter in the annals of Ravinia achievement. Gala Performance Sept. 3 Mr. Eckstein's announcements issued today, makes known not only the operas for the tenth week of the season, but likewise include two special events for the Sunday following. It is known the details for a special gala performance which will bring the season of 1928 to a climatic close on Monday evening, September 3, are now being completed, and there is every indication that this gala will be memorable in the history of Ravinia opera. The plan to which Mr. Eckstein is devoting his attention at present, will include the most interesting acts from three or four of the operas which have been outstanding suc.cesses this season and which will enable virtually all the artists of the company to appear. But a program of this kind requires much careful thought and consideration and will · be announced in detail in due time. The events of Sunday, September 2, and which may welt be included within the scope of Ravinia's farewell festivities for the present season, will bring a special concert by the Chicago Symphony orchestra on the afternoon of that day, during which a large array of the musicians of the orchestra wilt appear as soloists. These include Jacques Gordon, violin; Edward Llewellyn, trumpet; Alfred Wallenstein, 'cello; Alfred Barthel, oboe; Theodore Tesche, flute; Robert Lindeman, clarinet; Hugo Fox, bassoon; Joseph Vito, harp; Clarence Evans, viola; Pellegrino Lecee, horn ; Francis Napolotlo, English horn and Gustave Stang, trombone.
