The Mon- day nights of every Ravinia season have always been designated as "eon- cert nights.” but both last season and the season before many of ‘these Monday nights had to be given over' to extra performahtes of opera.'

They include "La Rond- ine," a Puccini work which was com- pleted only a short time.before the death of this great modern composer and which is. still but little known even in those opera houses where Puccini is a prime favorite. Mme. Luerezia Boriwill have the principal soprano part in this opera, and it is a role in which she scored treifiend- ous success when it was first given in NekYiork. The tenor part willi be in the hands of both Edward Johnson and Mario Chamlee, these artists alternating, in the role.
