It is one of the few operas In the repertoire' with a happy ending, which will send the audience away to New fear's Eje suppfrrs. In a Jolly frame of mind. 0 One Important change has been made In the cast. This season Vannl- Marcoux; the great Franco-Italian singing actor, will have the role of Lothario. Mignon will be Coe Glade, who scored the greatest triumph of her career in the role last season. The I'hllena will be MRrgherita Salvl, whose beauty, grace and technical skill have won her many friends during her. four years with the Civic Opera. Tlfo Setups, one of the most popular operatic and concert tenors In the world, will have the role .of Wllhelm Melster, and.JHmll Cooper, internationally known itussian musician, will he at the conductor's stand. Another brilliant feature of the ninth week of opera will be the first performance at popular prices of-Richard Wagner's Die Meistersinger. The Civic Opera presentation bf this great opera has been called by many critics the finest to be found anywhere In the world. Owing to the fact that a huge augmented chorus and a c^ftple of hun- (jrpH jn addition to the ful! bs! let, are used in the production. Its cost is far greater than can possibly be brought In by a sold-out house at popular prices. But the host of music layers who wish to hear -the work ate being given the opportunity to purchase seats at 75 cents to $4. The cast Is the same as that which sang the work December 23, with Maria Radjl as Eva, Sonia Sharnova as Magdaleoa, Rene Malson as Walther, Hans ia Nlsaea as flans 8acha, Atas* under Kipnis as Pogner, Oscar Cot~ cafre as David and Robert RlngllnJ^j as Kothner.
