WINNETKA TALK July 7, 1928 "FAUST" OPENS THIRD RAVINIA OPERA WEEK (Continued from Page 47) Lionel, Mario Chamlee will appear. Mme. Bourskaya will be cast as Nancy and Virgilio Lazzari as Plunkett. Paolo Ananian is to be Sir Tristan. "Martha" is sheer melody from beginning to end and "M'Appari," the Spinning Quartet and "The Last Rose of Summer" stand out among operas best known experts. Thursday afternoon, July 12, the reg- ular concert and entertainment for the children will take place. Mr. Del.amar- ter will conduct the Chicago Symphony orchestra in the concert program, ex- plaining the various numbers to the chil- dren. This will be followed by the en- tertainment which is designed especially to intrigue the interest of a juvenile au- dience. Children twelve years of age and under are admitted free to these concerts. The reserved seats are free for everyone. "La Boheme" Thursday "La Boheme" is to be given on Thurs- day night with two important changes in the cast. Armand Tokatyan, who has not been heard at Ravinia for about three seasons, but who has rapidly climbed to the top of the operatic ladder by reason of his splendid achievements elsewhere will be Rodolfo, singing oppo- site Mme. Rethberg who is cast as Mimi. Mr. Tokatyan was always a well liked artist at Ravinia, and his many admirers will be glad to welcome him back. Mme. Rethberg's interpretation of the part of Mimi is a splendid exemplification of singing and acting and she proves that her voice, which can be so dramatic on occasion, can be utilized with wonderful Iyric effect. Giuseppe Danise will come into the cast of "La Boheme" on Thurs- day night, singing the role of Marcel. Miss Maxwell to be Musetta and Mr. Defrere Mr. Lazzari and Mr. Ananian will be well cast. Mr. Papi will conduct. "Romeo and Juliet" will receive its first presentation of the season on Fri- day night, July 13, and Mme. Gall is to be cast as Juliet, this being a role in which she was heard once during her guest appearance at Ravinia last season. This part is well suited to the French prima donna and gives here opportunity for both singing and acting. Edward Johnson, one of the greatest of the Ro- meos will be cast in this splendidly ro- mantic roe, in which he needs no intro- duction. He sings it with all the splen- dor it demands and by his superb acting makes it entirely convincing. Leon Rothier will be heard as Friar Laurent and Desire Defrere will be Mercutio. Margery Maxwell is cast as Stephano. Others in the cast are Louise D'Angelo, Jose Mojica, Philine Falco, and Paolo Ananian. Mr. Hasselmans will conduct. Hear Chamlee Saturday Ever since the unexpected presentation of "Pagliacci" and "Cavalleria Rusti- cana" on the opening night of the season, Mr. Eckstein has been deluged with re- quests for the repetition of this double bill. These requests are to be met on Saturday night, July 14, at which time "Pagliacci" will be given with exactly the same cast heard in it at the time of the season's opening. This means that Mme. Queena Mario, who created a splendid impression as Nedda in the Leoncavallo opera, will again have this part, singing opposite Giovanni Marti- nelli who is to be Canio. Giuseppe Danise will again be Tonio and George Cehanovsky will be Silvio. Jose Mojica will be Beppo. There will be one change in the cast of "Cavalleria Rusticana," Mme. Elisabeth Rethberg singing the role of Santuzza, which she added to her repertoire last summer and for which she is eminently qualified. Mr. Chamlee will again be heard as Turiddu, Mr. Basiola will be Alfio, Miss Swarthout is cast as Lola and Miss Falco will be Mama Lucia. Gennaro Papi will con- duct both performances. On Sunday afternoon, July 15, the first of the national concerts scheduled for the current season will be given, the series being inaugurated with a pro- gram of German music by German com- posers. the Chicago Symphony orchestra has arranged a representative German pro- gram for this occasion and Jaques Gor- don, violinist, will be the soloist. There is every indication that this concert will make a strong appeal not only to the German speaking residents of Chi- cago, but to all lovers of music, for no concert music is better loved than that which has come from the genuis of the German composers. It is fitting that the opera performance scheduled for the eve- ning of July 15, should likewise be Ger- man, Mr. Eckstein having selected Wag- ner"s "Lohengrin" for this occasion. Mme. Easton, Mr. Johnson, Mme. Bour- skaya, Mr. D'Angelo, Mr. Cehanovsky and Mr. Preston will be cast in this work and Mr. Hasselmans will conduct. Those who attend the concert may remain for the opera without additional gate admis- sion charge. The several national con- certs last season were immensely popu- lar, and there has been insistent demand for them again this year.
