This announcement comes after months of work and planning. There is not a detail omitted that will make for success except those which cannot be anticipated m advance. The new season is to op.cn Saturday night, June 23. It is to close Monday night, September 3. Thus is the Chicago district assured of another ten weeks and three days of superlative grand opera of the sort which long since made Ravinia the summer capital of the music world and gave this metropolitan di strict a unique position on the music map. And it may be said in passing that the items so concisely set forth in thi s important piece of music new s. form ~~ r. Eckstein's answer to the constantly· repeated question: " How will it be possible for Ravinia · to achieYe greater arti stic success than it has already attained in the past?" Answers Pertinent Question That question is asked every year and with good reason. The answer is always forthcoming on the day that the initial announcement of the season is made, for by the subtle· magic which has always governed all Ra vinia activities, the standards, high as they have been in the past, ha\" e been elevated year by year; the roster of artists has become constantly more significant and the list of operas -from the standard works to the most intriguing novelties - has steadily grown in proportions. Anll these · answers to the annual question have been possible because Ravinia has ideals to which it rigidly adheres and because it takes its mission seriously. But the general public is more interested in results than in ideals and it knows that Ravinia accomplishes results.
