_ RAVINIA PROGRAM (Continued from page 1) | tiful as it is powerful, has no rivals. Mme. Rethberg‘s work in the great roles of the Italian, French and Gerâ€" man schools, has won ber acclaim in many of the world‘s opera houses and time and again last season she thrilled Ravinia audiences by comâ€" bining with singing, the art of histriâ€" onism, and this is such a way as to make the operas in which she apâ€" peared, true "music drama." This artist has an extensive repertoire and this year she will be heard in a wide variety of roles. centers of Europe. Johnson Coming Edward Johnson is to return. Two years ago he was a newcomer at Raâ€" vinia, but he quickly won a place for himself and last year he scored many triumphs throughout the season. Role after role fell to his share and he put the stamp of individual distinction on everything he did . He has a voice well adapted to both dramatic and lyric singing and he is one of the great actors of grand opera. Another Ravinia favorite whose name again appears on the roster is Mario Chamâ€" lee. This artist holds a prime posiâ€" tion among those tenors who devote themselves to the lyric operas and his work is greatly appreciated by all lovers of sheer melody. of the mezzo roles. ‘There is ample reason for enthusâ€" iasm in the announcement that Gioâ€" vanni Martinelli is coming back. This dramatic tenor has an army of ardent admirers and with little wonder, for he occupies a place entitely his own among the world‘s great artists. No role is so heroic but that Mr. Martinâ€" elli can measure up to its every deâ€" mand, and yet he has such perfect command of his vocal resources that he is able to sing the lyric parts with equal facility. That he is one of the greatest dramatic tenors in the world today is a fact fully appreciated by the Ravinia public as it is by operaâ€" goers in New York and the music centers of Europe. ‘ Tito Schipa is coming back. He is not a newcomer by ang.means, but he has not been heard at Ravinia in five years and during that time he has sung in many important places. Mr. Schipa, who is to appear during August, is one of the foremost lyric temors of his generation, having a long list of romantic roles to his eredit. He will be heard in many of these during his Ravinia engagement. Mme. Â¥vonne Gall is to return. It will be remembered that this famous artist from the Grand Opera and the Opera Comique at Paris, was brought to Ravinia for & limited series of performances last season in which she scored tremendous success. She sang the name parts of "Louise" and "Thais" in additioin to other roles, arousing unbounded enthusiasm on the part of her suditors. This year Mme. Gall comes to Ravinia for the entire season and of course this will make it possible for her to appear in many of the best know roles chosen from an unusually broad repertoire. Mme. Gail will be promineent in the new operas "Marouf" and "L‘Heure Espagnole" which are being added to the repertoire, being cast for the principal sopramo part in both, and she will be heard as Toinette in "Le Chemineau" which is among the reviâ€" vals. Armand Tokatyan, who, like Mr. Schipa has been absent from Ravinia for some time has been reâ€"engaged for the new season. He is a young singer who has gone far in the world of opera. Jose Mojica, who has filled m distinctive place at Ravinia for several seasons is to return and will be. heard in an interesting range of Then there is Giuseppe Danise, the richness of whose batritone woice has won the acclaim of opera patrons in many purts of the world. He has been a leading member of the Ravinia forces for six semsons, and will be warmly welcomed at the beginning of his seventh. Mr. Danise is a master of that vanishing art, bel canto singâ€" mh his splendid performances of seasons come to mind, there is ample assurance that many treats uie in store for the season that is hi Bori Here in August e.

"Marouf," by Henri Rabaud, an ultraâ€" modern among the French composers, is another important addition to the repertoire. This fanciful opera, with its story taken from the pages of the Arabian Nights, is said to represent the latest development of the French school. Mr. Rabaud, who has been a principal conductor at the Grand Opera Comique in Paris, has written some highly successful symponies in addition to his operatic work and was for a season conductor of the Bosâ€" ton Symphony Orchestra. _ Mme. Yvonne Gall will be cast as the Prinâ€" cess, which is ‘the leading soprano role of "Marouf," while Mario Chamâ€" lee will have the name part. ahead.

Desre Defrere will be heard in many baritone parts. Basso Roles The basso roles will be in the same hands as before, both Leon Rothier and Virgilio Lazzari having been reâ€" engaged to head this contingent of singers. The fame of these two arâ€" tists is international and both, in addition to possesing singing voices of rare quality, are equally known as actors and character delienators. Mr. Rothier is an exponent of the French school of singing while Mr. Lazzari is representative of the Italâ€" ian, Vittorio Trevisan will be heard in the important bassoâ€"buffo roles.
