Continued from page 1 first section Another of opera‘s best known and during the new week on Sunday night, August 5, this being Bizet‘s immortal "Carmen" with Mme. Ina Bourskaya in the name part. In this work Mme. Bourskaya has full opportunity for a display of that acting which is so in for she gives to the tempestuous cigarette girl an interpretation which is all her own. Opposite her, as Don Jose, Armand Tokatyan will be heard, and it may be said that the music of this role is eminently well suited to caela and Desire Defrere will be Esâ€" camillo. An attractive feature of the "Carmen" performance will be the dancing of Miss Ruth Page and bal~ let. "The Tales of Hoffman" always finds a cordial welcome awaiting it, but it has not been given this sumâ€" mer. However, it is on the program for Thursday night, Aug. 9, with a cast which is able to bring out all of the fantastic elements which this opera contains as well as to sing its beautiful music. Mario Chamlee will have the name part of this French work, with an unusually large cast which includes Miss Macbeth, Miss Swarthout, Miss Freund, Mr. Basiola, Mr. Rothier, Mme: Bourskaya, Mr. Defrere, Mr. Mojica, Mr. D‘Angelo, Mr. Cehanovsky, Miss Falco and Mr. Paltrinieri. Four years ago, Puccini‘s "Manon Lescaut" was added to the Ravinia repertoire and it immediately took its place in the regard of the public with those other Puccini favorites, "Maâ€" dame Butterfly," "Tosca" and "La Boheme." It will be given its inigfl presentation of the season on Friday night, August 10, at which time Miss Florence Easton will be heard in the title role with Edward Johnson as the Chevalier DesGrieux.

Both operas are based on the same story, but in musical treatâ€" ment and character development, are operatic arias. Miss Macbeth is to be cast as Rosina while Tito Schipa will sing the part of Count Almaviva. This role gives Mr. Schipa every chance for a display of the lyric quality of mischief making barber of the title role, while Leon Rothier and Vittorio ‘Trevisan will be cast as Don Basilio ‘The only repeated opera of the week without changes of cast is "Le Chemâ€" ineau" which is to be given on Monâ€" day night, August 6. Mme. Gall will again be heard as Poinette with Mr. Danise in the title role. Jose Mojica will be Toinet, son of Toinette, and Leon Rothier will be cast as Francois. Louis D‘Angelo is to have the part of Pierre. Miss Maxwell, Mme. Clausâ€" sen and Mr. Defrere are all importâ€" antly cast. Although Mr. Johnson will be makâ€" ing his initial appearance of the seaâ€" son as Radames in "Aida" when that opera is given on Tuesday night, Aug. 7, Mme. Rethberg will be heard again in the name part. She has scored outstanding success as the Egyptian slave girl this season, for she is vocalâ€" ly endowed with the tonal power the music of this role exacts, and she likeâ€" wise has the tonal beauty which makes it possible for her to achieve the most subtle shades of interpretaâ€" tion. Mr. Johnson is well equipped to give splendid account of himself as Radames. Mr. Basiola, who will be heard as Amonasro for the first time this summer, has on other occaâ€" sions proved himself equal to the deâ€" mands of this role. Mme. Claussen will be Amneris, Mr. Lazzari the high priest Ramfis, and Mr. Ananian, the king. Mr. Papi will conduct.
