This is the first time that the Swedish peoâ€" ple have been represented in the serâ€" ies of Ravinia national concerts, and the program will be dedicated to the Swedish National society of Chicago. Charles S. Peterson, chairman of the society, will speak. The Chicago Symâ€" phony orchestra will present the proâ€" gram under the direction of Eric Deâ€" contralto of the Ravinia opera forces and Alfred Wallenstein, ‘cellist, will be the soloists. Mme. Claussen is herself a Seandinavian. The opera on the evening of Swedish day will be "Aida" with Mme. Rethberg, Edâ€" ward Johnson and Mme. Ciaussen in the three leading roles. Interest is widespread in the conâ€" cert of Bohemian music which will begin the ninth calendar week of Raâ€" vinia Opera and Concerts on Sunday afternoon, Aug. 19. There are more Bohemians in Chicago than any other city of the world with the exception of Prague, and the Bohemian people have good reason to be proud of the splendid music which they have conâ€" tributed to the art of the world. However, Sunday‘s concert at Ravinia is not for Bohemians alone, but, like all of these Sunday. concerts, will give the public in general the opporâ€" tunity to become acquainted with a particular phase of the world‘s music. There is no charge for reserved seats at these concefts, the general admisâ€" sion at the gate covering everything. "La Boheme" Aug. 19 "La Boheme" which is scheduled for Sunday night, Aug. 19, is one of the most popplar of the modern operas and is thoroughly representaâ€" tive of the style of the late Giacomo Puccini. Mme. Rethberg, who will be cast as Mimi, has been heard in this part before at Ravinia, and it is Espagno!" (The Spanish Hour) and the garden scene of "The Jewels of the Madonna" which will be given on Monday night, Aug. 20, comes in reâ€" sponse to an imperative demand for a repeat of these works. "L‘Heure Espagno!" has just been added to the Ravinia repertoire and is representaâ€" tive of the ultraâ€"modern French style when this style is applied to a comedy rlo.t. Mme. Gall will have the leadâ€" ng soprano role of Concepcion and Desire Defrere will be Ramiro, the For the first time since Ravinia inaugurated . its national concerts, which have been popular Sunday afâ€" ternoon features this season, Bohemia will be represented on Sunday afterâ€" noon, Aug. 19, the program on that day consisting of the works of Boâ€" hemian composers and being dedicated to the Bohemian Arts club of Chiâ€" cago. Dr. J. E. S. Vojan, president of that organization will make the address of welcome. The program to be played by the Chicago Symphony orchestra, under the direction of Eric DeLamarter, will consist of works by Smetana, Dvorak and Suk, Jacques Gordon, violinist, will be the soloist. DVesire Defrere will be Ramiro, the principal funâ€"maker. Others are Mr. 2 se en o o on e S emesmt ocE SW Mojica, Mr. Paltrinieri, Mr. D‘Angelo. Mr. Hasselmans will conduct. Mme. Florence Easton will be heard as Maâ€" liella in "The Jewels of the Madonâ€" na" with Mario Chamlee as Gennaro. Giuseppe Danise will this time have the role of Raffaele. Mr. Papi will uled for this Donizetti work forths an admirâ€" able combination of fun and melody. berg singing the part of Madeleine and Edward Johnson appearing as Chenier. _ "L‘Elisir d‘Amore" will again be given on Thursday night, Aug. 23, with Tito Schipa, Florence Macbeth and Vittorio Trevisan in the roles they made so amusing and melodious when this Donizetti work was given for the first time this year. Puccini‘s "Manon Lescaut" is schedâ€" uled for Friday night, Aug. 24, Miss Florence Easton again appearing in the title role with Edward Johnson as the Chevalier Des Grieux. Attenâ€" tion is again called to the fact that there is a vast difference between this Puccini version of the "Manon" story and the French edition of the same story by Massenet, which likewise forms a part of the Ravinia reperâ€" toire. "Don Pasquale" which has not been heard at Ravinia this sesson is schedâ€" nmwmbm-fi. of Tito who will sing the rht:‘:ruh,fl.lhh-u ence will be opposite him in Chamlee in "The Jewels of the Maâ€" donna." Giuseppe Danise will this time be cast as Raffacie. "Andrea Chenier" will be repeated on Wednesâ€" day night, Aug. 22, with Mme. Rethâ€" Tokatyan.as Rodolfo; "L Heure Tsâ€" pagnol" and the gurden scene of "The Jewels of the Madouna" on Monday night, August 20. Mme. Yvyoune Gall will again be heard as Concepcion in the former work while Miss Florence Continued from page 1 on Sunday night, Aug. 19, with Mme. First Presentation of Season National Concert Aug. 21, and Puccini‘s "Manon Lescaut" serves to illustrate what the modern and Italian treatment of a theme will acâ€" complish. For years the opera paâ€" trons of the world had known Masâ€" senet‘s "Manon‘" and then came Pucâ€" cini who took the same story, adapted it to his individual style and proâ€" duced a result that was entirely difâ€" ferent from the one achieved by the older French composer. _ "Manon Lescaut" is to be given again on Friâ€" day night, Aug. 24, and it is sure to repeat the success it scored when given its first presentation of the seaâ€" son week before last. Miss Easton will have the title role which is splenâ€" didly adapted to her style of vocal interpretation, while Edward Johnâ€" son will be heard as the Chevalier Desâ€" Grieux, a part which while making special lyric denunds is | likewise highly dramatic. ‘ Others in the cast are Mme. Bourskaya, Mr. Defrere, Mr. Mojica, Mr. D‘Angelo, Mr. Palâ€" trinieri, Mr. Ananian and Mr. Derâ€" man. Mr. Papi will conduct. "La Traviata" Aug. 25 "La Traviata," one of the most tuneful of all the Verdi operas, will bring the week to a close on Saturâ€" day night, Aug. 25. This work has not been heard before this season, and as the role of Alfred is among the best known parts essayed by Tito Schipa, it is only natural that this lyrie tenor should be cast for it. Miss Queena Mario is to have the name part and Giuseppe Danise will be heard as the elder Germont, in which he sings the famous aria "La Proâ€" vince." Others in the cast are Mr. Mojica, Mr. D‘Angelo, Miss Falco, Mr. Ananian and Miss Correnti. Miss Ruth Page and ballet will appear in the incidental dances. Mr. Papi will conduct. "L‘Elisir d‘Amore" in which Tito Schipa made his Ravinia debut this season will again be the offering for Thursday night, Aug. 23, and Mr. Schipa will be cast in the part of Neâ€" morino. Miss Macbeth will be oppoâ€" site him, and Vittorio Trevisan will be Dr. Dulcamara. This is another highly amusing work filled with that melody of which Donizetti was a past master. Miss Maxwell and Mr. Basâ€" jola will both be prominently cast and Mr. Papi will conduct. The Children‘s concert and enterâ€" tainment will be given as usual on Thursday afternoon, the concert proâ€" gram being presented by the Chicago Symphony orchestra, under the direcâ€" tion of Mr. DeLamarter. The enterâ€" tainment which follows will be given by Miss Ruth Page, Edwin Strawâ€" bridge and the Ravinia Opera Ballet.
