Rethberg will sing Cio Cio San and Edward Johnson makes his first appearance of the new season by donning uniform and making Lieutenant Pinkerton a credit to the fleet. Mme. Bouskaya is the Suzuki, and Mr. Basiola proves Monday night brings a brilliant cast to the ardent music drama that is Puccini‘s "Madame Butterfly," and which owes such a debt of gratitude Mme. Rethberg and Mr. Martine to compass the soaring altitudes of its love â€"songs, and â€"with _ Mr. and Mr. Lazzari to intone its noble chants of patriotism, "William Tell" promises to hold its own with any opera of the repertoire. Mr. Papi and the Chicago Symphony orchestra will have some things to say with the famous Overture, while Mr. D"Anâ€" gelo sings Gessler and Mr. Gandolf makes his Ravinia debut as the patriarch, Melcthal. . Miss Maxwell is the target who holds the apple on her head, and Miss Paggi is the mother, duly distressed at such untoward feats of archery. ~A new ballet will add to the diversion. * : ‘ Uphold Traditions _ §2% * â€"Sunday night‘s "La Traviata" upâ€" holds the Ravinia tradition that two first nights are always better than one by casting Lucrezia Bori as the| frail Violetta who remains the most | seductive of the ladies of the camelâ€" lias. Mr. Chamlee is the misinformed| ‘Alfredo ~whose plaintive yearning| mounts into lovely song, and Mr.)|: Basiola lends his beautiful baritone| : to that lustrous aria about the charms | of fair Provence. ‘ j Saturday night, June 27: "Manon Lescaut," by Puccini, with Lucrezia kaya, Desire Defrere, Marek Wind:â€" heim, Louis D‘Angelo, Giuseppe Cavaâ€" dore, Lodovico Oliviero, Paoclo Anâ€" anian.

"William Tell" New Here _ As has been previously announced, «William Telt" is new to the Ravinia repertoire, and has not been sung in this town since the Chicago Opera season of 1918â€"19. Cast in the heroic mould, the opera is utterly unlike the other Rossini work long a Ravinia favorite, namely, the swashbuckling "Barber of Seville."

Modiste." Bernice Claire, Edâ€" ward Everett Horton and Wailter Pidegeon have the featured roles. And though all this sounds like a comprehensive survey.â€"of â€"aâ€"remarkâ€" able repertoire, Ravinia its first week on a peak of flaming melody by preâ€" senting Puccini‘s "Manon . Lescaut" with Bori and Martinelli electrifyâ€" ing: the opera out of all resemblance to its usual self. These two are high Ravinia favorites. â€"]| ~ Thursday night proclaims Ravinia‘s h | versatility by giving to "Aida" a cast . | magnificently fitted to lure from its gorgeous sore every nuance of latent 1| glory. Mme, Rethberg sings the titleâ€" | role in which she made her Ravinia ‘debut back in 1923, and in which the â€"| beauty of her lyric voice takes on a ] thrilling surge of dramatic conviction. | Mr. Martinelli has long been ackâ€" nowledged the Radames without rival, having both voice and physique to | mve,&a%vmmhnndm | glamour.

However, smile is a mild word when the Ravinia producâ€". tion is under discussion, for with Mme. Gall as the hoyden Princess and Mr. Chamlee as the engagingly truthâ€" léss hero, "Marouft" becomes a floatâ€" ing bubble of iridescent fun, gaily colored in melody and insouciant in impertinent foolery. â€" Mr,. Rothier and Mr.. Trevisan are important in the Karge cast, which teems with small roles far too individual to be disâ€" missed as minor. Mr. Hasselmans conducts and Miss Page and Mr. Scott adorn the fleet ballet.
