During the week [three French and three Italian works {will be given, the former to include | Ambroise Thomas' "Mignon," which is being restored to the Ravinia reper- toire this year. It has been many sea- sons since this charming work was performed at Ravinia and the an- nouncement of its restoration brought much favorable comment from patrons of the Opera House in the Woods. Sunday afternoon the Chicago Sym- phony orchestra will be heard in an excellent concert program under the direction of Eric Del.amarter. Alfred Wallenstein, cellist, will be the soloist. The cast of "Aida" Sunday night will be the same as that which elevated this famous Verdi work to new heights last iweek.
