REE Loads hg wdc SH INNETKA TALK A Weekly News-Magazine for Winnetka VOL. XV, NO. 12 WINNETKA, ILLINOIS, MAY 29, 1926 --_- a PRICE FIVE CENTS i. NEW PROGRAMS DAILY IN RAVINIA'S FIRST WEEK Louis Eckstein Has Herculean Task in Arranging Operas for Inaugural Week Seven different operas and one con- cert--this is the program outlined for the first eight days of Ravinia opera and concerts as the introduction of the new season,»which is to open Satur- day, June 26. The undertaking is herculean, for Louis Eckstein has so arranged it that during this, period there will be ne repeat performances and nearly every one of the artists, old and new, will be given opportunity to appear in a favorite role. Here is the list of works which Mr.- Eckstein has chosen for this initial period: Saturday night, June 26, "Manon Lescaut," by Puccini; Sunday night, June 27, "Madame Butterfly"; Mon- day night, June 28, Concert by Chica- go Symphony Orchestra with soloists chosen from the orchestra and opera company; Tuesday night, June 29, "Romeo and Juliet"; Wednesday night, June 30, "Rigoletto"; Thursday night, July 1, "Faust"; Friday night, July 2, "Martha"; Saturday night," July 3, "Aida." Sing Favorite Roles When one takes into consideration the world famous artists' whose names are on the Ravinia roster this season and then examines the list of operas scheduled for performance during the first eight days of the season, some interesting facts come to mind. Many of these artists are to be heard in roles which they rightly consider as pe- culiarly their own. In one or two in- stances two "stars, each noted for a particular role in a given work will be found vis-a-vis thus giving unusual strength to the casts and making for what may be called perfect balance in production... One Ravinia artist during this opening week will resume a role in which he was long famous, but which he has not sung for several sea- sons. & 8 SER Thus 'it may be seen that it is not merely a week of opera that has been planned, but a veritable music festival, and that it has been designed to meet every variety of taste. It is the stand- ard repertoire 'that is given largest representation, but 'there are several novelties in store which will be brought forth during the course of the season. | Bait hére is the opening list, and it is well worth examining each of these works and its cast: . '8 "First Week's Program _ Opening night, June 26: "Manon Jaca t by Giacomo Puccini, with Mme. ri, Giovanni Martinelli, Ina Bourskaya, Louis D'Angelo, Desire De- frere, Paolo Ananian, Giordano Pal- trinieri. This Ttalian treatment of the "Manon" romantic tragedy so familiar in the French version by Massenet, was one of the outstanding features of the last Ravinia season. Tt pul life and color and in it Mme. Bori, Mr. Martinelli and in fact all the members of the cast have every opportunity for the display of unlimited vocal and his- trionic genius. Puccini, whose untimely death a little more than a year ago de- prived the world of its greatest modern composer, is revealed in the height of his creative power in this work.
