Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from More Chapters of Opera: Being Historical and Critical Observations and Records Concerning the Lyric Drama in New York From 1908 to 1918 When, in the winter months of 1910, I gathered together for book-binder´s boards the "Chapters of Opera" which had been published in The Tribune during the preceding summer, 1 sought to justify my historical excursion by the statement that the Metropolitan Opera House, having completed an existence of twenty-five years, was about to enter upon a new regime. The close of the operatic year 1917-18 witnessed no change in management in the institution, but more markedly than its predecessor of the decade before it closed a distinctive era and presaged a change of artistic policy. This change was due to causes vastly different from those which had conspired to bring about the earlier reform, if such it was. The United States had become embroiled in the European war. During three years of the awful conflict, the period of American neutrality, our opera pursued the even tenor of its way without grave concern or great alteration of its aims and methods. Neither did it suffer a loss of prosperity. Its patrons were affluent and their emotions had not been aroused, or if aroused had not been directed against any phase of artistic manifestation.
