Performances of opera in the open air' are said to be practically the sole form of musical diversion that has been provided for the Parisian public this summer. Every alternate afternoon, says Musical America, large crowds gather in the Tuileries gardens to hear the music of their favourite operas sung and played by the singers and orchestra of the Opera Comique. There is no "dramatic action," of course, but the performances are of a high order of excellence, and they have a wholesome effect in entertaining and inspiriting a public deprived of its usual pleasures. Bordeaux's summer scheme is more extended — an open-air theatre, with a seating accommodation for 20,000 persons. Performances of opera and ballets are included in the scheme, the sirigers, chorus, and orchestra and dancers being principally recruited from Paris.
