GERMAN OPERA SEASON.
OPENING IN LONDON. NOTEWORTHY PERFORMANCE. LONDON, May 6. An audience as brilliant and as numerous as in the old days assembled at Coveut Oarden for the opening of the German opera season, when Wagner's Rheingold was performed in German tor the first time since 1914. Critics comment on the strangeness of the sensation in listening again to the correct slow German tempi and witnessing again all the organised gestures of Wagnerian drama, but agree that the performance was a most noteworthy one, going so far as to say there must have been a vocal, as well as a political revolution in Germany for the standard was higher than ever.—A. and N.Z. cable.
