GERMAN OPERA SEASON.
CO'VENT GARDEN AUDIENCES.
STRANGE SENSATION.
(Australian and N.Z Cable Association. 1
LONDON, May 5.
An .audience as brilliant and numerous as in the old! days assembled at C'ovent Garden for the opening of the German opera season, when Wagner’s “Rheingold” will be performed in German for the first time since 1914.
Critics comment on the strangeness of the sensation of listening again to the correct slow German tempi, and -witnessing again all theorganised gestures of Wagneran drama, but agree that the performance is a most noteworthy one, going so far as to say there must have been a vocal as well as political revolution in Germany, for the standard is higher than ever.
