GERMAN OPERA
RESUMED JN LONDON, Press Association—Copyright. Australian and N.Z. Cable AssneinGon London, May 6. An audience as brilliant and as numerous as in the old days assembled at Covent Garden for the opening of the German opera, season, when Wagner's “Rheingold” was 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 the organised gestures of Wagnerism drama, but agree that the performance was a most noteworthy one, going so far as to say that there must have been a vocal as well as a political revolution in Germany, for the standard is higher than ever.
