GERMAN OPERA.
AT COVENT GARDEN. NOTEWORTHY PERFORMANCE. (Press Association—Copyright.) (Received 7.30 p.m.) London,- May 6.—An audience as brilliant and 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 fbr the first time since 1914. Critics comment of the strangeness of the sensation of 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 that 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.)
