TBBWOMAN OF THK WORK

Kundrv the only woman In the playIs an III made muddle of Inhumanity who

never commands a slnglo Inatant of sym-

pathy She strives by Mirvice to atone forher sins which nro committed under the

spell of Klingtor She has neither love

nor passion Ovrntmanz tim aged knightis n wearisome talker He tells the toryof IIH life or any ono eUos life to whom-

soever will listen Tho audience cannotc cai e

With the exception of Kltngeor and hisflower girls charming euphemism

these puppets are shown to UB the firstpoeno in which the nocit sary explanationsare made In long winded Hpewhes mostly

by Qurncmam tentod on a rock and re-

citing like weary Ifoan in Act II of DieWalkOre When this old

Pantifal to tho castle of theGrail WaRner sorts over his old plans andspecifications nnd selects Siegfrieds KhlneJourney

But this time it is a sedate nnd piousprogress finishing with belLs nnd chorals But-

it Is one of the tine spotHin the work Whenthe bells are in tuno It Is Lustnight the bellsepokechanged in an ingenious and effective panorama

Then comes the crown of the and thonoblest ene In the work the unveiling-

of tho Grail and tho ceremony of tho LastSupper Tills Is not the time for a discus-

sion of the propriety of putting such matterson the stage Suffice it to say thatWaRIer has accomplished ono of thetriumphant demonstrations of tho majestyof his organic union of the arts tributaryto the drama Music text action scenicform nnd color nil work together in anirresistibly potent symphony of symbolismwhich no reverent man can hear and seewithout emotion It makes Parsifal

almost persuasiveMELODRAMA INTRUDES ON AWl

The second act opens with the exhibition-of Kllngeor as already noted He Is nsunreal us the purple light which illuminesKundry when he summons her from thetrapdoor In the stage Sho rises likeMother Urda in Siegfried Act III butoh so different Away with such chwpand paltry claptrap as this scene PoorWagnerho had to write it to explain himselfand in Parsifal he needed a lot of explana-tion Not all tIle Ellifcs nor Wolzogormin the could blot out the Dniry Lanestain one scene Even the exclama-tory Ha ha of the old stage villain is notspared us

Tho second scene of the act Is the nmglogarden of flower maidens Ventisbrg No2 No 1 is much better both dramatically-and musically This ono is Tannliaeuaerand water and very poor water at thatYet It is the scene which will please the pop-ulace most because the flower girls arepretty and graceful and their inuslo Islanguorous and suggestive of Leo Delibrsraised to the seventh

But there is in this wholescene Kundrv unlike Venus does riotlove the man she tempts Venus Is at timbottom a passionate despairing womanKundry is the deputed and bewitched In-

strument of a Wahnfrled CagllostroIs that of a woman of the street Herexcuse is that she does not know what

he la doingShe U in a trance We her put In It

we see her corns out of It And she Istransformed by the power of the masterjuggler from rough creature tangledblack looks to k beautiful a dipphonoua decollete1 gown

The symbolism of the whole scene IB

weak and unconvincing And the logic ofthe enlightenment of Parfifal by the longkiss with string accompaniment see Slogfried Act III is beyond all conception-The symbolism of the waking of a sleepingmaiden by the first kiss of love is something-that even a society lady can gather Butthe employment of a courtesans salute toenlighten a pure fool by pity Is something-that passes understandingL-

AST ACT MOSTLY TEDIOtS

The last act is simply tedious except inspots Gurnemon gets more opportunities-to lecture on Amforla and Good Fridayand other topics but even with the old of

own musical illustrations he IsThe foot washing is a

pitiable and shocking plagiarism from thelife of The picture with its centralfigure long haired and whiterobed like the Shepherd of tbo paintingsis too suggestive of the original And it isall so inessential It is dragged in to helpJustify the title Sacred festival

The really beautiful places firsticons are the splendid proclamation ofthe Grail theme after the baptism of Kundrv

one of those few bursts which recall theWagner of Die WalkUro and theineffably lovely peaoofulness of tho GoodFriday music This indeed is anpage in Wagners scorn But ittwentyfive years before the drama wasproduced It was the first of the Parsifalscore

But on the whole the scoro Is almostono long faint echo of Wagners

vainly to animatethis Parslfalion puppet of renunciation-with the bloodshreds of Tristan und Isolde struggle to

sunset tints on this pallid iscopying futile without with-out a hotchpotch of the oldmarketable over withconstructive skill but without sincerityThere is a note of honestconviction in the whole Ono is in-

clined to think that would not havebelieved it

Abe firil scene is a weak and dilutedrepetition of the second scone of the firstnet Parsifal the GrailThe music necessity the samematerials It not achieve its effectthis time Neither Is the pictorial im

ression as deep We seen it allbefore

AS THE WoULD WILL JlDOE THB WOHK

These then are the first hasty conclu-sions caught from a public performance

summary of hw artistic creedWhen played Inwhore churchly airs are assumed andpeople in sackcloth and

tim impression is vastly differentBut now come out into

the of and faced the cold glare ofthe workday world it must bo measured

to other dramas Weighed inthe with Tristan und or

Ring works Ilhlnngold to which It Is artistically not a stran-ger It must be BesideTnnnhausor widen trentntho same

it Is n mass of artificialitieswas wise in that this

drama should be preserved for con-sumption

THE AUDIENCE THAT SAW IT

Rest Music Lovers Mostly Drw NoFeature

Before 630 oclock yesterday afternoona thousand people were waiting In front ofthe Metropolitan Opera House to buy ad-

mission tickets They were In front ofthe Broadway entrance through whichthey could reach the main door to standdownstairs during the hours tho perform-ance was to lost and more were In frontof the doors leading to the upper galler-ies whore they could stand In thatretreat at half the advanced pricedownstairs

Some arrivals hurried to theirplaces In stalls and boxes as soon atime doors were opened and the standeesadmitted The long rows of empty seatswelcomed them but gradually the audi-ence arrived until the theatre was full

Behind the curtain the scone stood readyfor the first act Lautenschlaegerand Anton Fuchs managers at theopera house this year anxiously

the stage the elonnnd chief stage carpenter Through-

out these preliminary minutes Mr Courtedmoved about the stage personally exam-ining the arrangement of every light andeccnio detail

Seven hours later the auditorium cf theopera house was again deserted It wesno longer spick and orderlr but litteredwith programmes hero nnd there a flowerarid the usual miscellaneous flotsam in theshape of veils and gloves that remain fromevery gathering in the theatre Out-

side carrlrgee carried away theirpassengers The stage was dim and mostof the scenery already hung in Itsabove tho stage

RECEIPTS 10000

It was a wonderful audience that listenedto the opera That the house would besold out as the slang of amusementsdescribes It was a foregone conclusionThe financial receipts exceeded any gather-Ing in tho Metropolitan Opera House except the performance in honor of PrinceHenry The orchestra stalls and the persons standing there alone represented

10000 Time sale of seats in the of thehouse brought the total receipts up to

10000 TIme stockholders alone had theprivilege of occupying their boxes on thisoccasion without paying for them

Such nn audience has never before gath-ered In Now York at 6 oclock Xotwas society there in tho boxes but therewere musicians from every part of thocountry A party of thirty came fromChicago From Boston and New Havenoarno delegations of students Thestandees downstairs and in tho galleries

wero young men and women almost with-out exception-

It was only in this particular that theattendance was disappointing It weethought that at lonst 2000 admission ticketsentitling the holders to stand would besold As a matter of fact the number down-stairs was lees than that figure Andthe persons who were youngprobably because they alone felt equalto up for a long time

his legs Btill ached from time necessity ofstanding up for more thanduring second scene of the first actYet were 500 persons willing to standduring the entire performanceO-

NLY TWELVE LATE ARRIVALS

The audience arrived with uncommonpromptitude It had been made clear

no persons would bo allowed to taketheir seats the lights hnd been turnedout Chief that ho wouldmake an effort to enforce this al-

though the ushers have no power stop-a who wants to get to his seat

Yesterday it was unnecessary At ten5 played

LITTLE CONFUSION OUTSIDE-

One Scrap Headed Off It Was Over theClothes question

Those who expected that the first per-

formance of Parsifal would be the occa-

sion of a riot in front of the MetropolitanOpera House before the beginning of theperformance In the afternoon and duringthe hour and a half Intermission weregreatly disappointed There was neithermore nor lees excitement than there Is ordi-

narily at tho beginning of an opera per-

formance except In one instanceAt 3 oclock in the afternoon the line of

men and women waiting to buy tickets atthe box office reached from tao Broadwayentrance of the office clear through Thirtyninth street to Seventh avenJe

halt way in the line were two younghad been quarrelling In front of

tho box office early In the morning Theylooked as though they were quite able tobuy almost any seats the house had tooffer One of them had taken timo andhimself by the forelock and arrayed himself In evening garments The other ap-

parently hoped to get home In the intermission In time to make a change It wasquite clear that neither knew the other
