Boston Oprra Hovuskt 
Second only to the opening of the 
season and rivaling the wonderfully 
complete production of “Tales of 
_ Hoffman” on that occasion will be the 
premier of Charpentier’s “Louise” 
Wednesday evening, Dec. 18, at the 
Boston Opera House. “Louise” is 
more of a novelty than the Offenbach 
work. No other opera repertory re- 
quires such a deal of preparation. The 
_ cast calls for no less than forty prin- 
cipals in addition to a full chorus and 
ballet. 
The Louise will be Mme. Louise 
Edvina, already a great favorite with 
the Boston public since her debut as 
Antonia. Charpentier himself has 
styled Mme. Edvina “the ideal 
Louise.” The theme of “Louise” has 
been termed “the cry of Paris,” but 
it is the cry which ever surges in the 
heart of youth,—the cry forthe city 
of joy. Louise, a sewing girl, living 
with her parents in an attic on Mont- 
martre, falls in love with Julien, a 
young poet whose chamber window 
opens on the same court. The par- 
ents fail to sympathize with or under- 
stand the moods of the girl, but try 
to stifle her hopes and longings. The 
lovers are forced to clandestine meet- 
ings. At last the poet goes to the 
shop where Louise is employed and 
persuades her to away with him. They 
_ are very happy in a tiny cottage on 
the crest of the hill of Montmartre, 
with all Paris lying at their feet. T here 
cn a fete day, Louise is crowned as 
the muse of Montmartre. In the 
midst of the festivities -ome- the 
nother bringing word that the father 
is ill and calling for his lost daughter. 
Louise agrees to go back only on the 
understanding that she shall be allow- 
ed to return to Julien. To this the 
mother agrees. Later, the mother 
retracts her promise. The father al- 
ternately pleads and commands, but 
the cry of the city and longing for Ju- 
lien are greater than the filial feeling 
and when at last the door is thrown 
_ open and harshly she is bidden to go 
forever, she rushes out toward that 
city of joy on which her gaze has been 
riveted.
