BOSTON OPERA HOUSE 
The opening week of the Boston 
Opera Company, besides presenting 
a well-balanced repertoire of unusual 
interest, will bring forward a num- 
ber of impontant new singers. The 
opening night with its brilliant per- 
formance of “The Jewels of the 
Madonna” will afford opportunity 
for Mme. Margherita D’Alvarez and 
M. Mario Ancona to make their Bos- 
ton debut, and will re-introduce Mr. 
Ferrari-Fontana. 
Mme. D’Alvarez was born in Peru 
but received ther ‘training in Brus- 
sels, where, after her graduation 
from the conservatoire, she was ap- 
pointed concert-singer to King Leo- 
pold. Her great operatic triumphs 
have been won at the Opera in Paris, 
at Covent Garden, in London, and at 
La Scala, in Milan. 
Mario Ancona, baritone, will make 
his debut as a member of the Boston 
Opera Company. 
“Faust,” on Wednesday night, will 
be the occasion of ‘the debut of two 
celebrated singers:—Lucien Mura- 
tore, tenor, and Paolo Ludikar, basso. 
M. Muratore is the most prominent 
tenor of the Paris Opera. 
Paolo Lwadikar is a Bohemian 
whose first operatic successes were 
won in Germany. For the past three 
seasons he has been singing in Italy 
and South America, where he has 
met with constant triumphs. The 
Italian critics acclaim him as jan un- 
usual combination of a wonderful 
voice, rare artistic taste, and admir- 
able versatility. He will be heard 
twice during the opening week, as 
Mephistopheles in “Fiaust,” and as 
Koenig Marke in ‘“‘Tristan und 
Tsolde.” 
Friday night’s performance of 
“Tosca” will present Mary Garden as 
Tosca, and Vanni Marcoux as Scar- 
pia. “Boston will not soon forget thie 
realistic version of some of the 
scenes of this opera thiat were given 
by these same principals last year. 
On Saturday afternoon, Mme. 
Margarete Matzenauer will assume 
the role of Isolde, for the first time 
in America. 
The popular performance of “Lucia 
di Lammermoor” on Saturday even- 
ing, which will present Evelyn Scot- 
ney as Lucia, will effect the debut of 
Vincenzo T'anlongo as Edgar, 
The Sunday -oncerts which have 
been so well received in seasons past 
will be given again this winter, on 
Sunday evenings. The first of the 
series will be on the evening of Nov. 
30th,
