when opera singers are paid enormous salaries—
and I am very glad this is so—the composer and
his publisher should not have at least a modest
share of the profits.
"Money considerations have no weight in the ex-
pression of my regret that my operas are not to be
heard in the West, but—and I know that you will
not consider me egotistical when I say it—I am
proud that in America there are many thousands
who admire my works and are anxious to hear
them. To these- thousands I had hoped there would
be added many more in Chicago and the West,
who would have a chance to hear 'La Boheme,'
Tosca,' 'Madame Butterfly' and the opera which
I have tried to make redolent of the life beyond
the Mississippi—my 'Girl of the Golden West.'
"I have the verdict of New York and Boston
upon my works. I would like to hear what Chi-
cago, St. Louis, Kansas City, Omaha, Denver and
San Francisco think of them. That is the reason
why I feel so deeply over the action of Mr. Dippel
in shutting me out of that territory."
Richard Strauss, the composer, has signed a con-
tract with Manager Max Reinhardt for the first
performance of the opera "Ariadne in Naxos" at
the Deutsches Theater in Berlin next spring. Hugo
von Hoffmausthall will write the libretto.
