A Fairy Opera in Three Acts
Libretto by JACQUES CHENEVIERE
English Translation by HERMANN KLEIN
ACT I
Cast :
THE WIRELESS CHORUS
Chorus Master, STANFORD ROBINSON
THE WIRELESS SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA
Leader, S. KNEALE KELLEY
Conducted by PERCY PITT
AUBERT'S fairy tale opera, The Blue Forest, was finished in 1910. Its rather delicate and elusive charm failed to enlist the interest of the Paris Opera, and it was in Boston, U.S.A., that it was first performed in 1913. The tale is made up of three of the best known fairy tales, ' Hop o' my Thumb,' ' Red Riding Hood,' and ' The Sleeping Beauty.' Less obvious in its appeal than Humperdinck's ' Hansel and Gretel,' and without its folk-lore element, it caters none the less equally well for the young people who hear only three of their beloved stories presented with a new charm, and for the music lover who can realize something of the grace and delicacy of the score.
An article on the work, by Watson Lyle , the music critic, will be found by listeners in the Christmas number of Cassell's Magazine.
