Sir Beerbolvm Tree and Mr. -Tlionns Beechani havo produced Strauss's opera, "Ariadne in Naxos" at His Majesty's Theatre. It is a new departure to hear of grand opera being produced at Her Majesty's Theatre, London, and that in conjunction with Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree, ill the middle of the Covent Garden season.

Richard Strauss, whose wort "Ariadne" lias now been performed for the first timo in London, i<= tho composer of "Salome" and "Elektra."
