ENGLISH OPERA
Tho success of the English performance* by British artists of "Madame Butterfly" at Covent Garden is a striking proof of the , progress of native art (states; tho London "News"). On tlle other hand, music in London is—with one obvious reservation—as international as ever. Nearly every European nation is represented at Covent Garden. In one week we have a Festival of. Czcoho-Slovak music by Czecho-Slovak artists at Queen's Hall'. Thero are apparently more French and Belgian players and singers in London than ■ ever before, and there is an interesting series of concerts of early Italian musio. A special feature of this is that all tlie pieces in the programme are taken from the national collection which has been made during the war under tho guidance of a small committee headed by Gabriele D'Annunzio. Tho programmes contain an occasionally quaint translation of the preface he has written, which js a fine specimen of his fervent rhetoric and picturesque im. agery. .
