MAY CLOSE
PARIS OPERA HOUSE, SCENE OF GREAT OPERATIC TRIUMPHS. ! LONDON, Saturday. The Paris Opera House, the largest in the world, and the scene of Melba's most brilliant triumphs may close this month, owing to lack of funds, declares the Paris correspondent of the Manchester Guardian. The crisis has been precipitated by the resignation of M. Jacques Rouche, the former perfume magnate, who, heedless of. personal gain, has directed the opera's fortunes since 1913. He states that the theatre, is losing £2120 a month, although the Freneh artists are the worst paid in the. world. An appeal is to be made to Parliament for a subsidy. 1 The newspapers declare that the future of French music will be jeopardised by the closing of opera. !
