The chief guest was simple as a child, his dark piercing eyes rarely lighting up with a smile. He was "bearded like the pard,’ and he had a crushing hand-shake. As the great tenor was singing it was observed that the composer was busily wiping furtive tears off his check.

"Il Trovatore" Verdi’s great tragic opera, "Il Trovatore," is indeed a _ hardy perennial, This opera in the old tradition is almost folk-lore, and it has been presented all over the world since it was first produced at Rome in 1853. The plot is involved and tells, briefly, the story ot Manrico, who was taken at birth by a gipsy and grew up as her son but was in reality of a noble family. The opera ends on a terrible note of vengeance. "Il Trovatore" (or, as it is in English, "The Troubadour") will be presented from 1YA Auckland at 8.30 p.m. on Sunday, November 26.
