Gus

After its first presentation in New York, Gounod's "Faust" immediately became one of the major operas in the managerial rivalries of the 60's, 70's and 80's. During these stormy periods, it was apparently always sung in Italian. Whether or not the opera was produced in French earlier than the above date, the present compiler has been unable to determine. tav Kobbé, in his "Complete opera book" (New York, 1919), p. 563, says: "Popular in this country from the night of its American production, Gounod's 'Faust' nevertheless did not fully come into its own here until during the Maurice Grau régime at the Metropolitan Opera House." The Grau régime belongs to the 90's. The above French performance was given by a French

troupe from New Orleans under the management of De Beauplan: the company only played a few nights and then went on strike.

The first open air presentation in New York of this opera was given on Aug. 8, 1925, in English, at Ebbets Field, Brooklyn. The performance was broadcast by radio through station WNYC, New York.

First performed in America: Philadelphia, Academy of Music, Nov. 8, 1876, in Italian. That Wagner's opera should have been introduced to the American opera public in the Italian language is a curious fact, about which there has been some doubt. According to W. G. Armstrong's "A record of the opera in Philadelphia" (Philadelphia, 1884), p. 199, the title of Wagner's opera at this performance given in Italian, the German soprano, Mme. Eugenie Pappenheim singing the part of Senta. On p. 225. Armstrong specifies an Italian production of the opera on April 16, 1883, at the Academy of Music, as the "first time here in Italian." Mme. Albani singing the part of Senta. The report of the first performance in the "Signale" (Leipzig, Jan., 1877), p. 19, clearly states that the language sung at the first rendition of Wagner's opera in America was Italian. The opera

was performed three times, according to Armstrong. The company, of which Mme. Pappenheim was a member, was headed for New York, but disrupted before reaching its destination. Gotthold Carlberg was the musical director of the troupe. An English performance of Wagner's opera took place in Philadelphia at the Academy of Music on March 7, 1877.
