62 LEGITIMATE.
By: ROBERT J LANDRY,
_ On Wednesday: fast, 50 years. to | the day, Nov. 20, 1913, of his debut. at the . Metropolitan ° -Opera; Gio|.
vanni Martinelli was the ‘hero. of a “Gala” at. $11 top to-raise $55, 000.
forthe Me€. association, and guild.
The concert, as such. was'.a bit.on the dull: But against ‘that every
body elearly Was “hurraying. for the.
tenor ‘who spent 33 years (36 roles, 650. perforimances! at the” -house,. became an. American and a
familiar: figure of the town: . He. is. a handsome man. still, with a mag-}
hificent white mane, and ‘he. read an amusing acceptance 7 .fronr the. stage.
Martinelli joked about" being more nervous. at the gala ‘than 50 years, ago at his debut. “Ah, the recklessness of youth, 7, he sighed, He also. referred to-once. conking
out, on the: Met stage. during... his
long enreer, -when: indigestion: -smote him in the_ ‘midst of. “Aida.”
He assured “his. Hsteners ‘that | ‘he | wouid limit himself to ‘his remarks, ' “i understand that. when. this gala was first considered there™
adding:
Was some alarm: lest 1. should. ex~peet to sing.”
It. wasthe cerenidnial: oceasion |= which made the evening. This came |]! after the second intermission. and:|{} before. the ‘Triumphal Scene. from tH! On. the. stage. ‘grouped |= around a table and a “microphone. (yes “a. mike at. the Met!) were an. S array Of retired opera singers, in: |} °: who . came |: Spanish ‘Inquisition. . background ‘was welcomed -‘baek ‘to the Met after a. three-year: absence. . ‘When: ‘it ushered -in the: “Bing-peried”. i .1950-the then’ new: ‘production: de-.|.
“Aida.”
cluding ~ Eva. ‘Turner, aver from London, though. | she herself never sang at the. house.One ‘by ore . chairman °..Lauder’ Greenway gracefully. introduced. the. ladies (seated! and the-men; stand-ing to the rear. ‘same . sort OF sentimentality as. felt ina baseball. park: on. Old. Timers Day.
LiciaAlbanese, new at: the ‘business of being. retired, came‘alpha: tically first and was . warmly. hailed. There was: ‘the Tunning: surprise .of recall ‘for: Rase Bamp--tion, Anna! Case, .Maria ‘Jeritza, Ruth Miller, Carmella. Ponselle (but: not. Rosa, -who sent a message ‘from | Baltimore), © -Bidu .-Sayao, John Brownlee;.. Alexander’ Sved, Thomas. Chalmers, .and. Freder:ck Jagel,. in late -years: soloist: at” the:
Christian Science: Mother Church.
of Boston.
Martinelli was a dreat artist; ‘one . in|}
of the. greatest. His *-place. operatic history is assured. But. he was, and ‘is, also clearly .a diplo-.
mat of the rarest urbanity: There
was a hint of this when -he spoke of. having : known. -and « “lov ed”. three recimes at the Met... The .in
siders laughed. -and.“fone more. :. knowingly than. tie. -present ruler, t Rudolf. Bing: who ‘was part ‘of the,
cluster of personages. on stage, “*; Delivery ©
duly .announced. and: “the. thing. placed | in Martinelli’s ° hands: ° diplomacy. rose’: ‘supreme to fhe temptation. ‘which ‘less’ noble personalities could: nothave. -resisted.. Thelaurel looked like nothing’ ‘SO much as: a funeral. parlor: wreath ‘and the atedience would have roared. had Martinelli given‘even ‘momentary” .éncouragement | to. the association ‘of idezs..—
The ceremonies: “which: brought L out a small. bevy ‘of . fews -pho-|:
tographers, were dignified; “$warming and not too long. Would that. the concert: had been ‘equally ap
pealing.. However, there was noth-'|’: ing but ‘one solo after anothér, each |:
“woman in fancy... gown, each: .man in tails.. Some. of the ‘solos:were. fairly splendid. MacNeil’s opening: ‘‘Pagliacei” (he
alone ‘Wore costume) -and. Zinka
Milanov’s: “Ave. “Maria” ‘from {| “Otello.” | Giorgia: Tozts “Boc-| eaneera” and Robert “Merrill's. “Chenier:”
.. Apparently a gala‘i ‘is ‘put. together! en the basis of: each ‘singer making: his or hor own’ choice:.of song. ‘there is no conflict,” there. is. no: objection raised. Unhappily Sseveral chose non‘pyrotechnical | ‘works, .notably Rita Gorr: . Ceasar Sieppi.
Jerome Hines: and Jan ‘Peerce.
John, Alexander replaced the first; |
the Peeree ‘solo was omitted. Even one duet. would have: been,
‘a happy ‘thing in the: ‘monotonous |parade’ of singles, éach © separated . by a stage? wait’ and all: singing | against what vaudeville houses ‘of | yore would have called: the. “Palace: a
fanty box. set.”
