Puccini's Le Villi at the Metropolitan Opera
Puccini’s first opera Le Villi receives a lengthy critique amid Cavalleria Rusticana on the Met program. The reviewer calls Le Villi better as ballet material than opera, notes Bruncio and Caruso performances, Emmy Destinn’s singing, Toscanini’s conducting, and the festive New York reception.

Mischa Elman Recital at Carnegie Hall Shows Brilliance and Flaws
The young Russian violinist Mischa Elman impressed in his New York debut at Carnegie Hall with genius potential and technical mastery. Critics note overemphasis and brilliancy that at times distract from pure intonation, especially in Lalo Spanish Symphony. Bach and Handel pieces reveal his breadth and repose, while Liachowsky’s piano accompaniment provides refined support.
