ROSA PONSELLE IS
GOT CREDIT FOR
OPERA'S REVIVAL
"La Forza.del IDe-tino
Was Made Popular by
Singer
Filled with the surging force of
youth that is not to be balked Rosa
Ponselle sensational young dramatic
soprano of the Metropolitan Opera
company numbers among her other
distinctions that of having brought to
life an opera considered dead in
America.
Her appearance in concert at the
City auditorium Friday eveninfwill
come very near to marking the fifth
anniversary of 1'onselle's astounding
debut at the Metropolitan with Car-
uso in ".Verdi's La Forma del Dea-
tino." At that time performances of
the somber "opera of death" had
almost ceased on this aide of tha At-
lantic although it has always been a
favorite abroad. But Ponselle' s sing-
ing of the role of Lenora swept the
piece back into popularity. Since
then she has sung the part innumer-
able times to overflow audiences.
The role does not proTide her witb
the opportunities for display of her
brilliant rangeand volume that those
of a number of other operas do but
it remains at the head of the list in
her affection for obvious reasons.
the program selected by Ponselle
for her Houston concert is a par-
ticularly happy one. The scope ia
great including the moat simple melo-
dies of tbe type of "Annie Laurie'1
and some of the most brilliant and
eiacting arias from the operas in
which the vital young soprano cap-
tured tbe guerdon of fame. Ponselle
is "everybody's singer."
She appears in Houston under tbe
direction of Mrs. Edna W. Saunders.
Seats are on sale on tbe first floor
of Harris-Hahlo's.
