Wagner's music drama ■•Siegfried.” Mvitli a grand opera east even more nota- , bie than the Metropolitan opera com- ] pany has assembled in its New York pro- | auctions is announced by Ona B. Talbot, j to be given in Indianapolis with the Metropolitan opera house orchestra augmented to 100 men under the direction of Arthur Bodansky, the Metropolitan conductor who succeeded Toscanini. This great musical event is to take place Saturday evening, June 17, at the fair ground Coliseum which is to be fitted for it by special construction of stage sounding
boards and scenery.
The cast is announced as follows: Mme. Gadski or Mme. Kurt Bnnmhllde Mme. Scbumann-Heink Erda Misa Krieda Hampel Waldvogel Johannes gem bach Sjegf.ied * larence Whitehill The Wanderer Otto Ooriu Alb-rich Albert Reis# Mime Carl Braun Fafner
As Given in Harvard Stadium.
The production, Mrs. Talbot says, will be the same as was given before 25,000; persons last year at Harvard stadium, | Harvard university, with the exception 1 that Miss Hempel will sing the part of the |' Waldvogel, or bird s voice, instead of i Mme, Gluck. She announces an immediate; ! opentng of subscriptions to continue until 1 June 1. | ‘‘Siegfried'’ is the third of the cycle of J ou r “King of the Nibelung” music dramas by Richard Wagner, all dealing with a connected mythological story about gods, giants, dwarfs and men, but each drama constructed In such a way that it may be given separately. Separate presentations are especially frequent of the two favorites. '‘Die Walkuere” and ‘•Siegfried,” the second and third of the dramas, the first being “Das Rheingold." and thf* fourth "Die Goetterdaemmerung." Though Siegfried does not appear until the third drama he is the real hero of the entire series. In the drama bearing his name and to be presented in this city, he is shewn in the fearless exurberance of his forest-born youth. His great adventures are first the slaying of a huge dragon and finally the penetration of flames surrounding crags on which the Valkyr, Brunnhilda sleeps, to awaken her. so that she becomes a mortal and his
wife because of his daring.
Story of “Siegfried.’'
The story of ‘•Siegfried,” of course, harks back to the preceding dramas, but has particularly close connections with i "Die Walkuere" or "The Valkyrs,” which ! presents the sad fate Of Siegfried's par- I ents, Siegmimd and Sieglinde, earth-born children of the god Wotan. It was Wotan's spear which caused the breaking of Siegmund's sword into fragments which figure in •'Siegfried.” Wotan, owing to t the jealousy of the goddess Fricka, his wife, reluctantly allows Siegmund to l be killed in combat. It is due to Fricka I also that Wotan reluctantly punishes his I favorite Valkyr daughter, Brunnhilda, for I having aided Siegmund. by condemning i her to sleep on a mountain rock and to ! become the wife of the first man to awake her. At Brunnhllda’s request, a ring of fire has been drawn around her sleeping place, so that no one but a hero will dare penetrate to her. It is this fire which ' protects her through the years in which 1 Siegfried is to grow up from childhood and claim her. Sieglinde, after her husband’s death, dies In giving birth to Siegand leaves the child and her son

with Mimi one of the race of dwarfs. Mimi is a brother of Alberlch, king of the dwarfs, whose magic ring is, at the time when the "Siegfried" drama opens. In the possession of the giant Fafner. who has been transformed into a great, hideous dwarf and lives in a cave guarding
the ring.
Mending of the Sword. Act I shows the dwarf Mimes smithy In the forest. Mime is trying to forge 1 the pieces of sword together for Slegfried. The hero Siegfried rushes in on his timid foster-father and badly scares him with a huge bear he has been driving. Then he takes the new sword and easily breaks It. He now questions Mime about his origin. The dwarf tells him about Siegmund and Sieglinde and the broken sword. Siegfried commands Mime to mend the sword and he goes back into the forest. The god Wotan comes in the guise of the Wanderer. He tells Mime that he who does not know fear will he abie to forge the sword and will also take Mime s head. When Siegfried returns Mime tries to make the vouth understand fear. But Siegfried can not understand. Then Mime tells him of the mighty dragon Fafner in the forest. Siegfried Is eager to go after the dragon, but Mime refuses to mend the sword. Siegfried forges it himself and Is in high glee. Mime plans to murder Siegfried In hts sleep if the youth succeeds in killing the dragon and gaining the ring. Slaying the Dragon. Act II shows a scene before the dragon's cave. Alberich waits. The dwarf hopes to slay the slayer of Fafner and thus get the ring. Wotan announces the coming of the hero to Alberich. The latter awakens the dragon and asks for the ring In return for the warning that may save the dragon’s life. But the dragon refuses him any reward. Siegfried in the forest listens to the lovelv songs of the birds. Now he blows hts horn, arousing the dragon. The beast bears down on him, and Siegfried joyously enters into the combat. He quickly slays the monster. A touch of its blood on his lips makes him understand the wonderful language of the birds. In obedience to the instructions of one of them he enters the cave t- get the ring He obtains it and as he comes out he is enabled to read the treacherous mind of Mime. He kills the dwarf without further ado. Again in the forest he listens to the magic song of the bird. Then he learns of Brunnhilde sleeping on the rocks encircied by fire. The bird guides him to the sleeping Valkyr. Awakening Brunnhilde. Act III presents a wild spot in the mountains. Wotan, fatigued with the struggle, tells Erda, his earth-goddess wife, that he does not fear the end of the gods but welcomes it. He is willing to have Siegfried possess the ring and with Brunnhilde rule the world. But to test Siegfried'* courage he blocks his path With a stroke the hero splinters Wotan's sword and plunges on. Siegfried plunges through the flames and reaches the sleeping Brunnhilde on the rocks. He arouses her with a tender kiss. She is jovous to recognise in him the hero who can save the world Feeling passion for the first time. Siegfreid ardently declares himself Brunnhilde. the goddess, begs him to spare her, but istegfried Ignores her plea and soon Brunnhilde diacovers that she Is only a woman after ail. She sinks into Siegfried's arms and the curtain falls. HURTY WARNS AGAINST BAD SANITARY CONDITIONS
