We are glad to offer a picturesque sheaf of pictures relating to the Metropolitan Opera House which has been used through the years for many other purposes beside performances of opera. The present installment of these Echoes in Paint and Plaster covers the period from the opening of the theatre in 1883 to the fire of 1892. Herbert F. Peyser, some of whose fine articles for OPERA NEWS appear in our 1948 publication, Opera Lover's Companion, returns to his series of analyses on the broadcast operas in this issue. We congratulate Mr. Peyser on his recent appointment as program annotator of the New York Philharmonic Symphony Society.
