We offer a report on the reopening of the Vienna Opera House by the Editor, who was sent to Europe for a week as the guest of Pan American Airways. The physical and historic background of this famous theatre is described by Paula Harris, Betty H. Poole, the late Paul Planer and Robert Breuer. John Gutman, the Metropolitan's Assistant Manager, writes an imaginary dialogue between the composer Offenbach and one of his most popular prima donnas from his extensive knowledge as the translator of the new Hoffmann libretto. OPERA NEWS introduces a new feature for its twentieth anniversary year, the "return engagement" or reappearance of one outstanding article on the broadcast opera: this week Professor Paul Nettl's account of the actual characters behind Les Contes d'Hoffmann, which first appeared February 21, 1944.
