Mr. Papi will conduct. ,.Andrea Chenier" W edneaday None of the dramatic operas makes more trying demands upon its principals than "Andrea Chenier," but Ravinia is fortunate in having a cast well endowed for the requirements of the various roles of this work. When it is given on Wednesday night, August 22, Mme. Rethberg will be heard as Madeleine, one of the most outstanding parts of her repertoire, while Edward Johnson, who recently sang the name part at Ravinia for the · first time, will again appear as the revolutionary poet.

Others in the cast are Mr. Mojica, Mr. D'Angelo, Miss Falco, Mr. Ananian and Miss Correnti. Miss Ruth Page and ballet will appear in the incidental dances. Mr. Papi will conduct.
