Opera Workshop Ends KU Theater Season
By DEE RICHARDS
Seven misses and a hit provided an excellent hour's entertainment for a small, but appreciative crowd of opera lovers last night in Fraser theater.
The Opera workshop presented scenes from "The Marriage of Figaro" by Mozart; "Lakme" by Delibes; "Der Freischutz" by Von Weber, and "Manon" by Massenet.
The seven misses were Shirley Westwood, fine arts senior, as the countess and Charlotte Nan Bayless, education junior, fine arts senior, as Lakme and Geraldine Johnigan, special student in fine arts, as Mallika in "Lakme."
Gretta Reetz, fine arts senior as Agnes and Peggy Wilson, fine arts junior," as Annie in "Der Freischutz," and Nan Noyes, graduate
student, as Manon in "Manon."
The hit was William Wilcox, graduate student, as Des Grieus in "Manon."
All performers showed voices of rare quality and range and were deserving of their curtain calls.
Reinholt Schmidt, professor of voice and musical director of the production, in the absence of programs filled in with short summaries of the operas and the scenes presented.
Flexible sets excellently portraying moods and situations, and the masterful stage direction of Dr. John Newfield, director of the University theatre, moved the program rapidly from scene to scene providing a brief but pleasant closing to KU's theater season.
Marionette Show To Be Presented
"Off with her head," and "Get me the moon" will be two familiar phrases in the "Alice in Wonderland" and "Many Moons" marionette shows which will be presented by the art education students at 4:15 p.m. today in Strong auditorium.
Maud Ellsworth, associate professor of education, said the purpose of the course is to teach University students the methods and procedures of teaching marionettes in junior high schools. The students learn how to organize a class, help the children choose their own subjects, and learn how to adapt materials to different age levels.
The shows, which are the final exams for the students, are each a half hour long, and the scripts were each written by the students.
The stage, which belongs to the University, is the type of stage the students would use in a junior high school production. The students were divided into property and back drop committees, and each student made his own marionette's costume.
The marionettes are made of papier-mache, cloth, and plastic wood. The costumes range from corduroy to organdy and velvet and are detailed to fit the individual characters in the play. The marionettes contain movable heads and limbs, which are manipulated from above by strings and wires.
