Opera Guild To Present 'Bartered Bride'
The University Light Opera guild will present Bedrich Smetana's "The Bartered Bride" in Fraser theater Feb. 4, 5, 7 and 8.
Nearly 100 students will take part in the production. No academic credit for the work is given and practice is held outside class hours.
The production is given by students selected from honorary University musical organizations, Mu Phi Epsilon, Phi Mu Alpha and Sigma Alpha Iota, and the University Players.
Gerald M. Carney, associate professor of music education, is director of music for the production. Tom Shay, instructor in speech, is dramatics director. Clayton Krehbiel instructor in music education, is choral director. Leo Horacek, instructor in music education, is assistant musical director. Technical consultant for the production is G. Criss Simpson, associate professor of organ and theory.
"The Bartered Bride," a comic opera, has its setting in a Bohemian village in 1850 on a Feast day.
The story centers around the efforts of Kezal, the marriage broker, to arrange the marriage of Marie, the heroine, to Vashek, a simple peasant lad.
The first production of the Light Opera guild, which was formed in 1782 and included the musical fraternities, was the Others and Sullivan show. "The Mikado."
But Marie is in love with Jenik, and the plot develops as the young lovers try to outwit the marriage broker.
A stage band, ballet dancers, harlequinus, acrobats, sword swallowers and a strong man are included in the opera. A dancing ensemble, a singing chorus and an orchestra will be used for the performances.
Subsequent productions have included "The Gondoliers," another Gilbert and Sullivan production, Herbert's "Sweethearts," and "The Pink Lady" by Karyll.
