Met opera opens Hill Centennial
The Metropolitan Opera National Company will perform a presentation of "Susannah," a lusty American opera by Carlisle Floyd, at 8:30 p.m. on Thursday in Hoch Auditorium. This opera, which is the opening event of KU's Centennial celebration, has won the New York Music Critics Circle Award.
Traveling here with 25 principal singers, 32 dancers and 45 orchestra members will be Rise Stevens, co-manager of the touring company. Miss Stevens is in charge of arrangements but does not appear in the performances.
THE MUSICAL DRAMA'S setting has been transferred to the present-day Tennessee Valley.
The story tells of the Elders' discovery of Susannah bathing in the creek sought as a baptismal font. Because of their lust and guilt, the Elders brand Susannah as evil and "of the Devil," and set forth to announce their discovery to the valley's people and to a visiting evangelist.
Lies supplant facts; Susannah is soon an outcast. The evangelist, failing to obtain a confession from the broken and exhausted Susannah, seduces her.
The remainder of the plot details the evangelist's downfall and death and Susannah's bitter resistance to efforts to force her to leave the valley.
THE PRODUCTION is directed by Jose Quintero and stars Maralin and Niska. A portion of tickets are on sale in KU's Murphy Hall and Bell Music Company. Students will be admitted on their ID's.
The company, which has been booked for a tour of 70 cities, is co-sponsored by the Metropolitan Opera and the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.
