Versatile Tenor Sang With Grace Moore All the glamor of the Metropoli tan opera itself is in store for Uni versity students when Raoul Jobin, outstanding Metropolitan tenor, is presented in a concert at 8 p.m., Thursday, October 26, at McArthur court. .Mr. Jobin will sing such varying numbers as the classical “Aupres de Toi” by John Sebastian Bach, and the more modern ‘‘Claire de Lune” by Claude Debussy. A high light of the evening will be his pre sentation of the romantic “Flower Song” from “Carmen,” by George Bizet. Mr. Jobin is well known for his iterpretation of Don Jose in the opera “Carmen.” Also included on the program will be a Buccini aria from the opera “Tosca”; “Car men,” by Jean Clergue; “Toujours” by Gabriel Faure, and other selec tions. Mr. Jobin made his operatic jjjfbut in France in the role of the hot-tempered Tybalt in “Romeo and Juliet”—a role which he has repeated many times in Europe and South America. Following his debut, he toured the European continent where he made 111 ap pearances in fifteen months. From Europe he went to South America, where he sang at the Teatro Municipal in Rio de Janiero. Since his debut in the United States, he has become one of the leading tenors of the country. One factor which has contributed to his success is his ability to play widely varied roles—and enjoy them all, from Faust to Hoffman. Critics say that each performance Jobin makes brings to light new facets of his skill. Twice he has sung opposite Grace Moore — the first time in Paris in 1935, where the two artists were starred in Charpentier’s “Louise,” and in 1940 in New York, where he made his debut at the Metropolitan opposite Miss Moore as Des Grieux in the opera "Ma rion." Mr. Jobin is being presented in Eugene by the Civic music associa tion, newly-organized this year. All students are eligible for ad mission by presentation of ASUO cards. Eugene residents who pur chased membership tickets during the pre-season sale may also at tend. This is the first of the series of eight concerts scheduled for the 1944-45 season. Appears RAOUL JOBIN Thursday in concert at McArthur court.
