The opera will be sung in Eng lish with performances on Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m. and Sun day at 2:30 p.m. All performances will be in Ball Concert Hall. According to the production's musical director and producer, Leslie Breidenthal, La Traviatais one of the ten most popular operas on the stage today. It was composed by Giuseppe Verdi in 1853 and based on the stage ver sion of Alexandre Dumas the younger's novel, The Lady of the Camellias, a best-seller of the 1840’s. “The music in the opera is very singable with melodies that you might find yourself humming after hearing,” Breidenthal says and adds, La Traviata is an opera about the metamorphosis of its main character, Violetta. She rises to prominence among the kept women of Paris (La Traviata means “the wayward one”) and Watch out Back Door! A celebration of the Gluteus Maximus BEST BUTT NIGHT *MEN & WOMEN!

Alfredo returns her love but his father, Germont, objects to the liaison which creates some difficult prob lems for the two lovers to over come.” Performing the roles of Violetta and Alfredo will be soprano Mari Jo Tynon and tenor Guy Aydelott, both of whom ap peared in the Eugene Opera’s production of Carmen in Feb ruary. The role of Germont will be performed by Baritone Christ opher Ryan. “Violetta is one of the most de manding singing roles for so prano,” says Breidenthal. “We decided to produce La Traviata because we were lucky enough to have Mari Jo here this year. She has the happy combination of the lyric and dramatic qualities re quired for the role.” Tickets for the opera are $3 for the general public and $1.50 for children, students, and senior citi zens and may be purchased in advance at the School of Music’s main office or at the door. TU, r All my children I By GLEN OZONEWOOD Of the Emerald David Thorton sure has a way of opening people up. Not surprising since he’s a surgeon, but really, people seem to be able to talk to him. Wednesday, Kristina Karas finally spilled the big secret: She killed her father. Since her arrival in Pine Valley it’s been obvious that Kristina re sented her father’s attempts to force her to be a surgeon. But un able to fight the pressure from her father, Kristina went on to medical school and practiced surgery for about a year until one day when she froze at the operating table. Kristina's inability to perform so enraged her father that he forced her to return to the hospital in the dead of night and attempted to coerce her into operating on a cadaver. He made what proved to be a fatal mistake when he forced a scapel into her hand — it ended up sticking in his chest. We don’t know how Kristina escaped pro secution or even if she did, but I’m sure we ll learn in time. And Ann has returned to the liv ing, not quite as sharp as one might hope, but returned nonethe less. As the hopeful crowd cloisted around her bed, Ann opened her eyes and warmed as she recognized everyone, except Paul. Not only didn't she warm, she didn’t even know who he was. Could be that she just decided that she dislikes him so much that she is going to block him out of her mind. I think Paul is ripe for a little extra-marital action. But even if Ann moved closer to life, Kitty slipped closer to death. Line and Myrtle went to see Kitty's doctor today, and the prognosis is as bad as ever. In fact, the situa tion is about to take a turn for the worse. Kitty, you see, has never been told that she's not long for the planet. But through a series of discoveries she found out about Line and Myrtle s visit with the doc tor and that knowledge has set her mind spinning She s beginning to read things into the reactions of those around her and is well on the way to dis covering the truth. Phil's looking better every time we see him, but the situation at home is far from blissful. Little Phil didn't take the idea of the new baby too well, in fact he s using it as an excuse to go live with Chuck. Chuck nixed the idea even though we all know it's what he d really like. Chuck really gets kicked everytime he turns around I mean, not only does he have to turn little Phil down every time he starts talking about moving home, but Wednesday, Tara asked him to open up a bedroom window. So there he was, his ex-wife at his side and that big double bed empty and waiting. It’s more than a grown man should have to deal with.
