theater review Eugene opera shines occasionally “It had its moments," said the man in front of me walking out of the Eugene Opera's Sa turday night performance of "La Boheme.” I heartily con cur The Opera's debut perfor mance in the Hult Center for the Performing Arts was a mixed success The leading characters could carry the hall and gave a great performance, as well they should Both were played by professional per formers from out of town The chorus, staging and overall back-up for the show were amateurish — a good high f school production Jann Jaffee as Mimi in Giacomo Puccini's "La Boheme," a light opera about the life of Bohemians in Paris circa 1830, acted well and sang beautifully Her voice filled the hall and showed the potential that awaits Eugene's ears, when . professional singers use the Silva Concert Hall But, except for "moments" when the other lead char acters managed to control the hall, the performers were out staged by the hall itself, and outplayed by the Eugene Opera Orchestra The ''moments” occured when Marcello, played by Neil Wilson, former University mu sic professor, and Musetta, played by Amanda England, sang comic duets which light ened the other "moments" of sorrowful arias and duets between Mimi and Rudolfo, played by Bruce Ford The rest of the performance was not up to its surroundings The set designs filled the stage and that's about all. Jerry Wil liams should take a lesson from Firebird set designer Peter Dean Becks The cos tumes were colorful, except ironically for Mimi's, but noth ing spectacular or authentic The supporting roles. Col line, Schaunard, and Benoi t/Alcindoro sung by Nathan Starling, Michael Morgan, and William Martin respectively, were weak Starling and Mor gan were drowned by the or chestra and rarely reached my seat, Orchestra, row V. Martin just couldn't sing I suppose it was heart-rend ing to see the chorus pf Eugene singers and children, but it was not thrilling. If they are Eugene's upcoming hopefuls, then the future of Eugene opera is in question "La Boheme," ironically, was a good choice for Eugene Opera’s opening perfor mance. The Libretto, by Giacosa and lllica, had moments of tragedy and comedy. It was sung in Eng lish. The opera is short (too short, by the way, for four in termissions). However, it was too much of an opera for the Eugene Opera company on the spacious Silva Concert Hall stage by Joan Nyland POLYFOAM Cul rate prices Sleeping pads, mattresses any size BOB'S UPHOLSTERY 258 Polk 343-1856 __525ffn FOAM!
