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
