fWO MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Society and Clubs Rossini Opera Announced by Portland Group "The Barber of Seville," Ros sini's rollicking comic opera, Will be presented November 26 Bt the Portland Public audito rium under the auspices of the Portland Civic Opera associa tion. The "Barber" is the second of three operas scheduled by the Portland group for the 1954-55 season. The first was Mozart's "Don Giovanni" given in Sep tember,' and the third will be "Tosca," by Puccini. Returning to Portland to sing one of the leading roles will be Salvatore Baccaloni, internation aly famous basso-buffo of the Metropolitan Opera company. Baccaloni delighted Portland au diences with his interpretation of Leporello in "Don Giovanni," and his performances of the role of Dr. Bartolo in the f'Barber" are considered tops. Three other popular opera per sonalities will join Baccaloni to do the leading roles of the pro duction. Barbara Gibson, beau tiful young soprano of opera and television will sing Rosina; the handsome Italian baritone from the San Francisco opera, Cesare Bardelli, is listed for Figaro; and the internationally famous Hun garian basso Desire Ligeti is set for the part of Basilio. All four of the leads have sung the "Bar ber of Seville" together and they are being brought to Portland as a team in order to 'make sure that the rapier wit and fast moving humor of Rossini's clas sic are carried off to perfection. Talented local professional singers will complete the roster in addition to the imported stars, and Ariel Rubstein will conduct the Portland Civic Opera orches tra. The production will feature new sets and colorful costumes. Tickets are available by mail or der to the Portland Civic Opera association, PO box 976, Portland.

Monday, November 1, 1954 - ; - Detention Home Topic for PTA; ; Dan Hull Speaks Dan Hull discussed the pro posed juvenile detention home which is a measure on the No vember ballot, at a meeting of Washington Parent-Teacher asso ciation Thursday evening at the school.
