"Figaro" Slated
At Pelican Monday
Last of Concert Series To Be Enjoyed by Klam
eth Falls Music Lovers
IU success In New York and other cities Indicates that ths
new and exciting production of "The Marriage of Figaro" to
be heard here on Monday evening at eight o'clock under the
auspices of the Klamath Community Concert association is do
ing more to popularize opera in America than anything in
years. The performance is in English in a notable translation
by the great contemporary English librettist and critic, Edward
Dent. This is ths translation which Grove's authoritative Dic
tionary of Music and Musicians credits with having "set a new
standard In English translation of opera."
. By substituting a narrator
in the manner of Our Town
for the usual cumbersome op
eratic sets the Figaro troupe
can "travel light." As a re
sult they are able to bring this
acknowledged masterpiece of
opera buff to places where
opera was only a name before.
When this production was
done in New York Gotham's
hardboiled critics were united
in their enthusiasm for a
Figaro which could be as
hilarious as a George Kauf
man comedy and yet fulfill
the highest standard of musi
cal excellence. James Whit
taker in the New York Mirror
called it "an utterly disarm
ing and delicious performance
of the same opera which set
the town afire in Metropoli
tan Opera performance last
season. It is recalled that, in
the "Met," the audience lis
tened gravely while the cast
sang farce. Only those who
understood Italian were per
mitted to laugh out loud . . .
Honestly, it would be hard to
say which of the two per
formances of Figaro gave the
most pleasure."
It was high praise w h e a
Virgil Thomson who composed
the music to Gertrude Stein's
words in the opera Four
Saints In Three Acts wrote
" "From Row J I heard and dis
tinguished without effort
literally every word pro
nounced or sung -on the Town
Hall stage even in the con
certed numbers. Believe me or
not, it's God's truth I'm tell
ing you!" Having tackled the
problem to making Stein ese
intelligible over the footlights
no one was in a better posi
tion to know the importance
of good diction!
The young artists responsi
ble for this feat met in New
York at the Juilliard Gradu
ate school which has pro
duced such great Metropoli
tan voices as the baritone,
Julius ' Huehn, the tenor,
Charles Kullman, and the
mezzo-soprano, Rise Stevens.
Their talents had won them
scholarships but they were al
ready seasoned troupers. Six
of them had sung under the
well known conductor, Albert
StoesseL in his Chautauqua
Opera company. All of them
had won concert laurels.
Coming from places as far
separated as California and
South Carolina they are ail
American, born and bred.
They liked the American pub
lic and they liked Mozart and
they knew that the two would
like each other if given a
chance.
Audiences everywhere have
echoed the praise of the New
York Herald-Tribune's music
critic who wrote: "Never have
I seen an audience enjoy,
never have I myself enjoyed
Figaro with such whole
hearted gusto."

o'clock and closed at half past
four. It was given in Its en
