BUTLER

BLOOMINGTON, May 5-Indiana University opera will have its biggest test next Tuesday when Dean Wilfred C. Bain’s music faculty and students put on “Rigoletto” for Metropolitan Opera visitors. Nearly 100 of the visitors already have signed up in

advance for “comps”

at1p m Tickets will be available

at the box office for the

general public interested in seeing Metropolitan stars, directors, technicians and musicians at close range. ! For student participants in Verdi's opera, the occasion will be a kind of wholesale Metropolitan audition. In fact, this may be the first time in .operatic history that a top professional company has attended en masse a student production. - o = ” CERTAINLY the IU opera ventures are history-making.

They astonish even stage director Hans Busch and music

+-director- Ernst-Hoffman. -

Mr. Busch in particular believes nothing like the IU productions has ever been achieved elsewhere. Looking back over his own experience in learning stage-craft and direction, he says, “These kids don’t know how fortunate they are. There was nothing like this in Europe when I was growing up.” .With plant, equipment and talent, Dean Bain's School of

Music also has a big fund of youthful energy which takes in stride the long hours and drudgery of putting on a big show like ‘‘Rigoletto.” Mr. Busch’'s opera workshop youngsters turn from starsinging to scene-shifting and from acting to backstage ropepulling with versatile zest. The Duke who looks resplendent tonight in hired costume in the sumptuous .palace scene, tomorrow night may be in dungarees working like a longshoreman backstage. » u »n IT ISN'T.ENOUGH just to put on a show, Mr. Busch explains. “I could tell these youngsters what to do—when to ¢ome on and “go off stage, and they could learn that way. But I'm trying to teach them the meaning of what they're doing. If they're going to be good in opera, they must understand motivation. They must know why they do what they do.” Last Tuesday I sat in on a typical opera-workshop session. On a stage laden with heavy “Rigoletto” scenery that looked

students. “You must learn always to watch the conductor.” In the midst of the singing, Mr. Busch would lead his students back and forth, helping them make gestures, as if he were patiently teaching paralytics to walk. I got a better notion than ever before of how much technique and co-ordina-‘tion goes into this business of acting while singing. » » L J ON MAY 26, the opera workshop will give its first roundup of excerpts from operas and operettas the students have been learning. With curtains and lights, but no scenery, the young people will do episodes from “The Magic Flute,” “La Tosca,” ‘“Fledermaus,” ‘“Carmen,” “Madame Butterfly,” “Porgy and -Bess;!"" “The Medium” and “Kiss Me, Kate.” That range gives a notion of the workshop’s versatility. It's the kind of thing that will come in handy in the students’ later years, when many of them will be teaching other students how to produce opera.
