COMIC OPERA FEATURED IN CONCERT BEFORE STUDENTS On Wednesday, February 6th, a concert arranged by Mrs. William Carringer, the secretary of the Young Musicians' Series Recitals. was presented to the student body. It consisted of Shirlee Emmons, soprano, William McGrath, tenor, and Stanley Sonntag, one of New York,s leading accompanists on the piano. Shirlee Emmons is a recording artist for Victor Red Seal Records. She toured with the world-famous tenor. Lauritz Melchior, won the coveted Marian Anderson Prize in 1954, and last year, with the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, sang Tosca here in Baltimore. William McGrath made his debut with Arturo Toscinini and the NBC Symphony Orchestra, singing Yerdi's Requiem, He has toured Europe, the Ifnited States, and Canada in operatic recitals, and while in Washington, sang a recital at the National Callery. Before the two singers presented their comic opera, they gave a short history of opera. It seems that about the year 1600 a man named Verdi wondered why plays couldnit be sung and acted at the same lime. Therefore an opera is a play in music as opposed to a play with music. He modeled the music after the chants sung in contemporary churches, and the plays were acted right on the front steps of the church. Later, men like Mozart stressed the music more. making a greater scale, and at the same time making the operas more realistic. Miss Emmons pointed out that there are two kinds of opera, the Classic which stresses the musical -aspect, and the Romantic which lays more importance on the story or plot. The opera Miss Emmons and Mr. McGrath sang was the comic opera entitled, The Secret of Suzanne, by Ferrari. It is the story of a jealous Count and his young, pretty wife, Suzanne, who is hiding some sort of secret. It takes place in Italy about the year 1910. In brief the plot is this: The Count, after coming in from the garden, smells tobacco smoke. He immediately suspects, since women did not smoke at that time, that she has a secret lover. He queries the maid, but she indicates nothing is amiss, so he determines to find out from his wife. He tries to question her in a round-about way, but succeeds only in making her angry and working himself up into a temper. He then repents of his suspicions and makes up, but she unwittingly renews his anger by suggesting that he go to the Club. He thinks that this would afford her an opportunity to see her lover. He decides to go so that he might return secretly and catch her in the act. He returns, but only succeeds in catching Suzanne in the act of smoking. The Count is so overjoyed that he forgives her petty sin and tries it himself. The opera ends with the happy scene of everybody smoking peacefully. 88
