We are happy to know that he will remainwith Central Opera Service as its Honorary Chairman, and only regret that hismany other duties prevent him from playing the more active role of NationalChairman.

NEW OPERAS AND PREMIERES

AMERICAN OPERAS

American composer Dominick Argento will have two new operas premiered herethis season. The previously announced COLONEL JONATHAN AND THESAINT is scheduled for December 31 by the Denver Lyric Opera and his latestwork, POSTCARD FROM MOROCCO, was premiered by the Center OperaCompany in Minneapolis on October 14. The company commissioned the workwhich has a libretto by John Donahue, director of the Children's Theatre inMinneapolis. While Argento has written for the Center Opera before, this com-mission was especially significant since he knew all members of the company and,in his own words, "wrote every note with the particular singer/actor in mind".The company describes Postcard from Morocco as a "wacky and exotic work withcartoon-like effects". After five repeat performances in Minneapolis, the companywill take the Argento opera and one of last season's new productions, FaustCounter Faust, on a tour which will include performances in Chicago in November.

YOUNG CAESAR is the title of Lou Harrison's third opera, which was given itsfirst performance at the Cabrillo Music Festival in Aptos, Calif., on August 21.Although it is a puppet opera, it is by no means conceived for children. Thecomposer has chosen this medium for experimental expression and the opportunityto mix Oriental and Western music. One of the composer's earlier operas isRapunzel, written for young audiences. — A new children's opera, also based onthe familiar fairy-tale and titled RAPUNZEL, has music by M. Brooks. It was per-formed for the first time last season by Binghamton's Tri-Cities Opera Co.

Last season, the Center performed his THATMORNING THING for amplified voices and tape and, during the current season, itwill premiere IN MEMORIAM . . .

The work is a satire on the influence of Madison Avenue. Mr. Hodkinsonis composer-in-residence in the Twin-Cities, a Ford Foundation sponsored position.Martin Kalmanoff's sixteenth opera is based on Gertrude Stein's play PHOTO-GRAPH, and carries the same title. It is written for one soprano, playing a doublerole. While she is on stage, a sound-movie of her double action is projected ontothe stage. The premiere was given by the After Dinner Opera Co. last summer inLake Placid with repeat performances in Westport, Conn.Gardiner Read, composer-in-residence at Boston University, has based his newthree-act opera on the life of the 15th century poet, Francois Villon, as representedin the play The Other Heart by James Forsyth.

LE TESTAMENT DE VILLON will be given itsAmerican premiere by the Western Opera Theatre at the University of Calif, inBerkeley on November 13. The orchestration is by Pound and George Antheiland was completed in 1923. The work received a concert performance in Parisin 1926 and was presented at the Spoleto Festival in 1967 as a ballet.

SPECIAL COS ANNOUNCEMENTS (see also Inside Cover)

The 1970-71 Opera Survey conducted jointly by Opera News and Central OperaService has been completed and the results will be published in an article titled FromDafne to Superstar in Opera News, January 8, 1972. Just a brief mention shouldbe made here of the overall results which show that both performances (5246)and performing groups (685) have increased over the previous year. A most en-couraging result!

The Central Opera Service National Conference in Washington on November 4,5, and 6, was certainly the most successful, best attended and most productivemeeting the organization has ever held. Three hundred and twenty-seven regis-trants and guests, representing one hundred and forty-six organizations, partici-pated. Days were spent in informative and hard working sessions while eveningsoffered time for socializing and visits to the Kennedy Center. One of the high-lights was the reception at the White House by Mrs. Nixon who most graciouslynot only shook hands with everyone but found something special to say to eachguest. Another most pleasurable outing was the visit to the Wolf Trap Farm Parkwhere Mrs. Jouette Shouse greeted every visitor personally. Full and/or excerptedspeeches and panel discussions will be published in a later issue of the COS Bul-letin. Meanwhile, our sincere thanks to the many participants who specially wroteto thank us and to let us know how much the Conference meant to them.

It is with a deep sense of loss that we announce the sudden and untimely deathsof two of our founding members. Mme. Rose Palmai-Tenser and her dear friend,Dr. Elemer Nagy, died within two days of each other, Mme. Rose, as she wasknown to all of us, in London while on vacation in August and Dr. Nagy inHartford, while preparing the summer production at his Hartt Opera Theatre.Our deepest sympathies go to their families and friends; their unselfish and un-swerving devotion to art and their warm personalities will be missed by all of us.

NEWS FROM OPERA COMPANIES

It is good news indeed, that the NEW YORK CITY OPERA COMPANY is fol-lowing a course of slow but steady expansion. Both Fall and Spring seasons inits home at Lincoln Center are getting longer. For the first time, the Fall seasonis running for eleven weeks featuring 86 performances of 17 operas, includingthree new productions. The Spring season will be almost ten weeks long and willoffer two additional new productions, one a first New York performance (Hoiby'sSummer and Smoke). In November, the company is fulfilling its three-week en-gagement at the Los Angeles Music Center (twenty-one performances of tenoperas) and it will be returning there for the same length season for the fifth con-secutive year in 1972. Further, it was just announced that, following its New YorkSpring season, there will be a two-week guest appearance at the Kennedy Centerin Washington in May. Although the summer performances at Caramoor Festival(Katonah, N.Y.) and at Wolf Trap Farm Park (Vienna, Va.) are not completeN. Y. City Opera Company productions, some do offer employment opportunitiesprimarily to artists with the company and, thus, are at least a partial extension ofthe season. And, of course, there is the pre-season rehearsal time. — The companyalso announced some of its future new productions. Completing the Donizettitrio of Bel Canto operas begun last season with Roberto Devereux, the 1972Spring season will bring a new production of Maria Stuarda and the 1973 Fallseason a new Anna Bolena. All three will, of course, star Beverly Sills, as willa new production of Tales of Hoffmann planned for next Fall. The company willalso give the first New York performance of Henze's The Young Lord in theSpring of 1973, to be sung in English.

We are delighted to announce that another opera company, a smaller one, isexpanding its season this year. Due to the generosity and foresight of the CorbettFoundation, the BIRMINGHAM CIVIC OPERA ASS'N, under the guidanceof Martha Dick McClung, will be able to offer an additional production this yearand, with it, more employment possibilities for young American singers. TheCorbett Foundation's concern and philanthropic activities have centered aroundthe young American singer and, to this end, the Foundation has also sponsoredproductions by the N.Y. City Opera Company and, in its own city, by the Cin-cinnati Summer Opera. Of course, much aid has been disbursed to singers directly.

Some large scale operas are planned for production in the near future. TheOPERA COMPANY OF BOSTON will offer the complete version of Berlioz'Les Troyens. It will be performed in two segments and can be heard either on twoconsecutive evenings or as a matinee and subsequent evening performance. Thesame opera will be offered in a concert version by the PRO ARTE ORCHESTRAin New York at Carnegie Hall on March 17. The SAN FRANCISCO OPERAwill offer the complete Ring des Nibelungen next season, a fitting celebration of itsGolden Anniversary. — The CANADIAN OPERA COMPANY is also embark-ing on a Ring cycle with Walkure leading the way this season; Siegfried will followin 1972, Gotterddmmerung in 1973, and Das Rheingold will close the cycle in1974. Other operas included in an ambitious five-year plan are two Russian operas,Eugene Onegin and Boris Godunov, the world premiere of Wilson's Heloise andAbelard (1973), and Lulu (1976). — Another new production of Die Walkure isplanned by the ST. PAUL OPERA for its next summer season.

An interesting development has taken place in Flint, Michigan, one which, ifsuccessful, may well set an example for communities of similar size. The MusicalPerforming Arts Ass'n of Flint, which consisted of the symphony orchestra, theopera company, the symphony chorus and the ballet corps, merged with theCommunity Music Ass'n and with the Greater Flint Arts Council to form theFLINT INSTITUTE OF MUSIC. This will afford all participating organizationsone professional administration which will move into new quarters just completedand built at a cost of $1.5 million. Close cooperation in scheduling seasons, fundraising, general artistic policies, administration, etc., could be beneficial to all.William C. Byrd is the artistic director.

The OPERA ORCHESTRA OF NEW YORK under its imaginative and de-termined director, Eve Queler, is continuing to move away from its originalpolicy of presenting young unknown talent in more standard repertoire by offeringthis year two rarely heard operas with star performers. Rossini's William Tell andMeyerbeer's L'Africaine will feature such international artists as Antonietta Stella,Nicolai Gedda and Richard Tucker. The company will also move from the smallerTully Hall to Carnegie Hall.

A new company was founded, THE LYRIC OPERA COMPANY OF LONGISLAND, and it plans performances of the standard grand opera repertoire atthe auditorium of C. W. Post College in Brookville. The first performance isscheduled for December with Nell Rankin singing Carmen and Anthony Stivanelloas stage director. Tickets sell for $12.50, student tickets for $7.50.

The INTERNATIONAL OPERA COMPANY and its president, Joseph Schlang,offer both opera on film and live performances, contracting smaller New Yorkcompanies, most frequently the Ruffino Opera. Last season, I.O.C. also presenteda series of one-hour versions of some of the most popular works for senior citizensat a $1 admission price. In some instances, neighborhood banks sponsored per-formances, thus, allowing free admission.

The LENOX ARTS CENTER opened last summer, situated on a 100-acre estatenear Tanglewood (not affiliated with the Berkshire Music Festival). The newCenter is under the direction of Lyn Austin and Oliver Smith and, performing ina 200-seat theatre called the Music Barn, its program was chosen with the newconcept of music theatre in mind. Thus, it premiered a new work by ElephantSteps' Stanley Silverman and Richard Foreman called Dream Tantras for WesternMassachusetts and another by Richard Farina and Robert Greenwald, A LongTime Coming and a Long Time Gone, described as a collage of music, poetry andpolitics.

Nearby, at the venerable Berkshire Music Festival, a newly-formed opera de-partment called MUSIC THEATRE PROJECT also turned most of its effortstowards the contemporary music scene. Its director, Ian Strasfogel of the NewEngland Conservatory, worked with young singers and a musical and technicalstaff, most of them recipients of grants from the National Opera Institute, per-forming works by Offenbach, Sati, Ligeti and Birtwistle.

Two opera companies in the Far East have recently supplied us with the followinginformation: THE OPERA GUILD OF THE PHILIPPINES, with sopranoDalisay J. Aldaba as director, began as a workshop in 1968. At the time, it offereda performance of Dido and Aeneas and a workshop production of operatic scenes.In 1969, it produced The Impresario, and in 1970, Pagliacci and La Serva pa-drona. Last summer, it graduated to the auditorium of the new Cultural Centerof the Philippines where it performed The Old Maid and the Thief and GianniSchicchi accompanied, for the first time, by the Manila Symphony. David Shapiro,head of the opera workshop at Fairleigh Dickinson University in New Jersey,conducted the two performances. Miss Aldaba, who sang with the N.Y. CityOpera from 1947 to 1952, made an urgent appeal for free or very low cost musicalmaterial (vocal or orchestral scores, choral or orchestral parts) for the Guild'sWorkshop, whose function is greatly curtailed by a lack of funds. (Miss D.Aldaba's address: 721 Dominguez Alfonso St., Malate, Manila.)

December 1 through 5 will mark the first full operatic performances by THEBANGKOK OPERA SOCIETY of Thailand. The opera will be Hansel and Gretel;it will be performed in English. The company, founded in 1970, has offered anumber of operatic concerts and is operated in conjunction with an ExperimentalOpera Studio, the latter under the direction of Emanuel Helige. The company'smusical director is Edgar Schenkman, its president Mrs. J. J. Matisin. For Hanseland Gretel, the company will have the support of the Pro Music Orchestra underthe baton of M. L. Usni Pramoj.

DOLLARS FOR ART

On August 2, Congress approved almost the full amount previously authorizedfor the NATIONAL ENDOWMENT FOR THE ARTS for the 1972 fiscalyear. The cut is minimal and will hardly affect the suggested arts program. It isespecially gratifying since the figure requested was an increase of fifty percentover that of the previous year. — Lest any reader rejoice too much, we hasten toadd that the $30 million approved for the arts for 1972 is still $170 million shortof the goal set by the Partnership for the Arts (see 1/71 Blltn.). This organiza-tion, researching the needs of the arts in the U.S. and also drawing on comparablefigures of federal aid in Europe, set an amount of $200 million as the ultimategoal of U.S. federal support. Yet, — back to realistic matters — we must begrateful for the support the arts are receiving, particularly in this declining econ-omy, and we strongly suggest your writing your congressman or woman to lethim or her know of your appreciation (or disappointment in case of a negativevote.) The May-June, 1971 issue of the COS Bulletin carried information on theallotment of grants for the various categories and Miss Hanks declared that"a meaningful program to aid opera will now be possible". At the Central OperaService National Conference in Washington, D. C, Walter Anderson, NEA'sProgram Director in Music, explained in great detail the guidelines established forthe NEA which suggest, but do not limit, the eligibility of a company under thenew opera program; his assistants answered many pertinent questions. Meanwhile,the Guidelines have been published and sent, together with the application forms,to all major opera companies. Only those with budgets over $100,000 are eligibleand funding is limited to special projects on a matching basis (50% of the cost ofthe project). Questionnaires must be completed and returned by February 1 forprograms planned for the 1972-73 season. — The 1972 grants for symphonyorchestras have been increased from $3.7 million to $5.1 million and include someprivate money given to the Treasury Funds; in addition, an expanded jazz programwas awarded $50,000.

The NEW YORK STATE COUNCIL ON THE ARTS, which earlier announced100 recipients of awards, added another 142 organizations to the list. Thus farthe Council has allotted over $5 million out of a total budget of $14 milliontowards programs for the coming season. One area from which State Councilsupport has been removed is direct aid to educational institutions.

The FORD FOUNDATION has initiated an imaginative, desperately neededprogram designed to alleviate accumulated deficits of performing arts companies.A total of $10 million has been made available for this pilot project and the first"cash-reserve grants" will be available to fifteen opera companies, two dancecompanies and six theatre groups. Opera companies were selected on the basisof professionalism, need, and budgets (between $100,000 and $1 million). Thegrants will be payable over a period of five years. Continuance of each installmentwill hinge on the ability of the company to raise the required funds for the follow-ing season, thus insuring that no further backlog of deficits will accrue. — Another$4 million will soon be added by the Foundation to the initial ten to include anotherfourteen opera, drama and dance groups.

The WHITE PAPER ON THE METROPOLITAN OPERA, prepared by EvaPopper, Assistant to the President, Royall Victor, Chairman of the MetropolitanOpera's Committee on Government Support, and William Hadley, Director ofFinance, is a most informative and useful document. Besides stating the historyand background of the company, the brochure gives most pertinent financial dataconcerning the company's past, and its future prospects. It describes the manydifferent programs under the auspices of the Met and the variety of audiences andperformers who benefit from them. Writing about the very limited, present govern-ment assistance to opera in the United States, it juxtaposes those figures with thecomparable (or incomparable!) figures of European opera houses. The WhitePaper is a model publication, both in style, clarity and pertinence, and it is hopedthat its wide distribution will support the case of more government subsidies forthe Metropolitan Opera as well as for other art organizations. Free copies areavailable upon request from the Metropolitan Opera, Lincoln Center, New York,N. Y. 10023.

A desperate appeal for funds comes from the RESEARCH LIBRARY FOR THEPERFORMING ARTS at Lincoln Center in New York. Although under theauspices of the N. Y. Public Library, the invaluable research divisions of music,dance and theatre have been dependent on special funds, hoping for a direct grantfrom the city. With this money not forthcoming, the Research Library had togreatly curtail its services in the Fall, and its very upkeep and existence are nowthreatened. Unless it can raise a total of $250,000 for operating expenses, nofurther public service will be possible and even the maintenance of present facil-ities will be in doubt. The importance of the various research departments isimmeasurable and no effort should be spared to save this unique reference center.A few Off-Broadway productions have offered to give benefit performances forthe theatre division, collections have been made during Broadway shows, and a$50,000 grant from the Peter C. Cornell Trust has been made towards the$250,000. Individual gifts or collective donations should be sent to the Libraryand Museum of the Performing Arts, 111 Amsterdam Ave., New York, N. Y.10023. Those specifically designated for use by the Music Division should beaddressed to Frank Campbell, Chief of the Music Division.
