Opera in Baltimore
Definitely Has Style

few singers who are able 10
stand favorable comparison
with almost anyone In the
profession.
Phyllis Frankel (who for
some obscure reason chose 70

adne auf Naxos" here this
season. was q Suor Angelica

lance one would be hard put

emotionally was very touch
ing.
Mary Kennedy, unless I
am mistaken the only leading
singer from Washington, was
quite proficient In the role Of
the Abbess In "Suor An
gelica."
Orchestra Serves Well
Members Of the Baltimore
Orchestra were brilliantly
conducted BY Herbert Gross
man Of New York. The or
chestra was something less
than f1rst rate, but still 1t
was very good indeed. When
one is told that the show,
three hours long exclusive Of
intermissions. and. moreover,
unfamiliar, enjoyed only two
four-hour rehearsals, the re-
suit seems incredible.
In some departments, the
Baltimore Opera needs much
Improvement before It's pro-
ductions as o whole match

making. Its scenery, some
rented. some built at home,
is tawdry and unimagina-
tive. after the manner Of the

lighting can only be called q
failure. The costumes are on

is inclined to be drab or con-
fused when there are many
people on stage.
Style II Evident
But the Baltimore Opera In
the two productions I have
attended has what many
more august companies at
times in their haste imagine
they can do without-style.
III Trittico" last week and
Madam Butterfly" last fall
were both good shows. sin
cerely produced and often
brilliantly sung.
Next seasons repertoire
consists Of Flotow's Martha"
Donizetti's Lucia di Lam
mermoor," and Puccini's
"Manon Lescaut." Miss Pom
selle's taste Is predominantly
for the italian opera In which
she reached the heights in
the past-a taste in which, so
far, the Opera Society Of
Washington has not been
able to indulge because Of the
limitations Of Lisner's orches-
tral pit. Miss Ponselle is also
almost never touched by the

sanity. Her operas are sung
in Italian, although "Gianni

the rule.
And last let me sing thy
praises. beautiful Lyric The

Baltimore's Lyric Theater,
May 3. II seemed q fortu-

midway through perhaps the
finest Of all Puccini's MASTER
pieces. IN Trittico." and were
attending. according TO Rosa
Ponselle. artistic director Of
the company. the only Amer
lean performance Of the work
outside the Metropolitan
Opera House. where Il had
its world premiere In 1918.
"n Trittico"-"The Trip
tych"-is an evening Of three
one-act operas. q tragedy, q
melodrama and a comedy.
The first two. III Tabarro"
and "suor Angelica" are
works In the best Puccini
tradition. full Of fervid Ital-
ianate song and dramatic
passion. while the third,
"oianni Schicchi." Is q Joke.
1t is o music drama with the
music in the orchestra rather
than In the throats Of the
singers. that breed Of striving
men and women without
which any admirer Of Puccini
would have believed the great
man to be lost. The opera
has three little short-winded
arias. but It's style is an end
less now Of concerted recita-
tive. half-spoken. half sung.
1t Is opera as nearly per-
fectly naturalistic as one can
imagine.
Polished OrchestratiOn
The humor Of the situation
must have enthralled Puccini,
the artist who at the pin-
nacle Of his career was sup
posed to have been unique
but stereotyped. He could
also have been proud Of the
orchestration Of all three
operas, for 1t Is refined and
polished and effective beyond
anything he had done before.
"Suor Angelica" requires
the most skillful direction,
for the stage is for an hour
filled with nuns, who all look
alike. and who are distracted
by only two visitors, one O
donkey and one not.
The other two operas have
unusual dramatic pace and
tension. III Trittice" should
have many more perform
Ances, for I. typical Of those
for whom Puccini generally
has very little appeal, found
it delightful, while to the true

genius.
Home Folk In Cast
Much as I liked the show,
1t was Baltimore's opera that
most interested me. 1t is
basically unlike our own
Opera Society in that most Of
the singers are drawn from
close to home, and many Of
them are amateurs.
It was Rosa PonSelle's am
bition, after she retired and
settled so firmly In Maryland
that for years she has
scarcely ever been as far
afield as Washington or New
York, to establish the Balti-
more opera as both q school
and vehicle for young and
talented local singers. Wash
ington is included with Balti-
more; it is local by defini-
tion," she says.
Thus, though some Of the
Civic Operas singers are
brought back to the town of
beer, crabs and oysters from
the hinterlands of New York,
and though some can boast
Of no prior connection with
the Chesapeake, most Of the
cast Of a Ponselle show are
home folk. The high general
standard Of excellence is
astounding to anyone who
has had much experience
with opera. and there are a

Tunisia Fights
'NoMan' sLand'
Along Border

TUNIS, Mar. / up -Tunisis
launched a worldwide campaign
today against French plans to
remove Algerians along the
Tunisian border to create a no
mans land.
President Habib Bourguib0
sent a letter to President Eisen-
hover saying the French plan
would have disastrous conse-
quences." He has protested that
it would lead to the forced evic-
ton Of tens Of thousands Of
Algerians.
Sidi Aziz Djaet, the Grand
Mutt Of Tunis. sent a message
to Pope Plus XII asking him to
denounce the plan on humani-
tartan grounds.
Well-informed sources said
Mr.. Bourguiba would send notes
to chiefs of state Throughout:
the world.
The French proposed the bor-
der belt as a means Of prevent
ing the movement of arms and
rebels between Tunisia and AL
geria. The plan repeatedly calls
for removal of Algerians on the
border and a ban on travel.
Mr.. Bourguiba and United
States envoy Robert Murphy
