The energetic young NBC
Television opera Company
brought a polished production
of "Fidelio" to television yes
terday afternoon.
The new English libretto.
prepared for NBC by Joseph
Machlis, was anything but a
literal translation, but it stuck
to the spirit Of the text and
was much more singable than
some translations I've heard.
One minor quarrel with the
translation came up at the
operas heroic climax when Leo
nora reveals her identity and
steps between Pizzaro and
Florestan, crying, "First kill his
wife" This, at least is what she
should have cried. Did Mr..
Machlis actually change this
to the inaccurate and relatively
inane II am his wife" or did
I misunderstood Leonora's die
ton?
Beethoven's melodrama Of
conjugal love and universal hui
manitarianism still can be a
stirring experience, but perhaps
it cannot be so on television.
The intimacy Of camera tech
niques seems to reduce much of
the dramatic situation to a level
far less plausible than on the
stage. Acting was a vitality i'm
portant factor in the singspiel
Of Beethoven's day, but it was
then done in broad strokes,
with grand and stylized ges-
lures and infection. The close
up lense rules much Of this ap-
proach obsolete.
Director Kirk Browning dealt
with these and many other
problems most intelligently. To
my untutored eye, the camera
was used effectively, allowing
for a steady, rapid pace with
out interfering with either mu-
sic or drama.
The acting was generally on
a high level and adapted as wen
as possible to the exigencies Of
the medium. Washington op-
era audiences should not be
surprised to hear that the Stel-
lar acting job was turned out
by Lee CaSs, who repeated the
role of Pizzaro, which he sang
with the Washington Opera So
ciety a few seasons back.
His performance was smooth
and subtle, resorting to none of
the stage grimaces and sneers
which would so easily have
reduced the tyrant to a card
board villain. His voice sounded
better than ever, taking on a
welcome new resonance and
body, particularly in the lower
register.
Irene Jordan sang Leonora's
difficult part accurately and
musically, although hers is not
q tlmbre naturally suited to the
part. In an effort to strive for

siderably upset by the ill.will

by the extra hot bird-dogging of

they agree that the law is the

are meant to be observed, they
feel also that a coop behind ev-
