When one door closes, another opens| but
we often look so long and so regretfully
upon the closed door that we do not see
the one which has opened for us,
Alexander Graham Bell
In Friday evening's production at Brevard
dramatic soprano Bella de Leon stars as
Butterfly. A leading singer with New
York and Florida operatic troupes. Miss
de Leon returns to Brevard after her
memorable performance last summer as
"Tosca".
Tenor William McDonld, an established
Brevard favorite, will portray Pinkerton,
while mezzo-soprano Barrie Smith and bass-
bariton Perry Daniels handle the other
leading roles.
The entire production will be direct
ed by John Richards McCrae, long known
for the operatic magic he performs each
season at Brevard, Henry Janiec, Center
director, will conduct the BI^ orchestra
for this performance. Colorful Oriental
sets have been designed by Bonnie
Rasmussen.
Saturday evening’s Pops Concert will
be an offbeat treat for Brevard audiences.
Laughs will fill spacious Whittinton-Pfohl
Auditorium, for Henry Janiec has programmec
selections that showcase the un-serious
side of serious music, including Gillis’
'■Symphony $ 1/2 ", the familiar
•'Typewriter** by Leroy Anderson, the
“Circus Overture" by Toch and a "Musical
Joke'* by Mozart. Highlight of the even
ing X'Till be Saint-Saens' "Carnival of
Animals", done to a t\im by BM3 Orchestra
soloists and the young duo-piano team of
Yarbrough and Cowan.
The Sunday afternoon performance at
300 p.m. continues in the same frotl:^
musical vein, with Borodin's "Polovetsian
Pences" and the *^Sorees Music ales" by
Benjamin Britten. The Transylvania
Symphony, under the baton of Emil Raab,
will play these selections plus Beetoven's
towering "Coriolanus Overture". Center
piece of the afternoon, however, will be
an interpretation of the Grieg Piano
Concerto by pianist Gary Towlen.
Twenty-seven-year old Towlen has
made a triumphal sweep through U.S. and
European concert halls in recent years
and since making his debut at the age of
12, he has grown in stature until he is
now ranked with the best of U.S. pianist.
His playing of the Grieg Concerto should
be among the pianistic highlights of the
BM3 season.
