by Don Ottavio and others and is
fortunate to escape with his life to
hide in the graveyard. There he
carries his brazen daring one step
further and invites the Statute of
the slain Commendatore to be his
guest at supper In the final scene

fuses to repent and is condemned
to Hell by the outraged forces of
Heaven.
The company of 50, including 9
principal singers, chorus, and or

Carolina soprano star of the New
York City Opera Company. Con
stance Fisher, the Grand Prize-
Winner in Voice at the Canadian
National Exhibition, is singing the
part of Donna Elvira.
