ways citizens groups can oppose

Music Center Notes
TAKE IT FROM THE TOP
By - Hilary Sheridan

Among the publicity Bent
out on Gina Bachauer was a
story that she is as at home
in the kitchen as on the con
cert stage. Sunday afternoon
she proved this was not mere
press agent flackery. Follow
ing her stunning performance
of the Grieg piece with the
BMC Orchestra she raced
back to a hot stove and con
itnued preparing spaghetti
for 40 guests at an after-con
cert party at Josie Grisham
Hall’s. It was a delightful
party. We especially were
delighted to see at the party
Josie’s next - door - neighbor
and BMC board member
Frank Carr. Frank, I'm happy
to report, is on the mend . . .
because we’ve missed his
hearty good humor.
Have you ever seen such a
crowd as there was for “The
Music Man”? At the dress re
hearsal, too. What a show!
Something for everybody and
certainly as great a crowd
pleaser as you can find. We
loved John McCrae’s secret
weapon — the parade finale.
No, folks, that wasn’t the Enka
High School Band, just their
uniforms, which were generous
ly loaned for the occasion. The
whole show was such a delight
that it’s impossible to single
out individuals for honors. Ev
erybody melded into the whole.
We did think the dancing in
the “Shipoopi” number was
outstanding. Hard to believe

the kids weren’t trained danc
ers. It was good to see Janice
Janiec back in harness. We
get another chance to hear her
on Saturday night when she re
peats her “Fair Lady” songs
in the Lerner and Loewe Pops
Concert.
Another treat of the Pops
Concert win be an appearance
by Opera Workshop Direc
tor John Richards McCrae
singing “Thank Heaven For
Little Girls” and “I remem
ber It WeU”. McCrae, who
maintains a herculean sche
dule at the BMC still finds
time to entertain and be en
tertaining. Sunday night he
provided the artichoke hearts
salad at the Bachauer party
and Saturday night cooked
up yet another batch of his
chicken curry, this time for
his stage crew and technical
people.
Audiences this year at the
BMC arc up over last year’s—
and that was a record season.
We expect more records to be
set this weekend. It’s probably
the strongest trio of programs
ever offered. The trustees and
advisory board members who
will be meeting on the grounds
should be very impressed with
the caliber of performers. For
instance, the Friday night pro
duction of “II Trovatore” has
four guest stars, all of whom
are young and on the verge of
greatness. Marisa Galvany (we
all loved her “Aida” last sea
son )is back and so is Verne
Shinall who was so impressive
earlier in “Pagliaccci”. Marisa
and Vern did “Trovatore” to
gether in April and she has al
so sung several times with ten
or Harry Theyard of the N.Y.
City Opera who is Manrico in
this production. Elizabeth Man
nion, who sang in the first resi
dent opera production at the
BMC, is back in all her sta
tuesque glory to recreate her
firey gypsy Azucena. Frankly,
there are few places in the coun
try, including N.Y.C. capable
.of mounting a stronger produ
tion than this.
Soprano Galvany came here
directly from Chautaugua
where she did “Tosca”. She
told us that the chorus kids
there weren’t terribly famil
iar with the plot. At the end
when Marisa threw herself
from the parapets, the direc
tor told the kids to follow
her. They literally did and
flung themselves over the
edge like so many lemmings.
Marisa’s recording of “Medea
in Corinto” is out on the
Vanguard label and well
worth the purchase. The ex
citement and drama of her
voice come through marvel
ously.
Never in the history of the
Music Center has there appear
ed a star of the magnitude of
soprano Marilyn Horne. Her
Sunday afternoon concert will
be a major event in the annuals
of the Center. While others
with great reputations have

Ivania Times ten cents, within a short time it amounts
less expenditure
appeared here, none was ever
riding the crest of the wave of
popularity like the one Miss
Horne now enjoys. She is the
most in demand singer in the
world today. No one should
miss this once in a lifetime op
portunity to hear one of the
great voices of the century.
Her notices all over the world
are fantastic.
Speaking of notices, we just,
read a whole clntch of them
which pianist Lee Luvisi
garnered last winter daring
a European tour. You couldn’t
write better ones for your
self than what the critics said
about Lee’s genius. Berlin,
Vienna, Salzburg, Zurich,
London . . . they were all
unanimous in the praise.
“Predestined to enter the
ranks of the great Beethoven
players of the world ....
belongs among the pianists
of distinction.his
name must not be forgotten
.” are just some of the
more quotable. Of course
we’ve known this all along.
The BMC is fortunate to
have an artist of his stature
in residence. He plays for
the last time this season on
Friday, the thirteenth ....
and let’s not hear any su
perstitious mumbling!
Next week is the last
chance to hear most of the
youth organizations at the
BMC. Tuesday night (August
10th) the Concert Band, Wind
Ensemble and Youth Orches
tra will all play for the last
time this season. So much
a part of their education at
the Center is in performance
and it’s a shame more people
don’t bestir themselves and
come out to catch these top
notch young performers. Con
ductors Barr and Mancinelli
do a marvelous job of bring
ing them up to concert pitch.
It’s a pity the kids have to
suffer the let down of seeing
so few friendly faces out in
the audience.
SHORT TAKES AND
DOUBLE TAKES: Dr. Al
fred Elwell and his attrac
tive wife Gail have become
two of the most familiar
faces around the Center.
Devoted concert goers, they
also look after the health
of the more than 400 people
in residence. Mrs. Elwell,
who is a trained nurse, vol
unteeres her services to
the camp infirmary one day
a week. That’s a wonderful
gesture between the town
and the Center. Another is
the charming ad campaign
the First Federal Savings
and Loan has dreamed up
using the BMC “Follow The
Notes” idea. Plans have
been finalized for the Leo
Burnett advertising agency
to shoot a Kellogg’s tele
vision commercial at the
Center next week. The cam
era crew and producer ar
rive this weekend to inter
view talent and line them
up for the shooting. So
watch for familiar faces on
the tube later in the year.
John McCrae’s isn’t the on
ly one you’ll see. Never saw
so much rain in our life.
Sorry it rained on the night
of “Music Man”, but it
didn’t seem to dampen the
scene between Janiec Janlec
and Allison Roulston, did it
