returning to the Brevard stage
is Elizabeth Mannion, who has
the distinction of appearing in
the first opera ever presented
by a resident company at the
Music Center. She recreates her
most heralded role of Azucena
in this Friday’s production.
For male leads the Music
Center raided the roster of
the New York City Opera
Company for tenor Harry
Theyard and baritone Vem
Shinall. Shinall, who is being
called the baritone of the fu
ture, is remembered for his
interpretation of Tonio in
“PagHacei” earlier this sea
son. His success caused quite
a stir in the Brevard area
and has stimulated interest in
this larger role. Tenor They
ard came to opera through
the route of musical comedy.
While studying in Manhatten
he took roles in Broadway
shows, including “Man of La
Mancha.” Now fully establish
ed as an operatic presence,
he sings with companies in
Chicago and San Francisco in
addition to duties with the
New York City Opera. In one
week his work was critically
compared to Caruso and
Corelli, which is not bad com
pany for an up-and-coming
tenor to keep.
“II Trovatore” is staged by
John Richards McCrae and
conducted by Dr. Janiec. Other
roles in the production are sung
by members of the resident
company, including Elaine Lin
stedt as Inez. Curtain time is
8:15 p.m.
Brevard audiences can look
forward to another great pops

SOPRANO MARILYN HORNE’S PERFOR

presented at the Center, none has ever been enjoy
ing more international popularity, prestige and
success at the time of appearance than is Miss
Horne right now. Hailed as one of the greatest
voices of the ,20th Century, Marilyn Horne is at

But with David Niven—
perfect.
There's something: about

TOO expensively, the top brass
complained. And so we were
cancelled; a phrase now be
come the saddest words of
tongue or pen." ’
Bnt this morning, David
was net really in a carping
mood. He Seldom is “riled"
about anything for any length
of time. As a one-time lieu
tenant through the Dunkirk
disaster and later a major in
the highly secret Beconnais
sance Regiment of the British
army, he has gone through the
youthful bitterness of the,
“war bit!* And as a strug
gling young British import in
3339, he wen* through previ
ous depression days in Holly
wood before being signed by
Samuel Goldwyn.
‘Tam at an age—and stags
—where I feel I may be per
tjo savor some of the
ings of life without a

There are plenty of “good
things**: first, his handsome
family: wife Hjordis Tersmen
del, Swedish beauty whom he
married
. in 1948; their two
adopted daughters, Christina,
7, and Fiona, 5; David’s sons
by a previous marriage, David
Jr, and Jamie, both adults
now. In. fact, Jamie shortly
Will make him a grandfather.
Another "good" thing has
been his career. ‘Tt has, not
only kept me busy and occu
pied; it has sent me traveling
every place of interest in the
world, 'When producers ask;
me to do a movie now, I don’t
ask to see the script. S3rst

By the way, I will he back

David also -finds tin\e to
