Courtney & Son “FmniJnrr Since Grass Roots Opera Proves Big Success Large Audience j .Gives 'School Fqr ! -isms' Big Hand Rtilci^L Group Also Pleas ed At Vk annlli of Their Reception Here By Gene Allen Thomas The Grass Roots Opera Com pany, headquarters of which are in Raleigh, yesterday most ef fectively proved that their cam paign to biHng opera to all parts of the state is a laudable one which merits the enthusiastic support of all. The audiences at the matinee and evening performances, pro sealed at W illiamston High School by the P.-T. A. and Music Department, were largt and ap preciative. B» cause the evening performance was attended mostly by adults and somewhat subdued children, the audience was more attentive to the pleasant intrica cies ol Moeart's light and guy “School For Hovers." The contrapuntal pattern of the ■ pera, while light and flowing, are still demanding of the per formers. The cast, 'f six rose ad m . ■•'« ve* «»*••• ,-«v , • i'-.c solo asm ensemoic: parts were a delight to the ear. In addition, the troupe was not lacking in dramatic ability. They threw themselves into their re spective roles with almost too much abandon at times The com edy enthralled the younger mem bers of tlie audience, but a bit more restraint would have pre vented losing some of the music in the laughter the clowning pre cipitated. When some of the youthful singers realize that they possess excellent voices, they should go far. All six have voices of rich timber and tone quality Confi dence Would make one or two of them surer and steadier. Robert Bird, baritone, and di rector of the company, and Alee Dantre, baritone, are superior singers and actors, displaying professional ability. Nora Sands’ lovely lyric soprano was a plea sure to hear, while Deborah Al den proved a versatile singer and actress William Alden, tenor, and Anna Applewhite, soprano, have most pleasing voices and carried off their roles nicely. The accompanist, Aileen Lynn, is a great asset to the company. Tin- explanation of the opera | on the program, while cleverly | (tone, seemed to imply that there is an appalling lack of interest in , or knowledge1 of cultural things ; in the “hinterland” of small towns, and that most of us are still in the "Turkey in the Straw" stage. The fact that a large num her of school children in Wil liamslen, for one example, have been well trained nuisicalh and play concert type music belies this There are a number of good singers and musicians here, and in many other small cities. If this writer may be allowed to pass on a humble suggestion to the (trass Root;; Company, it is this: Please don't talk down to small town citizens, (live them both barrels of the real McCoy, as though you were in New York ( ity.
