J : ' PRICE TE CW1 emem Mere 'Grass Roots Opera will appear in Kenansville on February 9 in two performances DON PAS QUALE, it was announced today by Mrs. Lorelle F. Martin, presi dent of the Duplin County Unit of the North Carolina Education As sociation. This unique traveling or ganization formed in 1949 by A. J. Fletcher, Raleigh attorney, to give aspiring singers a chance to appear in operatic productions and at the same time give the pub lic an opportunity to hear opera in. English. Last year more than one thousand Duplin County music lov ers enjoyed this company's per-' formance, of the opera SCHOOL FOR LOVERS. As a result of the success of over one hundred per formances in the past two seasons, the Company 'has gained interna tional fame, feature article having appeared in eight national publica tions and one book. Tne State De partment announced its intention of reprinting an article which ap peared in Etude last December in a publication which will be distri buted to all foreign countries. Last season Grass Roots Opera, which is administered by the Ex tension Division of the Univer sity of North Carolina, presented seventy-nine performances through out the Tar Heel state and Virgin ia. For the first time a plan was worked out with the public school -whereby Iraining in opera listening was integrated Into the music ap preciation courses. Approximately forty-eight thousand school child ren received this training, twenty eight thousand of which saw for the first time an actual opera per formace. The idea of opera in English, performed in a logical manner, was soundly approved by the students, and their elders, as evidenced by countless letters writ ten by the children. The fact that North Carolina Is the only place in the nation where students of singing can sing from ten to twenty performaces of sev eral different operas in one sea son has attracted young vocalists from Tennessee, Virgnia, Pennsy lvania, New York and Cocnectieui as well as North Carolina while this season Texas, Michigan, Vir ginia, New York, Arkansas and North Carolina are represented. The dozen singers from this state represent Murphy, Wllnjington, Wake Forest, Elon College, High Point Greensboro and Raleigh.. The Duplin County Unit of the North Carolina: Education assoc iation sponsor 'of the local per formances, hopes that the public will inot miss the opportunity to see this entertaining Well staged musical performed by singing act ors of profession caliber. , The night performance .will take place at 8:00 o'clock. In keeping with Grass Roots Opera's plan to give school children a chance to see staged operatic productions, a matinee will be given at 2:30 p.m. Both performances will take place in the Kenan Memorial Auditor ium, xne criuaren 01 uie scnoois will learn the story of the opera from classroom teaching material supplied the teachers by the opera company. The Duplin Times will run the story of the opera in the next issue. Meeting 20 By V. 8.
