The Metropolitan Opera will
produce Puccini's "La Tosca" on
the coliseum stage April 28th,
Lincoln Symphony Orchestra as
sociation members learned by let'
ter this week-end. The company's
Lincoln appearance wiH be the
only stop between Minneapolis
and Denver.
Grand opera staged in the
grand manner was last heard at
the coliseum in 1928 when the
Chicago Civic Opera staged "II
Trovatore" and in 1944 when the
San Carlo did "Aida." Swedish
tenor Jussi Bjorling and Amer
ican soprano Regina Resnik are
suggested for the leading roles.
Mrs.. Richard W. Smith (you'll
remember her as Pat Lahr, form
er Union director) is in charge
of local production arrangements.
Could it have been a former
university casanova who pulled
this one on the Aurora, Nebraska
postmaster recently? A letter from
Holland "in a feminine hand
writing" reached Aurora addres
sed to Mr. Swift P. Ham.
For failing to talk politics, Sov
iet music this week came in for
a reprimand at the hands of the
Central Committee of the Com
munist Party. In a front-page
Pravada spread, the committee
censured seven composers includ
ing Shostakovitch, Prokofiev and
Khachaturian for writing music
which "follows the formalist
trend a trend against the peo
ple." Opera, choral music and
folk music and folk songs ap
parently the true medium for
Soviet expression has been "ne
glected," the committee said, in
favor of intricate instrumental
symphonic forms showing "sur
vivals of bourgeois ideology nu
tured ... by modern decadent
music of Western Europe and
America."
The party's Propaganda and
Agitation Department, and its
Art Committee were ordered to
'liquidate the defects pointed
out." Just for a reminder, shall
we all stand up and sing "The
Star Spangled Banner?"
Former Chancellor Chauncey
Boucher is credited with this one,
according to Dr. C. If. Patterson
in a philosophy class this week:
In a modern university, the pro
fessor's lecture toes. from, his
notebook into the student's note
book without going: through the
head of either!
