Giovanni Continued from page 1 operas are done in English rather than the original language. While it's easier for the singer to retain the original language since that's what the music was written for, it is by no means impossible for a libretist to do a good translation, they said. 'The tradition of singing opera in the original language started in the 1900's when there were immigrants 'just-off-the-boat' who spoke and enjoyed hearing the German or Italian," Grace said. That group of people is no longer in the audience, and so the concession to English has ben rrade "One thing that will help an audience member to enjoy the productions more is to know a little about it, the plot and some of the better known songs," Grace said. He said that being familiar with the story line and being able to recognize the music helps keep the person from feeling lost and overwhelmed by the whole thing. The setting for Giovanni is being done in a non traditional approach. LINCOLN SPECIAL !!

While the opera deals with human emotions, the set is filled with machine-like, forboding objects. The emphasis of the set is not on what it looks like but on the feeling it gives. "Perhaps it can be termed a subterranean space, but it is designed to trigger the audience's imagination as to how these characters, possessed by lust and destiny, live out their times," Tschetter said. "It's not meant to be pretty, but rather discomforting, ugly, strange, cold, austere, something removed from human experience, in isolation of time and space," Tschetter said. The interplay of set and action should give the audience a feeling of wariness, unease and perhaps a fresh approach to Don Giovanni, Tschetter said. The Don won't be human in his lust but mechanistic without an ounce of human emotion, sex being his single drive, he added. The performances will be Thursday through Saturday at 8 p.m. and Nov. 5 at 3 p.m. mm BiujY0m O O O 0 24.35 s.95 $406.75 RADIO! nun iiiiib AUTOMATIC TURNTABLE )no Off Tho E?
