BY PAUL HARDY
Monday night's opera production of Carmen by the
Grass Roots Opera Company
lost much of its original" meaning and beauty by being sung
in English instead of French,
the original language that it
was written in. This was the
general opinion of many audience members as well as some
faculty members.
The feeling that the opera
sounded like an English paraphrase of the French interpretation was very strongly felt.
The old adage "To paraphrase
is to destroy," certainly applied
when Carmen sang the well
known "Seguidilla."
Although not having an
orchestra loft very much io

The newly formed Symphonic Wind Ensemble will
make its first annual tour April
6-8. The 54 members of the Ensemble were chosen from the
125 students enrolled in the
CMU band program last fall.
Of special interest ai ihe
concerts will be ihe presentation of Mr. Dieiz's composition "Piece for Brass and
Percussion."
Other selections include the
Coronation Scene from "Boris
Godunov," Gliere's "Symphony
No. 3," Shostakovich's "Symphony   No.   5,"   and   the   third
sated somewhat for this loss.
Carmen had an exceptionally
strong and beautiful voice.
It was also the general feeling that Carmen was rather old
for her part. Instead of a
young, dashing, shapely, and.
blaek haired beauty with fire
in her eyes, the audience was
presented with just the opposite.
Don Jose, Carmen's lover,
also could have been a little
leaner and his hair not quite so
gray for the dashing solider
that he was supposed to portray. Again, his voice fit the
part, but he did not.
The piano player did remarkably well for playing
ihe whole performance himself.
Although playing to a consistently dwindling audience
throughout the program, the
applause for the whole performance was well received by
the performers.
