ex, rivalry, secret identities, extor- tion, poisonings, sword fights and murder. Sound like a typical evening in Chautauqua? SThese may not be normal occurrences in this placid town, but Saturday is an excep- tion, as the melodrama of Giuseppe Verdi’s Luisa Miller explodes across the Amphithe- ater stage in operatic proportions. For one night only, the Chautauqua Opera Company will stage this rarely performed oeuvre of the 19th-century Italian composer. Verdi’s melodramma tragico in tre atti, as the librettist describes it, was first heard in Naples in 1849. It is based on the play of Friedrich von Schil- ler, “Kabale und Liebe,” which, loosely translated, means “Politics and Passion.” The story is full of over-the-top drama. Jay Lesenger, the Chautauqua Opera Com- pany’s artistic/general director, said the size of the story fits the size of the stage. “It’s larger than life,” Lesenger said. “I think that’s great for the Amphitheater because it’s a larger-than-life venue.” The Drama The scene is Tyrol, in what we now know as Austria, in the 1700s. Luisa is the daughter of a soldier, and she is in love with a man who the town knows as Carlo, but who is really Rodolfo, the son of the powerful Count Walter.

He puts forth a variety of ideas about how to better serve policymakers by helping them be smarter about asking the right questions and mining the intelligence reports for the best of what is there. He challenges the bright line separating policy and intelligence. He quotes Colin Powell on the role of intelligence: “I will hold you (the intelligence expert) accountable for what you tell me is a fact; and I will hold you accountable for what you tell me is not going to happen because you have the fact on that, or you don’t know what’s going to happen, or you know what your body of ignorance is, and you told me what that is. Now when you tell me what’s most likely to happen, then I, as the policymaker, have to make a judgment as to whether to act on that, and I won’t hold you accountable for it because that is a judgment; and judgments of this kind are made by policymakers, not by intelligence experts.” Bestor Cram, grandson of Arthur Bestor, who served as Chautauqua’s president from 1914 to 1944, will present a film in the cinema titled “Weapons of Mass Disruption.” Bestor is the founder of Northern Lights Productions in Boston, an award-winning documentary film company. His film is being created for the Spy Museum and will dovetail perfectly with the concluding morning lecture of the week by former CIA Director Jim Woolsey. I would be remiss if I did not also acknowledge the passionate advocacy of this theme by Ira Cooperman and Bob Hopper, who have been teaching Special Studies classes for years on the subject of intelligence and espio- nage. I hope they and you will draw deeply from the well of this week’s offerings. By the way, I have a bit of intel- ligence for you: Don’t miss Pink Martini on Friday night; they’ll knock your socks off.

Quiet Regulations

Because Chautauqua’s tranquility is part of its attraction, noises from whatever source — radios, dogs, etc. — should be kept to a minimum on the grounds. Out of respect for those in attendance, silence should be observed near public buildings in which programs are taking place. General quiet on the Chautauqua grounds shall be maintained from midnight to 7 a.m. Weekend Edition, July 9 & 10, 2011 The Chautauquan Daily Page C1

Photo | Megan Tan Above, Eric DeFries, assistant manager at the Prendergast Creek State Fish Hatchery south of the Institution, has seen many changes in Chautauqua Lake’s fish population during his 26 years at the facility. The hatchery introduces 13,000 young muskies into the lake each year. At left, Richard Ulasewicz, widely known as “Uke,” has served as director of the Chautauqua Sports Club for 23 years. He reflects on the decline in recreational fishing by Institution residents.

An Informational, fun field trip for Children’s School

Top row and bottom right photos | Demetrius Freeman

Bottom left photo | Greg Funka

Children’s School students participated in a fire safety day with Chautauqua Volunteer Fire Department during Week Two. Firefighters allowed the students to tour the inside of a fire truck and demonstrated to them that even with their bulky equipment, firefighters are not scary but are there to help. Following some fire safety lessons, the children had fun running around in water sprayed from the firehoses.

The WNED documentary “Chautauqua: An American Narrative,” which premiered on PBS stations nationwide earlier this year, will be broadcast on local cable Access Channel 5 throughout the 2011 Season.

Schedule: 11 p.m. Saturday, Tuesday and Thursday 8 a.m. Sunday, Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

Fishing

The waters of Chautauqua Lake provide an abundance of game and food fish. Muskellunge create the greatest excitement, and the muskie season, from late June to October, draws fishermen from all over the United States and Canada. Large and smallmouth bass, calico and rock bass, walleyes and perch are among other fish in good supply. Bait is available at the Sports Club.

A fishing license may be purchased at Hogan’s Hut on Route 394 near the entrance to Route 17/I-86 in Stow or at the town clerk’s office in Mayville. Page C10 The Chautauquan Daily Weekend Edition, July 9 & 10, 2011 p r o g r a m
