Si night at tht

ix operas were presented by the Liberty University Opera Workshop Feb. 16-18, 21, and 23-25. The production plots ranged from comedy to despair. The casts brilliantly brought to S life the following works. 1. by Engelbert Humperdink In this age-old tale, modernized for the Liberty University stage, two rambunctious candy-loving youngsters happen upon a sweet surprise. As they pilfer the candy house, the witch appears to gobble the children. Overcoming her charms, Hansel and Gretel toss the witch into the oven and dance merrily away.

2. Susannah by Carlisle Floyd Orphaned, Susannah and her brother Sam were outcasts of the mountain­ ous New Hope, Tenn. community. The mayor's son Little Bat, age 14, idol­ ized the innocent and sweet Susannah Polk. But he ends up destroying her reputation by lying about her to the hate-filled elders of the church. The elders were trying to find a baptismal for the town revival, but instead, found Susannah, bathing in the creek. In their tirade the elders shunned Susannah. Devastated, she flees to the arms of her loving brother.

3. The Medium by Gian Carlo Menotti Toby, a Budapest boy feels the pangs of true love and hatred as he falls into the vile hands of Baba, a drunken medium, and the loving hands of her young daughter Monica. In a fantasy world, Monica sings the part of a slave boy expressing his love to her, the beautiful princess. As a mute, Toby wants to express his love to Monica, and cries as he hears her speak the words he never can. In the end, Baba beats Toby for not being able to tell her who had grabbed her neck during a seance.

4. La Boheme by Giacomo Puccini Money isn't everything to Musetta who leaves her wealthy companion for the man she really loves. Set in the French Cafe Momus, this tale shows the power of love over money.

5. The Magic Flute by W. A. Mozart Papageno and Papagena are the only two characters of this opera of love. Papageno, a bird catcher, longs for a woman to share his life with. The gods bless him by giving him the power to make a wife materialize. Papagena then appears and the two sing of their love and future together.

6. Rigoletto by Giuseppi Verdi An act of vengeance results in despair in this melancholy tale of passion and revenge. Rigoletto the jester plots to kill the duke of Mantua who had defiled the jester's daughter Gilda. Sparafucile, the innkeeper is hired by Rigoletto to kill the duke. The innkeeper's sister Maddalena hears of the plot and convinces the duke to kill someone else. Gilda hears of the plan Hansel and Gretel by Engelbert Humperdink— The two candy-hungry children sing about the and sacrifices herself. treasure they have found. Later, the evil witch Rosina, played by Jennifer Roberts, charms them into staying for dinner. Rosina coaxes Gretel into helping her prepare Hansel to be the main course. Hansel, played by Alison Post, and Gretel, played by Cindy Wilcox, outwit the witch by shoving her into the massive black oven.

La Boheme—Musetta wins the heart of the Cafe Momus waiter, as she makes her way closer to Marcello — the man she still loves.

"It was a the church for an outlandish misunderstanding. privilege to work with him," Chelley Bickel, who played Baba, said of her co-star Scott Grimm.
