Thursday, August 7, 1980 as the entertainment of the day. The concert. as usual. will be given by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. Erie DeLamarter, conducting, while the entertainment will be "The North Shore Varieties" which is everything that its name implies and is modeled after the revues which are presented for adults in the regular theatres. Children 12 years of age and under are admitted free to these concerts. Seats are free for everyone. Notable Bill Another notable double bill will be presented on Thursday night, August 14, this being "The Secret of Suz- anne” and “La Vida Breve." Mme. Lucrezia, Bari will appear as Suz- anne in the former work and like. wise as Salud in “La Vida Breve." There is none of the shorter operatio works more compelte in every detail than "The Secret of Suzanne." It is polished, speedy in action, beauti- tui in score and highly amusing in its comedy. The role of Suzanne fits Mme. Bori perfectly as she reveals herself in "playful mood. Mr. Tokut- yan will appear opposite her as Count Gil and Merck Windheim will be Sante,, the dumb servant. Mr, Papi will conduct. “La Vida Breve," Da Falla’s Spanish work which is sung in its original language at Ravinia, is equally complete as opera, but it is opera of an entirely different kind from that of "The Secret of Sub anne.” It is tragedy, life laid bare, the emotions wrought to white heat. That one artist should be able to assume two such contrasting roles in one evening is one of the miracles of opera. yet Mme. Bori does it with consummate ease. Mr, Tokatyan will likewise appear in this open as Paco, the faithless lover, and Mme. Bourskaya and Louis D'Aneelo have outstanding character roles. Others are Mr. Defrere, ~Miss Falco, Mr. Oliviero. and Mr. Cohanovsky. The ballet will be headed by Miss Page and Mr, Scott. -Mr. Hasse1nusns will conduct. ' Tiiiifiililiii Will“!!!

'tl I ', (i'ii'i'i),ii will be given again on Friday night, August 15. Queen Mario will appear as Mimi, the Bower girl, and on this occasion Giovanni Martinelli will be heard as Rodolfo, a great dramatic part which fits this great singer- actor like the proverbitrl glove. Miss Maxwull will be Musettn. Mario Busiola, Desire Defrere and Virgilio Lauri will form the trio of Bohem. inns and Paolo Ananian will appear in the two character parts. Gennaro Pupi will be the conductor. "The Bartered Bride" On Saturday night, August 16, "The Battered Bride," Smetana's operatic gem of the Bohemian school which has just been added to the Ravinia list will again be presented. This work is sung according to the Ger- man libretto at Ravinia having the title "Die Verkaufte Brant." It is comic opera in every sense of the word, its action unfolding a story that is amusing at every turn, yet its score measures up tn grand opera stand- ards being tilled with music which all the world knows and loves.. Mme. Rethberg will be heard as Maria. the sprightly and much sought horo- ine who has her own ideas of what constitutes bare. Mario Chamlee will be opposite her as mus, while Louis D'Angelo and Marek Wind- hcim will have two of the best com. edy parts that ever found their way to an operatic stage. Others in the _ cast are, Miss Maxwell, Miss Fake, Mr. Cehanovsky and Mr. Ananinn. There is much dancirur--Buhemiun folk dancing for the most part-in which Ruth Page and Blake Scott are featured.
