Mr. Seeger did his best, which is very good, but the The splendour and rich colors of the 200 costumes is offset by the stark grandeur of the stage sets. Shadows, silhouettes and most of all the strains of wellâ€"known arias create an impression of enchantment. This is the essence of good opera, the second section of the pavilion tells us. This section, or Act II, is designed to be didactic and informative. The ambiance is cool as a contrast to the warmth and excitement of Act I. The accompaniment is a montage of electronic In a speech at last night‘s concert, the President of The Toronto Symphony, Mr. Frank _F. McEachren, thanked the Ontario The Toronto Symphony has been by far the greatest attraction at Ontario Place; and on July 22, it drew its largest ever, nonâ€"paying audience â€" an estimated 12,000 â€" to hear Seiji Ozawa and baritone Louis Quilico. On Tuesday, August 10, while Toronto was exâ€" periencing one of the worst thunder storms of the summer, and the grounds of Ontario Place were deserâ€" ted, the Forum was packed with close to 3,000 people listening to The Toronto Symphony. Judging from letters, calls and comments received, the series _ has been _ an unqualified success. Well over 100,000 people came to the Forum during the 5 week, l5â€"concert series to listen to The Toronto Symphony. For many, it was their first experience of live classical music. After a delay of almost an hour, the show did begin. First on stage were a Japanese group, the Flower Travelling Band, who play an original and very difâ€" ferent kind of rock with an Oriental flavour. Their performance was slick and professional compared to the next group, The Blues Project, who, as the name implies, are a basic rhythm and blues trio. The less said about this "fillâ€"in‘‘ type group the better. The exhibit is staged in three distinct sections, possibly the heart of the subject. The propâ€"room has opened its doors to admit the visitor behind the scenes. Through the eyes of the impressionist one percejves a cottage or mosaic of stageâ€" sets from wellâ€"loved operas â€" the balcony from Romeo and Juliet, the jail scene from Fidelio as well as sets from Aida, la Traviata, The Barber of Seville, Otello and the _ oratorio _ Carmina Bourana. The curtain rises, the orchestra strikes up a rousing chorus from a wellâ€" known opera and the visitor to Man and His World‘s new Opera Pavilion finds himself walking in the wings of the great opera houses of the world. Here he comes face to face with the world‘s great artists and senses something of the magic and thrill of peeping behind the scenes of a huge production. The former _ Italian Pavilion is a fitting choice as a home for an opera exhibit. The City of Venice was the birthplace of grand opera as we know it, the first perâ€" formance being given in the Pitti Palace in 1600.

Three of these are Canadian: Emma Albani, Pauline Donalda and Sarah Fisher who sang in the first radio production of opera in Canada in 1923, and later in the first opera telecast. The finale to Act II is in the form of a hommage to Canadian artists who have made their mark on the international scene. history of opera, the physiology of the voice and the ancient practice of castrating male singers to produce a lovely contralto register.

He also thanked two people who, said _ the _ Symphony‘s President, were mae "‘directly responsible for its success" â€" Mr. James Ramsay, Executive Director of Ontario Place and Mr. Leonard Casey, Chief of Programming. CAMPERS Emerson, _ Lake and Palmer, thrilled the audience with their self styled performance and the standing ovations they received were well and truly deserved. PROPANE Keith Emerson displayed the agility of a trapeze artist, changing moods and music at an alarming speed with an almost nonchalant air. Then came Emerson, Lake and Palmer, from England, complete with a fanï¬slic set of â€" instruments, _ sound system, and stage help. They were billed as the stars of the show and stars they were.
