DAYTON OPERA GUILD
CONCERT SLATED AT UD
Game shows and opera? The Dayton Opera
DAYTON, Ohio
Guild will show how this unusual mixture is possible when it
presents "Words and the Music," a concert combining American
operas and a game show format, at 8 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 25, at the
University of Dayton in the Kennedy Union Boll Theatre.
Admission to the concert is free and open to the public.
"'Words and the Music' is designed to introduce people of
all ages, especially students and senior citizens, to opera. The
concert also gives young professional singers stage experience 1n
an innovative setting," said Helen Vawter, president of the
Dayton Opera Guild.
The four artists-in-residence who will perform "Words and
the Music" are Lora Fabio, soprano; Ozie Jamison, bass; Jon
Kolbet, tenor; and Jeanne Wentworth, mezzo soprano. They have
been hired by the Dayton Opera in conjunction with the Dayton
Opera Guild and will be accompanied by Jeffrey Powell, chorus
master and music administrator for the Dayton Opera.
Several audience members will be selected as game
contestants for "Words and the Music." If the singers
successfully perform scenes from American operas illustrating a
category chosen by the contestant, the contestant wins a letter.
The contestant must win enough letters to spell "opera muse"
before time runs out in order to win the game and a prize.
For more information about "Words and the Music," an
artists-in-residence concert sponsored by the Dayton Opera Guild,
