Interlochen
To Perform
The National Music Camp at
Interlochen will present an Amer-
ican Opera Shop, dedicated solely
to the works of American com-
posers.
Practical "on-stage" experience
will be combined with a number,
of seminar classes in production
techniques, creative writing for
the composer and librettist, his-
tory and materials of American
opera, and conducting.
A. Clyde Roller of the Amarillo
Symphony will conduct the stu-
dent orchestra of 40 musicians.
The workshop will be under the
direction of Barre Hill. The group
will present 21 operas on 42
nights.
Prof. Joseph Maddy of the music
school, president of the National
Music Camp, said "This is a pro-
ject that had to be started from
scratch. New housing had to be
built for the students, a place to
produce the operas had to bepre-
pared, the complete organization
of the class work arranged, and
the faculty had to be found who
had experience both in teaching
and performing."
Long-range plans for the work-
shop include the filming of Ameri-
can opera to be distributed to
schools, workshops, and educa-
tional television stations,
