works from "Madame Bovery" to
Tolstoy's "Anna Karenina." Donizetti's
main opus has a tendency to be eclipsed
by the prodigious output of his contem-
porary, Verdi.
The story-libretto takes place in
Scotland about the year 1700 and con-
tains the standard elements of a
historical novel as well as Gothic
romance. There are ghosts, evil
prophesies fulfilled, forged letters, and
- of course - a classic mad scene. The
star-crossed lovers embrace a destiny
in which communion is reached only
through death and transfiguration.
"Verranno a te sull'aure" has become a
model duet for lovers parting.
Edita Gruberova's performance is
restrained and doesn't quite convey the
loneliness or the great staying power of
the human heart. As a result, the later
mad scene isn't as convincing as it
might be. Yet Edgardo's death as sung
by Alfredo Kraus contains the full sub-
text of violent emotion - the passionate
stillness as well as the Nietzscherian
amor fati. The mellifluous melodies
swell just enough toaccent the-pathos
of Edgardo's destiny. He longs for
death with a sweeping fervor because
he believes he will finally be united in
peace with Lucia.
Other highlights include the choral
epilogue to Raimondo's "Dalle stanze
ove Lucia" wherein the Ambrosian
Opera Chorus demonstrates an ability
to turn a well-known phrase with a
bright, new inflection.

the actor at age 14 in junior high
school and put Dillon in "Over
the Edge" (1978) as a tough
street kid. Several top flight
roles followed, with Dillon
becoming a new symbol of
teenage rebellion in "My
Bodyguard," "Little Darlings,"
''Tex,' 'The Outsiders,"
"Liar's Moon" and
"Rumblefish." But in "The
Flamingo Kid," there is a new
Matt Dillon to be discovered.
Sure, he's still a legend in his
own neighborhood, but he's a
rumblefish out of water with a
flair for comedy and a crush on
shapely newcomer Janet Jones.
"Dance Fever" star in
major film role
The tall, sunny blonde shines in
her first major film role after
brief appearances in "One
From the Heart" and "Grease
II." A veteran at age 22 of five
seasons on TV's "Dance Fever"
team, Janet Jones will follow
her role in "The Flamingo Kid"
by starring in the eagerly
awaited film version of "A
Chorus Line."
Also starring is a seasoned trio
of top performers. Richard
Crenna (as slick sports car
dealer Phil Brody) recently
made his mark in "Body Heat"
and "First Blood," and will
soon reteam with Sylvester
Stallone in a second "Blood"
In Love," and Jessica Walter (as
the status-conscious Mrs.
Brody) is best remembered for
asking Clint Eastwood to "Play
Misty For Me."

For director Garry Marshall,
"The Flamingo Kid" is a
comedy right up his alley.

youthful casts of hit TV shows
