MAD ELAINE CHAMBERS
IN CONCERT WEDNESDAY
lit is with a feeling of justi
fied pride that the Alaska Mu
sic Trail will .present Madel
ine Chambers, the outstanding
lyric-coloratura soprano of the
New York City Center Opera,
as the second event of the cur
rent concert season. The con
cert will take place in the SJJC
Auditorium on Wednesday,
Nov. 23, at 8 p. m.
The algo-old tradition that an
American artist must make a
career in Europe before being
recognized in one’s own coun
try has received a severe jolt
these days, .wihen young and
talented American singers are
performing in every major
opera house in Europe and are
occasionally finding it hard to
accomodate the demands plac
ed upon them for engagements
in this country.
While listening to Lucinej
Arnara at Glynbourne or at the ,
huge open-air opera perform-1
ances in Rome — when look- j
ing forward <‘.o Zara Nelsova’s \
appearance at the opening con
cert of tihe San Francisco Sym
phony season, first in the rost
er of brilliant guest artia.s wh
ich includes Yi-Kwei Sze at a
later date — when standing be
fore a poster in Rio de Janeiro
announcing the Welcome-Home
concert of Madame OKga Coe
hlo — one remembers with a
great. deal of pleasure and pride
that all those glamorous per
formers once played or sang
their hearts out to our Alaska
Music Trail audiences, and left
Alaska and the North with only
one desire: — to return there
as soon as possible, or rather
as soon as four weeks could a
gain be found — which sounds
quite impossible.
Made la in e Chambers, who
will appear at the second AM
T concert this season, has won
every important American and
European vocal contest, includ
ing the International Competi
tion for Opera Singers in Lau
sanne, Switzerland, (the same
prize which once launched Vic
toria de los Angeles on her
I world career), the Lyric Assoc
! iation Contest in Milan, Italy,
1 and the Marian Anderson A
i ward. In April of 1955, she was
selee ed as winner of the Met
ropolitan Opera Auditions of
the Air.
A native New Yorker, of
Austrian and Polish descent,
and a graduate of New York
University, Miss Chambers
was granted a Fulibright Fel
lowship to Ii aly, and while
thare she made her debut in
“La Boheme” at Teatro Nuova
in Milan. Upon return to U.
S. A. she was immediately en
gaged by the New York City
Center Opera and assigned
leading roles in Carmen, Don
Giovanni, Rigoletto, Falstaff,
Marriage oif Figaro and Merry
Wives of Windsor. Her perfor
mance in Richard Strauss’
Ariadne at Central City in the
* summer of 1954 was acclaimed
as the highlight of the Colora
do Opera Festival.
Both her audiences and her
press have been lavish with
their praise: “A voice of ex-1
traordinary sweetness and
touching expressiveness” (New
York Times): “A voice of ele
gance, purity and immense
. chlarm” (Denver Post); “The
s ben singing of ' the evening”
■ (Chicago Daily Tribune); “This
: young and beautiful singer is
r a revelation!” (Corriere della
Sera, Milan .
l ’ To make this event one of
> distinction, the Alaska Music
Trail is happy to announce
that it has succeeded in enlist
ing the services of one of the
United States’ greatest accom
panists — .Ralph Linsley. A
graduate otf Yiale University,
with Phi Be.a Kappa, Mr. Lin
sley perfected his music stud
ies in 'Paris and London. He
has 'been permanent accom
panist to Nan Merriman for
ten years, and has also been
making concert tours with
Leonard Warren, Tito Schipa,
Brian Sullivan, Nicola Mosco
na, Joseph Schuster and others
Sports Trail -
gainst. All circumstances con
sidered, this year’s coaching
job at Nebraska has been tre
mendous. Football needs men
like Glassford.
Bill Glassford, Nebraska —
Thank you, Mr. Wilkinson. As
for our game, the answer is
simple. Oklahoma is a great
team with fine depth. As for
leaving Nebraska, I feel won
dertful. I feel like I’ve been re
born. It’s been a great strain
People don’t realize the time
and work required to coach.
Old Professor — Nobody
knows the trouble you’ve seen,
I daike it.
Woody Hayes, Ohio State —
I had no troubles, professor. It
was the best football game any
team ever played for me. We
were excellent on offense, mag
nifioant on defense. And that
Cassady; he’s the greatest ever.
Let’s face it, we beat them for
the full 60 minutes.
Bennie Ooskehboun, Michig
an — What can we say? They
outplayed us, and the better
team deserves to win, doesn’t
it?
Old Professor — So I've*
heard. I also think I heard the
bell ending this pleasant per
iod. Bundle up well, gentlemen.
It’s right sharp out. Good day.
