Local College Students Perform An Operatic Double Feature

Saddleback’s brilliant vocal music students perform Gian Carlo Menotti’s The Telephone and Norman Weston’s Bernice Bobs Her Hair:

The Telephone, which tells the comic story of a man’s frustration with his girlfriend’s addiction to her telephone. remains remarkably relevant today, 70 years after it was written. The composer, Gian Carlo Menotti, was one of the 20th century’s most important opera composers, remembered especially for his Christmas opera, Amahl and the Night Visitors, which was an annual television tradition for many years.

Bernice Bobs Her Hair, written by longtime Saddleback professor Norman Weston, will be receiving its world premiere. Based on F. Scott Fitzgerald’s 1920 story of the same name, it is also a comic reminder that behavior, in this case teenagers behaving selfishly, hasn’t changed in 100 years.
