Puccini’s opera, La Boheme,
was presented Feb. 7 by the Sam
Houston State College Opera
Workshop in the TJC gymnasium.
The performance, sponsored by
the College Fine Arts Committee,
was given in English with piano
accompaniment and was free to
the public. Dr. Walter Foster,
workshop director, said that La
Boheme is ideally suited for intro-
ducing people of all ages to opera
because of the uncomplicated yet
poignant story and the beautiful
music.
The touring production of the
opera, which included perform-
ances in six central and south
Texas cities, is an outgrowth of
the philosophy of the SHSC Opera
Workshop, that all capable stu-
dents should be given the oppor-
tunity to perform operatic roles.
Dr. Foster’s wish is to create a
training and performing group in
Texas for all potential professional
performers in opera, oratorio, and
concert singing.
