possessed con tinuous flame of continuous beauty highlighted by the chilling contrast of the evil Scarpia chief of police Leif Roar starred this season in the Canadian Opera Com panys Die Walkure But as Scarpia in Tosca his baritone voice produced some of the best music of the opera In this ROGER DOUCET REGULAR SINGER opera he has wider canvas of shapes and colors Indeed as he sings of his desire to possess Tosca the opera primadonna at any price his spinechilling aria is set against the angelic and colorful procession and voices of choir boys They assemble in the church with lighted candles leading the way for the bishop The total ef fect is opera at its dramatic best Conductor Bryan Balkwill had the Toronto Symphony soar in heightened effects during this first act and through to the climax of the opera Hehad the musicians play dramatizmg musical peaks in contrast to lyrical moments of melodic beauty just as Puccini would have intended By the second act Marisa Galvany was interpreting the role of Tosca with beauty and force Toscas strong spirit of determination to save her ar tistlover Cavaradossi from death at the orders of Scarpia reached the audience Indeed OKecfe

Doucet began his repertoire of foreign anthems when he learned the Japanese anthem for benefit show for Tokyo Joe wrestler disabled in car accident Its sometimes difficult to track down words and music Doucet says Ive had to go to the various consulates where people have been very cooperative Theyre eager to help when stranger is taking the trouble to team their anthem Musically none of the an thems have been difficult Ive had 30 years of singing and con servatory training so music 728983 isnt problem Pronounciation was the greater challenge try to cap ture the flavor of the language itself The Slavic anthems were little harder because of un usual accents on vowels and Hand Made See Pottery Being consonants As for singing his own na tional anthem Doucet says Its still thrill for me Ive
