WGTE-FM Plans To Start Broadcasting On May 2

WGTE- FM Plans To Start Broadcasting On May 2 Continued from First Page "We're going to put a real emphasis on the dignity of voice," he said. "There'll be none of this reading off the back of album jackets. And we want to be a vehicle for the local artist - the poet, the author, the musician. "In short," Paine said, "we want to appeal to a minority audience - the lover of classical music, of jazz, even of intellect." It's all very well to mouth high-sounding platitudes about objectives, but what will WGTE-FM actually offer? THE BIGGEST single programming block in its schedule is "Da Capo!" (from the beginning), a program of classical music by historic cycle, which is on the air Sunday through Friday from 6 to 11 a.m. The two other large blocks of broadcast time devoted to classical music are "Afternoon Concert," from 2 to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, and "Nachtmusik." 11 p.m. to 1 a.m. weeknights. LOCAL PROGRAMS on the schedule include taped University of Toledo convocations, the "WGTE Saturday Night" variety show, "Que Tal. Amigos," the Toledo Arts Magazine, and "'The Jazz Artist." From National Public Radio WGTE-FM will offer such programs as "All Things Considered," a sort of radio "Today" show, "Firing Line," "Options on Education,' "World Theater," "National Town Meeting," and "National Press Club.' SINCE THE station first announced its plans to go on the air, it has conducted a campaign to build up its record library. At last count prospective listeners have contributed $3.200 and a library of 1,500 albums accumulated. Constructing a radio station always uncovers little bugs. usually of an acoustical nature. which harrass the technicians. One of WGTE-FM's most Campbell worrisome bugs were the bells of Trinity Episcopal Church, its good neighbor across St. Clair Street. It seems the sound of the bells penetrated the main studio of the station, and the entire room had to be "floated" inside the structure's walls to solve the problem. With that out of the way, WGTE-FM now hopes its sound always will be clear as a bell. Toledo Opera Group Selects The Cream Continued from First Page But a year later on its revival with some changes, Verdi's "La Traviata" was a pronounced success and ha: remained so ever since. The book is by Francesco M. Piave, based on "La Dame aux Camelias" by Alexandre Dumas, the younger, and actually semi-autobiographical. The role of Violetta will be sung April 2 by thrillingvoiced Marisa Galvany of the New York City Opera. who was so impressive in TOA's production of "'Il Trovatore." John Alexander, who has attained world stature as a star singer. will return to Toledo to sing the role of Alfredo. Anselmo Colzani, who delighted as a last-minute replacement in "Rigoletto." will be the father, Germont. William Beck returns as the Baron. Natalie Chudy of the St. Paul Opera will be Flora and reliable Robert Falk, the doctor. ALTHOUGH "THE BRIDE of Lammermoor" does not represent Sir Walter Scott at his best writing. many composers have been attracted to the story of the tragic fate of two lovers separated by family strife. As an opera it is a exemplary vehicle for a coloratura soprano. And for Lucia, who could possibly be better for the May 14 presentation than New York City Opera's Louise Russell. who did so beautifully in the recent Toledo production of 'The Daughter of the Regiment". Her Edgardo will be sung by tenor Michele Molese, native New Yorker who lived for a time in Dayton and finished high school in suburban Oakwood. MARISA GALVANY 'La Traciata' Ashton will be in the best of hands with William Chapman of the New York City Opera, one of the big singing actors, returning to Toledo Opera. His colleague, Ara Berberian will be the Raimondo, with Thomas East, formerly of the Hessisches Landestheater, singing both the roles of Ar• thur and Normand. 6 Among the conductars there will be once again authoritative Anton Coppola of the San Francisco Opera, and, making his Toledo debut, Emerson Buckley of the New York City Opera. If a better cast series for four great operas is to be found anywhere. P for one would like to know about it. But in the meantime, I cannot recommend this series highly enough: it ought to be a must. :
