A—10 s GOLUMBIA PLANS OPERATIC SERIES Gurney and Castagna Will Be Featured During 20 Programs. OLUMBIA has planned a new series of 20 programs de- signed to promote a more widespread appreciation uf‘ opera and operatic music. Called “Understanding Opera,” the_’ series will start November 5, featur- ing two promising young singers— John Gurney, basso, and Bruna Cas- tagna, contralto. The initial broadcast is intended to | llustrate current tastes in opera. It| will include outstanding selections from three great operas. Gurney will sing two famous arias, the “Calf of Gold,” and Mephistoph- eles’ “Seren#Me” from Gounod's “Faust,” while Miss Castagna will offer the “Habanera” from Bizet's *“Carmen.” The orchestra will play the colorful prelude to Wagner's opera “Lohengrin.” All of the programs in the series have been prepared by Columbia in | co-operation with a distingus lshed committee of the Juilliard School of | Music. ‘ Columbia said the broadcasts will be presented as a direct result of an increasing interest in operatic and classical music throughout the United | SBtates. The series, it said, will seek to stimulate that interest and to direct it into channels which afford greater enjoyment of operatic music for the average radio listener. Each program will feature outstanding soloists and choruses and the Columbia Symphony Orchestra under the direction of How- | 11 ard Barlow. ik * BEN BERNIE and his orchestra will begin working for a new| sponsor October 29. The inaugural broadcast, which will | ~ find Bernie and his orchestra back in | New York after an extensive tour, will present a wide variety of talent by remote control pickup. From Dallas will come a salute from Harry Sosnick and his orchestra. Mary Small will sing from Washing- ton. The voice of Tamara, exotic revue dancer and singer, will be heard | from Boston. George Olsen and his| orchestra, in Chicago, also will con- tribute to the program. % ok SIX nations will respond to an inter- | national Red Cross roll call in| four languages from seven cities dur- | ing a special broadcast over N. B. C. October 30. Officials of the Red Cross will speak from Japan, Czechoslo- vakia, France, England, Canada and the United States.
