the arts Death In Family' Proves Potent Opera By James Wierzbicki Post-Dispatch Music Critic James Agee's "A Death in the Family" is a novel both beautiful and profound, one in which prose of uncommon elegance strikes a perfect balance with carefully spun variations on one of the most common themes known to man. For the same general reasons, and primarily because it so faithfully projects the essence of Agee's masterpiece, William Mayer's 1983 operatic version of "A Death in the Family" is also potent. It would serve little purpose, I think, to itemize those moments that I found most touching during Opera Theatre of St. Louis' presentation of "A Death in the Family" the Loretto-Hilton Theatre on Wednesday evening; my own reactions, I'm sure, had to do less with Mayer's musicaltheatrical devices than with private memories triggered by what was being depicted on stage. Still, the work is so filled with honestly limned images of human strength and frailty that it's hard to imagine anyone in the audience not finding at least a few things with which to identify in some deeply personal way.
Doubtless many have 1 not yet been involved in tragedy of the sort around which the plot centers, and doubtless many have not experienced the familial closeness that makes the tragic event all the more bittersweet. But surely everyone knows the taste of loss, the taste of joys anticipated and then denied. Mayer's opera, like Agee's novel, deals with the issue of loss from a variety of perspectives. Like Agee's novel, too, it goes about it in a blessedly non-maudlin way. Never is there an instant in which one suspects the composer of manipulating emotions, of creating a situation and then in the manner of Puccini using heartwrenching harmonic twists and powerful dynamic surges to amplify the viewers' response; actually, Mayer's score is on the bland side, little more than serviceably expressive declamatory or lyric passages comfortably blended with tunes borrowed from the American folksong 1 repertoire.
But there is great virtue in straightforwardness. This might have been a tear-jerker. Instead, Mayer's "A Death in the Family" is just a simple telling of a simple story that by its very nature is almost guaranteed to moisten the eyes of all who share in it. The music is perhaps forgettable; as music theater, it's extraordinarily effective. And OTSL's production is excellent.
Director Rhoda Levine and conductor Bruce Ferden seem to have solved most of the problems presented by the opera's unusually large number of minor characters. Traffic jams musical as well as physical occur only in the busy early scenes. Following Agee's and Mayer's cues, Levine and Ferden gradually sharpen the focus on the opera's three main characters. The longer, more emotive arias of Jay and his wife are accompanied by reductions of background activity and shifts of lighting that deftly emphasize the principal singers' faces; the brief passages sung by Jay's son, Rufus, increasingly feature musical I balances that illuminate not just the words but also the nuances. By the time the third act begins, the stage has been cleared of both clutter and ambiguity.
The telephone that announces Jay's death rings painfully true, in large part because of the pacing of all that has come before it. Baritone Jake Gardner and soprano Dawn Upshaw portray Jay and his wife, Mary. Both are making their OTSL debuts this si season, and both possess strong, pliant voices of the sort one longs to hear in musically substantial roles. The demands in this opera are more on their acting abilities than on their singing; they rise to the occasion heroically, making their characters not larger than life but merely and utterly real. Ten-year-old Jeremy Cummins, a native of Ohio currently studying in New York, plays Rufus.
I've heard better boy sopranos, but only in concerts and on recordings; I don't think I've ever seen a kid so poised in an opera production. The adults get the most lines, of course, but Rufus is obviously the central figure, the persona into which Agee, in the novel, poured his own feelings about the death of his father. In one way or another, the character is on stage for most of the opera; Cummins ought to get some sort of medal for what he does with the role. There are many others in the cast who shine, and very few fail to do justice to the material assigned them. The whole thing works very, very well.
OTSL's production of William Mayer's "A Death in the Family" with sets by John Conklin, costumes by Frances Nelson and lighting by Peter Kaczorowski will be repeated at the Loretto-Hilton Theatre on Saturday and on June 13 and 19. The James Agee novel on which it is based is still in print and is available at most area bookstores.

Weinberger: Expel Diplomats Linked To Terrorist Incidents Opera Compiled From News Services WASHINGTON Defense Secretary Caspar W. Weinberger suggested Thursday that the United States and other countries consider ending criminal immunity for diplomats who plan or take part in terrorist incidents.
"Diplomatic title must not confer a license to murder," he said in a policy speech to an American Bar Association conference on law and terrorism. "Under such circ*mstances, I submit there are limits to the doctrines of diplomatic immunity," Weinberger said. He said the international action must be taken to deal with the growing number of attacks on Americans and U.S. interests abroad. The secretary, whose views on countering terrorism have conflicted at times with those of Secretary of State George P.
Shultz and others in President Ronald Reagan's administration, said the United States must steer clear of extreme solutions. "A total crackdown may endanger the political liberties such action seeks to protect, (but) despair at ever defeating the terrorists can set in, paralyzing policy while it permits violence to spread," said Weinberger. In the past he has advocated stricter limits than has Shultz on the use of force against terrorism. Weinberger named the Soviet Union, Libya, Syria, Iran, Cuba and Nicaragua as countries that have in the past directly allied themselves with "terrorist movements." Weinberger did not specify what moves he recommended against diplomats who take part in terrorism. But he suggested that recent expulsions of Libyan officials from a number of European countries might be inadequate in solving the problem.
"Under the prevailing law of diplomatic immunity, the embassy is a sanctuary. There is no recourse against the so-called 'diplomat' except he said.
