WGBH to Televise Lowell House Opera

Last year's Lowell House opera, Divertimento, will be the first student-written production ever to appear on television. It will be televised over WGBH-TV, Boston's educational station, on Thursday, Nov. 13, and will feature the original cast.

The opera was composed by John M. Perkins '58 for last April's operatic presentation by the Lowell House Musical Society. The libretto, the tale of a married woman whom three men attempt to seduce, was written by Wayne Shirley '57.

Matilda Cole '60 will portray the married woman; her husband will be played by Alan Rinzler '60. Arthur N. Papas '59, Malcolm Ticknor '57, and O'Brien Nicholas '59 will appear as the three intruders. Howard M. Brown '51, a former tutor in Lowell House will direct the production.
