“To compensate for this, Verdi's music brings to the drama its unique powers of atmosphere. character delineation and contrast,” he believes.
The opera “Macbeth” was first written when Verdi was 33 years old, and was extensively revised 18 years later. It is this latter version which is most often performed today.

Tragedy Will Run For Week
A timeless character with a timeless problem will be presented by the drama department when its production of Shakespeare’s “Hamlet” opens Monday night at 8 in Stop Gap Theater. The play will run through Sunday.
William White, manager of the production, noted yesterday that “Hamlet” is the best known, the most read and the most quoted of Shakespeare’s plays.
“Its universal appeal is due to the fact that many of the things Shakespeare said in the play relate as much to the audience of today as they did to the Elizabethans,” he said.
Virile Man
“Hamlet was a vigorous, virile young man caught up in a net of circumstances and forced into making a decision,”* he explained.
“We too have to make decisions and don’t know which way to turn. These are circumstances that people get into every day that put them into a similar state of mind that Hamlet experiences.”
The drama lecturer pointed out that many critics feel one of the reasons "Hamlet” is a great play is that there is a good deal of Shakespeare himself written into it.”
Universal Appeal
This universal appeal makes “Hamlet” one of the plays every director dreams of being able to do sometime.
“But many directors are afraid to touch it because the part of Hamlet himself is one of the great masterpieces in dramatic art,” White said. "They simply don't feel that they have the person who could identify with Hamlet both physically and intellectually.”
Murray Rose wiU take the Hamlet role in the week-long production, which will play to a limited 93-seat house.
Medal Winner
The Australian Olympic medal-winning swimmer has acted in numerous other Stop Gap productions. He will be supported in “Hamlet” by Bruce Johnson as Claudius; John Rose, Polonius; Gordon Hoban. Laertes; Roger Towne, Rosen-cranz; and Lynn Raynor, Guildenstem.
