The Age from Melbourne, Victoria, Australia • Page 18

FRIDAY 26 AUGUST 1994 THE AQE 19 Arts Entertainment BtJIted by RAYMOND GILL Exposing National secrets of the day cm tm jt A new exhibition celebrates the theatre institution prompted by one woman's vision to find and nurture Australian talent, writes Sonia Harford. antique theatre programs. Also on display are the ornate costumes worn by Johnson in her early days as a singer. Van Straten believes the significance of the National Theatre lay in its openness to new ideas. He said the company's milestones included the first four-act 'Swan Lake' produced in Australia, and an innovative ballet titled 'Corroboree' which toured nationally in 1951.

"It opened Australians to the fact ballet could be indigenous and didn't have to use tutus," he said. Another first, a staging of Menotti's contemporary opera, 'The Consul', in 1952 made a star of local singer Marie Collier. The company's Royal Performance of the opera 'Tales of Hoffman' brought out the public's fervent love of monarchy in 1954. As the Queen watched the opera in the Princess Theatre, loudspeakers were erected outside, and 20,000 people stood in Spring Street listening, because they knew she sat inside. 'National Treasure' is at the Performing Arts Museum, Victorian Arts Centre from 27 August to 6 November.

National continues as a drama and ballet school, one of many performing arts schools in Australia; but back in the 1930s, the young and talented had few choices. They either went to an individual teacher, or saved up and left home. "In England Gertrude Johnson saw so many young Australians who used to have to go overseas to train," said the exhibition's curator, Frank van Straten. "A lot of them were exploited and would have done anything to get a job. She said 'why can't we have something like this in Fired by the cause of the young performers, Johnson returned to Melbourne In 1935 to set up the National Theatre as a school and professional company.

Three head teachers William P. Carr, Herman Schildberger and June Alexander stayed with her for many years, training at least two generations of Melbourne performers in drama, opera and ballet. Their generous, yet ambitious philosophy, is illustrated by the exhibition of photographs such as Thring's, set design sketches and The National Theatres 1952 production of Menottis contemporary opera.

Compiled by Soma Harford.

THIS was a kind of make-or-break concert because the artists performed only one work Mahler's lengthy 'Third Symphony" and there was no room left in the evening for anything else. Those indifferent to Mahler's music, or music-lovers who find it hard to reconcile the composer's works with his aspirations, would have been hard pressed to find much delight here, apart from the actual standard of performance. The reading was admirably clean and tensile. Very few intonative errors came across from the hard-worked brass, and the percussion (which appeared to contain most of the members of Synergy) kept their dynamic output to a reasonable and discreet level. Apart from the first trombone and first trumpet, who took the night's honors from where I was sitting, the Sydney Symphony's most impressive section on this night was the wind; not for individual lines but for their work as an orchestral choir.

Even during those parts of the symphony in which the wind play a subsidiary role, their precise and confident group sound gave great pleasure. Mezzo Nancy Maultsby sang the Nietzsche extract that forms the text and inspiration for the fourth movement, as well as the few solo lines in the following Wunderhorn setting. Her tone is appropriately mellow and dark in timbre, but she also has the enviable ability to project powerfully, even when doubled by a mass of violins. The Victorian Boys' Choir blmm-bammed with a will and Faye Du-mont's singers acquitted themselves BEFORE his retirement in June, Kenneth Hince served 'The Age' for 16 years as music critic with distinction. His reviews were invariably polished and utterly literate: literate beyond the call of duty for even 'The Generous praise and scathing criticism alike were dressed In the beauty of the English language that made his criticisms perfect essays.

For those who know Kenneth, that was hardly surprising. This four-year medicine student who abandoned those studies in favor of a music degree (in much the same way as did Berlioz), was, and is, passionately committed to books and writers, in his role as one of the country's leading antiquarian booksellers. Thomas Hardy is one of his exemplars, although he is always willing to sell first editions of Thackeray or even Virginia Woolf to us of lower tastes. "The Age' has long borne its critics through the worst travails of outside criticism. Kenneth Hince's predecessor, the composer Felix Werder, endured 14 years of attack from readers and performers (every critic in every discipline knows that many will attack; few are willing to praise).

Kenneth's criticism of visiting businessman Gilbert Kaplan's conducting of the Mahler Resurrection Symphony, found him even at odds with Prime Ministerial taste. There is of course far more to being a critic than being a literate and graceful writer although those rare com- Former 'Age' arts editor Anthony Clarke pays tribute to Kenneth Hince, a graceful critic who produced art himself. Kenneth Hince modifies certainly help in making one's opinions palatable. What is also needed is an unrelenting desire to seek and commend great (or even respectable) achievements in the field one is covering and equally to attack when reasonable standards are not reached. Kenneth Hince neVer mm RANK THRING in tights is one of the more exotic Melbourne secrets uncovered in a new exhibition at the Performing Arts Museum.

Thrlng, together with many famous colleagues, was photographed in all his finery on stage at St Kilda's National Theatre, a private performing arts school founded in 1935 by a Melbourne-born opera singer, Gertrude lohnson. The museum's 'National Treasure' exhibition, opening 27 August, commemorates Johnson's achievements in training a remarkable group of Australian singers, actors and dancers over 30 years. In her brave promotion of new plays and operas, Johnson is also credited with bringing about a flowering of Melbourne's cultural life between the 1930s and 1950s. The National Theatre's alumni includes many of Australia's biggest names in the performing arts playwright Ray Lawler, set designers John Truscott and Louis Kahan, actors Lewis Fiander, Mary Hardy, Noel Ferrier and Patricia Kennedy, dancers Marilyn Rowe and Lyn Golding and, more recently, Helen Noonan and Stanton Welch. mellowed.

He remained trenchant to the last when needed, or properly glowing, as in the last review he wrote for this paper, of the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra performance last June of the minor symphony of Cesar Franck and the oboe concerto of Richard Strauss. "It was a wonderful experience to look back at over the Franck, at the end of this program," he wrote, "to the superb playing of the soloist and orchestra in the Strauss concerto, where for the listener emotion and intellect come together with the fleet and elusive comfort of winter sunshine." It was that type of writing, and eloquent simile that and countless readers, relished and relished his surprise comparisons that ambushed us from their jungle of black print, as when, in the same review, he wrote of the MSO's performance of the Franck symphony that "it was a performance of the highest quality, with genuine four-wheel suspension and the finest degree of passenger If I have dwelt more on Kenneth Hince's literacy than on his musical judgment and opinions, it is because judging a critic's opinions is the most contentious thing one can do. No reviewer can be truly objective; all commentators carry baggage of great loves and hatreds. The most we should hope for is consistency of judgment.

1935 drama starring Shirley Temple, Joel McCrea and Rosemary Ames. G. Lewis Fiander, who first performed with the company as a 14-year-old boy, recalls Johnson as a great inspiration in his career. "The artist was paramount to Gertie, and she was building stars," he said. "She had a marvellously imperious quality, and she reeked of the big time.

In Australia, when so many people were imported for the big roles, she had a philosophy that was new to me, and was what I wanted." Johnson held that Australians should appreciate their performing artists as warmly as their talented cricketers or footballers, said Fiander. Encouraged by Dame Nellie Melba, Johnson carved out her own successful career in 1920s London, becoming particularly well-known as a definitive Queen of the Night in productions of Mozart's 'The Magic Flute'.

Ill HI lj I Ml II I III I II II II A bland debut that's not easy to fathom Li At I Music ABC Great Psifonrnn Series No. 3: Sydney Symphony Orchestra, mezzo Nancy Mauftsby, Fay Oumont Singers, Victorian Boys Choir, conductor Edo de Waart Concert Hall, Tuesday. CLIVE O'CONNELL fairly enough, showing confidence in their five minutes' work with some bursts of well-rounded, lavish part-singing in the quiet, cadential bars that punctuate 'Es sungen drei Engel'. Edo de Waart's conducting was masterful, at Its best in the two outer movements where the material is thoroughly symphonic, not atmospheric sketching or scene-painting.

He impressed most in powerful, broadly drawn passages and had clearly prepared the reading with attention to detail, ensuring that rapid assages, from the strings in particu-ar, were accomplished with unanimity and attention to textural interplay. The last time most of us would have heard this orchestra in Melbourne would have been in circumstances similar to those obtaining on this night. In 1992, the Sydney orchestra took part in the ABC's Celebration of Orchestras Festival, playing Mahler's 'Fifth Symphony' under de Waart. Certainly, this performance impressed as superior to that on the previous visit for the sustained power and dedication shown by players and conductor. A highly rewarding display, then, even if this Mahler symphony's constructional patchiness and emotional leaps and falls were not to everyone's taste.

Viewpoint PHILIPPA HAWKER induced viewer claustrophobia in a way that intergalactic escapades don't: 'seaQuest DSV, despite its mass of special effects, doesn't really solve that problem. And there's not really a sense of the wonders of the deep. Aboard the nifty craft he describes as a 1000-foot Swiss Army knife, Captain Bridger speaks nostalgically of how he has missed the ocean, but he would have seen a lot more of it on his Caribbean island. On the seaQuest, he might as well be working at Loy Yang B. We're briefly introduced to the crew, who seem pleasant but unchar-ismatic.

They include the young black officer who relieved Stark of command; a Margot Kidderish chief engineer; a youthful computer whizz-kid; a burly security officer whose first name is Manilow honestly and a hologram who looks a bit like the Captain from 'The Ghost and Mrs Muir'. There's tension between the navy crew and the scientists on board, headed by the quietly glamorous Dr Kristin Westphaien (Stephanie Bea-cham, who was Sable Colby on 'Dynasty'). The beige leisure suits don't reappear on board everyone wears slightly dull outfits dark navy overalls and white roil-neck skivvies. After a slowish beginning, things warm up: the fiendish Stark is prepared to wreak all sorts of havoc to hunt down seaQuest, and Bridger has to use his ingenuity (and, alarmingly, his dolphin) to tackle her. 'seaQuest DSV makes a smart, slightly bland debut.

It will need a little more depth not from the sub, but from the acters and context to keep its viewers' interest. SEVEN 6am Sons And Daughters. G. 6.30 Agra's Cartoon Connection. G.

A FUTURISTIC mega-budget underwater adventure series, 'seaQuest DSV (Channel 10, 5.30 pm, Sunday), is a combination of familiar elements In a new setting. It's a submerged 'Star Trek'; it stars Roy Scheider, looking remarkably like Lloyd Bridges in 'Sea Hunt'; the music is from the school of 'Star Wars'; Flipper the dolphin returns, except this time his name is Darwin and he has acquired, courtesy of a computer, Mr Ed-like communications skills; and if you wondered what Ros Kelly has been up to since the sports rorts affair well, she's back, she means business and she's prepared to use nuclear weapons. The Ros Kelly look-alike, the formidable Captain Stark (Shelley Hack), starts off as commander of the sea-Quest DSV, a state-of-the-art submarine. After a showdown in which she's prepared to use the craft's nuclear capacity, Stark is relieved of her command by another officer. But she's mad as hell, and it's not the last we see of her.

The seaQuest's designer, Nathan Bridger (Roy Scheider), is no longer in the Navy he quit six years earlier to live on a Caribbean island. But an old Admiral buddy tempts him back, not into the service, but on to the sea-Quest, ostensibly for a visit only. It's part of a scheme to persuade Bridger to assume command, although he insists he won't be drawn back into the military and looking at the beige polyester leisure suits worn by the Admiral and his team, you can understand his initial reluctance. The seaQuest is a peace-keeping craft for the United EarthOceans organisation, a bigger, damper United Nations. The politics of the year 2018 are a little bit hard to work out in this two-hour pilot episode: we do learn, however, that there are unprincipled rebels at work under water.

The chief villain is a Teutonic Dr No, a rather unconvincing figure who would be laughed off a 'Thunderbirds' set. Fortunately, Stark has more than enough steely megalomaniacal evil for two.
