Richard McKee was the Fat Knight, nursing his voice a bit too much, but delivering the text with exemplary clarity and understanding. The servicable, heavily raked sets were by Emerson College's Anania; the intelligent, production was by Cynthia Auerbach who has been working at the New York City Opera. Auer-bach's direction was busy but never distracting; she found a right tone for the piece, stressing Falstaff's dignity as well as his buffoonery, his venality as well as his nobility. The conductor was Tonu Kalam, who in his student days occasionally wrote music reviews for the Globe. After the performance Kalam said he's "permanently on the other side." Journalism's loss is music's gain: This was a carefully rehearsed, deft job, a performance that recovered quickly from its occasional roughnesses and that got better and better as it went along.

The difficult final fugue was so secure musically that Auerbach could actually stage it interestingly none of the Met line-up across the footlights here. "All men should laugh more," is translator Charles Kondek's rendering of Falstaff's last line: This performance saw to it that we did. REVIEW OPERA this year is the large number of performers there who come from Boston or who have been active here, conductors like Tonu Kalam, Warren Wilson and Benton Hess, designer Michael Anania, wig and makeup supervisor Mikhail Druhani stage director Adelaide Bishop. About half the members of the orchestra were recruited locally. Saturday night's "Falstaff" was a splendid thing a real ensemble performance of this ensemble opera.

Only the Mistress Quickly, Carolyne James (she was Begbick in Sarah Caldwell's production of Weill's "Mahoganny''' awhile back) had a major opera-house voice, perhaps, but all of the performers had voices completely adequate for the size of the auditorium; all enunciated clearly; all acted energetically and effectively. Julia Emoed-Wallace, Catharine Brock and. James were the spirited merry wives James finding ways to sing most of the part rather than braying it out in the has-been mezzo fashion we are used to in the major houses. Gwendolyn Bradley and Robert Johnson were completely winning and sweet-toned as Nanetta and Fen-ton; Harlan Foss made something dementedly af Vr SoA-4040 A ij "A i 'I i at Routes 114 and 495 686 2121 ijX.4 N.

-The George Opera Festival actually accomplishes what other companies write about in their grant proposals. It really does support young and promising singers and musicians and conductors and designers; it serves its community. And it also gives, awfully good performances of opera. The group operates in the' Queensbury High School outside of Glens Falls about two hours' drive beyond 'Tanglewood. In the six-week season five operas are in repertory; this year all of' them are being performed in English.

Familiar works, are, balanced by the less common ones: The current season has Massenet's "Manbn" and Mozart's "Cosi fan tutte" and Verdi's 'as "bread and butter" items; Lee Hoiby's "Summer and Smoke" and Gershwin's "Porgy and as the novelties it's been years since there's been a professional, fully staged "Porgy" in this coun- Of Special local interest SUMMERTHING Dates, times and location are subject to change.
