LEE VENORA City-Born Soprano Sings New Opera on TV Lee Venora, operatic soprano and a winner of the first Jenny Lind contest of the Barnum Festival In IMS, will have a leading role in "Rachel, La Cubana," by Hans Werner Henze which will have its world premiere tomorrow at 8 p.m. on Special of the Week over Channel It will be repeated Saturday at 10:30 p.m. Miss Venora, daughter of Mr.

and Mrs. Joseph Sinagulia, 12 Gwendolyn drive, Trumbull, will sing the role of the young Rachel, who was once the most beautiful and exciting of Havana's music hall stars--the toast of Cuba. Pre-Caslro Cuba The setting is the tawdriness of prc-Castfo Cuba. Miss Venora, who is expected to visit her parents this weekend, is a leading soprano with the New York City and San Francisco Operas. She is married to Frank DeSimone who is slationed with the Army in Europe.

The heyday of Havana's music halls will be recalled in flashbacks by Ihe aged Rachel, portrayed by Lili Darvas, in a non- singing role. Miss Darvas, in- acclaimed Hungarian actress and widow of playwright Fcrenc Molnar, was guest of honor last Oct. 7 for the Hungarian Gradunle Student Scholarship Fund benefit at the University of Bridgeport.

Of his opera, Mr.

Henze said it could not have taken place any place except in Cuba and it has a political message. "Artists and arts are shown in relationship lo a political development," he says. "Art is shown in the shadow and light of corruption and depravity. The aging of art--which also means the aging of a period in history, the aging of an ideology about art--is all centered to that very moment when Fidel Castro and Che Guevara arrive in Havana and lake over," Miss Venora, has appeared in many leading operatic roles such as Madame Butterfly and Mimi in Boheme," bolh in this counlry and abroad, and has performed, with Ihe Greater Bridgeport Symphony orchestra.

"the whole thing was like my own ballet chickens coming home to roost. 1 Getting back to Rhoda, Miss Harper feels that the role generated such wide audience responsiveness because "there are a lot of people, men, too, (hat live single and are happy.
