OPAS closes out season with
internationally-known orchestra
By Jennifer Gressett
The Battalion
The MSC Opera and Perform
ing Arts Society will close its 2 1st
season Saturday with a perfor
mance by the Pittsburgh Sym
phony Orchestra.
MSC OPAS Program Coordina
tor Sarah Nash said it will be one
of only two performances the or
chestra will make in Texas. The
other performance will be in
Houston, she said.
Founded 96 years ago, the
Pittsburgh Symphony is known
worldwide for its top-class or
chestra. International perfor
mances in the Soviet Union and
Poland won high critical acclaim
in 1989. And during the Far East
tour of 1987, this group became
the first U.S. orchestra to visit the
People’s Republic of China in that
decade.
“It is always a coup to get a
performance by a leading Ameri
can orchestra,’ MSC OPAS Presi
dent David Woodcock said.
“even at a world-class university
such as Texas A&M.”
In the past, the symphony has
performed under the direction of
such well-known composers as
Otto Klemperer, Emil Paur, Anto
nio Modarelli, Fritz Reiner and
Andre Previn. But in Aggieland,
it will come to life under the di
rection of Lorin Maazel.
As the music director of the
Pittsburgh Symphony, Maazel is
considered one of today’s most
eagerly sought conductors. He
has conducted more than 4,000
opera and concert performances
with over 130 leading orchestras
worldwide. However, it is his
ability to perform as composer,
musician and entertainer as well
that has won him international
respect.
Born in Paris of American par
ents, Maazel first achieved inter
national status in 1959 by be
coming the youngest conductor
and the first American in history
to be invited to conduct at the
Bayreuth Festival.

Lorin Maazel will lead the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra when
they play in Rudder Auditorium at 8 p.m. Saturday.
During his career, he also
held such positions as artistic di
rector of the West Berlin Opera
Company and principal guest
conductor of the Philharmonic
Orchestra of London, it wasn’t
until 1984 that he joined the
Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra
as music consultant.
Under his direction, the or
chestra is scheduled to perform
Johannes Brahms’ "Symphon)
No. 1 in C minor, Op. 68" ami
Kryztof Penderecki’s “Adagio."

c Four Weddings’ heavy on romance

ried.”
“Coin’ to the chapel and we’re gonna get ma-aa-aa-
The England-filmed flick, “Four Wed
dings and a Funeral,” overflows with cham
pagne, romance and not-so-coy moments.
Billed as a romantic comedy, be warned: it’s
pretty light on the comedy and heavy on the
romance.
“Weddings” is specifically the story of
Charles (Hugh Grant), a 32-year-old bache
lor whose ghosts of girlfriends past resurface
at the weddings he attends. Charles is a wit
ty, charming Brit who has been unable to
make a commitment to any of them.
When a ringing alarm clock rouses
Charles, it’s a mad dash to the first of four
weddings. He and his eclectic roommate,
Scarlett (Charlotte Coleman), habitually over
sleep for weddings.
At the reception of the first of the four
weddings, however, things are about to
change.
There, Charles meets Carrie (Andie Mac
Dowell) a captivatingly beautiful and seduc
tive American woman. That night, the two
spend the evening together. Carrie then re
turns to the United States and, for once,

Andie MacDowell and Hugh Grant play
Carrie and Charles in the romantic comedy
"Four Weddings and a Funeral." The film
follows Charles, a 32-year-old bachelor, as
he attends four weddings and a funeral fa
his friends.
The film is well-directed.
And poignant moments such
as a stirring eulogy and dra
matic reading of a poem by
W.H. Auden at the funeral
are thought provoking.
Charles feels that there may be something
more to a one-night stand.
Over the course of the three remaining
weddings and the funeral, Charles reluctant
ly falls in love with Carrie.
The film is well-directed. And poignant
moments such as a stirring eulogy and dra
matic reading of a poem by W.H. Auden at
the funeral are thought provoking.
Giving life and preventing the film from
being a series of not-so-holy matrimonies,
Charles’ friends are a diverse bunch who go
from wedding to wedding looking for their
perfect match.
The receptions would be as long as they
are in real life without the well-developed
characters of the wedding troupe.
Among them is the boisterous, joyful
Gareth (Simon Callow) whose merrymaking
at the receptions is eventually his undoing.
Gareth’s quiet, pensive partner Matthew
(John Hannah) complements Gareth, the life
of the party.
Charles’ deaf brother, David (David Bow
er), says some of the most important things
in the film without ever saying a word. Par
ticularly close to Charles, David prevents him
from settling for less than his perfect mate.
Fiona (Kristin Scott Thomas) is an attrac
tive, cynical member of the group. She’s se
cretly in love with Charles, which adds a bit
of suspense to the film. The audience does
n’t get to know her as well as her brother
Tom (James Fleet), a clumsy bloke with a
heart of gold.
From wedding to wedding, Charles and
his friends become ever more convinced that
they don’t want to get married themselves
unless they find true love.
If only it could he so pleasant to attend
four weddings and a funeral in real life.
