Saturday , Working with Guelph opera singer Ann Linden, Mr. Rubes traces the development of music- and singing throUgh a selection of Christmas songs in many languages. - The program is part of the singer's' efforts to populariie opera, and this forms the basis for his regular' television, show, ,.Guess What, as well. •form his numerous ,concert performance appearanc • Canada. / Wh ile opera will always be something of an "elite" art form, said Mr. Rubes, there is- no reason why ,Children cannot be exposed to fine music and singing at an early age. "This is the only • way to encourage people• to develop a love of music, he said in a recent interview. '!While.'opera itself is nly patronid by six percent of e people in Germany - the home of opera - nevertheless there are manly people who have never even had the chance to think about music as an art form."
