Beanie �f tbe itibsidited nature of
• the opera houses, 'Renee said the
members of companies are much like
civil „servants. Once the initial year long
apprenticeship is served, job security
follows, if the apprentice is hired
permanently.
Over•100 productions
After Renee was hired permanently,
she went on to participate in over one
hundred productions, concerts, shows,
operettas, musicals and more, all
totalling more than 1,000 performances.
''Sometimes we wouldn't see each
other for 48 hours, though we slept in
the same bed," , said Walter.
One of the more exciting aspects of
working with the Dutch opera was the
opportunity to work with different
directors. Even more thanany individ-
ual opera capturing a position as her
favorite, she was intrigued by what
different directors could do with the
material. She points to British director
John Cox as probably the best one she
worked with, someone whose interpret-
ation of a work could inspire his
performers to new artistic heights.
"People leave the theatre crying and
that's what it's all about."
Of all the productions she performed
in, the ones- she most liked were "tin
Ballo ui Mascherd" by Verdi and "Le
nozze di Figaro" by Mozart.
After working in Europe, she finally --
made the Move to Canada; a dream her
• husband, a farmer„ hadheld since he
, first worked in Cimida' Abut 1:2 years
ago.
Not surprisingly, she wentto the Can-
adian Opera Company and was accept-
ed for the group's production of Anna
Bolena as understudy to Joan Suther-
land.
"Canadians are doing a really good
job," she said and singled out the
opera companies in. Toronto, Hamilton
and Vancouver.. She also saw a televised .
program from Montreal which she
was also impressed, calling it "world
class".
• Ardstic expression
"Opera is the most complete form of
artistic expression. Any siltation is
done," she explained. "It's a three
dimensional kind of art."
"People want to recognize themselv-
es on stage, that's what you go to the
theatre for."- ,
Although there is more government
sponsorship for opera • companies in
Europe, she noted that there seems to
be an underlying rule to the type of
patrons the opera has on both contin-
ents.
"If you want to see it„ you do, and if
You don't, you don't. •
"It's always been a selective group, if
you want to be there and if y,ou're not
interested, you're not there."
