THE UNSEEN element of
the opera, but not unheard,
is the orchestra. And the
Vancouver Opera (VO) or-
chestra has a surprising
number of North Shore
members,

Gene Ramsbottom, North
Vancouver resident and
principal clarinet for the
Vancouver Opera orchestra,
is among them. He
estimates that at least a

dozen of this production's
30 musicians hail from the
North Shore.

He finds the latest pro-
duction, Rossini’s The
Barber of Seville, particular-
Iy exciting because of the
guest conducutor, Paolo
Peloso.

What's special about
Peloso? ‘He's ttalian!"’
declares Ramsbotiom,
‘He's got a fiery nature.

His approach to the musie is
very exact. Precise with
details, and fase."

Ramsbottom says there is
a real sense of joviality and
joy in this interpretation of
Rossini’s score — and
brilliance.

The Barber of Seville
continues at the Queen
Elizabeth Theatre Feb. 2
and Feb. 4. For tickets call
