51st Annual Smith Lecture, April 4, 2013.
The Department of Physics at The Ohio State University presents the 51st Annual Smith Lecture Thursday April 4, 2013.
Speaking at the Fawcett Center, 2400 Olentangy River Rd. is David J. Wineland, a member of the National Institute of Standards and Technology, Boulder, Colorado, and the 2012 Nobel Laureate in Physics.
The 2012 Nobel Prize was awarded to Wineland for his work that addresses a quantum physics-based computer. Central to Wineland's work is "a superposition state," that posits the possibility that a creature such as a cat can be simultaneously alive and dead. Such feline experiences inform modern research on possible supercomputers.
Wineland's presentation begins at 8:00 p.m.

Gilbert and Sullivan. The Gondoliers. Capital University Conservatory of Music.
For its Spring production, the Capital University,
Conservatory of Music offered the musical farce The Gondoliers Or The King of Barataria by W.. Gilbert and Sir
Arthur Sullivan.
The Sunday matinee of this operetta was a flawless treat
produced and directed by Mark Baker. The
production occupied the Lincoln Theater facilities which presented a congenial
environment for the audience. Parking
was convenient and sufficient. Theater
staff and off-duty police officers directed street traffic so access to the
theater was easy.
The high-spirited overture of The Gondoliers greeted the audience. When the curtain rose to a set depicting a
sunny Venetian piazza, the grey clouds of an Ohio March afternoon were promptly
dispelled.
The pit orchestra of twelve was conducted by William Boggs
who is familiar to opera-goers for his work with Columbus Light Opera and Opera
Columbus.
The plot of this farce is complicated but not too
complicated for its audiences to understand easily. Two infants are secretly
married to each other by their parents.
The infants are eventually entitled to wear the royal crowns of
Barataria. From this premise, there quickly follows the complications of informal
foster-care, bigamy and mistaken (or uncertain) identities. There is satiric bite in the lyrics, most at
the expense of the European noble classes.
Much of the satire in The
Gondoliers is about political issues that are still debated: Egalitarianism, Republican forms of
governments, children’s rights, forms of marriage and even privatization of
governmental institutions. The “one
percent, forty-seven percent” debates of the recent U.S.
presidential elections seemed familiar in this script from 1889 Britain. Even the current debates about water-boarding
are presaged by the torture chamber used in this script by Don Alhambra Del
Bolero, the Grand Inquisitor.
The principal parts and players were:
Marco Palmieri and Giuseppe Palmieri played by Chris Bozeka
and Trent Smith. Their love-interests,
Tessa and Gianetta, were played by Katie Beth Jackson and Alissa Ruth.
Chris Bozeka and Trent Smith. are excellent comic
players. Their distinctive portrayals of
gondolier swains Marco Palmieri and
Giuseppe Palmieri were successful. Their
love-interests, Tessa and Gianetta, are not comic characters. As played by Katie Beth Jackson and Alissa
Ruth, Tessa and Gianetta provide necessary musical relief from the comic poses
of the Palmieri brothers. Jackson and Bozeka
are seniors and vocal performance majors at Capital. Smith is a sophomore also majoring in vocal
performance and Ruth is a junior majoring in vocal music education.
The eventual king and queen of Barataria, Luiz and Casilda,
were played by Emily Riggin and Zack Pytel.
Their romantic duets were memorable.
If ever romantic love had the precise harmony that these two lovers
displayed, broken hearts would disappear and be forgotten. Riggin is a senior majoring in vocal performance. Pytel is a sophomore music education major.
Duke of Plaza-Toro and Duchess of Plaza-Toro, Philip Hurd
and Heather Rudisill These two players
have the principal parts for comic support.
They dance, they joke, they sing and they get laughs. Hurd is a sophomore majoring in vocal performance. Rudisill is a senior at Capital majoring in vocal
performance.
Don Alhambra del
Bolero, Dylan Woodring. Woodring is the
Grand Inquisitor and plays the part wonderfully. He is the villain, dressed all in black. Woodring has a stage presence appropriate for
his billowing back cape and plays the part of comic villain well. His voice however has a happy and friendly
quality that reassures an audience that all will end well, not exactly the message you
expect from a villain.
Much of the singing in this operetta is structured as duets
and quartettes of the principals. The
color and strength of the voices and the precision of harmonies was
enchanting. But this is still Gilbert
and Sullivan so just when you feel the romance in the lyric and melody, the
thirty member chorus rushes onto the stage right and stage left en masse, reminding us that this is a
comedy.
The chorus, male and female, were lively and
well-choreographed. No credit for
choreography is given in the program.
