More than 150 people showed up for Friday's opening performance but the courtroom could barely accommodate 100, so the cast immediately voted to stage a second show for the overflow Declines in donations and grants produced a $250,000 debt that forced it to lay off three of its four full-time employees in May The group also postponed plans to stage Puccini's "Madame Butterfly" in favor of Gilbert and Sullivan's much shorter and far less elaborate "Trial by Jury "It will be odd to walk in here on Monday and not hear that soaring soprano," Breen said It tells of a woman who sues for breach of promise after being spurned by her suitor for another As the defendant sings, "These are very strange proceedings Breen welcomed the opera into his courtroom, arriving early and staying late during rehearsals while maintaining a full calendar 'Trial by Jury' Staged in Real Court Jul 20, 8:13 AM EST The judge reels drunkenly into the courtroom, where the defendant is a two-timing cad and the plaintiff a tearful, jilted ingenue The twist in the Nevada Opera's version is that the jurors are sitting in a real jury box and the judge on a real bench And conductor Jon Fay says it also has wonderful acoustics " Using the courtroom was cheaper than building a set, said Julie DeHan, the opera company's fund-raising and special events director " Necessity and invention combined to lead the company to select the one-act opera and to stage it in a real courtroom The opera company had a month to prepare for Friday's opening in the very unfamiliar surroundings As with most Gilbert and Sullivan operas like "The Mikado" and "The Pirates of Penzance," the thin plot is carried by lilting melodies and broad overacting The opera, part of Reno's monthlong Artown festival, was scheduled to run through Sunday "Trial by Jury" is Gilbert and Sullivan's only one-act work and the only one with no spoken dialogue And, as has happened for 128 years, the comic opera "Trial by Jury" ends with a verdict that resolves everything in typical Gilbert and Sullivan implausibility Like many arts groups around the country, the Nevada Opera is strapped for cash "There's no (sets), there's no backstage And it's a real judge, District Judge Peter Breen, in his 30th year on the bench "Having an opera company here kind of emphasizes that Reno is the `Biggest Little City in the World,'" he said It's all a little bit off the cuff," said Stuart Duke, who plays the pompous usher and doubles as the production staff stage manager "He always worked under the premise that you could take the fanciest cuisine and if you dug hard enough you could reduce it to its peasant form," Paddleford said Smith spent the final years of his life encouraging young chefs, researching a book on biblical foods, and traveling to his favorite restaurants and markets in Hong Kong, New York and San Francisco But in 1997, seven men filed a lawsuit alleging they had been sexually abused by Smith as youths "The Frugal Gourmet," which aired on PBS from 1983 to 1997, wasn't about being cheap, but about making good food simply Paddleford said Smith's mother would always make do with whatever she received, and Smith developed a great appreciation for rustic cooking Six said the abuse occurred while they worked for him at the Chaplain's Pantry, a restaurant he operated in Tacoma in the 1970s "People liked the down-home approach "The Frugal Gourmet" became the nation's most-watched cooking program, and a series of accompanying cookbooks broke sales records for the category Mike Shaffer, the Tacoma attorney who represented the seven men who accused Smith, declined to comment Friday " Smith is survived by his wife, Patricia, and two sons When money was tight, grocers would give his mother cast-off produce Wearing his signature striped apron, he prefaced the show with history lessons about the culture of each dish, from Armenian meat pie to Welsh cakes with currants " In the 1960s, Smith, a United Methodist minister, began teaching a course at the University of Puget Sound in Tacoma titled "Food as Sacrament and Celebration Smith died in his sleep Wednesday, Jim Paddleford said "It was wonderful â€â€? we would get these letters from people saying that he allowed them to travel to places they would never see and try foods they would never have tried and the good he had done being taken away by largely unsubstantiated innuendo," Paddleford said He and his insurance companies paid an undisclosed sum to settle the lawsuit He had long suffered from heart disease and had a valve replaced in 1981 Smith was soon off the air, though he denied the allegations and was never charged with a crime " He moved the show to Chicago, and his career took off with an appearance on Phil Donahue's talk show He was 65 "When it was all said and done, the peasant form was the foundation of all cooking for him "The saddest thing was he saw a career he had built 'Frugal Gourmet' Jeff Smith Dies Jul 9, 8:37 PM EST <EM>The Associated Press</EM> SEATTLE -- Jeff Smith, a white-bearded minister who became public television's popular "Frugal Gourmet" before a sex scandal ruined his career, has died, his business manager said Friday Smith's enthusiasm for food began during his childhood in Tacoma The seventh alleged Smith abused him after picking him up as a hitchhiker in 1992 They liked the history part," Paddleford said " In 1974, he got his own program on the local PBS affiliate â€â€? "Cooking Fish Creatively "But he saw there was no way to undo or overcome the public relations and so he decided to retire " F |
