From the General & Artistic Directors
Dear Friends:
Another summer is here, and another year behind us. In the time since we’ve seen you last, we have been busy
striving to become a better organization than ever before. In January, Tony took up residence in Schroon Lake and
transitioned to full-time General Director. By making this next growth move in our organization, we’ve reaffirmed
our commitment to all of our generous contributors and especially to the community of Schroon Lake. We plan to be
an even more vital part of the North Country by being able to reach out to audiences and supporters throughout the
year.
We’ve again assemble the most talented group of young artists that we’ve ever had and offer you an amazing
season of musical theatre and opera this summer. After a number of seasons of newer operas, we have a bit more
traditional season in 2008. From the opening notes of Gilbert and Sullivan’s Mikado to the last chords of Mozart’s
masterpiece, The Magic Flute, you won’t want to miss a minute. The operas and musicals that we’ll be presenting
this summer will not only offer you much entertainment, but be fantastic learning tools to aid the growth of our
young artists.
Not to abandon our long standing tradition of cultivating new music, we’re also excited to announce that
following the close of the 2008 season, the Colony will remain open for a couple of weeks and will retain some artists
and a skeleton staff to workshop three new operas and present them to the public. Stay tuned through the summer
for details of these exciting events.
We can’t do anything that we do without your help and support, so we’d both like to sincerely thank each of you
that generously contribute to our continued prosperity. Together, we are heading toward our 100th Anniversary with
a strong foundation and eyes to the future.
Enjoy the season!
Tony Kostecki, General Director
Darren K. Woods, Artistic Director
From the Board of Directors
Dear Friends:
Here we are in the 2008 season and it is wonderful to hear the voices and sounds on the hill again. We are so

professional training and experience that is theirs. You all make this possible with your donations of time, talent and
your contributions. During the past year, your contributions have allowed us to improve and maintain the excellent

As we look forward to our 100th Anniversary in 2015, we are proud of the past achievements of
artists and staff, and we are looking to the future and making plans. Our long range planning
development committee are working with the entire Board to develop and define these plans. Tony

A History of Seagle Music Colony
Seagle Music Colony, the oldest summer singer
training program in the country, was founded in 1915,
by world renowned baritone, Oscar Seagle. Oscar made
several concert tours in the United States and Europe,
and recorded albums for Columbia, including the
popular World War I hit "Dear Old Pal of Mine." He
served from 1903-1914 as teaching associate in Europe
with his teacher, the great Polish tenor Jean de Reszke.
De Reszke was a star of the Metropolitan Opera as well
as Queen Victoria's favorite singer.
When Oscar returned home, he opened a studio in
Hague, on Lake George, in 1915. He then moved to
Schroon Lake and taught at the Brown Swan Club,
which is now the Word of Life Inn. In 1922, Oscar
bought the property where the Colony currently stands.
The Colony was quickly nicknamed "Olowan," an Indian
name meaning "Hill of
Song."
Mr. Seagle's
reputation made the
Colony a magnet for
aspiring
singers.
During the 1920s, up
to 125 students would
come each summer,
and in the winter
many would follow
him to Nice, France for
further study at the de
Reszke-Seagle School.
"There is about
the name of Oscar
Seagle a glow of
brilliant
years
and
extraordinary musical
associations. His relationship with the immortal de
Reszke and his own position as a master of many
singers have made him unique among American
artists." (New York Morning Telegram)
Oscar's son John was among the most prominent of
his pupils. Born in Paris, France on February 15, 1906,
he grew up hearing fine singing from morning to night.
When the Seagles left Europe during World War I, John
entered the Choir School of St. John the Divine in New
York City, where he was the soprano soloist for three
years.
John Seagle made recordings for Decca and RCAVictor, and sang with a number of weekly network radio
programs, including Beatrice Lillie, Burns and Allen,
Palmolive, Firestone, Cities Service, Wildroot, Maxwell
House, Showboat and Sal Hepatica. He began singing
with the Cavaliers Quartet in the 1920s and recorded
over 500 hymns with them for an NBC program called
The Church in the Wildwood, which was broadcast in
many countries.
The Seagle Music Colony Singers were one of the
first groups to perform before television cameras. John
Seagle served on the staff of WRGB in Schenectady, NY,
where Colony singers were frequently called upon to
perform. The Colony Opera Guild was formed in 1941
and performed for several years at the Wikiosko Barn
Theatre on Lake George, which was the Bolton Road
home of Mrs. Charles Peabody. After Oscar Seagle's
death in 1945, John directed and taught voice at the
Seagle Music Colony from 1945 to 1985. The old barn
that was Oscar Seagle's studio in Schroon Lake was
extended into a theatre in his memory. John also
taught voice at Trinity University in San Antonio, TX and
continued to sing on radio, television and the concert
stage. He was honored in June of 1996 by the Schroon
Lake Chamber of Commerce as Schroon Lake's Citizen
of the Year. John died in 1997, and the John and Helen
Seagle Scholarship was established in memory of John
and his wife, who gave many years to Seagle Music
Colony.
Under
the
stewardship of John’s
son Peter, his wife
Dodie and their three
sons, which continues
to this day, the Colony
continued in many or
the same traditions.
Then, in 1996, Darren
K. Woods was hired as
General
Di rector.
Under his leadership,
and with a core staff
consisting of Richard
Kagey, Keith Wolfe,
John Mueter, Richard
Williams
and
Tony
Kostecki, the Colony has grown to become the "Best
Summer Vocal Training Program in the United
States" (Classical Singer Magazine, 2000). Today over
500 applicants vie for the opportunity to attend the
Colony. In the past ten years, the Colony has grown
from two productions and eight performances per
summer to six full productions and over thirty-five
performances. This growth mandated the need in 2008
for Tony Kostecki to move to full-time resident General
Director and Darren Woods to transition to part-time
summer Artistic Director.
From its beginning in 1915 and to this day, young
singing actors travel from across the country to study
with the wonderful faculty and staff who gather every
summer "on the hill."
In addition to invaluable
performance experience in opera and musical theatre,
each student receives weekly music coachings and
private voice lessons by the exceptional faculty.
Students also take part in career development classes,
acting and dance lessons. Further, they sing in master
classes for famous singers and artist managers, and
learn the ins and outs of the world of opera and musical
theatre.

career included performing in many of the major television variety shows, specials, and dramas. She
starred in the movie Melba as the famous opera singer Nellie Melba. (Oscar Seagle sang with Nellie
Melba on the concert stage.) Ms. Munsel lives in Schroon Lake and spends time in New York City
where she MC's the annual Licia Albanese Scholarship Foundation Gala concert at Lincoln Center.
She actively supports the Seagle Music Colony program, and gives master classes for the singers.
About Walt & Yvonne Fredericks
Walt & Yvonne are both natives of New Jersey and were married in 1962 after his graduation from
Clarkson University in Potsdam, NY and her graduation from Grace New Haven (Yale) with an RN

in 2001 after selling an electronics business in Ballston Spa and Transplantation Laboratories in
Connecticut and Germany. He has been on the Board and Management committees of numerous
public companies, including a Fortune 100. Most of his business life was committed to early cancer
detection and treatment. The Fredericks vacationed in Bolton Landing for several years before
finding Schroon Lake in 1973. They bought vacant land on the west shore of Schroon Lake in 1981,
built a modest cabin the next year, expanding the house after Mr. Fredericks’s retirement in 2001.
They were introduced to Seagle Music Colony through the good graces of Gerry and Dave Logan,
immediately becoming impressed with the quality of the performances, the educational program and
its professional staff. Mr. & Mrs. Fredericks donated the “Libretto” men’s housing unit that was first
used during the 2006 season.

since 1992. He is the Founder of Hydromotion, Inc., a hydraulic valve company, a Founding Director
of New Century Bank in Phoenixville, PA and Founder and Owner of Tactical Medical Equipment,

the Board since 2004. Along with college friend and fellow Board Member Walt Fredericks, Mr.
Bishop contributed funding for the “Allegro” men’s housing unit, which was completed before the
2006 season.
About Christopher Temporelli
Acclaimed by Toronto's Globe and Mail as "clearly one to watch" and "the total package - a goodlooking singer with a strong, resonant voice," American bass Christopher Temporelli is quickly gaining
recognition in the worlds of opera, concert and recital.
In the 2007-08 season Mr. Temporelli makes his Canadian debut at Opera Atelier in Toronto,
performing the role of Neptune in Monteverdi's Il ritorno d'Ulisse in patria, joins the roster of New
York City Opera for their production of Falstaff as well as their summer VOX festival, and sings the
roles of Dottore Grenvil in La traviata and Betto in both Gianni Schicchi and Buoso's Ghost with Lake
George Opera. He also appeared at Symphony Space for the University of Michigan's Alumni Concert.
In the summer of 2007, Mr. Temporelli was a member of Glimmerglass Opera's renowned Young
American Artist Program and made his critically acclaimed mainstage debut with the company as The
Judge in Philip Glass's Orphée and Pluto in Monteverdi's L'Orfeo.
Past highlights include Dottore Grenvil with Fort Worth Opera; Alidoro in La Cenerentola at the Pine
Mountain Music Festival; Grandpa Moss in Copland's The Tender Land and Master Pausanias in
Chabrier's An Incomplete Education with Bronx Opera; and Marquis de la Force in Dialogues of the
Carmélites, Escamillo in Carmen, and Judge Turpin in Sweeney Todd at the Seagle Music Colony.
Other notable past roles include the title role in Don Pasquale with the Opera Company of MidMichigan and the Forester in The Cunning Little Vixen at the University of Michigan.
Mr. Temporelli was recognized in a live broadcast from New York to the 2007 San Remo Festival in
Italy and internationally on the RAI network after receiving an award from the Franco Zefferelli Fund
for the Arts and subsequently was invited by the Columbus Club to appear in recital. He was also the

The Mikado
SYNOPSIS
ACT I
In the town of Titipu, a chorus of nobles are joined by Nanki-Poo, disguised as a traveling musician, who is
looking for Yum-Yum, the ward of Ko-Ko. A noble lord named Pish-Tush asks what Nanki-Poo’s business is
with Yum-Yum, and learns that the minstrel had seen the girl a year ago when he was a member of the town
band, and they had fallen in love. But Yum-Yum was betrothed to her guardian Ko-Ko, “a cheap tailor.”
However on learning that Ko-Ko was condemned to death for flirting, the minstrel has hurried back to try to
claim Yum-Yum. Unfortunately on his return he finds that far from being dead, Ko-Ko has in fact been let out
on bail, and appointed Lord High Executioner. There is worse to come as Pooh-Bah, who holds every major
office of state, informs Nanki-Poo that Yum-Yum and Ko-Ko are to be married that very day.
Yum-Yum and her sisters, Pitti-Sing and Peep-Bo, appear with their schoolfellows. When Yum-Yum finally
catches sight of Nanki-Poo he reveals that he is the son of the Mikado, and when they are alone, she admits
she does not love her guardian. The two lovers realize their cause is hopeless, and Yum-Yum leaves NankiPoo who then tries to kill himself. Meanwhile, Ko-Ko has received a letter from the Mikado, who threatens to
abolish the post of Lord High Executioner and reduce Titipu to the rank of a village unless a beheading takes
place within a month. On seeing Nanki-Poo about to “terminate an unendurable existence,” Ko-Ko points out
that suicide is a capital offense, and offers to do the job professionally. Nanki-Poo agrees, on the condition
that he can marry Yum-Yum and enjoy one month of married life before he is beheaded. After the execution
Ko-Ko will then be able to marry the widowed Yum-Yum. Amidst the celebrations, Katisha storms in, having
tracked down the object of her affections, Nanki-Poo, threatening to reveal his true identity. She is
outshouted by a chorus of Japanese syllables: “O ni! Bikkuri shakkuri to!” (One of the many possible
translations of which is “So surprised, we hiccup! Bah!”). But the town dwellers are not to be deterred and
“joy reigns everywhere around.”
ACT 2
Yum-Yum is being prepared for her wedding, but soon the awful fact is out that under the Mikado’s law the
widow of a beheaded man must be buried alive. This places Nanki-Poo in a dilemma. If he holds Yum-Yum to
this marriage, she dies a hideous death, and if he releases her she must marry Ko-Ko at once. The marriage
is off and Nanki-Poo determines to do away with himself that afternoon unless Ko-Ko will kill him at once.
But it turns out that Ko-Ko can’t kill anything. To make matters worse, the Mikado and his suite are
approaching the town and will arrive in ten minutes. In desperation Ko-Ko arranges to draw up an affidavit of
Nanki-Poo’s execution.
The Mikado arrives with Katisha who makes much of being his daughter-in-law elect. When Ko-Ko presents
his certificate of execution, the Mikado reads it and says, “My poor fellow, in your anxiety to carry out my
wishes you have beheaded the heir to the throne of Japan!” Ko-Ko and Pooh-Bah find Nanki-Poo and beg him
to present himself, alive, to his father, thereby absolving them of his death. But Nanki-Poo, now married to
Yum-Yum, is afraid of Katisha’s wrath. Unless Ko-Ko will agree to marry the old hag himself, he and YumYum will leave on their honeymoon at once. Katisha, meanwhile is mourning the death of Nanki-Poo, and
when Ko-Ko tries to woo her she is at first reluctant, but he wins the formidable lady with a pack of flattering
lies and a sad, lovelorn song.
Katisha adds her powerful pleas to the Mikado for everyone to be pardoned. The Mikado, a bit bewildered by
it all nonetheless pronounces that “Nothing could possibly be more satisfactory!”

Steve Elmore’s Broadway journey began at the Majestic Theatre with Lerner and Lowe’s Camelot,
and continued with a string of hits including: The Apple Tree, Jenny with Mary Martin; Fade Out,
Fade In with Carol Burnett; as well as revivals of Hal Prince-Susan Strohman Showboat at the

and opera in a masters program at Manhattan School of Music while simultaneously performing in
musical theatre at Papermill Playhouse, Riverside Contemporary Theatre, various summer stock and
children’s theatres. Since then, she has sung with multiple civic opera companies, orchestras, and
theatres. She created a duet recital with soprano Brionna McMann for which composer Seymour
Barab wrote a 20 minute opera skit called The Ruined Maid, which received critical acclaim.
Carolyn’s favorite theatre roles include Madame Giry on the national tour of Ken Hill’s Phantom of
the Opera, Anna in The King and I, Madame Armfeldt in A Little Night Music, Nettie Fowler in Carousel, Jacqueline in La

La Bohème
SYNOPSIS
ACT I
In their Latin Quarter loft apartment, the painter Marcello and the poet Rodolfo try to keep warm on
Christmas Eve by burning pages from Rodolfo's latest drama. They are joined by their comrades — Colline, a
young philosopher, and Schaunard, a musician who has landed a job and brings food, fuel and funds. While
they are celebrating their unexpected fortune, the landlord arrives to collect the rent. Plying the older man
with wine, they urge him to tell of his flirtations, and then throw him out in mock indignation. As the friends
depart for a celebration at the nearby Café Momus, Rodolfo promises to join them soon, staying behind to
finish writing an article. There is another knock: a neighbor, Mimì, says her candle has gone out on the
drafty stairs. Offering her wine when she feels faint, Rodolfo relights her candle and helps her to the door.
Mimì realizes she has dropped her key, and as they search for it, both their candles are blown out. In the
moonlight the poet takes the girl's shivering hand, telling her of his dreams. She then recounts her solitary
life, embroidering flowers and waiting for spring. Drawn to each other, Mimì and Rodolfo leave for the café.
ACT II
Amid shouts of street hawkers, Rodolfo buys Mimì a bonnet near the Café Momus before introducing her to
his friends. They all sit down and order supper. Marcello's former lover, Musetta, enters ostentatiously on the
arm of the elderly, wealthy Alcindoro. Trying to regain the painter's attention, she sings a waltz about her
popularity. Marcello agrees to take her back so, complaining that her shoe pinches, Musetta sends Alcindoro
to fetch a new pair, then falls into Marcello's arms. Joining a group of marching soldiers, the Bohemians
leave Alcindoro to face the bill when he returns.
ACT III
At dawn on the snowy outskirts of Paris, a Customs Officer admits farm women and vendors to the city.
Musetta and revelers are heard inside a tavern. Soon Mimì walks by, searching for the place where the
reunited Marcello and Musetta now live. When the painter emerges, she pours out her distress over Rodolfo's
incessant jealousy. It is best they part, she says. Rodolfo, who has been asleep in the tavern, is heard, and
Mimì hides; Marcello thinks she has left. The poet tells Marcello he wants to separate from his fickle
sweetheart. Pressed further, he breaks down, saying Mimì is dying; her ill health can only worsen in the
poverty they share. Overcome, Mimì stumbles forward to bid her lover farewell as Marcello runs back into the
tavern to investigate Musetta's raucous laughter. While Mimì and Rodolfo recall their happiness, Musetta
quarrels with Marcello. The painter and his mistress part in fury, but Mimì and Rodolfo decide to stay
together until spring.
ACT IV
Some months later, Rodolfo and Marcello lament their loneliness in the garret. Colline and Schaunard bring a
meager meal. The four stage a dance, which turns into a mock fight. The merrymaking is ended when
Musetta bursts in, saying Mimì is downstairs, too weak to climb up. As Rodolfo runs to her, Musetta tells how
Mimì has begged to be taken to her lover to die. While Mimì is made comfortable, Marcello goes with Musetta
to sell her earrings for medicine, and Colline leaves to pawn his cherished overcoat. Alone, Mimì and Rodolfo
recall their first days together, but she is seized with coughing. When the others return, Musetta gives Mimì a
muff to warm her hands and prays for her life. Mimì dies quietly, and when Schaunard discovers she is dead,
Rodolfo runs to her side, calling her name.

The Magic Flute
SYNOPSIS
ACT I
Three ladies in the service of the Queen of the Night save the fainting Prince Tamino from a
serpent. When they leave to tell the queen, the birdcatcher Papageno bounces in and boasts to
Tamino that it was he who slew the serpent. The ladies return to give Tamino a portrait of the
queen’s daughter, Pamina, who they say is enslaved by the evil Sarastro, and they padlock
Papageno’s mouth for lying. Tamino immediately falls in love with Pamina’s face in the portrait.
The queen, appearing in a burst of thunder, is grieving over the loss of her daughter; she charges
Tamino with Pamina’s rescue. The ladies hand a magic flute to Tamino and magic silver bells to
Papageno to ensure their safety, appointing three spirits to guide them. Sarastro’s slave,
Monostatos, pursues Pamina but is frightened away by the feather-covered Papageno, who tells
Pamina that Tamino loves her and intends to save her. Led to the Temple of Sarastro, Tamino is
advised by a high priest that it is the queen, not Sarastro, who is evil. Hearing that Pamina is
safe, Tamino charms the animals with his flute, then rushes to follow the sound of Papageno’s
pipes. Monostatos and his retainers chase Papageno and Pamina but are rendered helpless by
Papageno’s magic bells. Sarastro, entering in ceremony, promises Pamina eventual freedom and
punishes Monostatos. Pamina is enchanted by a glimpse of Tamino, who is led into the temple
with Papageno.
ACT II
Sarastro tells his priests that Tamino will undergo initiation rites (“O Isis und Osiris”). Sworn to
silence, Tamino is impervious to the temptations of the queen’s ladies, who have no trouble
derailing the cheerful Papageno from his course of virtue. The Queen of the Night dismisses
Monostatos, whom she finds kissing the sleeping Pamina, and gives her daughter a dagger with
which to murder Sarastro. The weeping Pamina is confronted and consoled by Sarastro. The
gourmand Papageno is just as quick to break a new oath of fasting, and he jokes with a flirtatious
old lady, who vanishes when asked her name. Tamino remains steadfast, breaking Pamina’s
heart: she cannot understand his silence. The priests inform Tamino that he has only two more
trials to complete his initiation. Papageno, who has broken his oath, is eliminated from the trials,
but after pleading for a cuddly wife settles for the old lady. When he promises to be faithful she
turns into a young Papagena, but soon disappears. After the spirits save the despairing Pamina
from suicide, she finds Tamino and walks with him through the ordeals by water and fire,
protected by the magic flute. Papageno also is saved from attempted suicide by the spirits, who
remind him that if he uses his magic bells he will find true happiness. When he does, Papagena
appears and the two plan for the future and move into a bird’s nest. The Queen of the Night, her
three ladies, and Monostatos attack the temple but are defeated and banished. Sarastro joins
Pamina and Tamino as the throng hails Isis, Osiris, and the triumph of courage, virtue, and
wisdom.

Vespers
By Robert J. Misch
New York Times writer and Seagle Music Colony friend
Many’s the time I have trudged up the Charley Hill
road, fish pole over shoulder, heading for the
hidden reaches of the little stream that is born in
Seagle Pond. That was many years ago. The only
difference between then and now is that in my
boyhood days, I came home with fish!
But more often these days, I chug up Charley Hill
in the tireless Ford, one in the procession of cars
heading for Vespers.
Schroon Lake without
Vespers would just not be Schroon Lake. It is a
Sunday ceremony we cherish, along with the
thousands who have made the pilgrimage to the
Hill. Our little girls are hushed, for once. They’re
in their Sunday best – wearing skirts for the first
time in a week. The family piles in, and off we go.
There is the Seagle Memorial Theatre, nestled in
the trees, with the chiaroscuro of sunlight and
shade playing over its walls. Outside, a little group
of the Colony singers are chatting, laughing. A
latecomer dashes up, breathless, relieved that
Vespers hasn’t begun. We go in and find our
seats, bowing here and nodding there to the
“regulars” we know, who feel as we do about
worship on the Hill.
Silently, the young singers file in. They’re solemn
now. We all rise to sing a hymn – and we really
sing, the richer, fuller voices of the students
ringing out over the dull timbres of the visitors.
And then the solos, duets, choral numbers – the
Bach, the Handel – so carefully rehearsed, so
Vespers c. 1932
26
sincerely done, with just a piano, played like an
angel by Nathan Price, to accompany them. If
ever there is a word to describe the charm and
informality of the service, it is that word –
sincerity.
Some have never sung before an
audience, others still are only in the beginning of
their musical careers – yet all give their best,
sensing the warmth, the friendliness and the aura
of unaffected worship.
From the rear of the auditorium – no dias, no
trappings, no cant – the Reverend Dr. Erington
says, “Let us pray.” One can say “Amen” to Dr.
Erington’s prayer with a deep feeling of conviction,
for his are prayers for all people. Would that
humankind could hear and would heed that still,
small voice, from the hills of the North Country.
And then “Now the Day Is Over,” so right a hymn
to finish every Vespers. For we walk out into the
dying day, to see the sun turning Seagle Pond into
molten gold, with Schroon Lake shimmering behind
it, and the far-off majesty of Mt. Pharaoh benignly
surveying this scene of beauty and human
decency.
As the Seagle pupils go out into life, some bound
for fame, others for lesser state, and as the visitors
leave to go back to their varied ways of life, I
wonder if any one of them will ever forget those
golden afternoons on the Hill and the deep
meaning and memories they hold. I know I never
will.

Seagle Music Colony Guild
This summer the Guild celebrates its
thirteenth season. The mission of the Seagle
Music Colony Guild is to increase awareness and
generate community support, both locally and
regionally, for the exceptional training program
for singers at the Seagle Music Colony. In
addition, the Guild is committed to creating a
welcoming atmosphere at each performance by
ushering and providing refreshments before the
performance and during intermissions.
The
profits raised by the Guild support the Seagle
Music Colony Guild Scholarship Fund. Each year
scholarships are awarded to offset tuition for a
young artist attending the program. After the
2007 season, the Guild was able to fund $9,200
in scholarships. Members also create a homey
atmosphere by adopting the singers for the
summer. Thanks to the members’ support, the
artists are encouraged and enriched by these
friendly relationships.
