l'LACIDO DOMINGO: In Penh at last. in concen with acclaimed soprano Julia Mi genes. No concessions, except P/S/U but have you heard what opera lovers are paying for seats overseas(andeven in Sydney)?

LES M ISERABLES Our original allocation of seatswentwithindays, butwe werelucky enough to get more ... and more. No-one should miss this opponunity to sec the world's most popular musical.

MUSICALS When times are mugh. musicals d istrac1. Tty Nunsense with June Bro~ll at His Majesty's Theatre, or the rock musical Living ln The Seventie~ at SWY Theatre. Aliceshouldbeinterestmgat theSpareParts Theatre. or the tough musical Jonah Jon<:5 which the Academy of Performing Arts 1s doing at the Hole in the Wall Studio Theatre.

REVIVALS Nearly as many as there are musicals. Catch up again on Wallnowering. Paddy.NoSugar-allwinners. highly recommended.

LES M ISERABLES Our original allocation of seatswentwithindays, butwe werelucky enough to get more ... and more. No-one should miss this opponunity to sec the world's most popular musical.

MUSICALS When times are mugh. musicals d istrac1. Tty Nunsense with June Bro~ll at His Majesty's Theatre, or the rock musical Living ln The Seventie~ at SWY Theatre. Aliceshouldbeinterestmgat theSpareParts Theatre. or the tough musical Jonah Jon<:5 which the Academy of Performing Arts 1s doing at the Hole in the Wall Studio Theatre.

REVIVALS Nearly as many as there are musicals. Catch up again on Wallnowering. Paddy.NoSugar-allwinners. highly recommended.

SHAKESPEARE RULES OK! When word got around that The Trust wa setting up a company devoted to staging The Bard 's works in a mobile version of Shakespeare's original Globe Theatre, almost JOOO actor contacted the new company's director, John Bell within a fortnight.

"They 're coming from Melbourne, Adelaide, Brisbane and even Hobart . It is so encouraging to know that Shakespeare is still as highly regarded by young actors today," says Bell. "Each one sees merit in keeping the works alive and playing on the stages of Australian theatre.

"We 're leaving nothing to chance," says actor/ director John Bell. "This is too great an opportunity to build on the tradition of Shakespeare in Australia to let it slip by unchallenged".

During hi acting career Bell has built up a great affinity with Shake peare 's plays (apart from playing many Shakespearian roles, he spent five years with Britain 's Royal Shakespeare Company). He has also weathered the storm of running a theatre company (for 15 years as director, actor and guiding founder of the imrod).

The new Shakespearian company should be ready to go on the road by January next year. The play are chosen, the back up taff selected and the venues are being finalised for the first tour.

Bell believes that sometimes certain traditions which have anached themselves to the performance of Shakespeare's plays over the years , have made the works seem less relevant to modem times.

" I think we've got to build our own subtext as Australians into Shakespeare's plays," he says. "We've got to find a way that is truthful to us as performers that reflects, as far as possible, the lives of the people who are watching the play. It 's our obligation.

"To try to emulate the Royal Shakespeare of the ational Theatre is not our job. That's their job."

SURPRISE BIRTHDAY FOR THE BARD More than 20 years ago, Sam Wanamaker became obsessed with the idea of rebuilding Shakespeare's Globe Playhouse on its original Thames-side site.

Wanamaker is an accomplished thespian whose career has involved making more than 50 films. He has acted opposite and directed Ingrid Bergman in the play This Too Shall Pass, starred in Macbeth in Chicago and Broadway productions, and he directed Prokofiev 's War And Peace for the opening opera at the Sydney Opera House. But when it came to resurrecting The Globe, everyone shook their heads and said "no way".

On April 23, 1992, 428 years after Shakes-peare 's birth and approximately 400 years after The Bard first began writing plays, The Globe is scheduled to "re-open" . The reconstruction, at a cost of some £8 million, will form part of the International Shakespeare Globe Centre. Future plans for the Centre include the new Inigo Jones Theatre, a pem1anent Shakespeare Globe Exhibition, a., audio-visual Archive and Library, the Globe Education Centre and a Grand Piazza surrounded by hops and restaurants.

Australia is playing a major role in bringing this plan to fruition. The Shakespeare Globe Centre

The Trust extends its apologies to Mr. Macfarlane of Glenunga, S. A., for an incorrect acknowledgement of his Life Membership in The Trust's 1989 Annual Report.

Australia Inc, an affiliated member of The Inter- business involvement in the

national Globe Centre in London, is helping to raise arts, effectively releasing funds from public and private sectors for The substantial sums of money atrons of The Trust Globe reconstruction and building of the into the arts community in International Globe Centre. It is also, like its British Australia. counterpart , a research centre for Shakespearian The proposal has already

work, providing international exchange programs for academics, theatre professionals and performance companies.

The Shakespeare Globe Centre Australia is a founding sponsor of John Bell and The Trust's new touring Shakespeare company (see previous story).

The Shakespeare Competition 1990 is another activity central to the Shakespeare Globe Centre Australia. This inaugural competition includes music, design and performance categories and is currently being held throughout SW and ACT high schools.

Finals of the Shakespeare Competition will be held in the art-deco Hayden Orpheum Picture Palace at Cremome (courtesy of Mike Walsh) form part of the Mini-Shakespeare Festival from Thursday August 23 to Sunday August 26.

The Festival also includes a witty and entertaining portrait of The Bard entitled To Sydney

From Stratford (Shakespeare Spoken And Sung From Schubert To Sondheim) starring acclaimed mezzo-soprano, Elizabeth Campbell and popular film and tage actor Ivar Kants. The show will focus on non-Elizabethan interpretations of songs from Shakespeare, featuring melodies by Schubert and Berlioz as well as more contemporary offerings by John Dankworth and Broadway composer Stephen Sondheim. Jointly devised by The Globe Australia and Music and Heritage, the show will be staged in the high vaulted Gothic Chapter House of St Andrew's Cathedral.

Other activities include a special screening of Franco Zefferelli 's Romeo And Juliet at the Hayden Orpheum Picture Palace and an Othello Master Class by Sam Wanamaker at the Actors ' Centre.

ARTS AND TAXES - A NEW INCENTIVE Megatrends 2000, a new book forecasting social trends, predicts that during the 1990s, the arts will gradually replace port as society 's primary leisure activity.

The Role Of Business In The Arts, an authoritative report from ABSA {Australian Business Support for the Art - a division of The Trust), reflects the accuracy of that prediction with research showing that private sector expenditure on the arts rose 26% during the 1986- 1989 period. To be precise, arts sponsorship by private business in Australia last year totalled $47 million nationally.

But of course, it 's 1990 now and times are tough. Some businesses are cutting back publicity and promotion expenditure by as much as 40 precent. So it is indeed timely that the Federal Government has received a proposal that will both alleviate the corporate tax burden and encourage

been endorsed by all State and Federal Arts Ministers. They, like ABSA, are convinced that business will respond favourably with increased investment in the Arts .

In putting the proposal together, ABSA has been able 10 tap some of Australia 's sharpest corporate brains. Susan Young, ational Tax Manager for Duesburys, co-ordinated the ABSA proposal. Ms Young is confident that the Treasury will be receptive to the proposal because " it will have a minimal effect on revenue. The imputation system and capital gains tax provisions effectively ensure that tax not paid by a company will be recouped by a company's shareholders".

The proposal recommends that tax incentives be used for corporate support of the arts.

ABSA's chief executive, Mr Adam Salzer, explains: "The actual policy concentrates on Section 51 of the Income Tax Assessment Act which allows art sponsorship to fall under the area of normal business expenditure along ide such areas as marketing and advertising.

"Our extensive research (undertaken by consumer research and strategic planners, Yann, Campbell , Hoare & Wheeler) revealed that most businesses already used Section 51 in their support for the arts . Accordingly we are proposing an increase in taxation reduction for business under Section 51.

"Major work has been undertaken in convincing the government that this a tax neutral platform, " he added.

Tax incentives would allow companies to claim more for arts sponsorships than for normal business expenses and would ease the difficulties of obtaining sponsorships being experienced by the arts industry during the current economic downturn.

ABSA sees its proposal as offering government two major benefits:

(I) the arts industry would be les dependent on government grants and resources available to the arts industry could be enhanced;

(2) the incentives proposed would result in minimal long-term revenue loss to the Government

and may in some cases result in revenue gain. Arts funding, at present, is partly supported by

corporate advertising. And because corporate advertising and promotion usually represents expenditure incurred in earning assessable income, it involves no tax expenditure by government. So an increased tax deduction is an attractive option to direct government outlay.

The amount of the increase in tax deductibility for arts sponsorship was a matter for negotiation. "We are pursuing a policy that only those arts bodies who are registered under the Elizabethan Trust or who are registered as non-profit organisations under Section 78 will benefit from the platform," said Mr Salzer. "It will not be for commercial bodies. The objective is for busines to work hand in hand with government. Most government arts policies work with non-profit arts organisations.

" If the government decides to back the platform," aid Mr Salzer, " it could go through in six months but we cannot really predict a date.

" If the platform is accepted it will be the most important thing ABSA will achieve in its entire existence."
