Biographical History
In 1976, the Institute for the Arts and Humanistic Studies sponsored the production of the original opera "Be glad then, America" to commemorate America's bicentennial. The opera incorporated a chorus of two hundred Penn State choir students, professional opera singers from the Metropolitan Opera, popular folk singer Odetta, and Penn State's ROTC students as soldiers. The production was planned by Stanley Weintraub and William Allison, the Institute's Director and Associate Director at that time, respectively. Composers from across the country sent applications; Weintraub and Allison selected the work of Pulitzer Prize winner John La Montaine. The opera was conducted by the Boston Opera's Sarah Caldwell, and was performed in the newly-completed Eisenhower Auditorium.
