“The Licinian Tomb, Rome: New Evidence for the Display of Portraits in Roman Chamber Tombs.” Frances Van Keuren, art. 7:30 p.m. 116 visual arts building. Sponsored by classics department. 542-3839.
Unpublished documents in the Archivio Centrale dello Stato in Rome refer to the theft of five Roman portraits and a sarcophagus from the tomb of the noble Licinii, on the Via Salaria in Rome. These antiquities can all be traced to the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek in Copenhagen, where they reside today. Excavation reports allow that these portraits would have been placed within the façade and the two chambers from the tomb, and inscribed cinerary altars permit the identification of four of the five portraits. This new evidence not only identifies the origin of these pieces but also brings to light the first-known instance of noble Romans placing portraits in their tombs.

A Good Man Is Hard to Find. 8 p.m. April 12 and 3 p.m. April 13. Seney-Stovall Chapel, Lucy Cobb Institute. Sponsored by drama department and School of Music. 542-3737.
This world premiere is presented in conjunction with Ideas for Creative Exploration (ICE). Admission is free, but donations will be accepted. This modern chamber opera, based on Flannery O’Connor’s short story masterpiece of the same name, is a collaborative effort bringing talent and ideas from across the state.
O’Connor’s short story “A Good Man Is Hard to Find” is a dark comic parable about a Georgia family who come across a serial killer, the Misfit, as they travel to Florida on vacation. The confrontation raises questions of redemption, faith, grace and common humanity.
The opera is composer David Volk’s doctoral dissertation at UGA.
“With electronic sound, I felt I could depict the complexity of the Misfit and the unfolding horror of the story more poignantly than with acoustic instruments alone,” Volk says. “Still, I knew I wanted to use live acoustic instruments in conjunction with the electronics and retain certain aspects of traditional opera orchestration.”
