Original Toronto Star caption: Singer stars in opera from washroom. Strange environment for opera: Bass Jan Rubes, in role of a giant disguised as a dragon in Canadian Opera Company's current production of Siegfried, performs his role in a washroom offstage at the O'Keefe Centre so as to simulate echoey sounds of a cave. Rubes' voice is heard issuing realistically from cave for this role.
