Mangalore, Apr 5: “She should be stoned to death,” the elders used to emphatically read the verdict. But can the innocent be lost that way? Prophet Daniel rose. “I am not the part of this injustice. The innocent cannot be victimized this way,” he said. And they were exposed and condemned.
‘Susanna’, a musical operetta penned by Fr Rudolf Pinto OCD with music by Alban, Honnavar, was staged at Infant Jesus Shrine grounds at Bikarnakatte here on Sunday April 3.
The operetta is based on the Susanna’s episode that is found in the book of Daniel. The operetta impressed one and all, and the audience stood to give ovation for the performances of these simple amateur artistes from Honnavar, who breathed life into the operetta.
