    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: February 21, 2018 Media Contact: Tamara Vallejos, Director of Marketing & Audience Development 303.778.0214 | [email protected] Opera Colorado Announces 2018-19 Season: Verdi’s La Traviata and Mozart’s The Marriage of Figaro in grand, traditional productions at the Ellie Caulkins Opera House Plus, a double-bill of Tom Cipullo’s After Life and Josephine at the new Kirkland Museum of Fine & Decorative Art Now in his 10th year of leading the company, Greg Carpenter to take on new title of General & Artistic Director DENVER—Opera Colorado is pleased to announce its 2018-19 season, anchored by two of the most beloved works in the repertoire: Verdi’s stunning and heartbreaking La Traviata and Mozart’s effervescent comedy The Marriage of Figaro, both to be performed at the Ellie Caulkins Opera House at the Denver Performing Arts Complex. The season is rounded out by the 2018-19 Scene Change offering: a contemporary double-bill of After Life and Josephine by composer Tom Cipullo, for which Opera Colorado will transform a gallery of the new Kirkland Museum of Fine & Decorative Art into a 100-seat theater. “The 2018-19 season is particularly exciting in its contrasts,” says Opera Colorado General & Artistic Director Greg Carpenter. “Both La Traviata and The Marriage of Figaro are iconic operas, and both are masterpieces of music and theater.

  • Transitions Dance Company
    PRESS RELEASE Send date Transitions Dance Company: Triple Bill Trinity Laban’s leading student training company showcases dancers in three brand new works from established choreographers Choreographed by Dog Kennel Hill Project, Theo Clinkard and Ederson Rodrigues Xavier UK Tour 19 February – 27 May “Performances by this enterprising company are always an eye-opener.” (Guardian Guide) Transitions Dance Company’s triple bill showcases the next generation of contemporary dance performers from Trinity Laban with twelve MA students performing three brand new pieces from choreographers Dog Kennel Hill Project, Theo Clinkard and Ederson Rodrigues Xavier. Since it was founded in 1982 by original Martha Graham Dance Company member Bonnie Bird, this pioneering company has aimed to bridge the gap between training and a professional performance career for graduate dancers. Transitions Dance Company aims to allow company members to gain practical experience of life in a touring dance company whilst simultaneously completing their MA Dance Performance. Past alumni of the company include distinguished artists such as Sir Matthew Bourne (New Adventures), Luca Silvestrini (Luca Silvestrini’s Protein), and Emma Gladstone (Artistic Director and Chief Executive of Dance Umbrella). Fieldwork from performance and research collective Dog Kennel Hill Project explores how, as a newly formed company, the dancers locate themselves now and in relation to their past. Through a deconstructed series of arrivals and departures and a language of stumbles, false starts, surges and going round in circles, Fieldwork asks “when do we truly arrive anywhere?” my dance, your touch draws upon research that outlines how physical touch affects our behavioural, cultural, emotional and biological development.

  • Brošuru O 90 Godina Hotela Esplanade
    Raskošna povijest hotela Esplanade Od 1925. godine Esplanade Zagreb Hotel je najpoznatiji i najluksuzniji hotel u Zagrebu i regiji, a u travnju 2015. obilježio je okruglih 90 godina svojeg postojanja. Njegova bezvremenska otmjenost, elegancija i šarm kojima je davne 1925. privukao putnike poznatoga Orient Expressa i danas ga čine elitnim odredištem te kulturnom i povijesnom ikonom Zagreba. Poznat kao hram udobnosti i gastronomije, i u svojim devedesetim godinama drži korak sa suvremenošću, istovremeno njegujući harmoniju tradicije i prošlih vremena. Izgrađen za putnike orient expressa Početkom 20. stoljeća, dva najpoznatija hotela toga vremena su postala premala za sve veći broj putnika koji su stizali u Zagreb poznatim Orient Expressom. Kako bi se zadovoljile potrebe grada uesplanade razvoju, izgradnja novog, luksuznog hotela nametnula se kao prioritet. Hotel je trebalo izgraditi na širokom terenu (španj. ), u neposrednoj blizini željezničkog kolodvora – tada jedine poveznice s Europom i ostatkom svijeta - koji je bio jedna od postaja slavnog Orient Expressa na relaciji Pariz-Venecija-Istanbul. Godine 1917. je raspisan međunarodni natječaj kojem su pristupili brojni izvrsni arhitekti toga vremena, uključujući slavnog Švicarca Adolfa Loosa koji, međutim, nije pobijedio na natječaju. Pobijedio je Nijemac Otto Rehnig, čije je izvorne nacrte preradio Dionis Sunko, kojega danas smatraju arhitektom ovog remek-djela arhitekture “Belle Époque”. Gradnja najvećeg hotela u Zagrebu je trajala samo 26 mjeseci. Na svečanom otvorenju, 22. travnja 1925., okupilo se oko 200 uvaženih uzvanika, među kojima i zagrebački gradonačelnik Heinzel. Novinari su hotelu predviđali blistavu budućnost na međunarodnom planu, a među prvim gostima se našao i gospodin Glück (njem. sreća), koji je pobudio nadu da će se predviđanja i ostvariti.

  • Gioachino Rossini
    MATILDE DI SHABRAN GIOACHINO ROSSINI Olga Peretyatko Juan Diego Flórez Paolo Bordogna Anna Goryachova Nicola Alaimo Michele Mariotti Orchestra del Teatro Comunale di Bologna GIOACHINO ROSSINI MATILDE DI SHABRAN Conductor Michele Mariotti “There truly is a Rossini miracle!” (Deutschlandradio). Acclaiming Orchestra Orchestra del Teatro the mastery of tenorissimo Juan Diego Flórez and the breathtaking Comunale di Bologna young soprano Olga Peretyatko in the lead roles, the press hailed Chorus Coro del Teatro Comunale di Bologna the premiere of Rossini’s Matilde di Shabran at the Rossini Opera Chorus Master Lorenzo Fratini Festival in Pesaro as the “high point of the festival” (the Berlin daily Der Tagesspiegel). Matilde di Shabran Olga Peretyatko Matilde di Shabran was given its world premiere performance in Edoardo Anna Goryachova Rome in 1821. A genuine international hit, it was staged in Vienna, Raimondo Lopez Marco Filippo Romano London, Paris, New York and throughout Italy all before 1830. The Corradino Juan Diego Flórez music of Rossini’s last “opera semiseria” – thus half serious and half Ginardo Simon Orfila comic – contains a succession of beguiling ensemble pieces. The plot Aliprando Nicola Alaimo revolves around the knight Corradino, who has withdrawn to his castle Isidoro Paolo Bordogna and professes to hate his fellow humans. When he meets Matilde di Contessa d’Arco Chiara Chialli Shabran, however, he experiences unknown emotions that have Egoldo Giorgio Misseri nothing to do with hatred... Rodrigo Luca Visani Leading the Orchestra del Teatro Comunale di Bologna, conductor Staged by Mario Martone Michele Mariotti commands an ideal ensemble of singers: while Juan Diego Flórez, “perhaps the best Rossini tenor of our time” Video Director Tiziano Mancini (Deutschlandradio), sings the role of Corradino, that of Matilde is “gorgeously sung by Olga Peretyatko” (The New York Times).

    A Message from Josefa Villanueva-Reyes, Artistic Director and Founder: I welcome you with great joy and happiness to celebrate the Santa Clara Ballet’s 45th Anniversary of the Nutcracker Ballet. The Santa Clara Ballet continues the legacy left to us by our late Director and choreographer, Benjamin Reyes, by sharing this favorite family Christmas Ballet with our community, our student and professional dancers and our loyal supporters. The Company’s roots started right here in Santa Clara, and has continued despite the usual problems of obtaining funding and support. We can continue because of all of you who are present in our performances, and through your generous donations and volunteer work. The Company continues its work in spreading the awareness and the love of dance to warm families and contribute to the quality of life of the community. For this Sunday’s performance of our 45th Annual Nutcracker, the stage will be graced by our Alumni who serve as a testament to the success of the company’s influence to the community and the world beyond. Thank you for your presence today and please continue to join us on our journey. Josefa Reyes JOSEFA VILLANUEVA-REYES started her training in the Philippines with Roberta and Ricardo Cassell (a student of Vincenzo Celli). She was formerly a member of the San Francisco Ballet Company and the San Francisco Opera Ballet.
