Vancouver Opera Agreement Categorization of Roles Categorization of Roles VANCOUVER OPERA AGREEMENT CATEGORIZATION OF ROLES CATEGORIZATION OF ROLES L = Lead F = Featured S = Supporting B = Bit CB = Chorus Bit Leading Role: A Major, Principal Role. A primary character (or characters) in the Opera from whom all action spreads and around whom all action comes together. A protagonist or antagonist. The heroine, the hero, the villain or the victim whose pivotal position at the center of the plot is eminently vital to the development of the story. A leading role, in addition to its focal position in the plot, bears the greatest vocal and dramatic responsibility in the opera. Featured Role: A Distinct Outstanding Role Given Special Prominence. Not as dominant as a leading role, and not focal in its position relative to the plot. A distinguished character nevertheless, usually requiring a quality voice and/or exceptional acting ability. Dramatic presence, unique vocal range and/or pyrotechnical excellence. The role may have an important aria, duets, a complete scene or a complete act. “Feature” status may also apply to a prominent character involved in the intricate ensemble of an opera whose relationship has a complementary significance to the development of the plot, and who maintains vocal and dramatic presence throughout the opera. Supporting Role: A Secondary, Intermediate, Auxiliary Role, which sustains and strengthens the plot, while maintaining vocal and acting support throughout the action of the opera. A supporting role may have an aria or a duet, considerable amount of ensemble singing or particular acting requirements. Somewhat shorter roles which none the less fit the profile outlined above in their importance and connection to the plot are also classified as supporting. Bit Role: A Small Role. A minor role of limited size and scope in vocal and artistic demands, and of a lesser importance and intensity relative to the plot. A bit role has at least twenty-four (24) measures or more, and is usually performed by a Soloist. In some cases, the role may have less than twenty-four (24) measures and still qualify as a Solo Bit Role, because the opera has no chorus, therefore, a chorister cannot perform it, or has no chorister who sings in that voice range. A Bit Role, may also be assigned to a chorister. It is the components of the role as profiled above which determine its category. Chorus Bit Role: A Small Role of Short Duration performed by a Chorister. In most cases a “Step-Out” role of no more than twenty- three (23) measures of music differing from that music and text sung by the rest of the chorus. A role, possibly requiring a costume change, in a scene not involving the chorus, of no more than ten (10) measures of music. It is understood by Equity and the engager that these categories and definitions will be used in determining role categorization in new works.

The aS trap Of Western Anatolia And The Greeks Abstract This dissertation explores the extent to which Persian policies in the western satrapies originated from the provincial capitals in the Anatolian periphery rather than from the royal centers in the Persian heartland in the fifth ec ntury BC. I begin by establishing that the Persian administrative apparatus was a product of a grand reform initiated by Darius I, which was aimed at producing a more uniform and centralized administrative infrastructure. In the following chapter I show that the provincial administration was embedded with chancellors, scribes, secretaries and military personnel of royal status and that the satrapies were periodically inspected by the Persian King or his loyal agents, which allowed to central authorities to monitory the provinces. In chapter three I delineate the extent of satrapal authority, responsibility and resources, and conclude that the satraps were supplied with considerable resources which enabled to fulfill the duties of their office. After the power dynamic between the Great Persian King and his provincial governors and the nature of the office of satrap has been analyzed, I begin a diachronic scrutiny of Greco-Persian interactions in the fifth century BC.

  • Abstract Why We Turn the Page: a Literary Theory Of
    ABSTRACT WHY WE TURN THE PAGE: A LITERARY THEORY OF DYNAMIC STRUCTURALISM Justin J. J. Ness, Ph.D. Department of English Northern Illinois University, 2019 David J. Gorman, Director This study claims that every narrative text intrinsically possesses a structure of fixed relationships among its interest components. The progress of literary structuralism gave more attention to the static nature of what a narrative is than it did to the dynamic nature of how it operates. This study seeks to build on the work of those few theorists who have addressed this general oversight and to contribute a more comprehensive framework through which literary critics may better chart the distinct tensions that a narrative text cultivates as it proactively produces interest to motivate a reader’s continued investment therein. This study asserts that the interest in narrative is premised on three affects— avidity, anxiety, and curiosity—and that tensions within the text are developed through five components of discourse: event, description, dialog, sequence, and presentation.

  • The Thermopylae Line
    CHAPTER 6 THE THERMOPYLAE LINE ENERAL Wavell arrived in Athens on the 19th April and immediately e Gheld a conference at General Wilson's quarters . Although an effectiv decision to embark the British force from Greece had been made on a higher level in London, the commanders on the spot now once agai n deeply considered the pros and cons . The Greek Government was unstable and had suggested that the British force should depart in order to avoid further devastation of the country. It was unlikely that the Greek Army of Epirus could be extricated and some of its senior officers were urging sur- render. General Wilson considered that his force could hold the Ther- mopylae line indefinitely once the troops were in position.l "The arguments in favour of fighting it out, which [it] is always better to do if possible, " wrote Wilson later,2 "were : the tying up of enemy forces, army and air , which would result therefrom ; the strain the evacuation would place o n the Navy and Merchant Marine ; the effect on the morale of the troops and the loss of equipment which would be incurred . In favour of with- drawal the arguments were : the question as to whether our forces in Greece could be reinforced as this was essential ; the question of the maintenance of our forces, plus the feeding of the civil population ; the weakness of our air forces with few airfields and little prospect of receiving reinforcements ; the little hope of the Greek Army being able to recover its morale . The decision was made to withdraw from Greece ." The British leaders con- sidered that it was unlikely that they would be able to take out any equip- ment except that which the troops carried, and that they would be lucky "to get away with 30 per cent of the force" .

    38 Thirty-eighth Annual Meeting, Upon the motion of the President, a vote of thanks was offered to Mr. Green, for the diligence with which he had collected his materials, and the manner in which he had thrown light upon the subject of his paper. Mr. Green then read a paper hy Mr. Kerslake, on Gifla,^’ which is printed in Part II. p. 16. Mr. Green expressed his opinion that the derivation of the name was not from the river Yeo, which was a modern name. The meeting then terminated. The morning was delightfully fine, and at 9.30, the carriages being in readiness, a goodly number of Members left Yeovil for lamctott liU/ which was regarded as the chief point of interest, not only of this day’s excursion, but of the whole meeting.

Though I was teaching Shakespeare, taking some joy in pointing out his dirty jokes to my students and showing them how to fight using air broadswords; though I directed Shakespeare productions; though I acted in many of his plays in college and professionally; though I attended a three-week institute on teaching Shakespeare, during all of that time, I knew that I was just going through the motions. Shakespeare, and our educational system’s obsession with him, was still a bit of a mystery to me.
