´ La BohemeA Vivid Original Design Production! Artistic Director Steffanie Pearce Music Director Greg Ritchey Stage Director Josh Shaw Assistant Conductor & Chorus Master Brian Holman Set Designer Ardean Landhuis Lighting & Projections Designer January 24, 2021 | 6:30pm Tlaloc Lopez-Waterman Barbara B. Mann Performing Arts Center Wardrobe Supervisor Caitlin Durrance The Blagojevic Sponsored -Sazonov Group In Part By: at A Message From The ARTISTIC DIRECTOR For our highly anticipated Barbara B. Mann debut, we present a fresh new look at this most popular Puccini opera. The idea came when I was searching for a poster image. Mindful that Puccini composed the work at the height of the Impressionist movement, I started looking at Paris street scenes of that period and came across Van Gogh’s Terrace Cafe at Night. The painting sparked a vision of the characters in the opera living upstairs from that cafe and coming down to hang out there, just like Van Gogh and the Paris Impressionists would have. A vibrant young creative team from across the United States have been collaborating since October to bring this original design production of Puccini’s most loved grand opera to Southwest Florida. Stage director, Josh Shaw, describing this new production explains, “La Bohème is a timeless story with themes as relevant today, as they were in the original setting. In the late 1880s Paris was filled with a concentration of larger than life artistic characters -- Van Gogh, Gauguin, Toulouse-Lautrec, and others. In our production, we are imagining our bohemian lovers as moving in the same circles as the great Impressionist artists who rebelled against classical subject matter and embraced modernity, creating works that reflected the world in which they lived. -

Comunicato Stampa
COMUNICATO STAMPA Otello, omaggio a Giuseppe Verdi nel bicentenario della nascita, inaugura la Stagione lirica e di balletto 2013 Giovedì 2 maggio alle 20.30 si alza il sipario sulla Stagione lirica e di balletto 2013 del Teatro Lirico di Cagliari. Una stagione sempre molto attesa dal pubblico che, anche per quest’anno, segna la rinascita e la voglia di proseguire nella diffusione musicale del Teatro Lirico di Cagliari. Sei opere liriche ed un balletto, una produzione in più rispetto all’anno scorso, tutti titoli di grande interesse che, certamente, troveranno il gradimento del pubblico, sia per quelli noti che per quelli ricercati: Otello, Macbeth, L’amico Fritz, I Shardana, Così fan tutte, Pagliacci, Red Giselle. L’inaugurazione è affidata al doveroso omaggio, in occasione del bicentenario della nascita, a Giuseppe Verdi (Roncole di Busseto, Parma, 1813 - Milano, 1901), massimo operista italiano: Otello, dramma lirico in quattro atti, su libretto di Arrigo Boito, dalla tragedia omonima di William Shakespeare, e musica, appunto, di Verdi, va in scena per sei rappresentazioni, dal 2 al 10 maggio, per il XIII Festival di Sant’Efisio del Teatro Lirico di Cagliari. Lo spettacolo inaugurale, un stimolante allestimento dello scorso gennaio della Fondazione Lirico Sinfonica Petruzzelli e Teatri di Bari, conta dell’eccezionale regia di Eimuntas Nekrosius, geniale artista lituano, celebre in tutto il mondo dello spettacolo per aver curato importanti allestimenti teatrali e che ritorna a Cagliari dopo l’allestimento di La leggenda della città invisibile di Kitež e della fanciulla Fevronija di Nikolaj Rimskij-Korsakov che inaugurò la Stagione lirica e di balletto 2008, delle scene di Marius Nekrosius, dei costumi di Nadežda Gultiajeva e delle luci di Audrius Jankauskas che sfruttano tutte le potenzialità drammaturgiche dell’opera con pochi elementi scenici e colori assemblati con grande pulizia ed eleganza, oltre a movimenti essenziali, in un gioco di rimandi simbolici. -

Bellini's Norma
Bellini’s Norma - A discographical survey by Ralph Moore There are around 130 recordings of Norma in the catalogue of which only ten were made in the studio. The penultimate version of those was made as long as thirty-five years ago, then, after a long gap, Cecilia Bartoli made a new recording between 2011 and 2013 which is really hors concours for reasons which I elaborate in my review below. The comparative scarcity of studio accounts is partially explained by the difficulty of casting the eponymous role, which epitomises bel canto style yet also lends itself to verismo interpretation, requiring a vocalist of supreme ability and versatility. Its challenges have thus been essayed by the greatest sopranos in history, beginning with Giuditta Pasta, who created the role of Norma in 1831. Subsequent famous exponents include Maria Malibran, Jenny Lind and Lilli Lehmann in the nineteenth century, through to Claudia Muzio, Rosa Ponselle and Gina Cigna in the first part of the twentieth. Maria Callas, then Joan Sutherland, dominated the role post-war; both performed it frequently and each made two bench-mark studio recordings. Callas in particular is to this day identified with Norma alongside Tosca; she performed it on stage over eighty times and her interpretation casts a long shadow over. Artists since, such as Gencer, Caballé, Scotto, Sills, and, more recently, Sondra Radvanovsky have had success with it, but none has really challenged the supremacy of Callas and Sutherland. Now that the age of expensive studio opera recordings is largely over in favour of recording live or concert performances, and given that there seemed to be little commercial or artistic rationale for producing another recording to challenge those already in the catalogue, the appearance of the new Bartoli recording was a surprise, but it sought to justify its existence via the claim that it authentically reinstates the integrity of Bellini’s original concept in matters such as voice categories, ornamentation and instrumentation. -
Kenneth E. Querns Langley Doctor of Philosophy
Reconstructing the Tenor ‘Pharyngeal Voice’: a Historical and Practical Investigation Kenneth E. Querns Langley Submitted in partial fulfilment of Doctor of Philosophy in Music 31 October 2019 Page | ii Abstract One of the defining moments of operatic history occurred in April 1837 when upon returning to Paris from study in Italy, Gilbert Duprez (1806–1896) performed the first ‘do di petto’, or high c′′ ‘from the chest’, in Rossini’s Guillaume Tell. However, according to the great pedagogue Manuel Garcia (jr.) (1805–1906) tenors like Giovanni Battista Rubini (1794–1854) and Garcia’s own father, tenor Manuel Garcia (sr.) (1775–1832), had been singing the ‘do di petto’ for some time. A great deal of research has already been done to quantify this great ‘moment’, but I wanted to see if it is possible to define the vocal qualities of the tenor voices other than Duprez’, and to see if perhaps there is a general misunderstanding of their vocal qualities. That investigation led me to the ‘pharyngeal voice’ concept, what the Italians call falsettone. I then wondered if I could not only discover the techniques which allowed them to have such wide ranges, fioritura, pianissimi, superb legato, and what seemed like a ‘do di petto’, but also to reconstruct what amounts to a ‘lost technique’. To accomplish this, I bring my lifelong training as a bel canto tenor and eighteen years of experience as a classical singing teacher to bear in a partially autoethnographic study in which I analyse the most important vocal treatises from Pier Francesco Tosi’s (c. -

Marcello Guagliardo, in arte Giordani, era kiwaniano, socio del KC Augusta.
