New National Theatre,Tokyo 2013/2014 Season Guide NEW NATIONAL THEATRE,TOKYO September 2013 - July 2014 Opera Ballet Dance Play MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT Welcome to New National Theatre, Tokyo The New National Theatre, Tokyo, is Japan’s only national theatre dedicated to the performing arts of opera, ballet, dance and plays. Since its opening in October 1997 this theatre has planned and produced works of a consistently high caliber, earning critical acclaim in both Japan and worldwide. I would like to express my deep respect for the efforts of all those involved to date, and my heartfelt thanks to the patrons for their support. The New National Theatre, Tokyo has two major missions. The first is to con- tinue to create world-class performances to present in Japan and abroad, while the second is to become a theatre that is widely enjoyed and loved by the people of Japan. We will strive to fulfill these missions and become a theatre that the Japanese people will refer to with pride and affection, and that those abroad will regard with respect and admiration. In the 2013/2014 season, we have prepared a widely varied selection of produc- tions which is a distinctive feature of the New National Theatre, Tokyo. This is the last seasons for Mr. Tadaaki Otaka, an artistic director of Opera, and for Mr. David Bintley, an artistic director of Ballet and Dance, so I believe that this season will be the culmination of their four-year term. In the play section, the ambitious projects of Ms. Keiko Miyata, an artistic director of Play, are lined up. We look forward to seeing you in the theatre.

And now, Die tote Stadt (New Production) 11 Wozzeck 12 a few words about our line-up for the upcoming season, which will be my fourth Cavalleria Rusticana/I Pagliacci (New Production) 13 and final one. Arabella 14 Rokumeikan 15 2013 marks the 200th anniversary of the birth of Giuseppe Verdi. At NNTT, the 2013-2014 season opens with a new production of Verdi’s “Rigoletto”. The production is directed by Andreas Kriegenburg and will be conducted by Pietro BALLET Rizzo. I look forward to these performances of the new production. “Rigoletto” Ballets Russes Stravinsky Evening 17 is followed by four productions that we as a theatre must cherish, just as we The Nutcracker 18 cherish all of you. The first of these is “Le Nozze di Figaro”, then “Les contes Swan Lake 19 Symphony in Three Movements/Grosse Fuge/ 20 d’Hoffmann” . Heading into the new year, we present “Carmen” and “Madama New work by Jessica Lang Butterfly”. I do hope you will thoroughly enjoy these repertory productions. Our Faster/Carmina Burana 21 second new production of the season will be “Die tote Stadt” by Erich Wolfgang The Prince of the Pagodas 22 Korngold. This opera is not frequently performed, and is one I knew I wanted to do. I am confident that all involved, from the two leads, who have been cast in challenging roles, to the entire production crew, will bring out the true merit of DANCE this work. Next up, an opera from a composer from the same era, which created a Nakamura Megumix Shuto Yasuyuki 23 buzz during its previous run here: “Wozzeck” by Alban Berg. This is followed by DANCE to the Future ~ Second Steps ~ 24 a new production of Cavalleria Rusticana and I Pagliacci”. These are two operas A Women’s House 25 DANCE ARCHIVES in Japan 26 that reward repeat viewings, and for them we have secured the services of two fine tenors. Next, we present “Arabella”, an opera that always brings laughter to audi- ences. It is also one that holds special meaning for me, as it was the first produc- PLAY tion I oversaw as Artistic Director at NNTT, and I had really hoped to stage it OPUS/Edward II 29 again in my last season here. Pygmalion 30 Les Séquestrés d’Altona/History of Mizuho in Manila 31 Rounding off my four-year term, NNTT presents a Japanese opera. The selection The Tempest 32 for the season finale embodies our hope for the continued growth of Japanese Nineteen-year-old Jacob/Time Stands Still 33 opera, as we bring you “Rokumeikan”, based on the play by Mishima Yukio.

  • La Fanciulla Del West«
    PREMIERE OF »LA FANCIULLA DEL WEST« On Saturday, September 29, at 7:00 pm, the curtain will rise on the 2018/19 season’s first premiere: Cusch Jung directs Giacomo Puccini’s La fanciulla del West (The Girl from the Golden West) for the Oper Leipzig. Prof. Ulf Schirmer, Intendant and General Music Director, conducts the Gewandhaus. Puccini set this, his seventh opera, in a gold mining camp in the Wild West. Loneliness and isolation define the miners’ raw, masculine existence, ruled as it is by a clearly defined pecking order. Here, far from home and hearth, the men’s search for gold becomes a search for true meaning in life. Surrounded by the miners, Minnie the barmaid (Meagan Miller) is the personification of hope for a new life. For Sheriff Jack Rance (Simon Neal) and the gold miners, she embodies their hopes and dreams. But then a stranger with a dark past arrives (Gaston Rivero as Dick Johnson), threatening the camp’s order. La fanciulla del West (The Girl from the Golden West) was commissioned by the Metropolitan Opera in New York, and was premiered there in 1910. As he did with La Bohème and Madame Butterfly, Puccini creates a richly contoured world for his Wild West opera, complete with its own atmospheric musical idiom. With La fanciulla del West, Puccini innovated with a through-composed, large-scale musical form, in which he moved seamlessly from duets to musical dialogue. In doing so, he distanced himself from traditional Italian opera and focusing more on the psychological expressiveness of his music.

À afirmação imaterial e poética im- põe-se a pergunta terrena e material: e enquanto vivemos e sonhamos, não choramos, não cantamos, não amamos e não acreditamos em comunidade? Uma das mais poderosas formas de bem-estar e de reconciliação é a partilha comunitária da Música, de uma simples melodia, não sozinhos, mas cercados por milhares de vozes. Claro que existe essa barreira, quase indecifrável, que divide as emoções de massa da verdadeira consciência estética, mas a prova está nos resultados, esses bem decifrá- veis: perdemo-nos na multidão ou, no meio dela, nos descobrimos como indivíduos unidos, mesmo comungando das nossas diferenças? Porque acreditamos que a etimologia não engana e que comunhão e comunidade são da mesma família, porque acreditamos que certas formas públicas de abraçarmos as diversas fatias da cultura são vitais para que essa mesma cultura possa sobreviver, o Festival ao Largo regressa na sua já 8ª edição.

  • Singing for Two: Experiencing Pregnancy As a Classical Singer
    Singing For Two: Experiencing Pregnancy as a Classical Singer by Catherine Marie Gardner A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts Faculty of Music University of Toronto © Copyright by Catherine Marie Gardner 2017 Singing for Two: The Experience of Pregnancy for the Classical Singer Catherine Gardner Doctor of Musical Arts Faculty of Music University of Toronto 2017 Abstract The purpose of this study was to understand more fully the experience of pregnancy for the classical singer. Though research has uncovered the physical implications of pregnancy for the non-singer, aspects which can impact the classical singer, such as breath mechanics, hormonal fluctuations, and the many other physical changes brought on by pregnancy, have not been fully investigated. My first objective was to find out how the physical aspects of pregnancy impact singers as they continue to perform through these changes. My second objective was to discover what the emotional implications of pregnancy are for the classical singer. Did emotional changes instigated by pregnancy occur that influenced the singer’s performance anxiety, routine and sense of self as a performer? My final objective was to investigate the social implications of pregnancy for the classical singer. How are pregnant classical singers viewed and treated within the performance realm? Is there support for singers who become pregnant? What are the implications for career trajectory and timing? !ii This study uses mixed methods to enhance and expand the range of information gathered. In- depth interviews were conducted on two pregnant and one recently pregnant classical singers.
