  • Seattle Opera Announces 2021/22 Season— a Return to Live, In-Person Performances
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: May 11, 2021 Contact: Gabrielle Gainor (206) 295-0998, [email protected] Press images: https://seattleopera.smugmug.com/2122 Password: “press” Seattle Opera announces 2021/22 season— a return to live, in-person performances La bohème Orpheus and Eurydice Blue The Marriage of Figaro Plus a special recital by Lawrence Brownlee McCaw Hall and The Opera Center Subscriptions begin at $240 (BRAVO! Club, senior, and student pricing is also available). Single tickets will go on sale closer to each production. seattleopera.org SEATTLE—After more than a year without live, in-person performances due to COVID-19, Seattle Opera will officially return to the theater this fall with its 2021/22 Season. Offerings include immortal favorites (La bohème, The Marriage of Figaro), historic works with a modern twist (Orpheus and Eurydice), plus an award-winning piece speaking to racial injustice in America (Blue). It will take years for Seattle Opera—and the arts sector as a whole—to recover from the pandemic’s economic impact. Feeling the presence and excitement of live performance again is one way that the healing can begin, said General Director Christina Scheppelmann. “The theater, where music, storytelling, lights, performers, and audiences meet, is a space of magic and impact,” Scheppelmann said. “This past year has been difficult and challenging on so many levels. As we process all that we’ve been through, we can come here to enjoy ourselves. We can rediscover the positive moment and outlook we are seeking. Through opera, we can reconnect with our deepest emotions and our shared humanity.” In addition to mainstage productions, the company will offer a special, one-night- only recital by tenor Lawrence Brownlee (April 29, 2022, at McCaw Hall) with pianist John Keene.

I examine how song and dance – sites of aesthetic difference within the musical – can warp time and enable marginalized and semi-marginalized fans to imagine different ways of being in the world. Musical numbers can complicate a linear, developmental plot by accelerating and decelerating time, foregrounding repetition and circularity, bringing the past to life and projecting into the future, and physicalizing dreams in a narratively open present. These excesses have the potential to contest naturalized constructions of historical, progressive time, as well as concordant constructions of gender, sexual, and racial identities. While the musical has historically been a rich source of identification for the stereotypical white gay male show queen, this project validates a broad and flexible range of non-normative readings.

    Wuthering Heights Artist Biographies Jesse Blumberg (Mr. Lockwood) Baritone Jesse Blumberg is an artist equally at home on opera, concert, and recital stages. Last season, he performed the role of the Celebrant in Bernstein's Mass at London's Royal Festival Hall under the baton of Marin Alsop, debuted with Boston Lyric Opera as Harlekin in Ariadne auf Naxos, and performed recitals in Paris with the Mirror Visions Ensemble. In 2007, he created the role of Connie Rivers in The Grapes of Wrath (recorded by P.S. Classics) at the Minnesota Opera, and later made his Utah and Pittsburgh Opera debuts in the same production. Other recent appearances include leading and featured roles with Annapolis Opera, Opera Delaware, Opera Vivente and the Boston Early Music Festival. In concert, Jesse has been a featured soloist with American Bach Soloists, Los Angeles Master Chorale, Sacred Music in a Sacred Space and the Berkshire Choral Festival. He has also given the world premieres of two important chamber works: Ricky Ian Gordon's Green Sneakers (recorded by Blue Griffin Recording) and Lisa Bielawa's The Lay of the Love and Death, the former at the Vail Valley Music Festival, and the latter at Alice Tully Hall. He has toured with the Mark Morris Dance Group and the Waverly Consort, and given recitals for the Marilyn Horne Foundation. Last season, he and pianist Martin Katz performed Schubert's two monumental song cycles, Die schöne Müllerin and Winterreise, over one weekend in Ann Arbor, and will soon repeat this pairing in New York City. Jesse has been recognized in many song and opera competitions, and in 2008 was awarded Third Prize at the International Robert Schumann Competition in Zwickau, becoming its first American prizewinner in over thirty years.

  • Joseph Schmidt (1904-2004)
    Joseph Schmidt (1904-2004) Jan Neckers 21 September 2004 This is not a biography of the Jewish tenor. Just some personal thoughts on a few interesting aspects. Those interested in a biographical article and an outstanding discography better purchase the June 2000 issue of The Record Collector where your servant and Hansfried Sieben devoted more than sixty small print pages to the tenor. Those able to read German can still buy Alfred Fasbind’s biography published at the Schweizer Verlagshaus in Zurich¨ 1992. It is still available in some German bookshops and maybe with the author himself (Rosenbergstrasse 16, 8630 Ruti,¨ Switzerland). So, what can I tell you that’s not in the article? Well, it is a pity Schmidt was not a Brit or an American or even a Frenchman. Nobody reading his biography can fail to muse on the many ordeals he lived through in his short life. (though of course he was not alone in this as millions of those unlucky generations born in Europe around 1900 would share his fate). And nobody reading it can fail to recognize an outstanding script for a magnificent movie or an outstanding series in the best Forsythe-tradition. Yes, the Germans produced a movie in 1958 which used the tenor’s singing voice but it belongs in the category ‘ought to be seen to be believed’. The makers succeeded in eliminating Schmidt’s personal tragedy completely as the actor playing the tenor measured at least some 35 centimetres more than the very small singer. (Forget the usual measure given of 1.55 m which is still 5 feet.
