  • Houston Grand Opera Unveils Enchanting New Production of Hansel and Gretel by Renowned Puppeteer Basil Twist
    Houston Grand Opera Unveils Enchanting New Production of Hansel and Gretel by Renowned Puppeteer Basil Twist Perfect Holiday Treat for the Whole Family Opens December 1, 2006 Houston, TX (October 5, 2006) – This holiday season, Houston Grand Opera (HGO) stages a spectacular new production of Humperdinck’s beloved fairy tale opera Hansel and Gretel featuring artists from the HGO Studio and members of the HGO Orchestra and Children’s Chorus. Eleven public performances, December 1 – 23, will offer ample opportunities for Houstonians to enjoy this holiday treat. The Production is directed and designed by America’s premier puppeteer Basil Twist, whose works have dazzled audiences across the continent (New York, Washington D.C., San Francisco, and Montreal) and in Europe (France, London and Munich). Called “true magic” by the New York Times, Twist’s work fuses music and puppetry into spellbinding theatrical experiences. His largest puppet for Hansel and Gretel will be a giant witch built by the Jim Henson Company, and Twist will build the remaining puppets himself, including several marionettes and bunraku puppets. Hansel and Gretel showcases artists from the internationally acclaimed HGO Studio, one of the world’s finest programs for opera’s future stars. Irish mezzo-soprano Fiona Murphy and American soprano Rebekah Camm star as the brother and sister who get lost in the woods and are captured by the Witch, sung by American baritone Liam Bonner. American soprano Jennifer Root and American bass-baritone Ryan McKinny sing the Mother and Father, and Russian soprano Albina Shagimuratova sings the Sandman and the Dew Fairy. Russian mezzo-soprano Maria Markina and American Soprano Alicia Gianni will sing the title roles for three performances, plus a student matinee.

  • Performing Arts Industry a Look Back, a Peek Ahead in the Introduction Whew
    December 2012 THE YEAR PERFORMING ARTS INDUSTRY A Look Back, A Peek Ahead in the Introduction Whew. What a year. One orchestra emerges from bankruptcy while others struggle to function within outdated models; one hugely expensive Ring cycle is declared the disaster of the century, while another far less pricey one triumphs. Music’s efficacy as more than just food for the soul is proven by a neuroscientist using pitch and rhythm to help an autistic child speak for the first time. El Sistema spreads like the best of wildfires to turn an entire generation of disadvantaged youngsters into mini virtuosos and confident, up-standing CONTENTS citizens. Our Year in the Performing Arts Industry actually covers about 16 months—from 2 Introduction the beginning of the 2011–12 season up through the end of November 2012. Nancy Malitz touches on the major News Milestones (some of which are 4 2012 Newsmaker mentioned above), while Wynne Delacoma canvases music critics in each of the Damian Woetzel major markets to discover some Truly Inspired Ideas your colleagues have come up with. My personal favorite is the St. Louis Symphony’s hook-up with the St. 5 2012 News Milestones Louis Cardinals, complete with Music Director David Robertson and the orchestra prominently displayed in a video on the ball field’s huge scoreboard playing Meet Me in St. Louis. 12 2012 Newsmaker Francesca Zambello Four newsmakers get special attention: Peter Gelb and Francesca Zambello from the realm of opera; Damian Woetzel, retired ballet principal turned international 13 2012’s Ten Truly Inspired Ideas dance impresario; and John Smith, head of both the Musicians Union and the Federation of Entertainment Unions in the U.K.
