MAYOR GIULIANI ELECTEDTO HONORARY MEMBERSHIP IN AMERICAN GUILD OF MUSICAL A RTISTS, AFL-CIO When the curtain went up on the Metropolitan Opera's September 22nd World Trade Center Benefit Performance, Mayor Rudolph Giuliani stood center stage with Met General Manager Joseph Volpe and the eighty men and women who comprise the AGMA-represented Metropolitan Opera Chorus. Together, they sang the Star Spangled Banner to a sold-out audience of 4000, with all of the evening's proceeds going to benefit the survivors of the city's uniformed services who perished while helping others at the Trade Center. Honoring his role in the performance and his extraordinary leadership follow­ ing the World Trade center tragedy, the Board of Governors of the American Guild of Musical Artists, at its meeting of September 24, voted to elect Mayor Giuliani as an honorary member of AGMA. The Met also donated what would AGMA President Linda Mays with New York Mayor have been his per-performance fee to the WTC Relief Fund . Rudy Giuliani.

Scott Parry, Director MSM Opera Theatre productions are made possible by the Fan Fox and Leslie R. Samuels Foundation and the Joseph F.

Friday, February 12, 2021 | 4 PM MANHATTAN SCHOOL OF MUSIC OPERA THEATRE Tazewell Thompson, Director of Opera Studies presents Connection/Separation Featuring arias and scenes from Carmen, Così fan tutte, Die Zauberflöte, La clemenza di Tito, L’elisir d’amore, Le nozze di Figaro, Les pêcheurs de perles, and Lucio Silla A. Scott Parry, Director Myra Huang, Vocal Coach & Pianist Kristen Kemp, Vocal Coach & Pianist Megan P. G. Kolpin, Props Coordinator DIRECTOR’S NOTE In each of our lives—during this last year especially—we may have discovered ourselves in moments of wanting, even needing some sort of human connection, but instead finding separation by any number of barriers. In the arias and scenes that follow, we witness characters in just this kind of moment; searching for meaningful contact yet being somehow barred from achieving it. Through circumstance, distance, convention, misunderstanding, pride, fear, ego, or what have you, we may find ourselves in situations similar to the characters in this program, while looking forward to the days when connection can be more easily achieved and separation the exception to the rule.
