  • La Boheme Synopsis
    Giacomo Puccini’s La Bohème SYNOPSIS Act I In a garret apartment, Marcello is viewing his works while Rodolfo gazes out of the window. They are cold, and bored to death. The thought of burning Rodolfo’s manuscripts excites them; Rodolfo throws the pages on the floor and sets the fire. Colline enters and is intrigued by the situation. Then Schaunard arrives, showing off the cash he’s earned by doing away with a parrot for an English gentleman. The four bohemians decide to use the money to eat out. Suddenly, they hear a knock at the door. It is Benoit, the landlord, who’s come to collect the rent. Plying the older man with wine, they get him to reveal an embarrassing affair, then throw him out in mock indignation. Marcello, Colline and Schaunard set off for the Café Momus to celebrate, but Rodolfo remains alone in order to work. There is another knock. It is a neighbor, Mimì, in search of a light for her candle. She faints, and Rodolfo revives her and offers her some wine. He relights her candle, and she starts to leave, but then cries out that she has lost her key. The truth is that she wanted to meet Rodolfo. She is deathly ill and has decided to spend the last days of her life with him. Rodolfo and Mimì tell each other their stories (‘Che gelida manina’; ‘Mi chiamano Mimì’ ) and find they are falling in love. Outside, Rodolfo’s friends call him impatiently. Arm in arm, Mimì and Rodolfo leave for the café.

  • Music Director Riccardo Muti Begins 2015/16 Season with Celebration of Chicago Symphony Orchestra’S 125Th Anniversary
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contacts: September 3, 2015 Rachelle Roe, 312.294.3090 Eileen Chambers, 312.294.3092 Photos: [email protected] MUSIC DIRECTOR RICCARDO MUTI BEGINS 2015/16 SEASON WITH CELEBRATION OF CHICAGO SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA’S 125TH ANNIVERSARY September 17–October 3, 2015 Fall Residency Features Subscription Concerts, Free Concert for Chicago in Millennium Park, Symphony Ball Gala, and Appearances by Pianist Leif Ove Andsnes and Harpist Xavier de Maistre CHICAGO—Riccardo Muti’s sixth season as music director of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra (CSO) begins with a multi-faceted celebration as the CSO kicks off its 125th anniversary season in 2015/16. In 1891, Theodore Thomas took the stage to conduct the Orchestra’s first concert nearly 125 years ago. Thomas could scarcely have imagined that this great ensemble would not only flourish, but would live on long after him. As the Orchestra looks back at its distinguished history this season, its programs reflect the CSO’s heritage and legacy, with most weeks including at least one work that was given its world or U.S. premiere by the CSO. Many of these premieres featured the composer as conductor or soloist, and have since taken their place as cornerstones of the standard orchestral repertoire. CSO Concerts Muti leads a wide range of programs and events between September 17–October 3, 2015, beginning with the season’s first subscription concert at Symphony Center on Thursday, September 17, at 8 p.m., which includes Liszt’s symphonic poem, From the Cradle to the Grave, Mozart’s Symphony No. 40 and Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony.

  • Zur Rolle Von Giacomo Puccinis La Bohème in Norman Jewisons MOONSTRUCK Niclas Stockel (Mainz)
    Puccini und Romantic Comedy: Zur Rolle von Giacomo Puccinis La Bohème in Norman Jewisons MOONSTRUCK Niclas Stockel (Mainz) Abstract Unter den zahlreichen Filmproduktionen, die sich Inhalte und Musiken aus Opern zu eigen machen, nimmt der Film MOONSTRUCK (USA 1987, Norman Jewison) eine Sonderposition ein. Ohnehin fragliche Etiketten wie ›Opernfilm‹ und ›Filmoper‹ lassen sich hier nicht anwenden, denn MOONSTRUCK entzieht sich derlei Kategorisierungen: Giacomo Puccinis Oper La Bohème (1896) wird zwar explizit erwähnt, einzelne Aufführungsszenen werden ins Bild gesetzt und das Musikerlebnis einzelner Arien exponiert, doch entspinnt sich all das stets als ein Spiel mit verschiedenen Situationen und Sinnzusammenhängen der Opernhandlung. Interpretations- und Reflexionsräume werden durch den Film gerade da geöffnet, wo sich Analogien nicht so einfach ziehen lassen. Motive aus der Oper, seien sie personeller, emotionaler oder situativer Art, werden aus ihrem Kontext herausgelöst und in den neuen filmischen überführt, wodurch sich Bedeutungsverschiebungen ergeben – eine Verfahrensweise, die der Motivtechnik in der Opernmusik Puccinis ähnlich ist. La Bohème und MOONSTRUCK Etwa neunzig Jahre liegen zwischen den Uraufführungen beider Werke. In dieser Zeitspanne hat sich Puccinis Oper La Bohème zu einer der weltweit meistgespielten Opern entwickelt. Der Film MOONSTRUCK aus dem Jahr 1987 gesellt sich in gewisser Weise zu einer Reihe von zahlreichen Filmproduktionen, die seit Anbeginn der Filmgeschichte den Stoff aus La Kieler Beiträge zur Filmmusikforschung, 11, 2014 // 184 Bohème entweder schlicht adaptierten, deren Musik vereinzelt integrierten oder auf sonstige Art zu ihr Bezug nahmen. Hinsichtlich dieser Zuordnung kommt Norman Jewisons Film eine Sonderrolle zu. Der Film verweist gleich auf mehreren Ebenen auf die Oper, ohne jedoch allzu vordergründig deren Handlung zu adaptieren oder einen Großteil der Opernmusik als Filmmusik zu verwenden.

  • Vienna Bifold.Indd
    Festivals February 21–March 16, 2014 Featuring the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra and Vienna State Opera Music, Film, Art, Panel Discussions, and More Terry Linke Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra A glittering cultural jewel at the heart of Europe, Vienna has for centuries drawn artists, dreamers, and innovators from all corners of the continent to its dazzling intellectual and artistic life. With its famed art salons and co ee houses, Vienna supported a unique culture in which artists and scientists, fi rebrands and aesthetes, met and freely exchanged ideas. From this hothouse atmosphere emerged revolutionary breakthroughs in psychology, literature, art, and music, reverberating around Europe and indeed the world. Carnegie Hall salutes Vienna’s extraordinary artistic legacy with Vienna: City of Dreams, a three-week citywide festival that features symphonic and operatic masterpieces, chamber music, and lieder, as well as new sounds that are emerging from this historic cultural capital. The festival is bookended by seven concerts in Stern Auditorium / Perelman Stage by the renowned Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra and Vienna State Opera, led by esteemed conductors Franz Welser-Möst, Daniele Gatti, Andris Nelsons, and Zubin Mehta. The residency includes concert performances of both Alban Berg’s Wozzeck and Richard Strauss’s Salome, marking only the second time in their history that the Viennese musicians have performed opera in concert at Carnegie Hall. Other festival highlights include a Beethoven violin sonata cycle with Leonidas Kavakos and pianist Enrico Pace, Schubert’s great Die schöne Müllerin with baritone Matthias Goerne and pianist Christoph Eschenbach, a Discovery Day that focuses on Schubert’s fi nal years, and a Carnegie Hall–commissioned new work by Austrian composer Georg Friedrich Haas to be premiered by Ensemble ACJW.
