Bulletin Central Opera Service BULLETIN CENTRAL OPERA SERVICE sponsored by METROPOLITAN OPERA NATIONAL COUNCIL 147 West Thirty-ninth Street, New York 18, N.Y. Telephone: PEnnsylvania 6-1200 Nov/t)ecember 1963 NfiW OPERAS AND PREMIERES "TUB SOJOURNER AND MOLLIE SINCLAIR" is the title of a new one-act opera by Carlisle Floyd, commissioned by the North Carolina Charter Tercentenary Commission. The opera will receive its premiere on December 2 in Raleigh, N.C. as part of the state's tercentenary celebration. The East Carolina College will be responsible for the production which will feature guest artists Norman Treigle, Patricia Neway and conductor Julius Rudel. Mr. Floyd, a native of South Carolina, has written his own libretto for this drama comedy about an early Scottish settler in the Carolinas. Seymour Barab, composer and Assistant Professor of Music at Rutgers Newark College, will be the producer of his new work "THE RANSOM OF RED CHIEF" based on O.Henry's story of the same name. The production is made possible by a grant from the Rutgers University Research Council which stipulates that the musical theatre production must utilize experimental theatrical techniques. ******* On November 3 Alfred Neumann's new sacred opera "AN OPERA FOR EVERY- ONE" received its first performance at Christ Congregational Church in Silver Spring, Md. ******* Rimsky-Korsakov's "KASHCHEY BBSSMYERTNY", in its American premiere, will be performed by the Opera Theatre of Washington University, St. Louis, in April 1964. Harold Blumenfeld, Director of the opera department, will produce the 1 act, 3 scene opera, which he refers to as superb and fanciful, under the title of "KASCHEY, THE INFERNAL It will be preceded by Milhaud's "Opera-Minutes". ******* Douglas Moore's opera "THE WINGS OF THE DOVE" is now available in piano vocal score, published by G. Schirmer. INDEX --- PAGE 10 -2- NEW OPERA COMPANIES Until this Fall the opera performances in Seattle were under the auspices of the Seattle Symphony Orchestra. With the completion of the new auditorium-opera house for the Seattle Fair last year and the venturesome and successful production of'Aida", presented at the Fair, an independent opera company is the natural develop- ment. Milton Katims, the orchestra's conductor, will be musical director of the SEATTLE OPERA ASSOCIATION and many civic leaders and associates of the National Council are taking active interest in the new company. Mr. Albert 0. Foster of Foster and Marshall has been elected President of the new organization, Mr. John Bolton of Northwestern Mutual Insurance Co., Mr. Sherman Huffine of Olym- pia Brewing Co. and Mrs. David Skinner share in the responsibilities of Vice President, and Mrs. J. Elroy McCaw is the Secretary. ******* TH2 STATE SYMPHONY-OPERA ASSOCIATION OF FLORIDA is an outgrowth of Florida State University's School of Music (symphonic and operatic departments) and the state's own interest in its artistic development Dr. Karl Kuerstein, Dean of the School of Music and Chairman of the Executive Committee of this new organization announced that Dr. Richard Collins will be the Opera Director and Robert Sedore will be the symphony conductor. Both artists are directors of the respective music departments at the University. For its first season the opera group will perform at the State University in Tallahassee and tour part of Florida (see perf. listing), and the symphony orchestra will give two concerts at the University. ******* A new opera company was started in Roslyn Harbor, N.Y. THE MAIMONE OPERA COMPANY, named after its Director, Joseph Maimone, plans to bring opera to Roslyn, Glen Cove and neighbouring communities on Long Island, playing in school auditoriums. Mr. Maimone, a baritone who has sung in New York and participated in various operatic tours throughout the country will stage the performances. Schedules will be published as soon as received. ******* An announcement of the formation, aims, and purpose of the METROPO- LITAN OPERA NATIONAL COMPANY was mailed to all COS members on October 14 with an accompanying letter by Mr. Anthony A. Bliss. The National Company, with headquarters in New York, is sponsored by the Metropolitan Opera Assn. and the National Cultural Center and will start touring in the Fall of 1965. COS BULLETIN, 11-12/63 -3- QPERA USA, 1962-63 SEASON OPERA NEWS again has published its annual survey of the Operatic State of the Union and has graciously consented to a reprint of its findings in the COS BULLETIN. Opera Producing Companies 795 College Workshops Included in Above 240 Total Listed Performances 4,606 Total Number of Operas Performed 303 Contemporary Operas (incl. above) 158 In 1,936 performances Standard Operas (incl. above) 136 In 2,340 performances Gilbert & Sullivan (incl. above) 9 In 330 performances All these figures are slightly above last year's; however, the increase in quality outweighs the one in quantity this year. Many more companies ,c:et themselves higher professional standards, more performances were done with orchestras, versus piano accompani- ment, than in previous years. The most frequently performed opera is still Amahl (301), followed by Cosi (136), Traviata (131), Barber (117), Down in the Valley (104) and Butterfly (97). While at statistics, we might mention that performances of Don Giovanni were up 100% against last year, Carmen 50% and Faust 35%. Speak- ing of attendance in Duluth and Fort Lauderdale, Frank Merkling, Editor of Opera News, closes his survey with a provocative thought: "In both these cities, the ratio of audience to population is about the same-between 3 and 4 percent. Can it be applied more widely? Are there 280,000 potential opera patrons in New York City, and 6,300,000 in the U.S.?" ******* World Premieres and American Premieres of the 1962-63 season were listed in a Central Opera Service survey in the last issue of the Bulletin. (The performance of Verdi's "La Battaglia di Legnano", cancelled because of the New York newspaper strike, was erroneously included among American Premieres.) FOUNDATIONS AMMOliNCS EXPANDED PROGRAMS The FORD FOUNDATION'S Program in the Humanities and the Arts has announced a grant totaling $1,727,625 to be distributed among 13 opera companies, spread over a period of five years. The four largest opera companies in the U.S. , the Metropolitan Opera, N.Y. City Opera, San Francisco Opera, and Chicago Lyric, are not included in this plan since they are the recipients of a Ford grant which is still in force, sponsoring up to 18 premieres of operas by American composers. The companies included in the new plan are: Symphony Society of San Antonio, Opera Society of Wash., D.C., Central City (Colo.) Opera, Santa Fe Opera Co., Houston Grand Opera Assn., COS BULLETIN, 11-12/63 -4- New Orleans Opera Assn., Spring Opera of San Francisco, Baltimore Civic Opera, Chautauqua (NY) Opera Assn., Cincinnati Summer Opera Assn., Port Worth Opera Assn., Opera Guild of Greater Miami, and Kansas City Lyric Theatre (the companies are listed in order of the amounts of money to be received). Mr. McNeil Lowry, director of the program, stated that it is hoped that this financial assistance will give added opportunities to singers, conductors, directors, musi- cians and other opera professionals, that it will extend seasons in some cases, mean new productions and added performances in others and that it will encourage and facilitate more venturesome program- ing for all. "The foundation expects each recipient of the grant to achieve financial ability during the term of the grant, based on local support amounting to 75 per cent of capacity attendance." (NY Times, 10/16/63) ******* Two of this country's major Foundations announced simultaneously that they will conduct studies and surveys in the arts. John D. Rockefeller III, chairman of the ROCKEFELLER BROTHERS' FUND Arts Panel, and August Heckscher, Director of the TWENTIETH CENTURY FUND explained the purpose and functions of their respective studies while pointing out that they will work in close liaison. The first mentioned organization will focus its studies on the development and support of performing arts institutions and suggest possible solutions of the principal problems. It has set up a panel of ex- perts to study papers on music, opera, dance, and theatre as well as reports on federal, state, county and municipal government pro- grams on the arts. The study is to be completed in the Spring or early Fall of 1964. - The Twentieth Century Fund's survey, directed by Professors Baumol and Bowen of Princeton University's Department of Economics, will make an extensive analysis of all economic factors in the different fields of the arts, i.e. costs, attendance, box-office receipts, and private and government contributions. This survey is to be completed within two years. ******* At a recent discussion of the Arts, Mr. Lowry of the Ford Foundation stated that few people realize that the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT is by far the greatest financial supporter of the Arts in the U.S. today, through its present tax laws, tax-free donations, tax-exempt or- ganizations and rules on inheritance taxes and foundations. ******* From Dallas comes the announcement of the formation of a COMMUNITY ARTS FUND under the leadership of Robert Kepke. Support has been pledged to the Dallas Grand Opera Assn., the Dallas Civic Opera Co., Dallas Symphony Society, Dallas Summer Musicals, and Dallas Theatre Center. So far the new organization has been able to eliminate all of last year's deficits and is now in the process of financing the current season. COS BULLETIN, 11-12/63 -5- PUND-RAISING ACTIVITIES One of the greatest Gala affairs met with tremendous success in San Francisco this season. The Opera Guild's ball was held at the Kezar Pavilion, called FOL-DE-ROL CIRCUS.

    November 10, 2020 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: James Cassidy (859) 431-6216 [email protected] L’Opera Famiglia (Two couples, great arias) 7:30 p.m. November 21, 2020 St. Peter in Chains Cathedral Basilica 8th and Plum Cincinnati, OH The Kentucky Symphony Orchestra continues its 29th season of in-person performances and live streaming with an evening of operatic and sacred arias. The KSO, over the last 20 seasons, has offered audiences complete concert operas — Tosca, Otello, La Boheme, Rigoletto, Samson & Delilah and Turandot. These productions featured a number of internationally recognized singers, many with local ties (CCM and the Cincinnati Opera). Four of these artists return as two couples for L’Opera Famiglia on November 21 at the Cathedral Basilica of St. Peter in Chains. Mezzo soprano Stacey Rishoi appeared in a KSO “Sopranos” evening and as Delilah (Samson & Delilah). Her husband Gustav Andreassen (bass) sang the role of Sparafucille (Rigoletto). Stacey and Gus when not on the road reside Bellevue, KY. Stuart Neill KSO at St. Peter in Chains Cathedral Feb. 23, 2020 (tenor) and Sandra Lopez (soprano) met as Rodolfo and Mimi in the KSO’s 2007 production of La Boheme. They were married a couple years later and live in Miami. “As with any team sport or artistic collaboration, cast chemistry is vital for success. We were fortunate for the stars to align to find these wonderful performers available this week,” commented KSO music director, James Cassidy. Those who don’t think that opera is their cup of tea, might be surprised to find many of the selections on the program very familiar to a universal audience (see below).

The recordings in this series date from the mid-1940s through the late 1950s, and will feature several which have never before appeared on CD, as well as some that have not been available in MENOTTI any form in nearly half a century. The present recording of The Consul, which makes its CD début here, was made a month after the work’s (1911– 2007) Philadelphia première. American Decca was at the time primarily a “pop” label, the home of Bing Crosby and Judy Garland, and did not yet have much experience in the area of Classical music. Indeed, this recording seems to have been done more because of the work’s critical acclaim on the Broadway stage than as an opera, since Decca had The Consul also recorded Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman with members of the original cast around the same time.
