To celebrate Mr. Ozawa's twenty-fifth anniversary as music director, the BSO Archives has mounted an exhib- it in the Cohen Wing display cases examining and illustrating not only many highlights of his tenure with the BSO, but also his education and early life, his experiences as a student at Tanglewood, and his appointment as the orchestra's thirteenth music director. In addition to items preserved in the BSO Archives, the exhibit also draws on materials lent by the Ozawa family. Programs copyright ©1999 Boston Symphony Orchestra, Inc.

    PRESSQUOTES Owen Gilhooly BARITONE Valentin / Faust / Everyman Theatre & Cork Operatic Society / March 2015 Cond. & Dir. John O’Brien “A wealth of duets, trios and quartets endorses the magic of the classic tradition, a genre well suited to Owen Gilhooly’s fine Valentin” (The Irish Times) Bridegroom, Husband, Father / The Vanishing Bridegroom / NMC Recordings Ltd / 2014 Cond, Martyn Brabbins / BBC Symphony Orchestra “Mr. Gilhooly is unbothered by the difficulty of his music, and his ringing, masculine tone gives the solo singing a firm, bronzed core.” (Voix des Arts) R (Robert) / Through his Teeth / Royal Opera House / 2014 Cond. Sian Edwards / Dir. Bijan Sheibani “‘R’, played with wonderfully irresistible confidence by Owen Gilhooly” (Opera / Hugo Shirley) “Owen Gilhooly plays the devious R with chilling precision – one moment kind and loving, and the next a scheming monster. His opening scene (scene two of the work) is fairly high in the voice, and Gilhooly displays a full range of dynamics, even in this part of the voice. He very effectively plays the part of a man who is playing a part – something which is never easy.” (Bachtrack / Levi White) “As R, baritone Owen Gilhooly, making his Royal Opera debut, looks the part and sounds it as well; his voice has all the requisite heft.” (Seen & Heard International / Colin Clarke) “Owen Gilhooly manages to combine sexual allure with fanaticism to chilling effect” (WhatsOnStage / Keith McDonnell) “Anna Devin as the deluded A, Owen Gilhooly as the mendacious R, and Victoria Simmonds, doubling
