Edition 3 | 2018-2019 6 Message from the President Paul Helfrich, President & CEO of the Dayton Performing Arts Alliance Welcome to the Schuster Center and Dayton Opera’s presentation of Gilbert and Sullivan’s The Pirates of Penzance. We’re glad you’re here! I’m glad I’m here, as well, and Gilbert and Sullivan are probably responsible for that being the case. How, you ask? I date my interest in music to my mother’s participation in the chorus of a production of Gilbert and Sullivan’s H.M.S. Pinafore when I was in sixth grade. I had been taken to a rehearsal and was occupying myself with a book when I was asked if I would turn pages for the pianist. “I don’t read music,” I said. “Don’t worry, he’ll nod when he wants you to turn,” was the reply. So I did it, including the rest of the rehearsals and two performances. It was that experience, sitting next to a wonderful pianist with all that great music surrounding me, which led me to take up an instrument and pursue a life in the arts. It all started there. With that in mind, I always look forward to performances of Gilbert and Sullivan shows like this one. Much as I like Sullivan’s music, it’s probably the incredibly clever use of the English language by W.S. Gilbert that seals the deal for me. I’m also looking forward to Dayton Opera’s recently announced 2019–2020 season. The five performances it includes will offer the full range of operatic experiences. First, there’s the Season Opening Spectacular, produced as a stunning collaboration with Dayton Ballet and Dayton Philharmonic, in which the forces of these three magnificent art forms will join together to present Haydn’s Creation in a bold, groundbreaking style. Fully staged productions of Puccini’s beloved La bohème and Rossini’s operatic presentation of the classic fairy tale Cinderella (La Cenerentola) follow in November and February. In March 2020, next season’s Star Recital brings us a Metropolitan Opera star and protégé of Plácido Domingo, soprano Angel Blue. The season closes with a glorious tribute to the Baroque composers, who started the art form of opera as it is known today, with Going for Baroque! In addition to the Opera season, Dayton Ballet will offer a variety of innovative programs, including ballet versions of opera fan favorites Carmen and Madame Butterfly. The Philharmonic Masterworks season will celebrate Beethoven on the occasion of his 250th birthday, as well as recognizing our own Neal Gittleman for 25 years with the orchestra. There’s also a brand- new series of films live with orchestra, includingApollo 13, Raiders of the Lost Ark, and Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. Putting the new season together with my amazing colleagues is one of my favorite parts of the job. I invite you to pick up a brochure in the lobby and check out all that we have to offer. It is an honor indeed to work with our fantastic artists—singers, dancers, and orchestral musicians—in bringing such great performances to the community. If you have comments you wish to share or questions you wish to ask, please contact me at [email protected]. With my hearty greetings, Paul A. Helfrich 11 12 Message from the Board Chair John Beran, Chair, Dayton Performing Arts Alliance Board of Trustees Greetings Fellow DPAA Patrons, We are now into the middle third of our season, which will feature our wonderful Holiday performances such as The Nutcracker, Handel’s Messiah, Hometown Holiday, and John Denver Rocky Mountain Christmas. This made me stop and wonder how you may prepare to share the season with your family and friends. Will there be large gatherings, family traditions and extended travel? Will you reflect on the year past and look upon it with fondness and hope for the future? My hope is that everyone will welcome the Holidays with a spirit of joy and reflection and that you will look forward with excitement to the performances you will be attending through the winter months. As I mentioned in my last message, the Dayton Performing Arts Alliance completed a strategic plan with its vision to transform lives through the power of music and dance. After attending many of the DPAA performances since September, I hope you feel that what we have produced is fulfilling that vision. In addition, I want to share with you some of the remarkable work of the DPAA’s education programs. For the period from July 2017, through June 2018, the DPAA education programs served 74,000 students, covering 159 schools in 14 counties. The programming included our family concerts featuring Ballet, Opera and Philharmonic; Young People’s Concerts; the Dayton Philharmonic Youth Orchestra; the Dayton Ballet School; and the outreach facilitated by our Dayton Philharmonic Volunteer Association and Opera Guild. This level of educational programming is core to our purpose of being recognized as our community’s indispensable source for innovative experiences in the performing arts. For without engaging the youth of our community, what will be the future for arts programming in Dayton? So as you prepare to celebrate the Holidays and look ahead to the New Year, I ask that you reflect on the role each of us plays in keeping the performing arts a vibrant force for culture and education in the community. When you attend the performances and celebrate the artistry and magic of our Ballet, Opera and Philharmonic, please remember that together we all share in the responsibility to grow the performing arts for future generations. Thank you for making the performances of your Dayton Performing Arts Alliance a part of your Holiday (and beyond) celebrations. I hope they will remain and become for you a lasting tradition. 13 14 Thomas Bankston Artistic Director, Dayton Opera At the midpoint of the 58th season of Dayton Opera, our vista shifts from the drama of Verdi’s grand opera Rigoletto to operetta and perhaps two of its most famous purveyors of merriment, W. S. Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan. The Pirates of Penzance is one of their most beloved comic gems and has been a source of delight for audiences for almost 140 years (it premiered on December 30, 1879). It is chock-a-block with infectious melodies and lovable characters that put a smile on your face and have you humming its tunes as you leave the theatre. Our young and vivacious cast is being led by Dayton Opera’s resident master of all things Gilbert & Sullivan, Gary Briggle. His grasp and knowledge of the G&S style, both as singer and director, is truly amazing and is borne out in his two past Dayton Opera G&S outings and in this, his 20th production of Pirates! He is truly the “very model of a modern major G&S specialist.” The sunny and sparkling vista of The Pirates of Penzance is made possible only through our impressive roster of sponsors helping us continue our season. We begin with our Principal Sponsor for Pirates, the Opera Guild of Dayton, and our season-long DPAA Innovation Partner, the DP&L Foundation—Powering Innovation in the Performing Arts. Our Leadership Sponsors are Dr. Edward and Margaret Hughes First Dayton Cyberknife and The Bill and Jackie Lockwood Family Foundation, and Performance Sponsor is Crowne Plaza Dayton. Associate Sponsor support comes from 10 Wilmington Place and The Bob Ross Auto Group, Orchestral Music Provider is The Jesse and Caryl Philips Foundation, and Surtitle Provider is the Opera Guild of Dayton. It is with the greatest appreciation that we thank these valued supporters, without which The Pirates of Penzance would not be possible. There are two more exciting vistas to explore in the remainder of the Dayton Opera season: in March, our Star Recital with one of opera’s most exciting bass-baritones, Ryan Speedo Green, and then a thundering May masterpiece closer in Richard Strauss’s Salome. Those two finales of the season are not to be missed. In addition, subscriptions to our 2019–2020 Titans Season are now available, including the Season Opening Spectacular: Haydn’s Creation, Puccini’s La bohème, Rossini’s Cinderella, our Opera Star Recital with soprano Angel Blue, and closing with an exciting production exploring Baroque opera, Going for Baroque! Visit our subscription table in the lobby by the grand staircase and guarantee your seat for our season of Titans in 2019–2020! Thank you for being with us once again, and enjoy this ray of sunshine, The Pirates of Penzance! 15 THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE Music by Arthur S. Sullivan Libretto by William S.

Es war an einem heißen Junitag – die lähmende Stille einer hoch- sommerlichen Siesta lag über dem kleinen Städtchen, nur die Bienen summten emsig um die Linde und ja Giuseppe Verdi war allgegenwärtig, nicht nur in Stein gemeißelt, in Bronze gegossen, im Theater oder Museen, nein in der Luft, in der Wärme, der Stille, in jeder Ritze war sein Geist zu spüren, war seine Musik imaginär zu hören.(0‟45) Musik 1 Giuseppe Verdi: Ouvertüre zur Oper „Attila“ Wiener Philharmoniker / Giuseppe Sinopoli M0019983 003, 3‘25 Ouvertüre zu „Attila“, eine frühe Verdi Oper, die zweite, die er für Venedig geschrieben hat. Giuseppe Sinopoli leitete die Wiener Philharmoniker. In dem kleinen Dorf Le Roncole, das heute zu Busseto gehört, ist Verdi laut französisch-sprachiger Geburtsurkunde, am 10. Oktober 1813, abends um 8 Uhr zur Welt gekommen. Französisch deswegen, weil Busseto damals zum Departement Taro gehörte und damit direkt Frankreich angeschlossen 2 3 war. Vielleicht ist Verdi auch schon einen Tag zuvor geboren, am 9. Oktober, man weiß es nicht genau.

  • A PERSONAL EXPERIENCE of UNFOLDING SELF THROUGH SINGING Douglas Schneider, M.D
    Report A PERSONAL EXPERIENCE OF UNFOLDING SELF THROUGH SINGING Douglas Schneider, M.D. ABSTRACT The autonomic nervous system (ANS) is linked to the Unconscious, a relationship which has been therapeutically addressed with autogenic training, sometimes leading to transcendent experi­ ences. The ANS is also involved in stored traumatic experiences and must be addressed for the release of stored trauma. Bodily storage of trauma can also involve the vocal apparatus. This report briefly describes a pedagogy of singing that involves the ANS and that lead this writer into an unexpected transcendent experience of self. KEYWORDS: Autonomic nervous system, vocal, singing Subtle Energies 6- Energy Medicine • Volume 16 • Number 3 • Page 219 he autonomic nervous system (ANS), with its balanced sympathetic and parasympathic aspects, has become a fascinating topic for me ever T since encountering the work of Elmer and Alyce Green in autogenic trammg and intentional self-regulation of the ANS.l Their findings were counter to what I had learned in medical school, namely, that the ANS is unconscious and involuntary. Later I met Robert Scaer, M.D., and after reading his first book, came to appreciate the role of the ANS in stored traumatic experience. 2 Most recently I have learned of a relationship between the ANS and the act of singing, particularly a certain kind of singing, which was a surprise discovery for me this past spring. One of my interests is the study of singing. I work with a voice teacher named Richard Conrad who early in his career recorded with Joan Sutherland, Marilyn Horne, and Richard Bonynge.3 In mid-career Richard's voice was severely injured in a mugging incident.
