AUSTIN OPERA 2018-19 SEASON 3 WELCOME Welcome to the launch of Opera ATX–Austin Opera’s new production initiative taking opera beyond the walls of our home at the Long Center to iconic locations throughout Austin� With Opera ATX we expand our offerings to include innovative and unexpected operatic experiences designed to meet the demand of our adventurous loyalists and to invite new Austinites to experience our incredible art form� I first encountered composer David T� Little in Philadelphia (my former operatic home) where he was one of our inaugural Composers in Residence� We presented scenes from one of his first operas, Dog Days, and I spent the entire performance on the edge of my seat with my jaw in my lap� The Los Angeles Times recently described David as an artist “who goes for the gut,” and I couldn’t agree more� The range and versatility of his music is remarkable, but his ability to connect with the most primal elements of our shared humanity is what makes his work extraordinary� The launch of Opera ATX is an enormous undertaking for the Austin Opera team, and I’m extremely grateful to my colleagues for the dedication, grit, and ingenuity they bring to the office every day� Special thanks go to our Director of Artistic Operations, Nathan DePoint, who has served as champion and mastermind of this initiative, and Director of Production Vince Herod, whose creativity and commitment make it all possible� We wouldn’t be here this evening without six local philanthropists who made significant investments to transform Opera ATX from an idea to a reality–Patrick and Judy Cantilo, Ken and Paula Smith, and Jeff and Gail Kodosky� Their underwriting support of this initiative–agreed to more than a year ago–made tonight’s performance possible� Thank you so much for joining us!

Little PRODUCTION SPONSORS Judy and Patrick Cantilo Ken and Paula Smith Jeff and Gail Kodosky Thom Brooks WINE & SPIRIT SPONSOR MEDIA SPONSOR HOSPITALITY SPONSOR AUSTIN OPERA IS A MEMBER OF OPERA AMERICA, INC. 6 AUSTIN OPERA austinopera.org COMPOSER’S NOTE In 2004 I was invited to a career day at my former high school to speak with students about being a composer� I shared the stage with an old friend, Justen Bennett, who had just returned from Iraq, where he had been a field medic and had been among those who stormed Saddam Hussein’s palace� The contrast between Justen’s job and mine was striking� Exiting the auditorium, I saw a display case, which I remembered the school using to celebrate student achievements: a victory for the football team or marching band, or photos from the musical that had happened the previous week� Now it showed photos of soldiers: alumni currently serving in Iraq and Afghanistan, driving tanks and carrying machine guns� Here, in the same case where their prom photos might have been only a few years prior� I remembered our days together in class, debating the ethics of Vietnam or the Gulf War� I reflected upon my attitude at the time: the simplistic view of an adolescent, that war was always wrong� I just didn’t understand why someone would enlist� But here, a decade later, my friends were defusing land mines in Iraq� I considered my own family� My generation was the first in nearly a century not to serve in the military� My uncles were in Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos� My grandfathers were both in World War II, and my great-grandfather was in WWI� My third great-grandfather was killed in Tennessee fighting for the Union� In a way, I had descended from this thing I had previously dismissed� Cracks began to form in my absolutist position, and questions began to arise� To find my own answers, I called family and friends who had served—and who were not on active duty at the time—and asked them to speak with me about their experience� It was from their stories that Soldier Songs began to emerge� Our recorded conversations feature prominently both as the basis for the libretto, and in the electronic component of the score� What struck me most was that, in nearly every conversation, it was the first time the veterans had shared their experience, even though some had left active duty decades ago� “I’ve never talked about this with anybody” became a common refrain� This became central to the piece—what, for me, this piece is about: the difficulty or impossibility of the telling� I am often asked if Soldier Songs is an anti-war piece, but it’s not that simple� I never intended for it to prove a point, or even to deliver a specific message� I selected and edited these conversations more as a way of sharing than as a way of convincing� I hope that Soldier Songs conveys what I gained by writing it: recognition of the soldier’s plight and a due measure of compassion� AUSTIN OPERA 2018-19 SEASON 7 OPERA ATX: THE ORIGIN STORY Tonight’s performance is the first in Austin Opera’s new series Opera ATX� The development of Opera ATX has been a lot like Austin itself—quirky, fast-paced, innovative, and fueled by many a brainstorm session over tacos� When General Director & CEO Annie Burridge arrived at Austin Opera in 2016, she had a vision for bringing new and different kinds of works to Austin� Influenced by her time at Opera Philadelphia—one of the American opera companies at the vanguard of producing new operas in new spaces—Burridge knew she wanted to unlock Austin Opera’s creative potential� “One of the things that most intrigued me about Austin Opera was its possibility for growth,” she says� “The company was in such a unique position to engage in new ways with the fascinating demographics of Austin, and that excited me�” After settling in to Austin life and building out her team, including the key hire of Nathan DePoint as Director of Artistic Operations, Burridge channeled that excitement and led the organization through a methodical process of strategic planning to see if her vision would align with the company’s history and mission—and with the needs and desires of Austin’s audiences� “Austin is such a fabulously diverse city, and we really wanted to harness its roots in live music, its burgeoning tech industry, and its creative spirit,” says Burridge� Overlaying her background in data-driven market research with the results of the new strategic planning process, her team found a perfect match of mission and audience, and Opera ATX was born� The goal of Opera ATX is to stretch the boundaries of what audiences

  • ROBERT WILSON / PHILIP GLASS LANDMARK EINSTEIN on the BEACH BEGINS YEARLONG INTERNATIONAL TOUR First Fully Staged Production in 20 Years of the Rarely Performed Work
    For Immediate Release March 13, 2012 ROBERT WILSON / PHILIP GLASS LANDMARK EINSTEIN ON THE BEACH BEGINS YEARLONG INTERNATIONAL TOUR First Fully Staged Production in 20 Years of the Rarely Performed Work Einstein on the Beach 2012-13 trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZ5hTfDzU9A&feature=player_embedded#! The Robert Wilson/Philip Glass collaboration Einstein on the Beach, An Opera in Four Acts is widely recognized as one of the greatest artistic achievements of the 20th century. Although every performance of the work has attracted a sold-out audience, and the music has been recorded and released, few people have actually experienced Einstein live. An entirely new generation—and numerous cities where the work has never been presented—will have the opportunity during the 2012-2013 international tour. The revival, helmed by Wilson and Glass along with choreographer Lucinda Childs, marks the first full production in 20 years. Aside from New York, Einstein on the Beach has never been seen in any of the cities currently on the tour, which comprises nine stops on four continents. • Opéra et Orchestre National de Montpellier Languedoc-Roussillon presents the world premiere at the Opera Berlioz Le Corum March 16—18, 2012. • Fondazione I TEATRI di Reggio Emilia in collaboration with Change Performing Arts will present performances on March 24 & 25 at Teatro Valli. • From May 4—13, 2012, the Barbican will present the first-ever UK performances of the work in conjunction with the Cultural Olympiad and London 2012 Festival. • The North American premiere, June 8—10, 2012 at the Sony Centre for the Performing Arts, as part of the Luminato, Toronto Festival of Arts and Creativity, represents the first presentation in Canada.

  • Opera SAN JOSÉ
    2018 | 2019 SEASON Opera SAN JOSÉ Celebrating 35 YEARS of Excellence Message from General Director Larry Hancock I suspect that it is impossible to say in few words what Melville’s Moby- Dick is about. It seems to be about everything. It may be doubtful that anyone can say precisely what any great work of literature is about. In Search of Lost Time, War and Peace, Middlemarch, Great Expectations, Moby-Dick…The words string along, leading into deeper knowledge page after page, clearer understanding character by character, so that after 800 pages of, say, Middlemarch, you put the book down and know…what? That humanity is…what? That life is lived… how? By whom? But you know you’ve learned something. The search for a more concise meaning is a bit easier after epic literature has been put in the crucible of opera and rendered. Opera, using music, with its layered emotions, penetrates instantaneously on many levels and at once. The sounding of a single chord can convey a whole page of description. Composer Jake Heggie and librettist Gene Scheer have distilled Melville’s epic from 24 hours and 38 minutes (the duration of the audiobook) to three hours of music. Anything that is not essential to the narrative, and a great portion of Melville’s revolutionary novel is not narrative, has been set aside, and as a stage doesn’t provide scene changes by beginning new paragraphs, some words that were spoken in different times and other places have been moved into the here and now, and realizations in the novel that emerge only after long introspective monologues are expressed in a flash, expanded in meaning by an entire orchestra.

  • Analyzing Gender Inequality in Contemporary Opera
    ANALYZING GENDER INEQUALITY IN CONTEMPORARY OPERA Hillary LaBonte A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS August 2019 Committee: Jane Schoonmaker Rodgers, Advisor Kristen Rudisill Graduate Faculty Representative Kevin Bylsma Ryan Ebright Emily Pence Brown © 2019 Hillary LaBonte All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Jane Schoonmaker Rodgers, Advisor Gender inequality is pervasive in the world of performing arts. There are far more female dancers, actresses, and singers than there are male performers. This inequality is amplified by fewer numbers of roles for women. This document examines gender inequality in contemporary North American operas, including the various factors that can influence the gender balance of a cast, with focused studies on commissioning organizations and ten works that feature predominantly female casts. Chapter 1 presents the analysis of all operas in OPERA America’s North American Works database written and premiered from 1995 to the present. Of the 4,216 roles in this data, 1,842 (43.6%) are for female singers. Operas written by a female composer or librettist have 48% roles for female singers, operas with a female lead character have 51%, and intentionally feminist or female-focused operas have 53% roles for female singers. Chapter 2 considers ten companies devoted to the creation and production of contemporary opera in North America. Works premiered by these companies have an average of 47% roles for women, and companies with a female executive or founder are more likely to have a higher average. Companies that use language like “innovative” or “adventurous” in their mission statement are more likely to have greater female representation in the casts of their commissioned works.
