  • The Blake Collection in Memory of Nancy M
    The Blake Collection In Memory of Nancy M. Blake BELLINI’S NORMA featuring CECILIA BARTOLI This tragic opera is set in Roman-occupied, first-century Gaul, features a title character, who although a Druid priestess, is in many ways a modern woman. Norma has secretly taken the Roman proconsul Pollione as her lover and had two children with him. Political and personal crises arise when the locals turn against the occupiers and Pollione turns to a new paramour. Norma “is a role with emotions ranging from haughty and demanding, to desperately passionate, to vengeful and defiant. And the singer must convey all of this while confronting some of the most vocally challenging music ever composed. And if that weren't intimidating enough for any singer, Norma and its composer have become almost synonymous with the specific and notoriously torturous style of opera known as bel canto — literally, ‘beautiful singing’” (“Love Among the Druids: Bellini's Norma,” NPR World of Opera, May 16, 2008). And Bartoli, one of the greatest living opera divas, is up to the challenges the role brings. (New York Public Radio’s WQXR’s “OperaVore” declared that “Bartoli is Fierce and Mercurial in Bellini's Norma,” Marion Lignana Rosenberg, June 09, 2013.) If you’re already a fan of this opera, you’ve no doubt heard a recording spotlighting the great soprano Maria Callas (and we have such a recording, too), but as the notes with the Bartoli recording point out, “The role of Norma was written for Giuditta Pasta, who sang what today’s listeners would consider to be mezzo-soprano roles,” making Bartoli more appropriate than Callas as Norma.

  • Composing for Classical Voice Voice Types/Fach System
    Composing for Classical Voice Alexandra Smither A healthy relationship between composer and singer is essential for the creation of new song. Like all good relationships, communication is key. Through this brief talk, I hope to give you some tools, some language you can use as common ground when working together. Remember, we are all individuals with insecurities and vulnerabilities and our art made together should lean on strengths. Being in the room with someone means they are making themselves available to you: this goes both ways, so do what you can to elevate them in the way that they see fit. Composers, remember that to be a singer is to be an athlete. If we are protective of our ​ voices, it’s because we are only given one and it is very delicate. Additionally, the opera world is not kind. Many singers are constantly dealing with rejection and commentary, not just on how they sound, but on how they look and who they are. Remember this, be compassionate, choose your words wisely and kindly. Your singer will appreciate it and will sing all the better for it. Singers, take the time to think about your voice and singing. What do you love to sing? ​ What sounds do you like, even outside singing? How does your voice work? Share this information joyfully and without shame - the music being written will reflect it more the more you talk about it. Be willing to try things in ways that are healthy and sustainable for your body. Embrace your individual identity as singer, person, and artist.
