Edgar & Louise S. Monroe Library, Loyola University New Orleans Title New Orleans Opera Association Archives Date 1916-2015, bulk 1943-2015 Extent 99 boxes Name of Creator New Orleans Opera Association Administrative/Biographical History The first documented opera staged in New Orleans was Ernest Grétry's Sylvain, performed in 1796. New Orleans has staged operas on almost a yearly basis ever since. The New Orleans Opera Association (NOOA), one of the oldest continually performing opera companies in the country, was formed in 1943, and began performing at the New Orleans Municipal Auditorium that fall. NOOA performers include not only local singers, many of whom went on to illustrious careers (Norman Treigle, Charles Anthony, Audrey Schuh, and Anthony Laciura being just a few), but also internationally recognized performers from around the world such as Dame Joan Sutherland, Beverly Sills, Plácido Domingo, Birgit Nilsson, Richard Tucker, and many others. Due to its French heritage, NOOA has a history of performing rare French operas largely unperformed elsewhere in the United States in addition to performances of standard repertoire and world premieres. Almost from its inception in 1943 NOOA staged its regular season in the Municipal Auditorium. Since midway through the 1972/73 season, the company has performed at the Theatre of Performing Arts (now the Mahalia Jackson Theater for the Performing Arts) adjacent to the old Auditorium in Louis Armstrong Park. 4 In 1956 NOOA launched the Experimental Opera Theatre of America (EOTA), a program for developing and training young singers, and it continued from 1958 to 1960. The NOOA Women’s Guild was formed in 1947 to promote and support NOOA. One of the many events produced by the Women’s Guild is the annual Opera Ball, a fundraising event that includes an auction. Since 1966 the Guild has also operated the Opera Guild Home, a Garden District mansion whose event rental profits benefit NOOA. In 1998 former New Orleans Opera General Director Arthur Cosenza created the MetroPelican Opera, an education and outreach touring ensemble. MetroPelican artists, as the name implies, have performed throughout “Metro” New Orleans and the “Pelican” State in a variety of repertoire. For many years the Association maintained its own studios for the construction and storage of props and scenery. This operation was greatly expanded in January 1984 with the dedication of the H. Lloyd Hawkins Scenic Studio in Metairie. There the Association maintains an inventory of sets and props, many of which have been rented to opera companies throughout North America. Scope and Content The New Orleans Opera Association Archives documents the business and creative operations of NOOA from its inception in 1943 to 2015. The contents of the collection were donated to Special Collections & Archives over the course of over a decade starting in 2003. Special Collections & Archives continues to receive programs of ongoing performances; these will be added to the collection annually (Subseries II-B: NOOA Programs). Board minutes, budgets, personnel files, promotional materials, and media documenting both performances and outreach efforts are just some of the facets of this collection. The business operations of NOOA are detailed in Series I: Administrative Files, while a complete timeline of NOOA’s performances can be compiled using the materials in Series II: Productions. Evidence of marketing and outreach activities are contained in Series III: Publicity. The collection contains a wealth of audio and visual media including photos, programs, posters, video, and sound recordings which recreate NOOA productions throughout the company’s existence in Series IV: Images and Media. The reel-to-reel tapes in the collection were recorded at the Municipal Auditorium using state- of-the-art stage microphones. System of Arrangement When possible, and when apparent, the original order of the collection was maintained. For sections of the collection, however, an arrangement scheme was imposed during processing in the absence of a usable original order. The collection is divided into series and then further into subseries. Because NOOA frequently performed the same opera many times but under slight name variations (different languages, different 5 capitalizations, etc.), the titles of operas were standardized using Uniform Titles for the purposes of this finding aid. The actual titles used for a given performance may vary from what appears in the finding aid; an appendix of alternate titles appears in the back of this document. Conditions Governing Access The collection is open for research use. Physical Access Most of the audiovisual items in the collection (Series IV, Subseries D-F) are fragile and in need of migration to newer and more stable formats. In addition, Special

    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).

    VOCAL 78 rpm Discs Minimum bid as indicated per item. Listings “Just about 1-2” should be considered as mint and “Cons. 2” with just the slightest marks. For collectors searching top copies, you’ve come to the right place! The further we get from the time of production (in many cases now 100 years or more), the more difficult it is to find such excellent extant pressings. Some are actually from mint dealer stocks and others the result of having improved copies via dozens of collections purchased over the past fifty years. * * * For those looking for the best sound via modern reproduction, those items marked “late” are usually of high quality shellac, pressed in the 1950-55 period. A number of items in this particular catalogue are excellent pressings from that era. * * * Please keep in mind that the minimum bids are in U.S. Dollars, a benefit to most collectors. * * * “Text label on verso.” For a brief period (1912-14), Victor pressed silver-on-black labels on the reverse sides of some of their single-faced recordings, usually with a translation of the text or similarly related comments. BESSIE ABOTT [s]. Riverdale, NY, 1878-New York, 1919. Following the death of her father which left her family penniless, Bessie and her sister Jessie (born Pickens) formed a vaudeville sister vocal act, accompanying themselves on banjo and guitar. Upon the recommendation of Jean de Reszke, who heard them by chance, Bessie began operatic training with Frida Ashforth. She subsequently studied with de Reszke him- self and appeared with him at the Paris Opéra, making her debut as Gounod’s Juliette.

A large body of published research exists regarding the physiology of breathing, the acoustics of singing, and solutions for specific vocal faults. There is similarly a growing body of research into the system of voice classification and repertoire assignment. This paper shall reexamine this research in light of baritenor voices. After establishing the general parameters of healthy vocal technique through appoggio, the various tenor, baritone, and bass Fächer will be studied to establish norms of vocal criteria such as range, timbre, tessitura, and registration for each Fach. The study of these Fächer includes examinations of the historical singers for whom the repertoire was created and how those roles are cast by opera companies in modern times. The specific examination of baritenors follows the same format by examining current and

  • The Bald Soprano
    The bald soprano Continue Follow the latest daily buzz with buzzFeed Daily Newsletter! For fans of the Sopranos it was a very good year. Sure, it's been 12 years since the HBO series gone, but news of the film's prequel in the works guaranteed more action from New Jersey's beloved fictional crime family. That's a big positive. Watching the cast and crew gather for the show's 20th anniversary party also had to ignite fond memories. Seeing everyone from Tony Sirico (Paulie Walnats) to Vincent Pastore (Big Pussy) and Dominique Chianer (Uncle Junior) in good health was a welcome sight. But there's still a wait to do until The Sopranos follow-up, Many Saints of Newark, arriving in theaters next year. Chances are you'll need at least a few shows to tide you off until then. With that in mind, we've put together a list of the best shows with The Sopranos quality you can stream now. They all have several seasons to enjoy, and some have new episodes coming in front of many Saints hits theaters. 1. Americans, or hide crime from the children of Americans FX In the first two seasons of The Sopranos, there is a lot of tension in the family as Meadow (Jamie-Lynn Sigler) and J.J. (Robert Iler) learn about the family business. When Meadow buys a good friend's car (as payment for his father's gambling debt), he gets too close to home. This corner of the suburban family resonates very differently than scenes from, say, Goodfellas or The Godfather.
