Brickman The Temple Senior Rabbi search committee has continued its activities in February. Please follow this link to our latest update that can be seen on our Temple website http://templesinainola.com/2016/02/23/february-temple-sinai-senior-rabbi- search-update/. In addition, we will be sending this out via our regular weekly eblast. We appreciate your attention to our process and continue to thank everyone involved. Bob Brickman, President Cantor’s Notes- Cantor Joel Colman In the past few years after singing Paul Robeson’s “Old Man River,” many have approached me and let me know they were fortunate to have heard the song in person. My reaction is one of amazement as his career ended during the fifty’s. I am a bit jealous as I would have loved to have had the opportunity to also hear Mr. Robeson sing his signature song, “Old Man River.” In 1988 I had the opportunity to hear Robert McFerrin sing in St. Louis. He was the first African American to sing at the Metropolitan Opera. March 13th will mark a special occasion when Temple Sinai welcomes a native son, Bryan Hymel, for a lifetime musical event. Mr. Hymel is a world renowned opera star who performed at his alma mater, Loyola University. Bryan will grace our Bimah and sing in our glorious sanctuary on Sunday, March 13 at 6:00 pm. Please make every attempt to be one of the fortunate ones to hear Bryan Hymel. Bryan preformed in the Temple Sinai sanctuary in July 2005 prior to securing a prominent role with his unparallel voice in the opera world. For those who have never heard opera sung, please join us on March 13 at 6:00 pm. You will hear singing at its highest level and one day years from now you will be saying to someone, “I remember when I heard Bryan Hymel sing at Temple Sinai and I will never forget it.” Joining Bryan will be his talented wife, Irini. Her soprano voice will also grace our sanctuary. I will also have the honor of singing a selection from Carmen with Bryan. I assume some of you know the name, Norman Treigle. He is a famous opera singer from New Orleans. I am sure that many who will be crowed in our sanctuary on March 13 have hear his glorious voice in person. Lucky people!!! You can now be one of the lucky ones to hear Bryan Hymel. I promise you will be delighted. Sunday, March 13, 2016 6:00 pm A once in lifetime musical event at Temple Sinai! One of the opera world’s fastest rising stars, New Orleanian, Bryan Hymel, will appear in concert at Temple Sinai in the Sanctuary. This appearance will follow his current operatic roles at the Washington National Opera, London’s Royal Opera House, Opéra National de Paris, and the Metropolitan Opera. The New Yorker proclaimed “he has a voice of heroic stature.” As a special treat, he is coming in honor and tribute to the love he has shared with Rabbi Edward P. Cohn and Cantor Joel Colman, and the entire Temple Sinai family. Proceeds from this historic concert will be designated toward the Edward P. Cohn Rabbi Emeritus Chair and the Temple Sinai Cantor’s Music Fund.

    PORTADA Bryan Hymel: El tenor de las óperas imposibles por Ingrid Haas l mundo de la ópera notó el talento y la voz del tenor norteamericano Bryan Hymel cuando interpretó el rol de EÉnée en Les troyens de Berlioz en la Royal Opera House (ROH) de Londres, sustituyendo a Jonas Kaufmann. Fue también con este mismo papel y en otra suplencia de emergencia, ahora en el Metropolitan Opera House de Nueva York, que Hymel catapultó su carrera hasta convertirse en uno de los tenores más requeridos por las casas de ópera más importantes del mundo. El tenor Marcello Giordani no pudo seguir cantando el papel de Énée y el Met llamó de emergencia a Hymel, ya que se acercaba la transmisión en vivo de Les troyens. Dado que el papel de Énée es el más largo, y dado que canta durante toda la ópera, era Don José en Carmen, con Elena Maximova en Londres imperativo contar con alguien que lo pudiese cantar sin problema, Foto: Catherine Ashmore al lado de las otras dos grandes cantantes que interpretaron los roles de Cassandre y Didon: Deborah Voigt y Susan Graham, National Council Auditions.

  • Opera 101 – an Introduction to Opera
    OPERA 101 – AN INTRODUCTION TO OPERA A Syllabus for March-April 2021 Loving Opera Thursdays, March 11, 18, 25, and April 1; 10:00 - 11:30am Opera has always been intended as a glorious entertainment - one that beguiles all the senses. If you’ve ever been tempted to find out what opera’s attractions are, but have been put off by seemingly incomprehensible conventions, then this is the course for you. Focusing on the operas of the late 18th, the 19th, and the early 20th centuries, members will discover together those elements that continue to attract opera audiences who love a great tale well told, thrilling sound, the dance, passions on display, and the arts working together to move the heart and lift the spirit. I, Steve Dubrow ([email protected]), have been a devotee of opera since my childhood, attending, over the years, many hundreds of opera and vocal recital performances in the U.S. and Europe and maintaining an extensive CD collection focused on the classical vocal arts. Having graduated summa cum laude from Columbia, I did graduate work in Romance Languages and Literatures at Princeton and taught French at Brown University. A specialist in press and cultural affairs, I served for 25 years as a U.S. Foreign Service Officer, worKing in Serbia, Bosnia, Croatia, Slovenia, Congo, Poland, Belgium, France, Austria, and – of course – in Washington, DC. I retired in 1998 as a member of the Senior Foreign Service. From 2000 until 2019, I taught world languages (French, Latin, Spanish, Italian) in high school in Montgomery County, MD, where I became a National Board Certified Teacher.

The season opened with the premiere of a new production of Wagner’s Tristan und Isolde and also included five other new stagings, as well as 20 revivals. The Live in HD series of cinema transmissions brought opera to audiences around the world for the 11th year, with ten broadcasts reaching approximately 2.3 million people. Combined earned revenue for the Met (Live in HD and box office) totaled $111 million. Total paid attendance for the season in the opera house was 75%. All six new productions in the 2016–17 season were the work of distinguished directors who had previous success at the Met. The compelling Opening Night new production of Tristan und Isolde was directed by Mariusz Treliński, who made his Met debut in 2015 with the double bill of Tchaikovsky’s Iolanta and Bartók’s Bluebeard’s Castle. French-Lebanese director Pierre Audi brought his distinctive vision to Rossini’s final operatic masterpiece Guillaume Tell, following his earlier staging of Verdi’s Attila in 2010. Robert Carsen, who first worked at the Met in 1997 on his popular production of Tchaikovsky’s Eugene Onegin, directed a riveting new Der Rosenkavalier, the company’s first new staging of Strauss’s grand comedy since 1969.
