But those outdoor concerts, attended by a total of 15,000 people, did not take place at Tanglewood: the orchestra performed nearby under a large tent at Holmwood, a former Vanderbilt estate that later became The Center at Foxhollow. In fact, the first Berkshire Symphonic Festival had taken place two summers earlier, at Interlaken, when, organized by a group of music-loving Berkshire summer residents, three outdoor concerts were given by members of the New York Philharmonic, under the direction of composer/conductor Henry Hadley. But after a second concert series in 1935, plans for 1936 proved difficult, for reasons including Hadley’s health and aspects of the musical programming; so the organizing committee instead approached Koussevitzky and the BSO’s Trustees, whose enthusiastic response led to the BSO’s first concerts in the Berkshires. In the winter of 1936, following the BSO’s concerts that summer, Mrs. Gorham Brooks and Miss Mary Aspinwall Tappan offered Tanglewood, the Tappan family estate, with its buildings and 210 acres of lawns and meadows, as a gift to Koussevitzky and the orchestra. The offer was gratefully accepted, a two-weekend festival was planned for 1937, and on August 5 that year, the festival’s largest crowd to date assembled under a tent for the first Tanglewood concert, an all-Beethoven program. At the all-Wagner concert that opened the 1937 festival’s second weekend, rain and thunder twice interrupted the Rienzi Overture and necessitated the omission altogether of the Siegfried Idyll, music too gentle to be heard through the downpour. At the inter- mission, Miss Gertrude Robinson Smith, one of the festival’s founders, made an appeal to raise funds for the building of a permanent structure. The appeal was broadened by means of a printed circular handed out at the two remaining concerts, and within a short time enough money was raised to begin active planning for a “music pavilion.” Eliel Saarinen, the eminent architect selected by Koussevitzky, proposed an elaborate design that went far beyond the festival’s immediate needs, and also well beyond the $100,000 budget. When his second, simplified plans were again deemed too expensive, A banner advertising the 1939 Berkshire Symphonic Festival (BSO Archives) he finally wrote that if the Trustees insisted on remaining within their budget, they would have “just a shed...which any builder could accomplish without the aid of an architect.” The Trustees then asked Stockbridge engineer Joseph Franz to simplify Saarinen’s plans further, and the “Shed” he erected—which remains, with modifica- tions, to this day—was inaugurated on August 4, 1938, with the first concert of that year’s festival. It has resounded to the music of the Boston Symphony Orchestra every summer since, except for the war years 1942-45, and has become almost a place of pilgrimage to millions of concertgoers. In 1959, as the result of a collabora- tion between the acoustical consultant Bolt Beranek and Newman and archi- tect Eero Saarinen and Associates, the installation of the then-unique Edmund Hawes Talbot Orchestra Canopy, along with other improve- After the storm of August 12, 1937, which precipitated a fundraising drive ments, produced the Shed’s present for the construction of the Tanglewood Shed (BSO Archives) world-famous acoustics. In 1988, on the occasion of its fiftieth anniversary, the Shed was rededicated as “The Serge Kous- sevitzky Music Shed,” recognizing the far-reaching vision of the BSO’s legendary music director. In 1940, the Berkshire Music Center (now the Tanglewood Music Center) began its operations. By 1941 the Theatre-Concert Hall, the Chamber Music Hall, and several small studios were finished, and the festival had so expanded its activities

  • Lucia Di Lammermoor Christopher Hoile
    Stage Door April 18, 2013 Lucia di Lammermoor Christopher Hoile ✭✭✭✭✩ by Gaetano Donizetti, directed by David Alden Canadian Opera Company, Four Seasons Centre, Toronto April 17-May 24, 2013 “Un’armonia celeste” The Canadian Opera Company’s current production of Lucia di Lammermoor is a feast of beautiful singing and effective acting with no weak link in the cast. The production comes from the English National Opera and was created for this particular Lucia, American Anna Christy. Director David Alden is not as given as is his twin brother Christopher to nonsensical staging, but he can sometimes be tempted to excess. Unlike his brother’s recent work (two duds this season with Die Fledermaus and La Clemenza di Tito ), David’s lapses are at least tempered with bursts of insight. Donizetti’s 1835 opera is based on Sir Walter Scott’s novel The Bride of Lammermoor (1819), which in turn is based on true events from the 17th century. Since Scott transports these events to the 18th century, Alden is fully justified in transporting Scott’s action another century upwards to the 19th. This also makes sense since Alden’s concept seems to be heavily influence by Edgar Allen Poe’s tale The Fall of the House of Usher (1839). The two key features of Poe’s tale Alden uses are the image of a crumbling house that reflects the owners’ state of mind and the notion of brother-sister incest. In Alden’s production all the scenes, except the last, are located inside the decrepit Ashton mansion. He sets the fountain scene between Lucia and Edgardo in the mansion’s own theatre.
