Join the MCANA Contact the Editors SupportAround theus U.S. Around Canada International Digital Issues in the Arts MemberRSS FEED Blogs Members on the Web Navigate to Font Of Lyricism Flows Again In New Floyd Opera Composer Carlisle Floyd, 89, has written his fifth opus for Houston Grand Opera. (Production photos by Lynn Lane) By William Albright HOUSTON — Carlisle Floyd turns 90 on June 11, but Houston Grand Opera started celebrating his birthday early. For the fifth time, the company commissioned a new opera from him. And it gave the resulting work — Prince of Players, a two-hour chamber opera in two acts — a popularly priced but handsomely staged three-performance, world-premiere run in Wortham Theater Center’s Cullen Theater. But the icing on the cake came on March 5, when the opening-night audience erupted in loud, prolonged appreciation as the composer joined the cast, conductor, and production team for onstage bows. Carlisle Floyd was 29 when he introduced ‘Susannah.’ Giuseppe Verdi astonished the world with his still-vibrant creativity at ages 73 and 79 with Otello and Falstaff, respectively. Prince of Players is no Falstaff (what is?), but the work, HGO’s 59th world premiere since 1973, is a remarkable achievement by a composer who burst onto the operatic scene in 1955 with Susannah and hasn’t written a new opera since Cold Sassy Tree was launched here 16 years ago. Floyd’s 14th music drama is dappled with the lyricism that has been a hallmark of his proudly accessible style from the beginning.

    Cindy Sadler commands any stage with her rich, impressive contralto and distinctive characterizations. As a "wonderful" Baba the Turk who "made every phrase count" (New York Times) and who you "loved from the first note" (Philadelphia Inquirer); a "terrific and touching Gertrude" with a "powerful voice" (ConcertNet.com); or a Marquise de Birkenfield who manages to be "both a fragile damsel … and an imperious aristocrat" (TalkinBroadway.com), she is the singing actor of choice for both comedic and dramatic contralto and mezzo-soprano roles. Most recently, she appeared as Madame Armfeldt in a revue of A Little Night Music with Austin Shakespeare, in a performance the Austin American-Statesman called “incandescent”. She made her role and company debut as The Mother in The Consul with Dayton Opera, where she was hailed for her "impressive contralto" and "grace and vulnerability" (Rafael de Acha, HeardandSeen-International.com). She then returned to Alamo City Opera as the "sharply distinctive" Madame Armfeldt in A Little Night Music. At Austin Opera, she "sparkled" (Paul Robinson, LaScenaMusical.org) in one of her signature roles, the Marquise de Birkenfield, (La fille du regiment). She recently appeared as the mezzo soloist in Aaron Copland's In the Beginning with the Centenary Camerata and as Amneris in a concert version of Aida with Spotlight on Opera. She will next make her house debut at Shreveport Opera as Marcellina in Le nozze di Figaro, and later appear as Azucena in a concert of Il trovatore with Spotlight on Opera. In recent seasons, Ms. Sadler made her Atlanta Opera debut as an "agreeable" Gertrude in Romeo & Juliette, "her contralto voice lovely to hear" (Stephanie Adrian, Opera News), her Irving Symphony debut in the title role of Carmen, and both her singing and stage directing debuts with the Mediterranean Opera Festival in Caltagirone, Sicily.
