  • Dayton Opera Artistic Director Thomas Bankston to Retire at the Conclusion of His 25Th Season with Dayton Opera in June 2021
    Dayton Opera Artistic Director Thomas Bankston to Retire at the Conclusion of His 25th Season with Dayton Opera in June 2021 CONTACT: ANGELA WHITEHEAD Communications & Media Manager Dayton Performing Arts Alliance Phone 937-224-3521 x 1138 [email protected] DAYTON, OH (February 7, 2020) – The Dayton Performing Arts Alliance (DPAA) has announced today that Thomas Bankston, Artistic Director of Dayton Opera, will retire in June 2021, at the conclusion of the newly announced 2020–2021 Celebrate Season, Dayton Opera’s 60th anniversary season. “The coming together of three especially celebratory events in the 2020-21 season – Dayton Opera’s 60th anniversary, my 25th season, and the closing of that season with a world premiere opera production, Finding Wright – seemed like a fitting time at which to bring to a close my 41 year career in the professional opera business. Dayton Opera has been a huge part of my life and will always hold a special place in my heart. Especially all the wonderful friendships and associations I have made with artists, staff and volunteers that will make my retirement a truly bittersweet one,” said Tom Bankston. The 2020–2021 season will mark Bankston’s 25th season providing artistic leadership for Dayton Opera, the longest term of artistic leadership in the company’s history. In 1996, he began his work with the company, sharing his wide-ranging knowledge of the field of opera between Dayton Opera and Cincinnati Opera, the company where in 1982 he began his work as an opera administrator. At the start of the 2001–2002 season, he left Cincinnati Opera and assumed the position of Artistic Director for Dayton Opera on a full-time basis, and then was named General & Artistic Director of Dayton Opera in 2004.

NOVEMBER 2019 BNC PHOENIX CHAPTER PAGE 2 Co-Presidents’ Message Dear Fellow Brandeis Members, Thanksgiving is coming and our Phoenix BNC Chapter has so much to be thankful for. Our BNC Chapter contributed over $135,000 of the almost $1 million in donations raised during BNC's Magnify the Mind Campaign. The Campaign funds have been used to purchase and equip space for a high-speed two-photon microscope. This essential technology allows Brandeis researchers and science students the ability to observe brain activity in real time and will also help to keep Brandeis University at the forefront in research for neurodegenerative diseases. At our BNC Phoenix Fall Opening Event, we were fortunate to have as our guest speaker Joshua Trachtenberg. Dr. Trachtenberg graduated from Brandeis in 1990 and is a leader in studying the living brain in action by using advanced imaging technology. After establishing his research laboratory at UCLA, he founded a company named Neurolabware. It was their two-photon microscope that was purchased for use at Brandeis University. Our sincere thanks to our Program VPs Bonnie Clewans and Judy Krockey and the Programming Committee for creating an informative and enjoyable brunch.

  • Verdi) De La Hija Del Bufón
    DISCOS por Ingrid Haas Demuro es un Duque que suena joven, con una voz lírica de emisión un poco abierta y con tendencia a cantar todo en forte, reflejando el carácter despreocupado y vivaz del personaje. Canta un buen ‘Questa o quella’ y una muy pícara ‘La donna è mobile’, saliendo bien librado en ‘Parmi veder le lagrime’, aunque sentimos que le falta un poco de sutileza al cantar. Un poco más de elegancia en su canto hubiese dado más matices al Duque, en general, pero especialmente en su segunda aria. En su dueto con Sierra ‘È il sol dell’anima, la vita è amore’, Demuro matiza un poco más para acoplarse con la delicadeza de su Gilda. Sus agudos y sobreagudos son brillantes, un poco abiertos, pero bien timbrados. Incluye la cabaletta ‘Possente amor mi chiama’ que canta con desenfreno, culminándola con un Mi sobreagudo interpolado que se escucha muy débil. La Gilda de Nadine Sierra posee la dulzura y la fuerza que son necesarias para el papel, cantando con preciosa línea de canto sus duetos con Rigoletto y el Duque en el primer acto seguidos de un exquisito ‘Caro nome’. Su voz es puramente lírica y no es la típica voz ligera que se suele asociar con el papel RIGOLETTO (Verdi) de la hija del bufón. Se adentra en el papel desde su entrada en D. Hvorostovsky, N. Sierra, F. Demuro, O.Volkova, A. ‘Figlia!... Mio padre!’ y se acopla muy bien con el Rigoletto de Mastroni; C. Orbelian Hvorostovsky. Su voz se expande y tiene squillo, además de una Kaunas Symphony Orchestra, Men of the Kaunas State musicalidad a flor de piel.
