Printed in the U.S.A. FROM THE BOARD PRESIDENT elcome to our 74th Mississippi Opera Wseason. We have ten events scheduled, with a couple more pending, to be thrown in for good measure. The season starts with a bang in August with An Evening in St. Petersburg and ends with Charles Gounod’s classic Romeo and Juliette. In the middle we have Satchmo: A Tribute to Louis Armstrong, we have our national vocal competition winners’ concert Stage Stars of Tomorrow, we have Screaming, Screeching and Caterwauling (obviously named by someone not an opera fan). In December we have our annual Christmas event Amahl and the Night Visitors, followed shortly thereafter by our New Year’s Day Viennese Opera Brunch. Springtime brings us Mr. Showmanship: An Extravagant Liberace Tribute (it’s an incredible show), My Funny Valentine with Ora Reed, and Take Five – Celebrating the Dave Brubeck Centennial. You gotta’ have a calendar to keep up with it all. Take time to appreciate what is going on with opera, all at the same time – the vocals, the orchestra, the chorus, the choreography, costumes and props, and the tale being told – this is what makes opera the most inclusive of the musical arts. We can thank our artistic director Jay Dean and Tippy Garner for pulling all this together for us. We also thank our donors who are mentioned in this program for enabling us to have opera here in Mississippi. Like all opera companies, our ticket sales only cover a fraction of the operating and production costs. Culturally cognizant, community minded individuals, businesses and other entities do their part to fill the gap with their donations – we need you to become part of that distinguished group. It is as easy as writing a check; you can do it! Your opera company is part of what makes life good in Jackson and Mississippi, and we owe a debt of gratitude to you who support us. Please join with our supporters and help us keep going strong. Thank you again for coming to this event and for supporting Mississippi Opera. Elbert Bivins, Board President Mississippi Arts Commission 2017 Governor’s Arts Awards Recipients The Mississippi Opera Association–Artistic Excellence MISSISSIPPI OPERA 3 FROM THE GENERAL AND ARTISTIC DIRECTOR Dear Opera Friends, Welcome to the 74th season of the Mississippi Opera. We’re not just opera anymore; we present a wide variety of musical performances for your year-round entertainment! This season you will see and hear exciting cabarets, revues, and operatic productions such as Shattering the Glass and Roméo et Juliette. You will hear some of the best singers that our country has to offer, and we are so glad that you are with us this year. Beginning in 1945, as the Jackson Opera Guild, Mississippi Opera enjoys a long and distinguished history. Mississippi Opera is different from most major American opera companies because it was founded by local residents who had a common cultural interest, opera. These culturally minded citizens wanted to create an arts organization for the city, but Mississippi Opera has now become more than that; we are a true regional opera company. Also, one of our rare qualities as an organization is our multi-generational connection: some of our audience members, chorus members, board and Guild members have Mississippi Opera ties that go back several generations. Our mission is to enhance Mississippi’s cultural and economic development by presenting high quality opera performances in an accessible manner; to identify and develop regional operatic artists; and to promote the understanding and appreciation of Opera through education, outreach, and audience development. Thus, we are committed to the professional presentation of traditional operas as well as advancing the art form by embracing new venues and programming. We also place a great deal of value on education and community outreach, and it is our goal to expose every citizen in Mississippi, young and old, to this great art form called opera. As we collectively shape the future of Mississippi Opera, we should keep in mind that great things do not happen by themselves; they happen because of dedicated people. No great work of art was ever created by accident; it was the vision and work of a talented, dedicated human being whose time and effort created that work. Just like the individual, no great organization will ever be successful by accident, its success will be because of the collective work of the people who create, execute, and support the vision of that organization. We want you to be part of our vision. Thank you for being here, and thank you for being our ambassadors. We are proud to have you as a part of the Mississippi Opera family.

    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.

  • PROGRAMME LUC PLAMONDON Parolier
    PROGRAMME LUC PLAMONDON Parolier Né à Saint-Raymond de Portneuf, Luc Plamondon est initié très jeune au monde de la musique. Sa tante Augustine lui apprendra le piano et lui fera jouer des rôles dans des opérettes. ll commence secrètement à écrire des chansons et des pièces de théâtre à son adolescence. Dix ans plus tard, après de longues études à Québec, Montréal, Paris, Londres, Berlin, Rome et à Grenades, il se retrouve aux États-Unis. Suivra une année d’errance. À New York, il se gave de comédies musicales, puis, à San Francisco, il tombe sous le choc de Hair, le premier rock musical, l’étincelle qui l’amènera dix ans plus tard à écrire Starmania, dont la création à Paris sera dirigée par... Tom O’Horgan, le célèbre metteur en scène original de Hair. C’est en revenant à Montréal qu’il écrit sa première chanson Dans ma Camaro, qui sera le hit de l'été 70. C’est en Diane Dufresne cependant qu’il trouvera son interprète fétiche, pour qui il écrira 75 chansons. Considéré comme le premier parolier rock de la langue française, il est appelé dans les années 70 - 80 à travailler, entre autres, avec Julien Clerc, Robert Charlebois, Françoise Hardy, Johnny Hallyday et Ginette Reno. En 1978, l’opéra rock Starmania (musique de Michel Berger) sort sur disque avec Diane Dufresne, France Gall, Fabienne Thibeault, Nanette Workman, Daniel Balavoine et Claude Dubois. Le spectacle est créé sur scène en 1979 au Palais des Congrès de Paris. Le succès immédiat et toujours grandissant des chansons de Starmania a donné lieu à de multiples productions dans différents pays au cours des quatre dernières décennies qui totalisent plus de 6 millions de spectateurs et autant d’albums.

  • Bellini's Norma
    Bellini’s Norma - A discographical survey by Ralph Moore There are around 130 recordings of Norma in the catalogue of which only ten were made in the studio. The penultimate version of those was made as long as thirty-five years ago, then, after a long gap, Cecilia Bartoli made a new recording between 2011 and 2013 which is really hors concours for reasons which I elaborate in my review below. The comparative scarcity of studio accounts is partially explained by the difficulty of casting the eponymous role, which epitomises bel canto style yet also lends itself to verismo interpretation, requiring a vocalist of supreme ability and versatility. Its challenges have thus been essayed by the greatest sopranos in history, beginning with Giuditta Pasta, who created the role of Norma in 1831. Subsequent famous exponents include Maria Malibran, Jenny Lind and Lilli Lehmann in the nineteenth century, through to Claudia Muzio, Rosa Ponselle and Gina Cigna in the first part of the twentieth. Maria Callas, then Joan Sutherland, dominated the role post-war; both performed it frequently and each made two bench-mark studio recordings. Callas in particular is to this day identified with Norma alongside Tosca; she performed it on stage over eighty times and her interpretation casts a long shadow over. Artists since, such as Gencer, Caballé, Scotto, Sills, and, more recently, Sondra Radvanovsky have had success with it, but none has really challenged the supremacy of Callas and Sutherland. Now that the age of expensive studio opera recordings is largely over in favour of recording live or concert performances, and given that there seemed to be little commercial or artistic rationale for producing another recording to challenge those already in the catalogue, the appearance of the new Bartoli recording was a surprise, but it sought to justify its existence via the claim that it authentically reinstates the integrity of Bellini’s original concept in matters such as voice categories, ornamentation and instrumentation.
