Friday, February 12, 2021 | 4 PM MANHATTAN SCHOOL OF MUSIC OPERA THEATRE Tazewell Thompson, Director of Opera Studies presents Connection/Separation Featuring arias and scenes from Carmen, Così fan tutte, Die Zauberflöte, La clemenza di Tito, L’elisir d’amore, Le nozze di Figaro, Les pêcheurs de perles, and Lucio Silla A. Scott Parry, Director Myra Huang, Vocal Coach & Pianist Kristen Kemp, Vocal Coach & Pianist Megan P. G. Kolpin, Props Coordinator DIRECTOR’S NOTE In each of our lives—during this last year especially—we may have discovered ourselves in moments of wanting, even needing some sort of human connection, but instead finding separation by any number of barriers. In the arias and scenes that follow, we witness characters in just this kind of moment; searching for meaningful contact yet being somehow barred from achieving it. Through circumstance, distance, convention, misunderstanding, pride, fear, ego, or what have you, we may find ourselves in situations similar to the characters in this program, while looking forward to the days when connection can be more easily achieved and separation the exception to the rule.

  • 1 Eugenio Maria De Hostos Community College / CUNY
    Eugenio Maria de Hostos Community College / CUNY Humanities Department Visual & Performing Arts Unit Academic Program Review Fall 2016 Second Draft Academic Program Mission Statement The Visual & Performing Arts Unit fosters and maintains the history and practice of all aspects of artistic endeavor in the College and the community. Through its curriculum, members of the College community and other members of the urban community explore, interpret, and apply the artistic practices that lead to a better understanding of themselves, their environment, and their roles in society. Description of the Unit The VPA Unit is the largest unit of the Humanities Department. It serves approximately 1,125 students from all majors at Hostos every semester. With courses as far ranging as painting and drawing, art history, public speaking, acting, music, and photography, students can pursue many possible creative paths. Those who elect to earn credits in the visual and performing arts will find a variety of approaches to learning that include lecture and studio based classes as well as workshops that allow for the exploration of extracurricular interests or even for the development of career centered skill sets vital to the pursuit of employment opportunities. The successful completion of courses in the arts are a useful and, in many cases, essential basis for study in other disciplines. They are also a valuable source for personal development. Students interested in planning a concentration in the visual and performing arts are advised to consult with the Visual and Performing Arts Coordinator. The Media Design Programs were originally housed in the VPA Unit, but operate as a separate unit due to the considerable growth of students and courses.

  • Amato Opera Company Building, Located at 319 Bowery in Manhattan, As a New York City Landmark
    January 28, 2009 Hon. Robert Tierney, Chair NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission 1 Centre Street, 9th Floor New York, NY 10007 Dear Chairman Tierney, We write to request that the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission consider the designation of the Amato Opera Company building, located at 319 Bowery in Manhattan, as a New York City Landmark. The building’s history is notable for its connection to the theatrical history both of the Bowery and of the surrounding neighborhoods. Though the Amato Opera Company has remained small and intimate since its founding 61 years ago, it has played a significant role in the both the Village theatre and world opera scenes. The Bowery has a long and rich theatre history, which began with the opening of the Bowery Theatre in 1826. By the late 19th Century, the Bowery was considered to be the center of New York theatre life. Today, the presence of The Amato Opera Company is an important reminder of this history, yet it also links the Bowery to the avant‐garde theatre scene that flourished later in the 1940s and 50s all over the South Village, East Village, Greenwich Village and NoHo. The Amato Opera Company was founded with the same populist spirit that drove Joseph Papp to showcase low‐cost Shakespeare productions at the Public Theatre just a few blocks uptown, and which encouraged the opening of dozens of others such as the Circle in the Square Theatre, the Provincetown Playhouse, and the Sullivan Street Theatre, all of which have been lost. As more of these theatres are demolished, a crucial part of the history of Lower Manhattan is being erased.
