BUTTERFLY THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 5:30PM SANTA FE WOMAN’S CLUB 1616 OLD PECOS TRAIL FREE FOR GUILD MEMBERS; $10 FOR NON-MEMBERS When M. Butterfly premieres during The Santa Fe Opera’s 2020 season, it will be an opera that’s based on a play that’s based on an opera that’s based on a play that’s based on a short story that’s based on a novel. This talk by Mark Tiarks looks at the complex genesis of this new piece, beginning with Pierre Loti’s 1887 novel Madame Chrysanthème and John Luther Long’s 1898 short story inspired by Madame Butterfly. Impresario David Belasco adapted the short story for the New York stage, where it was an unexpected smash hit in 1900. Puccini saw the play in London and insisted on securing the rights for his 1904 opera Madama Butterfly. David Henry Hwang, in turn, used it as inspiration for his 1988 Tony Award-winning play M. Butterfly. Along the way there were film adaptations of the opera (including one without Puccini’s music which starred Cary Grant as Pinkerton!) and of Hwang’s play, starring Jeremy Irons. M. Butterfly has been given new life as an opera by librettist Hwang and composer Huang Ruo. M. Butterfly makes its world premiere this summer in Santa Fe. Don’t miss this opportunity to hear one of our favorite speakers and learn the background of this exciting new opera. The talk will be on Thursday, February 13 at the Santa Fe Woman’s Club, beginning at 5:30PM. This event is free for members, but we are asking everyone to register by clicking here or phoning 888-666-3430 x503. POSOLE MIO! FUNDRAISER IN ESPAÑOLA POSOLE MIO!

The February and March Operagram will contain further details, but please note the dates and venues now to avoid missing out on this wonderful opportunity to hear Desirée lecture. She is sought after as both a lecturer on opera and a Wagner expert. The lectures take place on March 26, 5:30PM: Introduction to Tristan und Isolde, Part I at the Santa Fe Woman’s Club and on April 29, 6:00PM: The Tristan Chord: Digging Deeper, Part II, at the Collected Works Bookstore & Coffeehouse. BREAKFAST LECTURES Don’t miss the Breakfast Lectures at Collected Works Bookstore & Coffeehouse before Saturday morning performances of The Met: Live in HD. The café opens at 8:00AM. Please plan to arrive at least 30 minutes before the lecture begins to secure a seat and purchase breakfast goodies. Breakfast Lectures precede every The Met: Live in HD broadcast at the Lensic. The January talk takes place at 9:30AM on Saturday, January 11 for Alban Berg’s Wozzeck, with speakers Mim Chapman and Mark Tiarks as guest lecturers. When asked to describe Wozzeck in just a few words, Mark stated “Wozzeck is a 100-minute masterpiece and one of the most emotionally powerful operas ever written; the saga portrays the plight of an impoverished soldier struggling to provide for his family in a society where the odds are stacked against him.” It will also prove enlightening to hear Mim Chapman’s insight into this opera. On February 1, Mark Tiarks returns as speaker for The Gershwins’ Porgy and Bess. Mark notes “George Gershwin’s Catfish Row classic evolves during a production that fully captures its operatic scope and dramatic impact, in addition to all those hit songs. Add to it the knockout casting of Eric Owens as Porgy and Angel Blue as Bess.” It promises to be quite a lecture! There is a donation of $5 per person, check or cash. Collected Works is located one block from The Lensic at the corner of Galisteo and Water Street. THE MET: LIVE IN HD WOZZECK SATURDAY, JANUARY 11, 11:00 AM │ ENCORE PERFORMANCE, 6:00PM THE LENSIC PERFORMING ARTS CENTER 211 WEST SAN FRANCISCO STREET RUNNING TIME: 1 HR 42 MINS Twentieth century Austrian composer Alban Berg wrote both the music and the libretto for his emotionally complex opera, Wozzeck. This new production is vividly brought to life for the cinema debut by South African William Kentridge who was lauded for his amazing production of Berg’s Lulu. Kentridge sets the opera in Germany prior to World War I with sets that convey his range of visual creativity. The cast is led by Swedish baritone Peter Mattei in the role of the tormented Wozzeck in love with the unfaithful Marie, portrayed by South African soprano Elza van den Heever. The supporting cast includes tenors Gerhard Siegel (The Captain), Andrew Staples (Andres) and Christopher Ventris (The Drum Major). Bass-baritone Christian Van Horn is The Doctor. The conductor is Yannic Nezet-Seguin, The Met’s Music Director. Please click here to learn more about The Second Viennese School of Music where Berg studied and how Atonality and Twelve-tone composition informed his work. The Met: Live in HD website is a wealth of information on every aspect of the production of Wozzeck. Tickets for all The Met: Live in HD performances are available at the Lensic box office or by calling (505)988-1234.

  • ARSC Journal

    A Discography of the Choral Symphony by J. F. Weber In previous issues of this Journal (XV:2-3; XVI:l-2), an effort was made to compile parts of a composer discography in depth rather than breadth. This one started in a similar vein with the realization that SO CDs of the Beethoven Ninth Symphony had been released (the total is now over 701). This should have been no surprise, for writers have stated that the playing time of the CD was designed to accommodate this work. After eighteen months' effort, a reasonably complete discography of the work has emerged. The wonder is that it took so long to collect a body of information (especially the full names of the vocalists) that had already been published in various places at various times. The Japanese discographers had made a good start, and some of their data would have been difficult to find otherwise, but quite a few corrections and additions have been made and some recording dates have been obtained that seem to have remained 1.Dlpublished so far. The first point to notice is that six versions of the Ninth didn't appear on the expected single CD. Bl:lhm (118) and Solti (96) exceeded the 75 minutes generally assumed (until recently) to be the maximum CD playing time, but Walter (37), Kegel (126), Mehta (127), and Thomas (130) were not so burdened and have been reissued on single CDs since the first CD release. On the other hand, the rather short Leibowitz (76), Toscanini (11), and Busch (25) versions have recently been issued with fillers.

The estab­ lishment of a chamber music society completes the full spectrum of perform­ ing arts that was fundamental to the original concept of Lincoln Center. The Chamber Music Society of Lin­ coln Center will have as its home the Center’s new Alice Tully Hall. This intimate hall, though located within the new Juilliard building, will be managed by Lincoln Center as an independent Wadsworth Carmirelli Treger public auditorium, with its own entrance and box office on Broadway between 65th and 66th Streets. The hall, with its 1,100 capacity and paneled basswood walls, has been specifically designed for chamber music and recitals. The initial Board of Directors of the New Chamber Music Society will com­ prise Miss Alice Tully, Chairman; Frank E. Taplin, President; Edward R. Ward­ well, Vice-President; David Rockefeller, Jr., Treasurer; Sampson R. Field, Sec­ retary; Mrs. George A. Carden; Dr. Peter Goldmark; Mrs. William Rosen- wald and Dr. William Schuman. The Chamber Music Society is being organ­ ized on a non-profit basis and, like other cultural institutions, depends upon voluntary contributions for its existence. Charles Wadsworth has been ap­ pointed Artistic Director of The Cham­ ber Music Society of Lincoln Center. The Society is the outgrowth of an in­ tensive survey of the chamber music field and the New York chamber music audience, conducted by Mr.
