    Press Release MASTERVOICES PRESENTS WORLD PREMIERE OF NEW ADAPTATION OF LADY IN THE DARK APRIL 25-27, AS PART OF NEW YORK CITY CENTER’S 75TH-ANNIVERSARY SEASON VICTORIA CLARK HEADS UP CAST IN PRODUCTION THAT FEATURES COSTUMES BY ZAC POSEN, MARCHESA, AND THOM BROWNE Tickets Now Available for Newly-Added Third Performance on April 27 New York, NY, March 25, 2019 – MasterVoices will conclude its 2018-19 season with the world premiere of a new adaptation of the legendary Kurt Weill, Ira Gershwin, Moss Hart musical Lady in the Dark. Presented as part of New York City Center’s 75th–anniversary season, it is directed and conducted by MasterVoices Artistic Director Ted Sperling, and choreographed by Doug Varone. The musical will star Tony Award winner Victoria Clark in the lead role of Liza Elliott. In addition to the previously announced performances on April 25 and 26, because of high-ticket demand, a matinee has been added for April 27. Opening on Broadway in 1941, Lady in the Dark was groundbreaking in its unusual subject matter— psychoanalysis—and unconventional structure. It has not been seen in New York in 25 years, since it was presented as part of the inaugural Encores! season at New York City Center in 1994. Lady in the Dark will feature MasterVoices’ 120 singers, Orchestra of St. Luke’s, and Doug Varone and Dancers. Varone’s new choreography makes dance an integral element in Liza’s story, as dancers act out her thoughts sung by the chorus. In addition to Miss Clark, the cast of eight includes Tony Nominees Montego Glover, Ashley Park, and Ron Raines; Ben Davis, Christopher Innvar, and David Pittu; and Golden Globe Award and Academy Award Nominee Amy Irving.

  • Kurt Weill and Erich Wolfgang Korngold
    KURT WEILL AND ERICH WOLFGANG KORNGOLD: COMPOSERS OF TWO WORLDS A Report of a Senior Study by Bonnie Pelsue Finn Major: Music Maryville College Fall, 2011 Date Approved , by Faculty Supervisor Date Approved , by Editor ABSTRACT This research follows the lives of two composers, Erich Wolfgang Korngold and Kurt Weill, ultimately looking at the effect they had on American music. Both were born at the turn of the 20th century, and composed classically in Europe prior to the Nazi takeover of Germany and Austria. An explanation is given of the political background of Germany prior to 1933, as well as how music and politics intertwined and affected many Jewish composers and musicians of the era. Brief descriptions of Nazi doctrines are also included. Following the lives and musical output of these two composers, the first chapter focuses from birth to 1933. Their music and talents will be explored, as well as the political arenas they lived in and how they reacted to the changing times. Chapter Two will follow how becoming an American affected them and the effect they had on American music from 1933 until their deaths. The final chapter examines the music they created in each world and the changes imposed upon it through emigration. iii Table of Contents CHAPTER 1 .........................................................................................................................
