  • For All the Attention Paid to the Striking Passage of Thirty-Four
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Humanities Commons for Jane, on our thirty-fourth Accents of Remorse The good has never been perfect. There is always some flaw in it, some defect. First Sightings For all the attention paid to the “interview” scene in Benjamin Britten’s opera Billy Budd, its musical depths have proved remarkably resistant to analysis and have remained unplumbed. This striking passage of thirty-four whole-note chords has probably attracted more comment than any other in the opera since Andrew Porter first spotted shortly after the 1951 premiere that all the chords harmonize members of the F major triad, leading to much discussion over whether or not the passage is “in F major.” 1 Beyond Porter’s perception, the structure was far from obvious, perhaps in some way unprecedented, and has remained mysterious. Indeed, it is the undisputed gnomic power of its strangeness that attracted (and still attracts) most comment. Arnold Whittall has shown that no functional harmonic or contrapuntal explanation of the passage is satisfactory, and proceeded from there to make the interesting assertion that that was the point: The “creative indecision”2 that characterizes the music of the opera was meant to confront the listener with the same sort of difficulty as the layers of irony in Herman Melville’s “inside narrative,” on which the opera is based. To quote a single sentence of the original story that itself contains several layers of ironic ambiguity, a sentence thought by some—I believe mistakenly—to say that Vere felt no remorse: 1.

Ballet Hispanico: CARMEN.maquia Facebook Twitter Print Email Pinterest More Sat, March 21, 2020 @ 7:30pm Category: dance Victoria Theater @ New Jersey Performing Arts Center (NJPAC) One Center Street Newark, NJ 07102 Ballet Hispánico, the nation’s premier Latin dance organization, brings its celebrated CARMEN.maquia, a sensual, full-length work created by Spanish choreographer Gustavo Ramírez Sansano, inspired by Bizet’s beloved opera. Fueled by physically charged choreography that fuses contemporary dance with Spanish paso doble and flamenco, CARMEN.maquia takes its cues from the 1845 novella by Prosper Mérimée and the 1875 opera by Georges Bizet. The ballet tells the dramatic story of Carmen, a spirited gypsy, and her love triangle with the doting Don Jose, an army officer, and Escamillo, a bullfighter. In his version, Sansano reimagines Carmen in a Picasso-inspired setting, with a white, canvas-like set and sculptural costumes made to evoke the inside of traditional flamenco attire. Bizet’s classic score remains the soundtrack, in the form of various orchestral versions with no vocals. Currently under the artistic direction of Eduardo Vilaro, Ballet Hispánico tours worldwide with a diverse repertory by some of the foremost choreographers of our time as well as emerging artists. The company is acclaimed for works that fuse Latin dance with classical and contemporary techniques to create a new style in which theatricality and passion propel every move. “Ballet Hispánico shows what it is to be Latino in the modern world,” says The Financial Times.

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.
