CONTACTS: Cynthia Shaw, The Kresge Foundation 248.643.9630 Phone [email protected] Mira Burack, College for Creative Studies 313.664.7939 Phone [email protected] FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MICHIGAN OPERA THEATRE’S DAVID DICHIERA NAMED 2013 KRESGE EMINENT ARTIST DETROIT, MICHIGAN – JANUARY 9, 2013 - Composer and operatic impresario David DiChiera – a champion of Detroit’s renaissance – has been named the 2013 Kresge Eminent Artist. The Kresge Eminent Artist award and $50,000 prize recognize DiChiera’s contributions as founder, music director, and general director of the Michigan Opera Theatre; his creativity and commitment to the community; and his efforts to build cultural bridges through the arts. A composer whose works include “Four Sonnets” (1965), “Cyrano” (2007) and the children’s opera “Rumpelstiltskin” (1973), DiChiera has presented opera, dance, and musical theater productions in Detroit and throughout Michigan for more than four decades. He has encouraged an appreciation for music and libretto in young people and adults, enriched the operatic repertoire by commissioning and premiering new productions and advanced the proposition that opera should reflect the community in which it is performed. DiChiera has opened the doors to new audiences and been a tirelessly effective force for community vitality, says Rip Rapson, president and CEO of The Kresge Foundation. “David is one of our community's most visionary leaders. He has nurtured an art form that combines music, dance, visual arts, and literature to tell stories of inspiration, power, and relevance – stories that bridge across eras and generations. He has contributed to the physical revitalization of our downtown cultural and entertainment district, re-energizing the landmark Music Hall theater and marshaling support for the opera house.

Cyrano De Bergerac
Cyrano de Bergerac Summer Reading Guide - English 10 Howdy, sophomores! Cyrano de Bergerac is a delightful French play by Edmond Rostand about a swashbuckling hero with a very large nose. It is one of my favorites! Read this entire guide before starting the play. The beginning can be tough to get through because there are many confusing names and characters, but stick with it and you won’t be disappointed! On the first day of class, there will be a Reading Quiz to test your knowledge of this guide and your comprehension of the play’s main events and characters. If you are in the honors section, you will also write a Timed Writing essay the first week of school. After school starts, we will analyze the play in class through discussions and various writing assignments. We will conclude the unit by watching a French film adaptation and comparing it to the play. By the way, my class is a No Spoiler Zone. This means that you may NOT spoil significant plot events to classmates who have not yet read the book. If you have questions about the reading this summer, please email me at [email protected]. I’ll see you in the fall! - Mrs. Lee 1 Introduction Cyrano de Bergerac is a 5-act play by French dramatist and poet Edmond Rostand (1868-1918). Our class version was translated into English by Gertrude Hall. Since its 1897 Paris debut, the play has enjoyed numerous productions in multiple countries. Cultural & Historical Background By the end of the 1800s, industrialization was taking place in most of Europe, including France, and with it came a more scientific way of looking at things.

Libertine Strategies
Joan Dejean LIBERTINE STRATEGIES Freedom and the Novel in Seventeenth-Century France $17.50 LIBERTINE STRATEGIES Freedom and the Novel in Seventeenth-Century France By Joan DeJean This book is an important contribution to the vigorous and growing revival of interest in the seventeenth-century French novel as the progenitor of what has become the dominant literary genre in our ow n time. In a brilliant discussion of a group of compelling works of prose fiction by freethinking authors whose flamboyant life styles, radical ideas, and auda cious attacks on the established order made their literary productions suspect, Joan De Jean demonstrates that the issues at the heart of the libertine enterprise—autobiography, madness, fragmentation, and dialogue—are precisely those that define the problematic modernity of these works. In detailed analyses of Theophile de Viau's Fragments d'une his toire comique, Charles SorePs Francion, Tris tan L'Hermite's Lepage disgracie, Cyrano de Bergerac's L'Autre Monde and Estats et empires du soleil, D'Assoucy's Avantures, and Chapelle's Voyage a Encausse, Professor DeJean explores the complex nonfictional literary genres with which they have tradi tionally been associated. Occupying an unstable middle ground be tween autobiography and the novel, the works of the libertines are, with one exception, all written in the first person, a marked departure from the dominant literary tradition of the ro man heroique. They reflect both structurally and thematically the problems of an existence that is at once lived and invented. Investigat ing these problems, DeJean provides an ori ginal interpretation of the libertines* obsession with naming, analyzes their perchant for fic tionalizing history, and studies their peculiar ambivalence about persecution.

Entendemos que el teatro nacional es una institución que va mucho más allá del edificio del Teatro Cervantes: abarca todo el país. No como centro irradiador, de la capital al interior; no como lugar de con- vergencia, del interior a la capital, sino como un nodo en una vasta red: la red de las prácticas teatrales del país. Estas prácticas definen y amplían nuestro ámbito de acción. No puede restringir- se el sentido de teatro nacional a las obras de autor argentino. Teatro nacional es el teatro que se hace en el país, o para el país, o que es relevante para el país, y que puede contribuir a agitar o transformar el país. A crearlo, en suma. Pensamos que un teatro nacional debe ser una caja de resonancia de los conflic- tos estéticos y sociales actuales, y que estos deben orientar nuestra mirada sobre el pasado y nuestra tradición. Más que un teatro-museo, queremos un teatro-re- flejo del presente y, con suerte, un teatro-reloj que adelante lo que vendrá.

CHAD SHELTON, Tenor
CHAD SHELTON, tenor Opera News praises tenor Chad Shelton for one of his trademark roles, claiming that his “Don José was the dramatic heart of this production; this was a performance that grew in complexity as he struggled to recon- cile the forces of loyalty, lust and fate. Shelton owned the final scene, as his character descended into despair fueled by psychotic obsession. His bright tone amplified the intensity of the last gripping moments.” In the 2016-17 season, he makes returns to the Grand Théâtre de Genève for his first performances of Sir Edgar Aubry in Der Vampyr and Houston Grand Opera to reprise Chairman Mao in Adams’ Nixon in China and sings Don Jose in Carmen on tour in Japan as a guest artist of the Seiji Ozawa Music Academy Opera Project. He also sings his first perfor- mances of Mahler’s Das Lied von der Erde with the Phoenix Symphony and returns to the roster of the Metropolitan Opera for its production of Cyrano de Bergerac. Last season, he retured to Houston Grand Opera for Cavardossi in Tosca and to create the role of Charles II in the world premiere of Carlisle Floyd’s Prince of Players. He made his Metropolitan Opera debut as Rodrigo in a new production of Otello and also joined the company for Elektra in addition to returning to one of his most fre- quently performed roles, Alfredo in La traviata, with Pensacola Opera. He has joined the Opéra National de Lorraine numerous times, including for the title role of Idomeneo, Giasone in Cherubini’s Medea, Don Jose in Carmen, Jack in Gerald Barry’s The Importance of Being Earnest, Lysander in A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Guido Bardi in Eine floren- tinische Tragödie, Lechmere in Owen Wingrave, Tamino in Die Zauber- flöte, and the title role of Candide.

PROGRAM NOTES Johan Wagenaar Cyrano De Bergerac, Op. 23
PROGRAM NOTES by Phillip Huscher Johan Wagenaar Born November 1, 1862, Utrecht. Died June 17, 1941, The Hague. Cyrano de Bergerac, Op. 23 Wagenaar composed this concert overture, inspired by Rostand's play, in 1905. The score calls for three flutes and piccolo, two oboes, two clarinets, two bassoons, four horns, three trumpets, three trombones and tuba, timpani, percussion, and strings. Performance time is approximately twelve minutes. The Chicago Symphony Orchestra has performed Wagenaar's Cyrano de Bergerac on subscription concerts at Orchestra Hall twice previously: on November 12 and 13, 1915, and on December 17 and 18, 1926, with Frederick Stock conducting. In 1902, Samuel Eberly Gross, a Chicago real estate developer who established more than 10,000 subdivisions and built rows upon rows of reasonably priced houses, won a lawsuit against Edmond Rostand, claiming that Rostand pirated a play Gross had written called The Merchant Prince of Corneville, when writing his own hit, Cyrano de Bergerac. Despite the federal judge's ruling, however, Gross's only enduring place in literature is as the model for the character Samuel E. Ross in Theodore Dreiser's novel Jennie Gerhardt. Rostand's play, on the other hand, has gone on to enjoy great success, on stage, in film (from José Ferrer's Academy Award–winning turn in Cyrano in 1950 to the knockoff Roxanne with Steve Martin in 1987), and in musical treatment--culminating in a 1936 full-scale opera by Franco Alfano, best known as the man who completed Puccini's Turandot. Just two years after Rostand's play was premiered in 1897, Victor Herbert turned it into an operetta.
