Victorian Opera's Season 2020 Media SEASON 2020 MEDIA KIT MEDIA RELEASE EMBARGOED UNTIL TUESDAY 3 SEPTEMBER 8 PM VICTORIAN OPERA ANNOUNCES SEASON 2020 Victorian Opera reveals its largest and most eclectic year yet with its Season 2020. From Richard Strauss to The Who, Victorian Opera appeals to broad musical tastes in a season featuring revered musicians including conductor Simone Young, German soprano Marlis Petersen – Berlin Philharmonic’s current Artist-in- Residence – and singer Katie Noonan. On Season 2020, Victorian Opera’s Artistic Director Richard Mills describes: “A season of tremendous power from Salome and Die tote Stadt to the visceral energy of The Who’s Tommy. Victorian Opera’s Season 2020 offers portals into fantastic worlds of myth and legend that only the unique union of music and poetry, a union which gives life to the art form of opera, can fully explore.” Marking the 15th anniversary of state opera company’s formation in 2005 and its second year as a Major Performing Arts company, Victorian Opera will also premiere its 23rd new Australian work in 2020. “As part of our proud long-term commitment to new Australian work, we tell stories of our own time by celebrating contemporary composers with an adaptation of Gustave Flaubert’s classic short stories Three Tales and revisit Margaret Fulton: The Musical,” Mills notes. Richard Strauss’ controversial opera Salome opens Season 2020 with a new production staged at Palais Theatre, St Kilda on 22, 25 and 27 February. The image of Salome kissing the severed head of John the Baptist at once repulses and fascinates; it still holds the power to shock audiences in Strauss’ exhilarating opera. Richard Mills conducts Orchestra Victoria with direction by Cameron Menzies and a cast led by Lithuanian soprano Vida Miknevičiūtė, English tenor Ian Storey, contralto Liane Keegan, and bass-baritone Daniel Sumegi. The head of John the Baptist will roll again with the world premiere of Three Tales . The new Australian opera assembles three composers to bring their unique styles to words by Australian playwright Daniel Keene.

Dermot Tutty explores the world of The Legend of Saint Julian the Hospitaller; following a man’s transformation from conqueror to compassionate hermit. The story of Salome is revisited in Herodias, composed by Stefan Cassomenos. Featuring virtuosic ensemble Plexus, Richard Mills conducts the new opera and Jane Davidson directs. Three performances only at Arts Centre Melbourne’s Playhouse on 26 and 27 June. Mills describes Three Tales, highlighting: “Three wonderful Australian composers, three stories of bizarre theatricality rendered by a great Australian playwright, and an ensemble whose name is now synonymous with uncompromising sonic adventure and commitment to what is new and revelatory.” Victorian Opera returns to the Palais Theatre for six electrifying performances of The Who’s Tommy from 14 – 21 August. The five-time Tony Award-winning musical is based on the band’s 1969 rock opera album Tommy. Adapted by The Who’s guitarist and vocalist Pete Townshend and Broadway director Des McAnuff, it tells the story of a traumatised teen who, despite being deaf, dumb, and blind, plays a mean game of pinball. The new production, directed by Roger Hodgman with music direction by Laura Tipoki, is the first professional staging of the musical in Australia. It’s set to shake audiences’ senses with smash hits, including ‘Pinball Wizard’ and ‘Acid Queen’. Opera lovers will flock to Arts Centre Melbourne, Hamer Hall on 21 August to hear some of the world’s leading artists in Erich Wolfgang Korngold’s Die tote Stadt (The Dead City). The Australian National Academy of Music (ANAM) Orchestra performs under the baton of distinguished Australian conductor Simone Young (ANAM Guest Faculty), alongside two of Europe’s top singers: soprano Marlis Petersen (Lulu, The Met) and tenor Michael Schade (Idomeneo, Vienna State Opera). Each artist marks their company debut. The story of a grieving man caught between memory and reality was one of the biggest hits of the 1920s, though has remained rarely performed since World War II. This one-night-only concert will also feature a cast of acclaimed local artists including Samuel Dundas, Carlos E. Bárcenas, and Kathryn Radcliffe, as well as the Australian Boys Choir and Victorian Opera Chorus. Victorian Opera presents musical biographies about two notable women of the world: Peruvian singer Yma Sumac and the late Australian cook Margaret Fulton. Ali McGregor, who won the 2019 Helpmann Award for Best Cabaret Artist, reprises her show Yma Sumac: The Peruvian Songbird at Arts Centre Melbourne, Playhouse on 18, 19, 20 June. McGregor traces her discovery of the unique singer, who rose to fame in the 1950s as a best-selling artist for Capitol Records. Margaret Fulton: The Musical celebrates Australia’s first culinary queen in a new production of this playful musical comedy at Arts Centre Melbourne’s Playhouse from 15 – 19 September. For younger audiences, Victorian Opera stages a further two works at Arts Centre Melbourne’s Playhouse; a revived production of Jules Massenet’s Cendrillon (Cinderella) as its Family Opera. Three performances on 13 June will be preceded by a Relaxed Performance on 12 June. The production will be profiled in the company’s innovative Access All Areas: Livestream Program, taking students behind the scenes in a series of FOR MORE INFORMATION Scott Whinfield, Media & Communications Executive [email protected] // (03) 9012 6653 // 0412 534 730 MEDIA RELEASE EMBARGOED UNTIL TUESDAY 3 SEPTEMBER 8 PM interactive online workshops before they experience the work at the theatre or livestreamed into their classroom.

The image of Salome kissing the severed head of John the Baptist at once repulses and fascinates; it still holds the power to shock audiences in Strauss’ exhilarating opera long after its premiere in 1905. Victorian Opera’s Artistic Director Richard Mills (La Sonnambula, William Tell, Pelleas and Melisande) conducts Orchestra Victoria with direction by Cameron Menzies (Seven Deadly Sins, The Selfish Giant). The cast features luminaries from the Australian and international stage, led by Lithuanian soprano Vida Miknevičiūtė, English tenor Ian Storey, contralto Liane Keegan, bass baritone Daniel Sumegi, and tenor James Egglestone. Most famous for the hypotonic ‘Dance of the Seven Veils’ moments before Salome requests the head of John the Baptist, the music of Strauss’ opera is known for power, immediacy, and rich orchestral colour. “A ritual which shocks through pity and terror, a catharsis which shakes the foundations of what it is to be human. Salome offers a theatrical experience which explores ‘the very north of humanness’ in a bloody confrontation which releases the spirit and makes us gasp with wonder.” – Richard Mills, Artistic Director, Victorian Opera Subscriptions are available from 8 pm Tuesday 3 September for current subscribers and go on sale on 18 September to the public. Tickets to all Season 2020 productions will go on sale from 9 October.

Marking its first professional staging in Australia, the musical is an adaptation of The Who’s legendary 1969 rock opera album Tommy. The original album, which was later adapted into a star-studded 1975 film, sold more than 20 million copies. Brought to the stage in 1992 by The Who’s vocalist and guitarist Pete Townshend and Broadway director Des McAnuff, the musical debuted on Broadway to huge acclaim – running for 899 performances and later transferred to London’s West End, where it received three Olivier Awards. Packed with smash hits such as ‘Pinball Wizard’ and ‘Acid Queen’, the musical centres on traumatised young man Tommy whose troubling childhood has left him deaf, dumb and blind.

  • ANNUAL REPORT 2019/20 Fadi Kheir Fadi LETTERS from the LEADERSHIP
    ANNUAL REPORT 2019/20 Fadi Kheir Fadi LETTERS FROM THE LEADERSHIP The New York Philharmonic’s 2019–20 season certainly saw it all. We recall the remarkable performances ranging from Berlioz to Beethoven, with special pride in the launch of Project 19 — the single largest commissioning program ever created for women composers — honoring the ratification of the 19th Amendment. Together with Lincoln Center we unveiled specific plans for the renovation and re-opening of David Geffen Hall, which will have both great acoustics and also public spaces that can welcome the community. In March came the shock of a worldwide pandemic hurtling down the tracks at us, and on the 10th we played what was to be our final concert of the season. Like all New Yorkers, we tried to come to grips with the life-changing ramifications The Philharmonic responded quickly and in one week created NY Phil Plays On, a portal to hundreds of hours of past performances, to offer joy, pleasure, solace, and comfort in the only way we could. In August we launched NY Phil Bandwagon, bringing live music back to New York. Bandwagon presented 81 concerts from Chris Lee midtown to the far reaches of every one of the five boroughs. In the wake of the Erin Baiano horrific deaths of Black men and women, and the realization that we must all participate to change society, we began the hard work of self-evaluation to create a Philharmonic that is truly equitable, diverse, and inclusive. The severe financial challenge caused by cancelling fully a third of our 2019–20 concerts resulting in the loss of $10 million is obvious.

  • Mills, Richard Four Miniatures
    Four Miniatures (l992) Richard Mills “The opening gestures of this work contain all the elements of harmony and melody which form the textures of the later movements. Movements I and III are relatively darker in color than their counterparts and the formative gestures of the first miniature recur as a refrain in Miniature IV, whose more direct harmonies place them in a new context. Miniature II is toccata-like. Miniature III is an extended development of the material from Miniature I, the opening chord of which forms the climax point of Miniature III in an extended articulation across the range of the keyboard. Miniature IV is scherzando in quality and the piece concludes with a witty transformation of the opening gesture, ending with a wry comment from the piano. Four Miniatures was composed for the Verdehr Trio.” ─Richard Mills The world premiere of Four Miniatures was on September 29, 1992 at MacArthur Hall, Flint School of Performing Arts, Flint, Michigan. Richard Mills (born 1949, Toowoomba, Queensland) is one of Australia's most frequently commissioned and performed composers and a frequent guest conductor of Australia's leading orchestras. He went to Nudgee College in Brisbane and studied in London at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. He worked as a percussionist in England and with the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra. Mills’ compositions range from major orchestral and choral works to ballet music. He has been commissioned to write for the Victorian State Opera, Opera Australia, the Sydney Symphony, the Chicago Chamber Musicians Brass, the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, the Perth International Festival, the Commonwealth Games, the Olympic Games, and the Australian Bicentenary.

After practising alone for months, we have a deeper understanding that collaboration is at the essence of music, and that sharing this rewarding experience with the public is its most important gift to us all.

We are thrilled to perform for you in the Melbourne Town Hall! This performance featuring the University of Melbourne Concert Band and Wind Symphony, under the direction of Associate Professor Nicholas Williams, has been prepared with great enthusiasm and anticipation.
