Meet the Singers - Sunday, May 19 Tickets $25 - See Pages 4 & 5 Opera Company of Middlebury UPDATE Spring 2013 Notes from our Artistic Director Tchaikovsky is in our cultural DNA. Just the mention of Swan Lake, Sleeping Beauty, or The Nutcracker and I start to hear surging melodies and swirling harmonies. If you happened to catch the Champlain Philharmonic Orchestra’s superb reading of Tchaikovsky’s 5th Symphony at Town Hall Theater recently, you were reminded of this composer’s flair for drama and sheer beauty. You gotta love this guy. Long known for his orchestral works, many people are not aware that Tchaikovsky tried his hand at opera as well. He wrote eleven operas, but it is Eugene Onegin, based on the novel by Pushkin, that is acknowledged as his masterwork. His operas are tricky. The libretti are in Russian, of course, and American singers generally learn Italian, German and French, in that order. That may be why many opera lovers have never seen a production of this magnificent opera.All the more reason, then, for Opera Company of Middlebury to take up the challenge. We’ve developed a reputation in recent years for taking chances. In the past three years we’ve tackled Bizet’s The Pearl Fishers, Puccini’s La Rondine and Massenet’s Thaïs, none of which is standard fare and all of which were hugely successful for the company. Onegin will be our biggest challenge yet. We believe it deserves a full period production, with elaborate sets and detailed costumes. And, of course, our internationally known conductor, Maestro Emmanuel Plasson, will be on hand to bring out every texture and color in the score. Expect something magnificent. I know I say this every spring, but this year it feels especially true: I can’t wait to get started.

In April, he returned to the Vienna State Opera to star in the title role of Don Carlos, a role he has sung at the Metropolitan Opera and with the Met on tour in Japan. Stephanie Weiss, soprano, was Micaela in our Carmen. She now enjoys a European career mostly affiliated with the Deutsche Oper in Berlin. Two singers whose careers we expect to be long and glorious will also join us: Bevin Hill, mezzo-soprano, sang with OCM in The Pearl Fishers and La Rondine.

Fran Bull, internationally acclaimed artist, owner and founder of Gallery in-the-Field in Brandon, is our most recent board member. She is also an opera singer of some talent, having joined Meredith Parsons in a concert to benefit the Town Hall Theater at her gallery, and later hosted OCM’s charming production ofA Dinner Engagement. Her magnificent paintings formed the set for ourCarmen. Fran and Beth Thompson (a Founding Artist of OCM) performed a beautiful concert at THT a few seasons ago. Fran so enjoyed her participation in the auditions for our upcoming production of Eugene Onegin, she readily accepted the invitation to join the OCM Board. Sally Molnar and her husband Al moved to Middlebury this past summer from over the mountain. We didn’t give her any time before we invited her to serve on the OCM Board. Sally is passionate about opera, and she is extraordinarily knowledgeable. She has been active with the Green Mountain Opera Festival in Waitsfield, a professional opera company that performs at the Barre Opera House. In addition to her love of opera, she and Al can be seen on the slopes or bicycling along the byways. Pat Mraz jumped into board responsibility from day one as recording secretary. Undaunted, Pat enthusiastically embraces the world of opera. Pat has been active in the Middlebury community since 1977, when she and her family moved to Middlebury from Georgia, Vermont, to undertake the family business, Champlain Valley Apiaries. She is a lifelong educator, having been on the faculty of Georgia Elementary School, Champlain Valley Union High School, Leicester School and UVM Continuing Education. Pat has served on the Ilsley Library Board and the Chittenden South Technology Committee and currently serves on the State Board of Vermont Adult Learning. In Memoriam Are You a 2013 Member Yet?

Fran Delphia was helpful and creative in so many ways. As our webmaster, she built a website of which we are all so proud and that has attracted many compliments from opera singers and fans far and near. She will be missed. 3 Darik Knutsen Suzanne Bray Wilkins Kantorski-Merrill Meet the Singers Three days after they arrive in town, the cast of Eugene Onegin will be introduced to the community at our popular event “Meet the Singers.” This year, on Sunday, May 19, we will gather at the The Champlain Valley Unitarian Universalist Center, on the corner of Duane Court and Charles Avenue. Doors open at 4:30 pm for a pre-show beverage, then starting at 5 pm each singer will perform an aria of his or her choice, after which we will have the chance to visit with them over drinks and hors d’oeuvres.Tickets are on sale now at the Town Hall Theater Box Office, by telephone 802-382-9222, or online. Admission is $25 per person. townhalltheater.org. Adopt an Artist A wonderful way to support the Opera Company of Middlebury is to underwrite a singer, an orchestra member, or one of our Directors. (Both Directors have been adopted already.) Good friendships have developed from just such arrangements. Donors who adopt an artist will receive an invitation to a special reception to meet the cast, and will be invited to attend rehearsals. Contributions from $100 and up are welcome. Send check or credit card information to OCM or call Sally Molnar at 802-388-2668. Dawn Pierce Lisa Chavez Jenni Bank 4 Stephanie Benkert Michael Boley Jonathan Z. Harris Erik Kroncke Giliana Norkunas Barbara Paterson Olga Perez Flora Brad Raymond Paul Scholten 5 The Audition Process What We Look For in Our Singers by Scott Morrison There are a number of things we look/listen for when we go to New York to audition singers. First, of course, is the voice. Does the singer have the technique and vocal ‘sound’ that will fit our opera? Several times we heard a singer for our Eugene Onegin production and thought, ‘he doesn’t sound Russian’ or ‘her voice doesn’t have the right timbre for the heroine, Tatiana’. A singer for our productions doesn’t have to have the largest voice in the world because Town Hall Theater is small compared to other opera houses, and sometimes we eliminate a singer because the voice is too big. Since we present operas in a venue that allows singers to be right in front of us, not football fields away, we want singers to have the look of our characters.

  • Renowned Singers Yonghoon Lee and Karah Son Lead Otelloin Sydney
    MEDIA RELEASE 7 June 2021 Verdi | Directed by Harry Kupfer | Conducted by Andrea Battistoni Renowned singers Yonghoon Lee and Karah Son lead Otello in Sydney July 16 - 29, 2021 | Joan Sutherland Theatre, Sydney Opera House Starring | Yonghoon Lee | Karah Son | Marco Vratogna This winter Opera Australia is presenting legendary German director Harry Kupfer’s highly acclaimed production of Otello, one of Verdi’s most magnificent works, with three internationally renowned singers leading a stellar cast. Distilled from Shakespeare’s masterpiece, Otello is an intense chamber-like piece that explores all the problems of the world, concentrated in the lives of the three main characters: Otello, Desdemona and Iago, three of Verdi’s most demanding roles, both vocally and dramatically. Internationally celebrated South Korean tenor Yonghoon Lee will, for the first time in his career, take on the titular role of war hero Otello. In his review of Lee’s 2016 Met performance in Mascagni’s Cavalleria Rusticana, Dr Neil Kurtzman labelled Lee’s voice “exceptional” and “large” and predicted the role of Otello would be in his future, noting Lee has a “beautiful spinto voice that he uses with great skill and sensitivity; it’s bright and rings”1. Having performed at prestigious opera houses all over the world, Lee debuted with Opera Australia in 2013 in the lead role of Cavaradossi in Giacomo Puccini’s Tosca and has since returned to Australia multiple times, most recently to play Don Jose in Georges Bizet’s Carmen early last year (before it closed prematurely due to COVID 19). The incomparable Karah Son, whose captivating performance made OA’s Madama Butterfly a must-see in 2019, is expected to give a performance that is just as compelling in her long-awaited debut as Desdemona.

  • Opera Company of Middlebury UPDATE Fall 2013
    Opera Company of Middlebury UPDATE Fall 2013 From our Artistic Director Douglas Anderson A lot of comic opera isn’t very funny. Granted, in the largest sense “comedy” simply means that everything ends well. You know the drill: the good guys win, the bad guys are punished, and they throw in a couple of marriages for good measure. But I like comic opera to be We received a lot of laughs a few years back with our production of Rossini’s Barber of Seville every day to work with his music. That music—effervescent, irreverent, and faster than all get out—accomplishes a very rare thing. Even if you don’t understand the Italian lyrics, the music makes you laugh. The music alone can carry an audience (and a cast of singers) to a giddy height. I was determined to get back to Rossini, especially as our recent productions have been in the heavier, more tragic repertory. So next June Maestro Plasson and I will tackle Rossini’s L’Italiana in Algeri (An Italian Girl in Algiers), which to my mind is one of the funniest operas ever written. Someone once said that if the Three Stooges had written an opera libretto, it would look something like L’Italiana. (Continued on Page 6) From our Music Director Emmanuel Plasson Rossini’s operatic music has this wonderful sparkly and bouncy spirit to it that can inspire and excite our audiences. It doesn’t only offer a fantastic showcase for singers but also L’Italiana in Algeri is one of Rossini’s most accomplished and brilliant comic operas.

  • Saturday, October 6Th 2018 REX Movie Theatre of Agios Nikolaos Time 19:55 Admission: 15€ (General)
    Saturday, October 6th 2018 REX Movie Theatre of Agios Nikolaos Time 19:55 Admission: 15€ (General) Metropolitan Opera of New York Aida (Guiseppe Verdi) In what should be a highlight of the new season, soprano Anna Netrebko sings her first Met Aida, going toe-to-toe with mezzo-soprano Anita Rachvelishvili as Amneris. Later in the season, a second star-studded cast takes over, with Sondra Radvanovsky and Dolora Zajick as the leading ladies.Tenors Aleksandrs Antonenko and Yonghoon Lee alternate as Radamès, and Nicola Luisotti and Plácido Domingo take the podium for the Met’s monumental production. Synopsis: Aida (Guiseppe Verdi) The libretto indicates merely that the opera takes place in “ancient Egypt, in the time of the pharaohs.” This may sound vague, but it was a clear direction to approach the drama as myth rather than anthropology or history. Act I Egypt, during the reign of the pharaohs. At the royal palace in Memphis, the high priest Ramfis tells the warrior Radamès that Ethiopia is preparing another attack against Egypt. Radamès hopes to command his army. He is in love with Aida, the Ethiopian slave of Princess Amneris, the king’s daughter, and he believes that victory in the war would enable him to free her and marry her. But Amneris loves Radamès, and when the three meet, she jealously senses his feelings for Aida. A messenger tells the king of Egypt and the assembled priests and soldiers that the Ethiopians are advancing. The king names Radamès to lead the army, and all join in a patriotic anthem.

  • ROH Winter Programme to Open with Tosca in January 2021 Featuring a Stellar Cast Led by Operatic Superstar Anna Netrebko
    Monday 7 December ROH Winter Programme to open with Tosca in January 2021 featuring a stellar cast led by operatic superstar Anna Netrebko Today the Royal Opera House is delighted to announce that The Royal Opera’s Winter 2020/21 Programme will open with 12 performances of Puccini's Tosca. The revival of Jonathan Kent’s 2006 production will see one of the most captivating opera singers of our time, Anna Netrebko, return to the stage at Covent Garden. Puccini’s operatic thriller – one of the great opera experiences – will be the first fully staged production of an opera at Covent Garden since lockdown in March 2020. Running from Wednesday 13 January to Saturday 13 March, the production will also be live streamed for audiences across the globe on Friday 22 January. Opening on 13 January, Dan Ettinger will conduct the star cast including Anna Netrebko, leading tenor Yusif Eyvazov and world-renowned bass-baritone Gerald Finley. On 15, 18, 21, 23 January, Spanish soprano Saioa Hernández will sing the title role, with South Korean tenor Yonghoon Lee reviving the role of Cavaradossi in which he made his Royal Opera debut in the 2012/13 Season. Lithuanian bass-baritone Kostas Smoriginas, a former member of the Jette Parker Young Artists Programme, will perform the role of Baron Scarpia. As Tosca returns to Covent Garden in March, British conductor Alexander Soddy will make his ROH debut conducting Swedish soprano Malin Byström, British-Italian tenor Freddie De Tommaso - who makes his role debut as Mario Cavaradossi - and German baritone Michael Volle. The three casts are joined by the Royal Opera Chorus, former and current members of the Jette Parker Young Artist Programme and the Orchestra of the Royal Opera House.
