Akina Doing a single opera from Wagner’s massive four opera cycle, The Ring of the Nibelungen, skews the perspectives given by the entire David & Verne Takagi cycle. In the Ring Cycle sequence, Die Walküre follows the salute the monumental prologue of The Rheingold. It is the first day that gives us important insight into the all-too-human side of Wagner’s king of the gods. Like no Hawaii Opera Theatre other opera in the Cycle, Die Walküre (when performed alone) is foremost about the in its 50th season, failure of Wotan’s vision and Brünnhilde’s attempt to transform that vision into a positive human fate. We are left not knowing if they will be successful. In the rest of the Cycle inspiring us with works the answer is negative: Götterdämmerung or Ragnarok, as it is called in Norse mythology, of the highest caliber does come. But as a single opera, the end of this vision is left open. and helping to make Wotan’s vision has been successfully thwarted by his necessary allegiance to Fricka and the institutions of civilization that she represents. He is forced to forswear his own mortal Honolulu the offspring, Siegmund, from whom he expects a heroism that will save him, the gods, and artistic center mankind from the curse of the Niebelung Alberich. He is forced to bid goodbye to a daughter who is possibly the only being in the universe who truly understands him. The of the Pacific. king of the gods finds himself in an all too human situation, and after all he is Wagner’s creation: a momumental testament to the trials encountered by man trying to construct civilization and, at the same time, rebel against it.

  • The Ballad of Baby Doe Will Be Heard This Week in a Cleveland Opera Production
    Baby Doe Is An Opera Rich In Americana by Robert Finn, Music Critic The Cleveland Plain Dealer Sunday, March 29, 1992 A good many European musicians-most prominently Antonin Dvorak-have wondered publicly why American composers did not draw more inspiration from this country's rich store of legend and history. One composer who heeded that advice was former Clevelander Douglas Moore, whose popular opera The Ballad of Baby Doe will be heard this week in a Cleveland Opera production. In addition to making this opera out of the true story of Horace Tabor and young Elizabeth (Baby Doe) McCourt, Moore also composed operas about Daniel Webster and Carrie Nation. His most popular orchestra piece is called The Pageant of P.T. Barnum. Moore wrote Baby Doe on a commission from the Koussevitzky Music Foundation in the mid-l950s. It was premiered in 1956 in Central City, Colorado, and was taken up the next season by the New York City Opera in a celebrated production starring Beverly Sills. The story is a conventional love triangle in the distinctively American setting of 1880s Colorado. Horace Tabor, a venturesome Vermonter who struck it rich in the western gold fields, deserts his somewhat formidable wife for the charms of the young and flirtatious Baby Doe. Eventually the two are married, scandal ensues and Tabor is impoverished by the abandonment of silver as the standard for U.S. currency. The last scene is a flashback and flash-forward, showing Baby Doe, now a white-haired old woman, freezing to death years later at the entrance to the played-out silver mine.

This is our 3rd season and in our short history this is the most ambitious season ever. Since the beginning, our artistic mission has been to present local and international artists who are acclaimed in chamber music, vocal and instrumental recitals, jazz and theater/opera, all at an affordable price. We also wanted to bring high-quality music programming and performing arts to the Sunset district of San Francisco. We are proud of the relationships we have forged between us and the artists, as wells as between the artists and you, our audience, and of the many donors and partnerships that has helped make Sunset Music & Arts a cultural hub in the Sunset district and the San Francisco Bay area. Some of the highlights of the new season include performances by several returning artists as well as many new artists. We are especially proud to add a piano recital series and a choral series to our programming. Heading the piano series is pianist-composer Eric Tran and pianist Robyn Carmichael. Our choral series features the Monaco Boys Choir, Masterworks Serenade (director Dr. Bryan Baker), and the San Francisco Renaissance Voices (director Katherine McKee). We are also proud to announce a 3-part ‘East meets West’ series that feature musicians who uniquely meld music from Western and Eastern classical traditions to produce unique new compositions. Artists include violinist Lucian Balmer, sitarist Joanna Mack, tabla percussionist Josh Mellinger, bansuri master Deepak Ram, and Carnatic vocalist Gautam Ganeshan.

  • Below Is the Complete Narration, Delivered
    Below is the complete narration, delivered by David Kanzeg, at the Champagne Wedding Tea at the nd Willard InterContinenal Hotel in Washington, D.C., on Sunday afternoon, October 22 , 2006. The narration provided the context for excerpts of the opera The Ballad of Baby Doe, by Douglas Moore and John LaTouche, performed by apprentices from the Washington National Opera. *********************************************************************************************************************** Once upon a time…in a land far away…there was a beautiful princess….Well, maybe not a princess. But almost. Today we’ll hear about an American-style fairy tale, full of gold and diamonds and silver. Lots of silver. Ladies and gentlemen, I'm Dave Kanzeg, your host for this afternoon. And I'd like to welcome you to this special performance, honoring the 20th anniversary of the reopening of this magnificent building, and in celebration of the unique place that the Willard InterContinental Hotel has occupied in the life of this city since Henry and Edwin Willard started the ball rolling back in 1850. Our program will not only occupy this beautiful room via a performance, but it's also inextricably connected to this space in both historical AND musical terms. To students of Colorado history, the Willard th Hotel is a turning point in the life of the 19 -century’s most colorful silver baron. To opera fans, who may have no inkling that such a place exists in the present day, the Willard Hotel is the setting of the closing scene of the First Act of one of the most performed American operas. The fact that it still sits here, in real th life, at the corner of 14 and Pennsylvania, is the unique reality we’ve come here today to celebrate.
