  • La Fanciulla Del West Opens Minnesota Opera's 2014-2015
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: 20 AUGUST 2014 CONTACT: JULIE BEHR. 612-342-1612, [email protected] La fanciulla del West opens Minnesota Opera’s 2014-2015 season on September 20 A free, festive outdoor simulcast of opening night’s performance is open to the public in Rice Park Minneapolis – Puccini's La fanciulla del West (The Girl of the Golden West), opera's first "Spaghetti Western," opens Minnesota Opera's 2014-2015 season on September 20, led by Music Director Michael Christie and a powerful trio: Claire Rutter, Rafael Davila, and Greer Grimsley. The drama and excitement of opening night inside Ordway will extend outdoors that evening with a free, live video simulcast under the stars in Rice Park. From the Italian master who wrote La bohème, Madame Butterfly, and Turandot comes a romantic portrait of America’s iconic Golden West. Puccini’s gorgeous melodies and blazing orchestral colors are set against a backdrop of a gold-mining frontier town, where a poker-playing, pistol-wielding saloon owner finds herself in a love triangle with a handsome outlaw and the sheriff who is in hot pursuit of him. Considered by Puccini as one of his greatest works, La fanciulla del West (The Girl of the Golden West) had its successful and highly publicized premiere at the Metropolitan Opera in 1910. Soprano Claire Rutter, who was hailed as “blest with a powerful stage presence and a top-end coloratura like warm steel” by Classical Source, makes her Minnesota Opera debut as the high- spirited Minnie. Tenor Rafael Davila also debuts with the company as the bandit Dick Johnson, who was applauded by Bachtrack as "a real revelation ..

  • “Can't Help Singing”: the “Modern” Opera Diva In
    “CAN’T HELP SINGING”: THE “MODERN” OPERA DIVA IN HOLLYWOOD FILM, 1930–1950 Gina Bombola A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Music in the College of Arts and Sciences. Chapel Hill 2017 Approved by: Annegret Fauser Tim Carter Mark Katz Chérie Rivers Ndaliko Jocelyn Neal ©2017 Gina Bombola ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Gina Bombola: “Can’t Help Singing”: The “Modern” Opera Diva in Hollywood Film, 1930–1950 (Under the direction of Annegret Fauser) Following the release of Columbia Pictures’ surprise smash hit, One Night of Love (1934), major Hollywood studios sought to cash in on the public’s burgeoning interest in films featuring opera singers. For a brief period thereafter, renowned Metropolitan Opera artists such as Grace Moore and Lily Pons fared well at the box office, bringing “elite” musical culture to general audiences for a relatively inexpensive price. By the 1940s, however, the studios began grooming their own operatic actresses instead of transplanting celebrities from the stage. Stars such as Deanna Durbin, Kathryn Grayson, and Jane Powell thereby became ambassadors of opera from the highly commercial studio lot. My dissertation traces the shifts in film production and marketing of operatic singers in association with the rise of such cultural phenomena as the music-appreciation movement, all contextualized within the changing social and political landscapes of the United States spanning the Great Depression to the Cold War. Drawing on a variety of methodologies—including, among others, archival research, film analysis, feminist criticisms, and social theory—I argue that Hollywood framed opera as less of a European theatrical art performed in elite venues and more of a democratic, albeit still white, musical tradition that could be sung by talented individuals in any location.

  • Sharon Searles – Opera Singer, College Professor, Golfer
    Know Your Neighbor By Tim Palmer Sharon Searles – Opera Singer, College Professor, Golfer I will have to admit – I’m in over my head on this article. While I have been exposed to a variety of experiences in my short life, the arts didn’t get much time in my schedule and I am, therefore, woefully ignorant of the time and discipline required to succeed as an actor, painter or operatic performer. Fortunately for me, my conversation with Sharon Searles gave me a new appreciation for training and practice required to be a success in the dramatic arts. Sharon Searles’ life has been about singing. Born in Memphis, Tennessee as the middle of six children, Sharon has been in a musical environment her entire life. Both of her parents were active in musical activities at church – her father as the choir director and mother as organist. Her father owned his own plastics company, but was known for his interest in music and talent as a singer. As a result, his penchant for music permeated the family environment, where classical music was the only music allowed in the house. Sharon started piano at age six but didn’t become serious about singing until the eighth grade when she participated in stage performances. It wasn’t until high school that her voice changed dramatically and with that change came a very operatic sound. While singing was becoming an increasingly important part of her life, it was just one of many interests she had at that time. Sharon’s unique voice caught the ear of her teachers and they encouraged her to seek a music scholarship.
