Through the timeless power of voice, acting that brings characters to life in triumph and tragedy, the splendor of a great orchestra and chorus – coupled with theater, dance, design, and truly magical stagecraft – Lyric is devoted to immersing audiences in worlds both familiar and unexpected, creating shared experiences that resonate long after the curtain comes down. We’re so glad you’re here. Kyle Flubacker Lyric Opera of Chicago | 6 Welcome to your Lyric Lyric Opera of Chicago | 7 From the Chairman and the General Director Opera at its best takes the universal themes of humanity and brings them to life in the space and time of a live performance. Few universally popular operas have had as harrowing a premiere as Madama Butterfly, which met with a disastrous reception on its 1904 opening night in Milan. The public, believing Giacomo Puccini was borrowing music from his own La bohème, hooted with derision. Frequently the singers could barely hear the orchestra, the noise in the theater was so overwhelming. Throughout the performance, that audience found every possible reason to ridicule the music and what transpired onstage. Just a few months later, everything changed when Puccini’s revised version was introduced in Brescia, launching the work on a conquest of opera houses worldwide. Indeed, over the past 116 years Madama Butterfly has become one of the best-loved operas in the repertoire. And yet, in today’s world, this work prompts a range of issues and questions, to which any company producing the opera must respond. We want to strongly encourage you to read the articles in this program by Prof. Martha C. Nussbaum of The University of Chicago and soprano Ana María Martínez. Their views provide illuminating insight as we consider Madama Butterfly with today’s lens, while at the same time continuing the Lyric tradition of captivating audiences with Puccini’s breathtaking music and heartbreaking characters. It’s a pleasure to welcome two remarkable singing actresses, Lyric favorite Ana María Martínez and, in the March 4 and 7 performances, Lianna Haroutounian in her Lyric debut. They’ve both triumphed repeatedly in major houses portraying Cio-Cio-San, one of the most formidably challenging of all leading soprano roles. Each soprano will be partnered at Lyric by an exceptional tenor portraying Lt. B. F. Pinkerton, with Ana María appearing opposite Brian Jagde and Lianna opposite Brandon Jovanovich. With the crucial support of Deborah Nansteel as Suzuki and Ryan Opera Center alumnus Anthony Clark Evans as Sharpless, the interpretive insights of returning conductor Henrik Nánási on the podium, and the exquisitely sensitive production of Michael Grandage (revived at Lyric by Louisa Muller) – so successful when we first presented it in 2013|14 – this will certainly be a memorable occasion for all who experience one of these performances. As we present Madama Butterfly, we’ve just passed the midpoint in a season of exciting transition and transformation. Like so many arts organizations nationwide, Lyric is addressing the growing competition for audience attention and donor investment. We’re working diligently, and creatively, to expand our audience base, grow ticket sales, secure new sources of revenue, and engage the communities we serve – and we’ve seen significant success from these endeavors. Our ability to fill the house for grand-opera performances is, in fact, unusually high among large American opera companies, which we help accomplish through our season-planning process and adoption of innovative marketing strategies. Our community programs devoted to learning and creative engagement now reach more than 86,000 people each season in schools and neighborhoods throughout Chicago and the suburbs. As we look ahead, all of us at Lyric, onstage and behind the scenes, will continue to build on this progress. We’re confident that we’re on the right path, and we thank you for your support of everything we do. In closing, we welcome you to Madama Butterfly. We know it will be an unforgettable highlight of your operagoing this season. DAVID T.

In this Drama, each separate art can only bare its utmost secret to their common public through a mutual connection with the other arts; the purpose being that each separate branch of art can only be fully attained by the reciprocal agreement and co-operation of all the branches in their common message.” Richard Wagner, The Art-Work of the Future “Work, work, work, work, work, work.” Rihanna, ANTI Opera has conjured images of grandeur from its very beginnings in late-16th-century Florence, but it’s worth remembering that the word “opera” itself simply means “work” in Italian.

  • An Amphitheater and Outdoor Exhibit Space for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
    Music in the Landscape: An amphitheater and outdoor exhibit space for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Undergraduate Thesis: Christopher L. Arnold Spring 2005 1 Table of Contents Overview Project Scope Manifesto Operational Objectives Users Activities Context Programming Activity Areas Case Studies Site Studies Installation Studies Technological Studies Site Introduction Analysis Pictures Clevelands Harborfront Plan Map References Concepts Analysis Schematic Master Plan Analysis Final Master Plan Detail perspectives Annotated Bibliography 2 Overview Information is flowing around us constantly passing through the air; transmitting information, phone calls and Emails. Our interaction with digital media is becoming increasingly prevalent in our day-to-day lives and continues to permeate our offices, homes and play spaces. Yet few designs begin to interface with media and the processing or transmittal of information between the user and the surfaces, which define our world. This study proposes to create an outdoor digital landscape, which is part of a larger performance area. This space utilizes digital media to allow speakers, musical groups, and other performers another dimension to express their material. The performance space and digital presentation area should be viewed as an entire experience away from that of reality. The goal of the project is to continue to blur the lines between information and form, and to play with what we conceive of as reality. The project will provide an outlet for digital artists as well as a chance to experiment with form, space and information and our ability as humans to influence process and transmit information between surfaces. Music will be the ignition for this process; extracting bits of data and information from musical pieces and applying that to the design of this space.

  • "Infidelity" As an "Act of Love": Patrick Marber's After Miss Julie (1995) As a Rewrite of August Strindberg's Miss Julie (1888)
    "Infidelity" as an "Act of Love": Patrick Marber's After Miss Julie (1995) as a Rewrite of August Strindberg's Miss Julie (1888). مسـرحيــة After Miss Julie للكاتب البريطاني باتريك ماربر كإعادة إبداع لمسرحية Miss Julie للكاتب السويدي أوجست ستريندبرج Dr. Reda Shehata associate professor Department of English - Zagazig University د. رضا شحاته أستاذ مساعد بقسم اللغة اﻹنجليزية كلية اﻵداب - جامعة الزقازيق "Infidelity" as an "Act of Love" Patrick Marber's After Miss Julie (1995) "Infidelity" as an "Act of Love": Patrick Marber's After Miss Julie (1995) as a Rewrite of August Strindberg's Miss Julie (1888). Abstract Depending on Linda Hutcheon's notion of adaptation as "a creative and interpretative act of appropriation" and David Lane's concept of the updated "context of the story world in which the characters are placed," this paper undertakes a critical examination of Patrick Marber's After Miss Julie (1995) as a creative rewrite of August Strindberg's Miss Julie (1888). The play appears to be both a faithful adaptation and appropriation of its model, reflecting "matches" for certain features of it and "mismatches" for others. So in spite of Marber's different language, his adjustment of the "temporal and spatial dimensions" of the original, and his several additions and omissions, he retains the same theme, characters, and—to a considerable extent, plot. To some extent, he manages to stick to his master's brand of Naturalism by retaining the special form of conflict upon which the action is based. In addition to its depiction of the failure of post-war class system, it shows strong relevancy to the spirit of the 1990s, both in its implicit critique of some aspects of feminism (especially its call for gender equality) and its bold address of the masculine concerns of that period.

    North Stage Door - Episode 1 Transcript Released 4/22/2021 CHRIS LARGENT: Hey there, let me take you off this busy main road of Van Ness Avenue, follow me through this parklet. I’m going to bring you into the secret world - not accessible to the general public...The North Stage Door! Welcome to San Francisco Opera's new podcast! I'm your host, Chris Largent and I'm delighted to sweep you into this massive hive of creativity, stagecraft and performance at one of opera’s most exciting companies. Along the way, we’ll meet singers, directors, designers -- and some surprise guests; like Pixar’s Chief Creative Officer and Academy Award Winning Director Pete Docter, and internationally acclaimed opera star Patricia Racette. In normal times, walking around backstage, there would be a flurry of activity. But, it's not really happening like that this year...our stage has been dark. Our season? Canceled. This moment of social distancing has given us time to reflect -- how can this venerable artform that is entirely dependent on precision planning, hundreds and hundreds of people from different disciplines collaborating behind the scenes, and thousands in the audience --- how might this artform of opera adapt to a different reality, yet still adhere to restrictions necessary to keep everyone safe? How can we satisfy the craving we’re all feeling... to experience opera live and come together as a community again? Luckily, San Francisco Opera is in the process of answering this question with a production of Barber of Seville that is unlike any other --and is taking shape as I speak.
