Her downfall comes because she actually does fall in love, something a woman of her station should never aspire to in the eyes of society, certainly not in the eyes of her peers. She is surrounded by a fascinating rogue’s gallery that stands in for society as a whole. And what of the other women who are like her? La Traviata is their story too. What of Annina’s fierce loyalty? What does Flora feel about her colleague taking a much younger lover and enjoying herself in the country while others of her kind are left to comb the wintery demi-monde of the big city called Paris?

    Opera San José presents The Irene Dalis Memorial Concert PAGE 1 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Press Contact: March 10, 2015 Bryan Ferraro 408.423.2229 [email protected] Opera San José presents The Irene Dalis Memorial Concert SAN JOSE, CA – Opera San José is hosting a memorial concert for its former general director and founder, Irene Dalis, at the California Theatre on May 16, 2015 at 8 p.m. The concert will feature arias and ensembles performed by over 20 current and former members of Opera San José’s resident company, accompanied by the Opera San José Orchestra and Chorus. A dramatic mezzo soprano, Dalis was admired internationally for her vocal richness and fiery dramatic presence. Among her most notable roles were Amneris in Verdi's Aida and Princess Eboli in his Don Carlo, as well as Isolde in Wagner’s Tristan und Isolde and Kundry in his Parsifal, and Richard Strauss’ Klytaemnestra in Elektra and the Nurse in Die Frau ohne Schatten. After retiring from the Met in 1976, Dalis returned to San José and became a professor of music at San José State University. In 1984, she formed Opera San José, the only resident opera company in the United States. Dalis retired from Opera San José in 2014 and the Opera San José board of trustees selected Larry Hancock to take over as general director. Dalis’s last wish was that there be no memorial service, but she did allow a fundraising concert in her memory. That concert will include: Eilana Lappalainen, Soprano: Lappalainen served as a member of the resident company from 1988 to 1992.

  • INTRODUCTION and LITERATURE REVIEW a Subject
    CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION AND LITERATURE REVIEW A Subject for Our Time I want plots that are great, beautiful, varied, daring ... daring to an extreme, new in form and at the same time adapted to composing. If a person says I have done thus and so because Romani, Cammarano, and others did so ... then we no longer understand each other. Precisely because of the fact that those great men did it that way, I should like to have something different done. I shall have La Dame aux Camélias performed in Venice. It will perhaps be called La Traviata. A subject from our own time. Another person would perhaps not have composed it because of the costumes, because of the period, because of a thousand other foolish objections. I did it with particular pleasure. Everybody cried out when I proposed to put a hunchback on the stage. Well, I was overjoyed to compose Rigoletto, and it was just the same with Macbeth, and so on ...1 The plot of La traviata centres on its eponymous heroine Violetta and the development of her character whose posizione must be projected musically.2 Verdi used the term posizione to describe the plot-and-character-driven gesture which must be ‘articulated musically’.3 According to Gilles de Van, it ‘arises from a particular moment in the plot; a situation [posizione] almost invariably corresponds to a phase in 1 Werfel, Franz and Stefan, Paul, Verdi: The Man in His Letters, trans. Edward Downes (New York: Vienna House, 1973), p. 373. 2 The term posizione and other Italian terms and expressions will be found in the Glossary at the end of this thesis.

What follows is a guide that we hope you and your students find useful, as we explore Giuseppe Verdi’s Il Trovatore. In the spirit of exploration, we have included various lessons that connect Il Trovatore with different subjects of learning. The lessons reference the new Colorado Department of Education’s Academic Standards: specifically, focusing on the fourth grade expectations. This does not mean, however, that these lessons should be limited to this age group. While we would be very pleased if you used these lessons in the exact format provided, we encourage you to expand, alter, and adapt these lessons so that they best fit your students’ abilities and development. After all, the teacher knows their student’s needs best. We would appreciate your feedback on our teacher evaluation form found at the end of this guide, and we hope that you enjoy all that Opera Colorado has to offer! Ciao! - Cherity Koepke - Director of Education & Community Programs - Meghan Benedetto - Manager of Education & Community Programs - Amelia Newport - Education Intern 2 Contact us to learn more! Opera Colorado’s Education & Community Programs department offers many more programs to assist your students as they continue to discover the world of opera.

    Opera in the 21st Century Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity in association with Against the Grain Theatre and Opera Columbus Presents Orphée+ An electronic, baroque burlesque descent into hell_ Winner of 5 Dora Awards including Outstanding Production July 12 & 14, 2018 7:30 PM Eric Harvie Theatre #BanffOpera Welcome to Opera Week! It is my absolute pleasure to welcome you all back to another season of Opera at Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity. This is my fifth summer as Artistic Director of “Opera in the 21st Century”. I am very proud of this season. Our opera program continues to grow and expand year to year. This summer, we welcomed 27 participants from all over the world to come and experience opera at Banff Centre. We offered positions to 14 singers, 9 instrumentalists, 2 pianists, an assistant conductor and an assistant director. This is our second season welcoming instrumentalists, which I believe is unique to any opera program that exists. The reason is to foster a new, more theatrical orchestral musician, who is integrated with the action of the music and performance practice. We supported these participants by providing a world class faculty to work with them on all the skills needed to not only survive but thrive in the world of arts in 2018. Our programming this summer is perhaps our most daring yet. Our Chamber Werx series explored the interaction between intimate music and the ways we communicate with an audience in the 21st century. I believe strongly in the need to connect with our communities. We had over-capacity audiences at both our #OperaPub series at the Royal Canadian Legion #26 Colonel Moore Branch in Banff and held community concerts for the Elderly in both Banff and Artsplace in Canmore.
