It still requires some commitment to knowledge and it rarely has a beat, but there’s just so much of Lady Gaga a human being can enjoy/tolerate without needing to be touched in a slightly deeper place.” – Robert Levine in Weep, Shudder, Die: A Guide to Loving Opera Books for New Opera Fans Author/Editor Title David Pogue and Scott Peck Opera for Dummies (Yep, that’s the David Pogue who covers personal technology for the New York Times.

  • A History of Opera: Old and New Perspectives – 1-Day Seminar
    A HISTORY OF OPERA: OLD AND NEW PERSPECTIVES – 1-DAY SEMINAR JOHN GIBBONS [email protected] WWW.HOLDEKUNST.COM Not only is the history of opera supremely entertaining, it offers a unique cultural mirror, a barometer of European and American societal evolution. This class examines the great operas, singers, and productions, assessing the operatic canon from musical, historical, and social viewpoints. Great masterpieces from Mozart, Verdi, Wagner, Puccini and others are presented with many recent, but also archival performances on CD and DVD, exploring this frequently exhilarating, moving, and often provocative art. RECOMMENDED READING A History of Opera By Carolyn Abbate and Roger Parker While no readings are required, I highly recommend this book. It is readable, entertaining, accessible to the general public, and right on point in connection with “old and new perspectives.” In fact, this book was a considerable influence in the design of this course. I will recommend other books as specific topics arise in the course. Books for New Opera Fans Author/Editor Title David Pogue and Scott Peck Opera for Dummies (Yep, that’s the David Pogue who covers personal technology for the New York Times and other organizations.

Alwyn Mellor is singing the role of Brünnhilde in the Seattle Ring in 2013 rather than 2012 as stated. She will not be appearing in Götterdämmerung at Longborough next year because she was already cast as Sieglinde in Opera North’s Die Walküre . Apologies go to anyone who may have been inconvenienced or embarrassed by these inaccuracies which crept in to the “News of Young Artists” item. A big apology is due in particular to Chris Argent, whose review of Tony Palmer’s DVD The Wagner Family began with a repeat appearance of the opening lines of Ewen Harris’ review of the cinema relay of Die Walküre from the New York Metropolitan Opera.

  • No. 106, December 2006 in MEMORIAM
    No. 106, December 2006 IN MEMORIAM Astrid Varnay & Anna Russell – two memorable performers – see report on page 5. A letter to Members Dear Members This is my final report for 2006. I hope this newsletter finds you all in good health, having survived the bunfight of 2006 year-end activities and ready for another scorching antipodean summer, and for 2007’s Wagner treats. Locally, so far as we can tell from the published programmes of Australian opera companies and orchestras, Wagner performances are limited to the Australian Opera’s performances of Tannhäuser and the Sydney Symphony Orchestra’s performances of the Siegfried Idyll. The closest item of interest is in Wellington, where the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra is following up the success of this year’s semi-staged Parsifal performances with an all-Wagner concert on Friday, 7 September 2007, including Margaret Medlyn singing the Liebestod from Tristan und Isolde and the Immolation from Götterdämmerung. Further afield, and much more colourful and exotic, the Bangkok Opera is staging Die Walküre in July 2007. Peter Bassett is leading a tour which includes a performance on Thursday 26 July. He writes “The Bangkok production emphasises the universal nature of Wagner’s work by linking it to Thai experience and to the Hindu and Buddhist philosophies that Wagner regarded so highly during the last three decades of his life. The Artistic Director of Bangkok Opera, Somtow Sucharitkul, approaches the work from a distinctively Asian perspective, and the result is intriguing and surprising.” Functions On 17 September, members who had been to Bayreuth in 2006 reported on the performances and in particular on the new Dorst/ Thielemann Ring, and on Bayreuth’s new Brünnhilde, Linda Watson.
