Lenfest Fund of The Philadelphia Foundation Introducing Proving Up A CONVERSATION WITH MISSY MAZZOLI AND ROYCE VAVREK Tuesday, September 25, 6:30 p.m. | Lenfest Center for the Arts On the eve of the New York premiere of their newest opera, Proving Up, the dynamic creative duo sits down with Associate Dean and Executive Director Melissa Smey to talk about the project, their creative process, and their inspiration. Free and open to the public. Registration opens in September. Co-Presented by Columbia University School of the Arts and Miller Theatre Proving Up SYNOPSIS Somewhere in the plains of the young U.S. State of Nebraska, 1868 The Zegners – Ma, Pa, and their two young sons Peter and Miles – have moved to Nebraska from the east coast following the Civil War, prompted by the passing of the U.S. Homestead Act, the lure of large parcels of land, and a new prosperous life in the American West. As they face drought, famine, and the loss of their two daughters, they cling to the American dream of “proving up” through land ownership. PART 1: The family tells of the official requirements needed to obtain the title to the homestead, the most elusive condition being that one’s home must have a glass window. Johannes “Pa” Zegner, being in possession of the only glass window in the region, agrees to share it with his neighbors as a farmer’s act of generosity. Ma tends to Peter, her oldest son who has suffered an unfortunate accident. PART 2: Pa tells of rumors that an Inspector is on his way to hand out land titles, and convinces Ma to send their youngest Miles on a journey to lend the window out to their neighbors. He hopes to entice the Inspector back to their land so he can finally claim ownership of their homestead. PART 3: The sisters sing from beyond the grave to reveal that Pa stole the window from the neighboring Yothers’ homestead after the family vanished without a trace. This disappearance is made even stranger since the Yothers had successfully obtained their land’s title weeks earlier. PART 4: Ma wakes at night to pray for rain and mourn the loss of her daughters. Miles secretly watches her. PART 5: Miles begins his journey. The route is dangerous and difficult; he encounters a rainstorm that turns into a sudden blizzard. His horse, Nore, is blinded by the snow and throws Miles from her back. Miles passes out from pain and exhaustion. PART 6: Miles wakes to discover a dirty, disoriented sodbuster sitting next to him. The man holds out a copy of the Home- stead Act and tells Miles that he needs the glass window to obtain his title. Miles hesitates but the man is insistent, and he eventually steals the window. Miles fights back. The man tells Miles that he knows the window doesn’t actually belong to him, that it was stolen by his father. Miles panics as he hears the malicious laughter of his dead sisters. PART 7: Ma and Pa are overjoyed as they see a figure in the distance, convinced that it is Miles returning home. Their joy turns to horror as they realize their mistake. The dead sisters return to their graves with new company. Proving Up CREATIVE TEAM Missy Mazzoli COMPOSER Adam Rigg SCENIC DESIGNER Royce Vavrek LIBRETTIST Chrisi Karvonides-Dushenko COSTUME DESIGNER Christopher Rountree CONDUCTOR Pablo Santiago LIGHTING DESIGNER James Darrah PRODUCTION Ronell Oliveri WIG & MAKEUP DESIGNER Nathan Troup DIRECTOR MISSY MAZZOLI, composer | As an established composer on the contemporary music scene, Missy Mazzoli inhabits an exquisite and mysterious sound-world that melds indie-rock sensibilities with formal training from Louis Andriessen, David Lang, Aaron Jay Kernis, Richard Ayres, and others. Missy Mazzoli’s music has been performed all over the world by the BBC Symphony, Kronos Quartet, JACK Quartet, eighth blackbird, LA Opera, Los Angeles Philharmonic, Sydney Symphony, and Opera Philadel- phia, among others. Her music has been featured at numerous festivals including the BBC Proms, Bang on a Can Marathon and Ecstatic Music Festival, the Cabrillo Festival (Santa Cruz), and the Gaudeamus Festival (Amsterdam). Her opera with librettist Royce Vavrek, Breaking the Waves, commissioned by Opera Philadelphia with Beth Morrison Productions was awarded the inaugural Award for Best New Opera by the Music Critics Association of North America and hailed as “among the best twenty-first-century American operas yet produced” by Opera News. Mazzoli is currently on the composition faculty of the Mannes College of Music, a division of the New School, and a co-founder of Luna Composition Lab. An active pianist, Mazzoli performs with Victoire, an “all-star, all-female quintet” (Time Out New York) she founded, which is dedicated exclusively to her own compositions. Proving Up CREATIVE TEAM CONT. ROYCE VAVREK, librettist | Royce Vavrek is a Canada-born, Brooklyn-based librettist and lyricist who has been called “an exemplary creator of operatic prose” (The New York Times), and “one of the most cel- ebrated and sought after librettists in the world” (CBC Radio). His opera Angel’s Bone with composer Du Yun was awarded the 2017 Pulitzer Prize for Music. With composer Missy Mazzoli he wrote Song from the Uproar, premiered by Beth Morrison Projects in 2012, and subsequently seen in multiple presen- tations around the country. Their second opera, an adaptation of Lars von Trier’s Breaking the Waves, premiered at Opera Philadelphia to critical acclaim in September of 2016. The work won the 2017 Mu- sic Critics Association of North America award for Best New Opera and was nominated for Best World Premiere at the 2017 International Opera Awards. Royce is currently collaborating with composer David T. Little to develop an original work for the Metropolitan Opera through the Met/LCT commissioning program. Vavrek is Co-Artistic Director of The Coterie, an opera-theater company founded with Tony-nominee Lauren Worsham. He holds a BFA in Filmmaking and Creative Writing from Concordia University’s Mel Hoppenheim School of Cinema in Montreal and an MFA from the Graduate Musical Theater Writing Program at New York University. CHRISTOPHER ROUNTREE, conductor | Conductor and composer Christopher Rountree stands at the intersection of classical music, new music, performance art, and pop. Rountree is the founder, conductor, and creative director of the path-breaking L.A. chamber orchestra wild Up, which started in 2010 with no funding and no musicians, driven by Rountree’s vision of a world-class ensemble that creates visceral, provocative experiences. Last season, Rountree debuted with the National Symphony Orchestra at the Kennedy Center and with Washington National Opera, and returned to the Los Angeles Philharmon- ic and San Francisco Conservatory of Music. He’s conducted a litany of great ensembles and festivals including the Brooklyn Philharmonic, the Prototype Festival, Beth Morrison Projects, the American Composers Orchestra, Bohuslav Martinu Philharmonic, American Youth Symphony, and the Rose City Chamber Orchestra. He’s been tapped to curate events for contemporary art institutions, including the Getty Museum, MCA Denver, and the Hammer Museum, where a long-running wild Up residency brought the group to national prominence. JAMES DARRAH, production | Working at the convergence of opera, theater, and film, Los Ange- les-based artist James Darrah brings together disparate creators and mediums for community-focused collaborations. He has been recognized as “a gifted young American director” (Chicago Tribune) with an unconventional body of directing, design, and curatorial work that “injects real drama” (The New York Times) into new theater and opera productions, films, events, installations, and music videos. He is the Artistic Director of Opera Omaha’s ONE Festival. His current projects include directing multiple world premiere operas with several leading composers. He will premiere Missy Mazzoli’s VESPERS, a music film featuring Olivia DePrato on solo violin for NPR’s First Watch that will also have its live debut with Jennifer Koh on violin at National Sawdust in Brooklyn. He previously directed the world premiere of Mazzoli and Vavrek’s acclaimed operatic adaptation of Lars Von Trier’s Breaking the Waves. He is a graduate of the UCLA School of Theater, Film, and Television where he received the George Burns/Gracie Allen Directing Scholarship. NATHAN TROUP, director | Nathan Troup was recently named Boston Lyric Opera’s Emerging Art- ist-Stage Director for the 2015-16 and 2016-17 seasons. Upcoming highlights include Madama Butterfly for Hubbard Hall Opera Theater, Alcina and Dark Sisters for Boston Conservatory, and The Werther Project for Boston University.

Puttin’ on the Glitz: Hollywood’s Influence on Fashion examines the major impact that Hollywood had and continues to have over fashion. This exciting exhibit highlights films and designers from Hollywood’s golden years through the 20th century, all presented within a historical context. Items on display include significant books, journals, images, videos, and movie posters from the Libraries’ collections, and stunning costumes from UCI’s drama department. The curator is Becky Imamoto, Research Librarian for History. I hope you enjoy the exhibit and return to view others in the future. Gerald L. Lowell Interim University Librarian - 3 - this exhibit examines the history of Hollywood costume design from its inception to the end of the 20th century. In the early 1910s, costume design was little more than an afterthought, with silent screen actresses providing costumes from their personal wardrobes. However, during the Golden Age (1930- 1959), Hollywood realized how much publicity and money could be generated through its promotion of new fashion designs, and so set to work building an image of splendor, luxury, and endless consumption. Hollywood was, and is, a powerful social force that determines what is considered by the rest of the world to be beautiful and glamorous.

  • Costume Designers Guild to Margaret
    PRESIDENT .;,0;;"'';:;;0 in Paris with news for her comrades of the in Moscow, Ninotchka famously announced at "There are going to be fewer but better Russians." As the result of a new approach to membership insti­ tuted this spring, the Academy is moving toward a similar declaration. Before anyone becomes too alarmed, though, I should make clear that there won't be any purges. This is a Fabian revolution, in which time is going to be allowed to do most of the heavy lifting. And the new system won't really give us "fewer" Academy members; it will only rein in the organization's rapid and somewhat unstructured growth in recent decades. Basically, what we began doing this year is to give each branch or other subsection of membership a target number of candidates to accept for membership. The numbers will vary from year to year, because they will be based on the number of active members we lose through death, the selection of retired status, etc. Some deliberate slack in the system will allow for (but not mandate) a mod­ est growth in membership each year. In the past, we've essentially asked the various member­ ship committees to endorse as many candidates for member­ ship as they cared to, so long as those candidates met the min­ imum requirements in their areas. Now we're asking the committees to give us only their very strongest candidates. Tllis year's 127 new invitees (most of whom will have accepted their invitation by the time you read this) are list­ RAY HARRYHAUSEN WITH ed on page 20.

Bernt Using a coding instrument designed specifically for this study, the researcher analyzed the gender of Academy Award nominees and winners in all categories in which potential for direct competition between women and men existed. This study examined if there was gender discrepancy in terms of whose work was recognized in the film industry by the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences. Data from 83 Academy Awards ceremonies honoring the films released from 1927 to 2010 yielded 1,471 cases that, when analyzed, supported the statement that more men than women have been nominated for, and winners of, Academy Awards in every category other than Costume Design. Examining the results by year of nominations, wins, and categories showed trends in the numbers of women and men nominees and winners.

His former lover, Hollywood actress Gloria Grahame, had collapsed in a Lancaster hotel. She refused medical attention and instead reached out to Turner, who at Grahame’s request took her to his warm if chaotic family home in Liverpool. The pair had met a few years previously, their paths crossing in a Primrose Hill guesthouse in which they were lodging. Turner was an aspiring actor, Grahame a fading star. She had made her name in the Hollywood studio system, often playing the moll, the floozy or as Turner notes in his memoir ‘the tart with the heart,’ appearing in a string of film noirs, including the likes of the sad and hauntingly romantic In a Lonely Place with Humphrey Bogart (shot by her husband at the time, Nicholas Ray) and the Fritz Lang classic The Big Heat opposite Lee Marvin. Gloria shone in the likes of Crossfire, for which she was Oscar nominated, Naked Alibi and Sudden Fear, while her turn in The Bad and The Beautiful scooped her an Oscar win for Best Supporting Actress.

    LITTLE WOMEN Production Information About Little Women Writer-director Greta Gerwig (Lady Bird) has crafted a Little Women that draws on both the classic novel and the writings of Louisa May Alcott, and unfolds as the author’s alter ego, Jo March, reflects back and forth on her fictional life. In Gerwig’s take, the beloved story of the March sisters—four young women each determined to live life on her own terms—is both timeless and timely. Portraying Jo, Meg, Amy, and Beth March, the film stars Saoirse Ronan, Emma Watson, Florence Pugh, and Eliza Scanlen, with Timothée Chalamet as their neighbor Laurie, Laura Dern as Marmee, and Meryl Streep as Aunt March. Directed by Greta Gerwig. Screenplay by Greta Gerwig. Based on the Novel by Louisa May Alcott. Produced by Amy Pascal, Denise Di Novi and Robin Swicord. Executive Producers are Adam Merims, Evelyn O’Neill, Rachel O’Connor and Arnon Milchan. The film stars Saoirse Ronan, Emma Watson, Florence Pugh, Eliza Scanlen, Laura Dern, Timothée Chalamet, Tracy Letts, Bob Odenkirk, James Norton, Louis Garrel, with Chris Cooper and Meryl Streep. The film will be released in theaters on -insert local release date- About the Production Across disparate countries and radically different eras, Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women has come to life in a million different ways. It is a book that is unsparing in its depiction of the way the world is hard on ambitious girls, but also offers a comfort: that ambition – a vibrant inner life that breaks the bonds of the world – is its own reward.

Entertainment GmbH www.GreenLantern-DerFilm.de 3 INHALT Im ebenso endlosen wie geheimnisvollen Universum existiert seit Jahrhunderten eine kleine, aber schlagkräftige Einheit, die für Gesetz und Gerechtigkeit eintritt: das Green Lantern Corps. Jeder Green Lantern wird durch einen Eid auf die Bruderschaft der Krieger dazu verpflichtet, in der Galaxis Recht und Ordnung aufrechtzuerhalten, alle tragen einen Ring, der ihnen übernatürliche Kräfte verleiht. Doch als ein neuer Gegner namens Parallax das Gleichgewicht der Kräfte im Universum auszuhebeln droht, liegt das Schicksal der Green Lanterns und der gesamten Erde in der Hand ihres jüngsten Rekruten: Er ist der erste Mensch, der in ihre Reihen aufgenommen wurde – Hal Jordan (Ryan Reynolds). Hal ist zwar ein begabter und ziemlich großspuriger Testpilot, doch die Green Lanterns haben für Menschen wenig übrig, weil sie im Umgang mit den unermesslichen Möglichkeiten des Rings keinerlei Erfahrung mitbringen. Dennoch ist Hal ganz offensichtlich das fehlende Teil im Puzzle, denn neben seiner Hartnäckigkeit und Willensstärke ist er den anderen Mitgliedern des Corps in einem Aspekt überlegen: in seiner Menschlichkeit.
