Mai 2013, 14.00 - 16.00 Uhr (Zweitsendung) Gäste im Studio: Graziella Contratto und Jürgen Kesting Gastgeberin: Gabriela Kaegi Das persönlichste von Wagners Musikdramen sei Tristan und Isolde, heisst es. Und in der Tat: es ist fast verblüffend, wie Operngeschichte und sein Leben miteinander verschmelzen: Tristan (gleich Wagner) freit Isolde (gleich Mathilde Wesendonck), die aber ihrerseits bereits verheiratet ist mit Otto Wesendonck (gleich König Marke). Die Liebe fliegt auf, es gibt Streit. Im echten Leben muss Wagner nach Venedig fliehen, in der Oper stirbt Tristan durch das Schwert, und Isolde folgt ihm in den Tod. Das persönlichste von Wagners Musikdramen. Und das aufwühlendste.

Das Rheingold in 2015 Include Matthias Goerne As Wanderer, Falk Struckmann As Fafner, Deborah Humble As Erda, Heidi Melton As Brünnhilde and David Cangelosi As Mime
PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE DATE: 24 November 2016 The HK Phil’s journey through Wagner’s epic Ring Cycle continues with Part III: Siegfried [24 November 2016, Hong Kong] The Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra’s (HK Phil) internationally acclaimed performances of Wagner’s complete Ring Cycle reaches its third part with Siegfried on 19th and 22nd January at the Hong Kong Cultural Centre Concert Hall. Conducted by HK Phil’s Music Director Jaap van Zweden and with Simon O’Neill in the role of Siegfried, the cast includes some of the great Wagnerian singers of our time. Familiar voices to those who have been following this epic production since it opened with Das Rheingold in 2015 include Matthias Goerne as Wanderer, Falk Struckmann as Fafner, Deborah Humble as Erda, Heidi Melton as Brünnhilde and David Cangelosi as Mime. Additionally, Werner van Mechelen sings the role of Alberich, and Valentina Farcas as the voice of the woodbird. The first ever opera-in-concert performance of Wagner’s epic Ring Cycle in Hong Kong, this four-year journey is also the first live production to be recorded and released on CD by an orchestra from Hong Kong or Mainland China. Released under the Naxos label, the previous two parts––Das Rheingold and Die Walküre––have been a huge success with audiences and critics alike. Gramophone magazine described Die Walküre as “compelling” and an “impressive achievement”, going on to describe the HK Phil as “a consistently fine orchestra”. Having ended Die Walküre with Brünnhilde cast into a magic sleep by Wotan, and surrounded by fire high on a mountain top, Siegfried opens with the dwarf Mime working at his forge.

The way his „Tristan chord“ resolves towards the end of the work during Isolde’s „Liebestod“ was unthinkable in those days. The composer was well aware how difficult it would be to stage this three act work: „Only mediocre productions might save me“, he wrote to Mathilde Wesendonck. The World Premiere on June 10th 1865 in the National Theatre in Munich, at the command of King Ludwig II, was a great success. The last production of Tristan in Frankfurt opened in 2003, directed by Christof Nel. The story: Although Tristan killed Isolde’s betrothed in battle, the Irish princess nursed the wounded knight back to health, incapable of carrying out her revenge.

The Pennsylvania State University Schreyer Honors College
THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY SCHREYER HONORS COLLEGE SCHOOL OF MUSIC THE VOCAL TECHNIQUE OF THE VERDI BARITONE JOHN CURRAN CARPENTER SPRING 2014 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a baccalaureate degree in Music with honors in Music Reviewed and approved* by the following: Charles Youmans Associate Professor of Musicology Thesis Supervisor Mark Ballora Associate Professor of Music Technology Honors Adviser * Signatures are on file in the Schreyer Honors College. i ABSTRACT I wrote this thesis in an attempt to provide useful information about the vocal technique of great operatic singers, especially “Verdi baritones”—singers specializing in dramatic lead roles of this voice-type in Giuseppe Verdi’s operas. Through careful scrutiny of historical performances by great singers of the past century, I attempt to show that attentive listening can be a vitally important component of a singer’s technical development. This approach is especially valuable within the context of a mentor/apprentice relationship, a centuries-old pedagogical tradition in opera that relies heavily on figurative language to capture the relationship between physical sensation and quality of sound. Using insights gleaned from conversations with my own teacher, the heldentenor Graham Sanders, I analyze selected YouTube clips to demonstrate the relevance of sensitive listening for developing smoothness of tone, maximum resonance, legato, and other related issues. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS Acknowledgements .................................................................................................................

Annual Report 2017–18
Annual Report 2017–18 1 3 Introduction 5 Metropolitan Opera Board of Directors 7 Season Repertory and Events 13 Artist Roster 15 The Financial Results 48 Our Patrons 2 Introduction During the 2017–18 season, the Metropolitan Opera presented more than 200 exiting performances of some of the world’s greatest musical masterpieces, with financial results resulting in a very small deficit of less than 1% of expenses—the fourth year running in which the company’s finances were balanced or very nearly so. The season opened with the premiere of a new staging of Bellini’s Norma and also included four other new productions, as well as 19 revivals and a special series of concert presentations of Verdi’s Requiem. The Live in HD series of cinema transmissions brought opera to audiences around the world for the 12th year, with ten broadcasts reaching more than two million people. Combined earned revenue for the Met (box office and media) totaled $114.9 million. Total paid attendance for the season in the opera house was 75%. All five new productions in the 2017–18 season were the work of distinguished directors, three having had previous successes at the Met and one making an auspicious company debut. A veteran director with six prior Met productions to his credit, Sir David McVicar unveiled the season-opening new staging of Norma as well as a new production of Puccini’s Tosca, which premiered on New Year’s Eve. The second new staging of the season was also a North American premiere, with Tom Cairns making his Met debut directing Thomas Adès’s groundbreaking 2016 opera The Exterminating Angel.
