His taut, expressive musical language endows all his characters with authentic voices.

Eternal life is the topic of The Makropulos Case, grappling with the question: Is life worth living forever? Or does the obligatory timescale of exis­ tence lay down the groundwork for our whole va lue system? Karel Capek, who in 1922 wrote the play on which Janacek closely based his opera (with radical alterations of emphasis and tone in the third and last act), was prompted by a scientific theory which has since been shown to be virtually true: that aging is caused genetically by an "auto-intoxicating organism ." The Makropoulos Secret (as the play was called) was translated and published in Boston by Luce & Company in 1925. The American introduction quoted Capek referring to Bernard Shaw's Back to Methuselah, which came out in 1921. "While Bernard Shaw comes to the same conclusion as I do," wrote Capek, "it is in quite the opposite manner. Mr. Shaw believes that it is possible for an ideal community of people to live several hundred years in a sort of paradise. I think that such a condition is neither ideal nor desirable .... Mr. Shaw's play is a classic example of optimism, and my own- a hopeless instance of pessimism ....

There's infectious romantic nostalgia; course. The realism of Carmen anticipates there are dance rhythms . The score suggests a Janacek's view of the female victim of society's life lived fully, full of tears and joy beside its pro­ intolerance. But Janacek's concern for women is found sense of a mechanism winding down. The not political: He did not write operas to promote opera's third act makes death for the desperately the suffragettes.

18 t Count Lodovico is banished from Rome for debauchery and murder: his friends promise to work for the repeal of his sentence. t The Duke of Brachiano has developed a violent passion for Vittoria Corombona, daughter of a noble but impoverished Venetian family, despite the fact that both of them are already married. t Vittoria's brother, Flamineo, employed as a secretary to Brachiano, has been scheming to bring his sister and the Duke together in the hope of advancing his own career and his family's fortune. t However, when Brachiano arrives in Rome for his liaison with Vittoria he is somewhat foiled by the arrival of his wife Isabella , escorted by her brother Francisco and Cardinal Monticelso, both outraged by the rumors of Brachiano's infidelity. t Francisco and the Cardinal plan to have Camillo, Vittoria's older husband, sent on a sea voyage, hoping his absence will encourage Brachiano to make a move and bring the affair out into the open. t Before this can happen, Flamineo and Brachiano arrange to have both Camillo and Isabe lla murdered. t Vittoria is put on trial for the murder of Camillo and her supposed adultery. She is condemned by the Cardinal to imprisonment in a convent for penitent whores. t Flamineo feigns madness in order to protect himself from awkward questions regarding the murder of Camillo and Isabella. t The banished Count Lodovico is pardoned and returns to Rome. He confesses that he had been secretly in love with Isabella and vows to avenge her death. t Francisco also plots revenge. He sends a letter to Vittoria pretending love and planning an elopement. When, as he intended, the letter falls in Brachiano's hands it fuels his jea lousy and prompts Brachiano to elope with Vi ttoria.

INTERMISSION

Cardinal Monticelso is elected Pope and as his first act he excommunicates Vittoria and Brachiano.

Vittoria and Brachiano, now married, hold court in Padua. t Four mysterious strangers have arrived to enter Brachiano's service: these are Francisco, disguised as Mu li nassar, a Moor; and Lodovico, Antonelli, and Gasparo, disguised as Capuchin monks, all conspiring to avenge Isabella's death. t They begin their revenge with the poisoning of Brachiano. t Next Zanche, Vittoria's Moorish maid, who has fallen in love with her supposed countryman Mulinassar, reveals to him Flamineo's part in the murders of Isabella and Camillo.

19 t Flamineo is banished from court by young Giovanni , now Duke, for killing his own brother Marcello in a quarrel.

t The sight of his mother's distracted grief, and then the appearance of Brachiano's ghost begin to prick Flamineo's conscience .

t Sensing his crimes are catching up with him, Flamineo goes to Vittoria to remind her of his service to Brachiano, with the hope of securing at least some sort of reward.

t Vittoria refuses Flamineo payment, rekindling his fury.

t Flamineo tries to persuade Vittoria to a suicide pact but each deceives the other.

t Lodovico, Antonelli , and Gasparo appear to complete their revenge by killing both Vittoria and Flamineo.

Characters, especially recent revival of Andrew Lloyd Webber's Jesus Jeremy Sims' misogynist jester, Flamineo (Vittoria's brother and Brachiano's assistant), comment on The White Devil Photo by Robert McFarlane the action. It's an energetic turn embodying the play's devil-may-care wilfulness and the pursuit of glory among powerful men of status and means.

Edwards frames and propels the action deftly, assisted by the towering scale of Thomson's set, Trudy Dalgleish 's clever lighting, and the well-integrated music by Max Lambert and Martin Armiger-all of which gives the produc­ tion an operatic flavor and flow. Spotlights follow the faces of the key characters like dia­ monds in the dark-a phrase Vittoria coins at the end of her trial, as though to reflect some­ thing of her own duality and fate. This, and the scenes of caged madness and pageantry, are imaginatively executed.

The final bloody showdown is pure Scorcese and guaranteed to leave an audience stunned as the youthful voice of solemn reason and justice is left to hang vulnerably in the air.

Brooklyn Academy of Music is home to three separate not-for-profit performing arts institutions: Brooklyn Academy of Music, Brooklyn Philharmonic, and 651 ARTS.

BAM is America's oldest performing arts center. Since 1861 it has been a focus of cultural activity in Brooklyn and New York City. After the first facility at 176-194 Montague Street burned to the ground on the morning of November 30, 1903, plans were made to rebuild at the edge of Brooklyn's business district in the fashionable neighborhood of Fort Greene.

The architectural firm of Herts and Tallant, already responsible for the New Amsterdam , Liberty, and Lyceum theaters in Manhattan, was selected to create a Beaux Arts monument for Brooklyn. The cornerstone was laid at 30 Lafayette in 1906, and a series of opening events were held in the fall of 1908, cu lminating with a grand gala evening featuring Geraldine Farrar and Enrico Caruso in a Metropolitan Opera production of Gounod's Faust.

After World War II, Brooklyn Academy of Music declined as its audience moved elsewhere. Language classes and martial arts instruction were booked into performance spaces. By the time Harvey Lichtenstein was appointed director in February 1967, the programs and facilities needed revitalization. During the 32 years that Mr. Lichtenstein was at the helm, BAM experienced a complete renaissance, highlighted by the creation of the Next Wave Festival in 1983 and the BAM Majestic Theater in 1987. Upon his retirement in June 1999, the Majestic was renamed the BAM Harvey Lichtenstein Theater.

The Brooklyn Philharmonic is the resident orchestra of Brooklyn Academy of Music, performing at the BAM Howard Gilman Opera House and BAM Harvey Theater five weekends each season. In addition, some 10,000 Brooklyn school children hear the orchestra's free educational concerts each year.

Robert Spano became the orchestra's fourth music director in 1996. Under his direction the Brooklyn Philharmonic has emerged as one of New York's preeminent music ensembles and continues to discover new repertoire. Critics have consistently praised the quality of the Brooklyn Philharmonic's performances, programming, and creative concert presentations. The orchestra has presented more than 100 premieres at BAM since it was founded in 1954 by Siegfried Landau. Lukas Foss, music director from 1971- 90, is now conductor laureate. Dennis Russell Davies served as music director from 1991-96. 651 ARTS develops, produces, and presents arts and cultural program­ ming grounded in the African Diaspora, with a primary focus on contem­ porary performing arts. 651's music, theater, humanities, and residency programs take place at the BAM Harvey Theater and many other Brooklyn venues in order to help build the arts throughout the borough. Since its founding in 1988, 651 has showcased distinctive artists, including Abbey Lincoln, Spike Lee, Terry McMillan, Tito Puente, and Max Roach, among many others. 651 first attracted national attention with its land­ mark festival , 100 Years of Jazz and Blues , and has also proudly pre­ sented and produced such programs as Anna Deavere Smith's Fires in the Mirror and Donald Byrd's The Harlem Nutcracker.
