It’s an absolute masterpiece, brimming over with wonderful melodies and a delightfully sentimental story. We’re delighted to present The Merry Widowto you in Susan Stroman’s spectacular production, first seen at the Metropolitan Opera last season. For every member of that audience, it was a joyous evening of captivating storytelling and beautiful music-making. In any operetta, understanding the text in both dialogue and song can play LEONARD STEVE a huge role in our enjoyment of the piece as a whole. There’s a good deal of spoken dialogue in most of the great operettas, including The Merry Widow. In Jeremy Sams’s new version (created especially for this production), we have the treat of being able to savor the performances of great artists singing and speaking in our own language. My two remarkable colleagues at Lyric, creative consultant Renée Fleming and music director Sir Andrew Davis, were integral to the success of this production at the Met, and it’s wonderful that they’re able to reprise Lehár’s operetta here in Chicago. Renée’s portrayal of the merry widow herself, Hanna Glawari, entranced the New York audience with its vitality, wit, and of course, the extraordinary vocalism that makes all of her portrayals unforgettable. And how marvelous it is for us to experience Sir Andrew’s astounding stylistic versatility in a season that includes his performances of not only Viennese operetta, but also Rossini, Berg, and a world premiere. Two other remarkable artists are returning to Lyric in this production. Taking on the title role for the final three performances is Nicole Cabell, one of the Ryan Opera Center’s most distinguished alumni, a hugely acclaimed singing actress throughout America and Europe. Singing Count Danilo in all the Merry Widow performances will be the legendary American baritone Thomas Hampson, whose performances at Lyric in roles of Massenet, Verdi, and Wagner have made him a great Lyric favorite and an artist we’re thrilled to welcome back this season. Joining Renée, Nicole, and Tom in the important supporting roles are Michael Spyres (who gave an irresistible performance in our Fledermaus two seasons ago) and two marvelous artists in their Lyric debuts, Heidi Stober and Patrick Carfizzi. The Merry Widow is bound to leave you floating on cloud nine, as if you’ve eaten the most delicious dessert. Its warmly romantic glow and dazzling melodies will, I hope, add greatly to the joy of your holiday season. Anthony Freud 6 | November 14 - December 13, 2015 LYRIC OPERA OF CHICAGO From the President I’m thrilled to begin my tenure as President of Lyric Opera for many reasons, but above all, because opera has become a vital element of my life, both personally and professionally. In the early 1990s, when my company was about five years old, I realized that in the marketing world you took clients to a Bulls Game, or to Wrigley Field – there was a customary set of entertainment venues. But rather than a sports outing, what if we treated them to the opera? We began bringing clients, for whom it was unique and unforgettable, introducing them to an art form they’d heard about but never experienced. For me, it checked the boxes on the business side, but it also nurtured in me an enduring love for opera. I’d grown up in New Jersey listening to WQXR, hearing the Met on the radio, but becoming a subscriber and enjoying opera in the theater was brand ROSENBERG TODD new to me. It’s been my great pleasure to be a Lyric subscriber since 1992. l feel a special excitement every opening night, and when I return to a production a second or third time, I always see things I hadn’t seen before. My wife and I continue to introduce people to Lyric, many of whom have become subscribers themselves. When I was growing up in the 1960s and ‘70s, people frequently responded to opera as something classic, almost old world, best seen and heard in traditional performances. Today, however, I relish the broad range of theatrical interpretation. I’m struck every season by performances that communicate a particular resonance with what’s happening culturally or socially in our world at the time. Certain truths captured so memorably in opera are timeless, still challenging us as they challenged these works’ original audiences. I think of recent productions, such as Rusalka or The Passenger – each was a truly visceral experience that stayed with me for weeks. This year I’m looking forward with great anticipation to Lyric’s new production of The Marriage of Figaro, and especially to the world premiere of Bel Canto. Under my watch, the next chapter in Lyric’s history will implement the strategic plan the management and board developed four years ago. The principles of excellence, relevance, and fiscal responsibility are our key priorities of focus. I’m excited to witness Lyric becoming a broader provider of cultural service to Chicago and the Chicagoland region. To stay excellent, relevant, and fiscally responsible in this rapidly changing world, we need to be prepared to innovate. That means looking beyond the customary constraints of our art form and asking, “What can we learn, borrow, beg, or steal from other forms of entertainment and cultural enrichment?” One idea behind the board’s innovation committee has been to empower a small group of board members to do just that. In many ways Lyric Unlimited is our laboratory. Through it we are reaching out to communities throughout Chicago, we are forming collaborative partnerships with other cultural, community, and educational organizations, and we are exploring the ways in which opera, as an art form, may develop in the future. Lyric offers an increasing number of diverse activities – not only our mainstage opera season, but also our productions of great musicals, Lyric Unlimited’s wide-ranging projects, and, of course, our world-renowned Ryan Opera Center. But we need to think of ourselves as one Lyric. Everything we do is part of a unified, single-minded goal to be the great North American opera company of the twenty-first century. David T.

    DIVERSITY EN POINTE: MINIMIZING DISCRIMINATORY HIRING PRACTICES TO INCREASE BALLET’S CULTURAL RELEVANCE IN AMERICA Nicolle Mitchell Greenhood Major paper submitted to the faculty of Goucher College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Arts Administration 2016 Abstract Title of Thesis: DIVERSITY EN POINTE: MINIMIZING DISCRIMINATORY HIRING PRACTICES TO INCREASE BALLET’S CULTURAL RELEVANCE IN AMERICA Degree Candidate: Nicolle Mitchell Greenhood Degree and Year: Master of Arts in Arts Administration, 2016 Major Paper Directed by: Michael Crowley, M.A. Welsh Center for Graduate and Professional Studies Goucher College Ballet was established as a performing art form in fifteenth century French and Italian courts. Current American ballet stems from the vision of choreographer George Balanchine, who set ballet standards through his educational institution, School of American Ballet, and dance company, New York City Ballet. These organizations are currently the largest-budget performing company and training facility in the United States, and, along with other major US ballet companies, have adopted Balanchine’s preference for ultra thin, light skinned, young, heteronormative dancers. Due to their financial stability and power, these dance companies set the standard for ballet in America, making it difficult for dancers who do not fit these narrow characteristics to succeed and thrive in the field. The ballet field must adapt to an increasingly diverse society while upholding artistic integrity to the art form’s values. Those who live in America make up a heterogeneous community with a blend of worldwide cultures, but ballet has been slow to focus on diversity in company rosters.

GOLDENHURST LunEch wnith cJuoliaun Cnlatry eatr Geodldenhurst and a review of his recently-published novel ‘Briefs Encountered’. Noël Coward at ‘Look Out’ - Firefly, Jamaica PRODUCED AND PUBLISHED BY THE INTERNATIONAL NOËL COWARD SOCIETY - 1- www.noëlcoward.net hat an amazing month March was! Apart from reasonable weather, two of the most significant events for me marked an early opening of Spring EDITORIAL long before an Easter chick was a wink in a cockerel’s eye. Out of the blue came a charming invitation from Julian Clary for the officers of the Society to visit The Old Manor - but forever Goldenhurst in the eye of the Coward faithful - for lunch and a celebration of the completed renovation of Noël’s country retreat in Kent and the publication of Julian’s novel Briefs Encountered. As Daniel Massey said once about an invitation to Noël’s for lunch, “Well, you don’t turn that down!” And we didn’t! More on the visit in this edition. The climax of the month was the opening of Star Quality - The World of Noël Coward at the Lincoln Center in New York. This exhibition has been rightly trumpeted in Home Chat for the past few editions and the result did not let the herald down. This really is an impressive achievement. As a result of an initial partnership between the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts (NYPL) and The Noël Coward Foundation (NCF) the idea was born - and together with other partners - the exhibition was created.
