    Press Release

    BoHo Theatre 2437 W Farragut Ave #3B, Chicago, IL 60625 773-791-2393 www.BoHoTheatre.com FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Peter Blair, Executive Director March 4, 2011 Ph. 860-833-1107 (not for publication) [email protected] BOHO THEATRE FINDS BEAUTY WITH DIRTY BLONDE CHICAGO—BoHo Theatre presents Claudia Shear’s Dirty Blonde, a multilayered exploration of American entertainment icon Mae West as seen through the eyes of a pair of disaffected present-day fans, running April 1 through May 1, 2011 at Theater Wit, 1229 W Belmont Avenue. Dirty Blonde is directed by BoHo Artistic Advisor Stephen Genovese. “I made myself platinum, but I was born a dirty blonde.” –Mae West Claudia Shear’s hilarious and touching play weaves together the rise and fall of Mae West, the legendary star of stage and screen, with the awkward romance of Jo and Charlie, two Mae West fanatics in present- day New York. The brash and outspoken Jo is an aspiring actress stuck in a cycle of temp jobs while Charlie, a meek and introspective soul, works in the film archives of the New York public library. Though seemingly polar opposites, both are striving for something they see in Mae—a confidence and finesse that made her into the extravagant, sexy, taboo-breaking public persona that was the hallmark of her fame. But Mae sacrificed much to maintain her public image. What are Charlie and Jo willing to sacrifice to become like her? Directed by Jeff Award-winning director Stephen Genovese (Sideshow, The Glorious Ones, I Am My Own Wife (co-director)), the production features three versatile and talented performers who sing, dance, and play dozens of characters.

  • ARSC Journal

    A Discography of the Choral Symphony by J. F. Weber In previous issues of this Journal (XV:2-3; XVI:l-2), an effort was made to compile parts of a composer discography in depth rather than breadth. This one started in a similar vein with the realization that SO CDs of the Beethoven Ninth Symphony had been released (the total is now over 701). This should have been no surprise, for writers have stated that the playing time of the CD was designed to accommodate this work. After eighteen months' effort, a reasonably complete discography of the work has emerged. The wonder is that it took so long to collect a body of information (especially the full names of the vocalists) that had already been published in various places at various times. The Japanese discographers had made a good start, and some of their data would have been difficult to find otherwise, but quite a few corrections and additions have been made and some recording dates have been obtained that seem to have remained 1.Dlpublished so far. The first point to notice is that six versions of the Ninth didn't appear on the expected single CD. Bl:lhm (118) and Solti (96) exceeded the 75 minutes generally assumed (until recently) to be the maximum CD playing time, but Walter (37), Kegel (126), Mehta (127), and Thomas (130) were not so burdened and have been reissued on single CDs since the first CD release. On the other hand, the rather short Leibowitz (76), Toscanini (11), and Busch (25) versions have recently been issued with fillers.

    Navigating, Coping & Cashing In

    The RECORDING Navigating, Coping & Cashing In Maze November 2013 Introduction Trying to get a handle on where the recording business is headed is a little like trying to nail Jell-O to the wall. No matter what side of the business you may be on— producing, selling, distributing, even buying recordings— there is no longer a “standard operating procedure.” Hence the title of this Special Report, designed as a guide to the abundance of recording and distribution options that seem to be cropping up almost daily thanks to technology’s relentless march forward. And as each new delivery CONTENTS option takes hold—CD, download, streaming, app, flash drive, you name it—it exponentionally accelerates the next. 2 Introduction At the other end of the spectrum sits the artist, overwhelmed with choices: 4 The Distribution Maze: anybody can (and does) make a recording these days, but if an artist is not signed Bring a Compass: Part I with a record label, or doesn’t have the resources to make a vanity recording, is there still a way? As Phil Sommerich points out in his excellent overview of “The 8 The Distribution Maze: Distribution Maze,” Part I and Part II, yes, there is a way, or rather, ways. But which Bring a Compass: Part II one is the right one? Sommerich lets us in on a few of the major players, explains 11 Five Minutes, Five Questions how they each work, and the advantages and disadvantages of each. with Three Top Label Execs In “The Musical America Recording Surveys,” we confirmed that our readers are both consumers and makers of recordings.

Boris Goldovsky and Arthur Schoep Settings & Lighting by ... Aristides Gazetas Costumes by Leo Van Witsen lillllllllllllllllllllllllllillllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllillllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll NOTE ON THE TANGLEWOOD PRODUCTION In the present production (which is very likely the first in the western hemisphere) all the orchestrally accompanied numbers will be heard in the original form and in the order given in Paisiello's original manuscript, a microfilm of which could fortunately be obtained from the composer's native city of Naples. The only major change is the substitution of spoken dialogue for the secco recitatives of the original version. The uninspired sequence of harmonies in these recitatives creates a strong suspicion that these sections of the score had been entrusted to one of Paisiello's pupils, a common practice in the eighteenth century when composers were expected to fashion full-length works on extremely short notice. Paisiello's score has many features of extraordinary interest. Especially remarkable are the two extended finales, the one to the first act being a worthy precursor of the great second-act finale of Mozart's The Marriage of Figaro. In this connection it is worth mentioning that Mozart was present at the first performance of King Theodore in Venice in Vienna and was obviously greatly impressed by the work.

I couldn’t believe from the beginning of the first song it could possibly get any more ecstatic and full of emotion, and yet it did. It was a short step from there to Strauss opera for me, and with the birth of YouTube I sat until the early hours of many a morning in my tiny room at Edinburgh University, listening to, watching and obsessing over Der Rosenkavalier’s final trio and presentation of the rose.

    SOCIÉTÉ DE MUSIQUE LA CHAUX-DE-FONDS du 3 octobre au 9 mai Dossier de presse www.musiquecdf.ch Créer lʼévénement : un défi permanent Replacer la ville parmi les centres musicaux de première importance en Suisse et en Europe, voilà la tâche à laquelle nous nous attelons, avec succès, depuis trois ans. La Société de Musique de La Chaux-de-Fonds est entrée dans sa 121ème année ! Malgré cet héritage impressionnant, chaque saison représente un nouveau défi ! Nous avons le sentiment de lʼavoir à nouveau relevé en ce qui concerne la cuvée 2013-2014. Deux de nos meilleurs atouts : lʼexcellente acoustique de la Salle de musique de La Chaux-de-Fonds et des invités sélectionnés avec une grande exigence : une exigence remarquée et appréciée, qui a convaincu Espace 2 dʼenregistrer, lors de la prochaine saison, sept concerts sur les onze que compte la GRANDE SERIE. Une exigence à ne pas confondre avec « élitisme ». Dʼune part, nous mettons sur pied chaque saison la SERIE PARALLELES, héritage des anciennes Heures de Musique : lʼoccasion dʼinviter, dans de plus petites salles, de jeunes interprètes prometteurs, des musiciens de notre région, ou encore de proposer une programmation différente. Dʼautre part, la Société de Musique de La Chaux-de-Fonds souhaite faire cohabiter une qualité sans compromis avec des prix accessibles (en comparaison de la plupart des séries de concerts de ce niveau en Suisse). Ainsi, un membre de la Société de Musique peut assister à nʼimporte lequel de nos concerts à partir de 25.-, un non membre à partir de 30.- et les étudiants et moins de 16 ans pour le prix de 10.-.
