PALM BEACH OPERA 7 LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN DEAR PALM BEACH OPERA PATRONS, Welcome to the first production of the 19-20 season! We are grateful that you decided to spend the evening with us and we look forward to sharing the season with you. Thanks to your continued patronage and support, last season Palm Beach Opera achieved an operating surplus for the third year in a row. At the same time, we expanded our young artist and community outreach programs to have a greater impact in our community. Our world-class performances and artists continue to excite and engage audiences, our education and community engagement programs continue to impact the lives of so many throughout our community, and our Palm Beach Opera family continues to flourish. With David Walker as our new general director, we are poised to build upon the momentum created over the last 10 years by our outgoing General Director, Daniel Biaggi, and look forward to the coming seasons of artistic growth, programmatic innovation, and increased national significance under David’s leadership. During the summer months, the Board of Directors focused on maintaining our financial stability, long-term planning, and welcomed new members to the board. Your belief in our mission is our inspiration, and we invite you to join us in discussions about Palm Beach Opera’s exciting future. There are many ways to support Palm Beach Opera and participate in the meaningful work of providing the magic of opera to our community. We hope you consider joining our Board of Directors, Co-Producer Society, Guild, or PBO Young Friends. Tonight, you will hear this season’s talented Benenson Young Artists and Bailey Apprentice Artists in a new, mesmerizing production of Hansel and Gretel, accompanied by members of the Palm Beach Opera Orchestra.

  • NEWSLETTER of the American Handel Society
    NEWSLETTER of The American Handel Society Volume XIX, Number 1 April 2004 THE THOMAS BAKER COLLECTION In 1985 the Music Library of The University of Western Ontario acquired the bulk of the music collection of Thomas Baker (c.1708-1775) of Farnham, Surrey from the English antiquarian dealer Richard Macnutt with Burnett & Simeone. Earlier that same year what is presumed to have been the complete collection, then on deposit at the Hampshire Record Office in Winchester, was described by Richard Andrewes of Cambridge University Library in a "Catalogue of music in the Thomas Baker Collection." It contained 85 eighteenth-century printed titles (some bound together) and 10 "miscellaneous manuscripts." Macnutt described the portion of the collection he acquired in his catalogue The Music Collection of an Eighteenth Century Gentleman (Tunbridge Wells, 1985). Other buyers, including the British Library, acquired 11 of the printed titles and 4 of the manuscripts. Thomas Baker was a country gentleman and his library, which was "representative of the educated musical amateur’s tastes, include[d] works ranging from short keyboard pieces to opera" (Macnutt, i). Whether he was related to the Rev. Thomas Baker (1685-1745) who was for many years a member of the choirs of the Chapel Royal, St. Paul’s Cathedral, and Westminster Abbey, is not clear. Christoph Dumaux as Tamerlano – Spoleto Festival USA 2003 However, his collection did contain several manuscripts of Anglican Church music.

Sous la direction de David Stern, Opera Fuoco se saisit avec brio et légèreté de ce petit bijou du répertoire lyrique. Un mélodrame joyeux, tout en finesse et en ironie, sur l’amour et ses mystères, entre bel canto et envolées romantiques. Délicieux ! La scène se passe dans un village basque à la fin du XVIIIe siècle. Amoureux transi de la riche et capricieuse fermière Adina, le jeune Nemorino, sans le sou et timide, ne fait pas le poids face au fringant sergent Belcore. Celui-ci a sorti la grosse artillerie pour emporter le beau coeur d’Adina : bouquet de fleurs en-veux- tu-en-voilà, déclaration enflammée et demande en mariage express ! Le soupirant éconduit tente alors de forcer le destin en achetant à un charlatan ambulant un philtre d’amour (produit dans les vignobles bordelais !)..

David Stern et les interprètes d’Opera Fuoco s’emparent du chef-d’œuvre de Mozart, avec le talent et l’énergie qui les caractérisent. Un pur moment de bonheur, entre gravité et légèreté, sur un thème universel : l’amour et ses mésaventures ! Cosi fan Tutte ou L’école des amants est une expérience amoureuse diabolique. Sous la baguette d'un philosophe désabusé, Don Alfonso, deux jeunes officiers acceptent un pari apparemment stupide : séduire la promise de l'autre pour éprouver ses sentiments et tester sa fidélité… Dans cet opéra de la double inconstance - l'infidélité des deux soeurs, Fiordiligi et Dorabella, comme le jeu trouble de leurs fiancés, Guglielmo et Ferrando – tout s'entremêle et s'embrouille : le cynisme des manipulateurs et la naïveté des manipulés, les bons sentiments et les désirs secrets, la mascarade des déguisements et la gravité des révélations amoureuses.

Sie war viele Jahre eine treibende Kraft bei den Bregenzer Festspielen. Nach Stationen als Betriebsdirektorin der Oper La Monnaie in Brüssel und Direktorin der Stuttgarter Staatsoper wurde sie 2017 Intendantin der Opéra national du Rhin in Straßburg, wo sie eine fulminante Programmierung durchsetzen konnte. Ihr herausragendes Gespür, begabte Sängerinnen und Sänger zu entdecken und diese dann zu fördern, ermöglichte es ihr, großartige Rollendebüts zu initiieren. Eine Fähigkeit, für die sie weithin geschätzt wurde. Überhaupt standen die Künst­ lerinnen und Künstler immer im Mittelpunkt ihrer Arbeit als Intendantin. Eva Kleinitz hatte eine geradezu enzyklopädische Repertoire­ kenntnis und sie scheute sich nicht, völlig unbekannte, seit Jahrhunderten nicht aufgeführte Werke wieder auf die Bühne zu bringen, und das mit großem Erfolg. 2 Giovanni Legrenzis La divisione del mondo war eines der Werke, die sie an der Operá national du Rhin in Straßburg programmiert hat, wo sie Christophe Rousset als musika­ lischen Partner an ihrer Seite wusste.

  • La Finta Giardiniera
    Pasquale Anfossi Samedi 1er avril - 19h30 Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Dimanche 2 avril - 16h00 Durée de chaque ouvrage : 3h avec un entracte Pourquoi ce projet ? A l‘occasion du 250e anniversaire de la naissance de Mozart (1756-1791), la Fondation Royaumont souhaite proposer un projet original qui permet une écoute renouvelée de l'oeuvre de Mozart, en fonc- tion des interrogations actuelles des artistes et musicologues sur l'interprétation de son oeuvre. En par- ticulier l'idée est de replacer Mozart parmi ses contemporains : les voyages de Mozart en Italie et son amour de l'opéra sont connus, à une époque où l'opéra italien, en particulier l'opéra bouffe napolitain, était le grand modèle dominant dans toute l'Europe. Quelle est l'influence de ce style sur l'écriture de Mozart ? La découverte d'une partition napolitaine directement à l'origine d'une commande à Mozart, celle de Pasquale Anfossi à la Bibliothèque Nationale de France, a permis d'imaginer concrètement cette confrontation, en présentant deux versions de La Finta Giardiniera. Le choix de chefs avec leurs orchestres sur instruments d'époque est déterminant aussi par le renouvel- lement que chacun d'eux apporte à l'interprétation des oeuvres de cette époque charnière entre baroque et classique au XVIIIème siècle : respectivement les napolitains Antonio Florio et sa Cappella de'Tur- chini pour l'opéra napolitain, style qu'ils défendent depuis de nombreuses années, et David Stern, grand mozartien qui a créé son orchestre consacré à l'opéra sur instruments d'époque, Opera Fuoco, en 2003. Les deux oeuvres sont confiées au même metteur en scène, Stephan Grögler, qui aime puiser son ins- piration dans la musique, ce qui permettra de mieux souligner les ressemblances et les originalités profondes de chaque oeuvre.

Hopefully, many of you were able to attend one of our La traviata performances. The singers, the chorus and orchestra, and in particular also the large scale production received wonderful audience acclaim and generated a lot of excitement. Thanks to all of your support, we are able to present large scale productions. I’d like to thank, in particular, all the Co-Producer Society members for their ongoing generosity. We endeavor to bring you an engaging variety of productions. This weekend’s production of Don Giovanni takes a much different dramatic approach.
