Printed in the U.S.A. FROM THE BOARD PRESIDENT e are concluding our 73rd Mississippi WOpera season with one of the five most frequently performed opera in the U.S. and internationally, Giacomo Puccini’s La Bohème. We last performed this opera in 2007. Take time to appreciate what is going on, all at the same time—the vocals, the orchestra, the chorus, the choreography, costumes and props, and the tale being told—this is what makes opera the most inclusive of the musical arts. This has been a busy season. We started our season with our sixth John Alexander National Vocal Competition, and the Winners’ Concert in September. Our Cabaret at Duling Hall series consisted of four musical theater productions scattered throughout the season. We also had a performance of The Hilarious World of Gilbert & Sullivan in November and Amahl and the Night Visitors in December. And, here we are with tonight’s major spring production. That’s seven performances in all for this season. We can thank our artistic director Jay Dean and Tippy Garner for pulling all this together for us. We also thank our donors who are mentioned in this program for enabling us to have opera here in Mississippi. Like all opera companies, our ticket sales only cover a fraction of the operating and production costs. Culturally cognizant, community minded individuals, businesses and other entities do their part to fill the gap with their donations. Do yourself a favor that has a double-barreled benefit—give money in support of your opera company, and (1) that will make you feel good about yourself, and, (2) the resulting tax deduction will lessen your 2019 taxes. Your opera company is part of what makes life good in Jackson and Mississippi, and we owe a debt of gratitude to you who support us. Please join with our supporters and help us keep going strong. Thank you again for coming and supporting Mississippi Opera. Elbert Bivins Board President Mississippi Arts Commission 2017 Governor’s Arts Awards Recipients The Mississippi Opera Association–Artistic Excellence 4 MISSISSIPPI OPERA ARTISTIC/GENERAL DIRECTOR Dear Opera Friends, Welcome to our performance of the world’s most famous opera, La Bohème! This evening you will see and hear some of the best opera singers that our country has to offer. We are so glad that you are with us tonight. Beginning in 1945, as the Jackson Opera Guild, Mississippi Opera enjoys a long and distinguished history. Mississippi Opera is different from most major American opera companies because it was founded by local residents who had a common cultural interest, opera. These culturally minded citizens wanted to create an arts organization for the city, but Mississippi Opera has now become more than that; we are a true regional opera company. Also, one of our rare qualities as an organization is our multi-generational connection: some of our audience members, chorus members, board and Guild members have Mississippi Opera ties that go back several generations. Our mission is to enhance Mississippi’s cultural and economic development by presenting high quality opera performances in an accessible manner; to identify and develop regional operatic artists; and to promote the understanding and appreciation of Opera through education, outreach, and audience development. Thus, we are committed to the professional presentation of traditional operas as well as advancing the art form by embracing new venues and programming. We also place a great deal of value on education and community outreach, and it is our goal to expose every citizen in Mississippi, young and old, to this great art form called opera. As we collectively shape the future of Mississippi Opera, we should keep in mind that great things do not happen by themselves; they happen because of dedicated people. No great work of art was ever created by accident; it was the vision and work of a talented, dedicated human being whose time and effort created that work. Just like the individual, no great organization will ever be successful by accident, its success will be because of the collective work of the people who create, execute, and support the vision of that organization. We want you to be part of our vision. Thank you for being here, and thank you for being our ambassadors. We are proud to have you as a part of the Mississippi Opera family. Sincerely, Jay Dean General and Artistic Director MISSISSIPPI OPERA 5 2018-2019 BOARD OF DIRECTORS Elbert Bivins, President Hogan Allen, Treasurer Anthony Cloy, Secretary Matt Allen Scott Newton Wendy Thompson Lynn Wentworth Sid Davis Bob Soukup David Trigiani Megan West Mark Henry Barbara Travis Shannon Warnock Jane Woosley Sharon Pratt Mary Acthley, Mississippi Opera Guild President PAST PRESIDENTS Founder Mrs. John T.

  • Marie Collier: a Life
    Marie Collier: a life Kim Kemmis A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History The University of Sydney 2018 Figure 1. Publicity photo: the housewife diva, 3 July 1965 (Alamy) i Abstract The Australian soprano Marie Collier (1927-1971) is generally remembered for two things: for her performance of the title role in Puccini’s Tosca, especially when she replaced the controversial singer Maria Callas at late notice in 1965; and her tragic death in a fall from a window at the age of forty-four. The focus on Tosca, and the mythology that has grown around the manner of her death, have obscured Collier’s considerable achievements. She sang traditional repertoire with great success in the major opera houses of Europe, North and South America and Australia, and became celebrated for her pioneering performances of twentieth-century works now regularly performed alongside the traditional canon. Collier’s experiences reveal much about post-World War II Australian identity and cultural values, about the ways in which the making of opera changed throughout the world in the 1950s and 1960s, and how women negotiated their changing status and prospects through that period. She exercised her profession in an era when the opera industry became globalised, creating and controlling an image of herself as the ‘housewife-diva’, maintaining her identity as an Australian artist on the international scene, and developing a successful career at the highest level of her artform while creating a fulfilling home life. This study considers the circumstances and mythology of Marie Collier’s death, but more importantly shows her as a woman of the mid-twentieth century navigating the professional and personal spheres to achieve her vision of a life that included art, work and family.

  • El Camino De Verdi Al Verismo: La Gioconda De Ponchielli the Road of Verdi to Verism: La Gioconda De Ponchielli
    Revista AV Notas, Nº8 ISSN: 2529-8577 Diciembre, 2019 EL CAMINO DE VERDI AL VERISMO: LA GIOCONDA DE PONCHIELLI THE ROAD OF VERDI TO VERISM: LA GIOCONDA DE PONCHIELLI Joaquín Piñeiro Blanca Universidad de Cádiz RESUMEN Con Giuseppe Verdi se amplificaron y superaron los límites del Bel Canto representado, fundamentalmente, por Rossini, Bellini y Donizetti. Se abrieron nuevos caminos para la lírica italiana y en la evolución que terminaría derivando en la eclosión del Verismo que se articuló en torno a una nutrida generación de autores como Leoncavallo, Mascagni o Puccini. Entre Verdi y la Giovane Scuola se situaron algunos compositores que constituyeron un puente entre ambos momentos creativos. Entre ellos destacó Amilcare Ponchielli (1834-1886), profesor de algunos de los músicos más destacados del Verismo y autor de una de las óperas más influyentes del momento: La Gioconda (1876-1880), estudiada en este artículo en sus singularidades formales y de contenido que, en varios aspectos, hacen que se adelante al modelo teórico verista. Por otra parte, se estudian también cuáles son los elementos que conserva de los compositores italianos precedentes y las influencias del modelo estético francés, lo que determina que la obra y su compositor sean de complicada clasificación, aunque habitualmente se le identifique incorrectamente con el Verismo. Palabras clave: Ponchielli; Verismo; Giovane Scuola; ópera; La Gioconda; Italia ABSTRACT With Giuseppe Verdi, the boundaries of Bel Canto were amplified and exceeded, mainly represented by Rossini, Bellini and Donizetti. New paths were opened for the Italian lyric and in the evolution that would end up leading to the emergence of Verismo that was articulated around a large generation of authors such as Leoncavallo, Mascagni or Puccini.
