    Wuthering Heights Artist Biographies Jesse Blumberg (Mr. Lockwood) Baritone Jesse Blumberg is an artist equally at home on opera, concert, and recital stages. Last season, he performed the role of the Celebrant in Bernstein's Mass at London's Royal Festival Hall under the baton of Marin Alsop, debuted with Boston Lyric Opera as Harlekin in Ariadne auf Naxos, and performed recitals in Paris with the Mirror Visions Ensemble. In 2007, he created the role of Connie Rivers in The Grapes of Wrath (recorded by P.S. Classics) at the Minnesota Opera, and later made his Utah and Pittsburgh Opera debuts in the same production. Other recent appearances include leading and featured roles with Annapolis Opera, Opera Delaware, Opera Vivente and the Boston Early Music Festival. In concert, Jesse has been a featured soloist with American Bach Soloists, Los Angeles Master Chorale, Sacred Music in a Sacred Space and the Berkshire Choral Festival. He has also given the world premieres of two important chamber works: Ricky Ian Gordon's Green Sneakers (recorded by Blue Griffin Recording) and Lisa Bielawa's The Lay of the Love and Death, the former at the Vail Valley Music Festival, and the latter at Alice Tully Hall. He has toured with the Mark Morris Dance Group and the Waverly Consort, and given recitals for the Marilyn Horne Foundation. Last season, he and pianist Martin Katz performed Schubert's two monumental song cycles, Die schöne Müllerin and Winterreise, over one weekend in Ann Arbor, and will soon repeat this pairing in New York City. Jesse has been recognized in many song and opera competitions, and in 2008 was awarded Third Prize at the International Robert Schumann Competition in Zwickau, becoming its first American prizewinner in over thirty years.

  • Wexford Festival Opera 2010 Lorem Ipsum Dolor Sit Amet Back on a Winning Track
    Opera con Brio, LLC November 2010 Opera con Brio Fall 2010 Richard B. Beams Wexford Festival Opera 2010 Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet Back on a Winning Track Wexford Festival Opera, now in its 59th year, is back on a winning track. Having moved into a grand new theatre two years ago, just as a crippling recession hit, survival, as for many companies, has been precarious indeed. But survive it has, glowingly, after a scaled-back season last year missing the very popular ShortWorks operas. However, this year’s expanded season not only brought these back but also offered three first-rate productions in the main house, as well as a full schedule of daytime concerts. Although I was unable to attend any orchestral and choral concerts, the varied performances I did attend attest not only to a revitalized Festival but also to its continued high standards of artistic achievement. During three sparkling, sunny days, October 19-21, these performances included: the three main stage operas, three ShortWorks operas, and three of the twelve daytime recitals. Three sparkling days indeed! The Main Stage Operas A triumphant Kiss The jewel of the Wexford season was Bedřich Smetana’s charming 1876 folk opera Hubička (The Kiss), which he himself dubbed a “simple national opera…a thoroughly dignified comedy,” full of natural and irresistible humor. And so it was in Wexford, in a simple yet captivating production. Unlike their 1974 performance in English, Wexford presented the opera in the original Czech. In 2012 Opera Theatre of St. Louis will perform this shared production, in English, as they always do.

  • ROBERTO DEVEREUX Composer Biography: Gaetano Donizetti
    ROBERTO DEVEREUX Composer Biography: Gaetano Donizetti With nearly 70 operas to his credit, Gaetano Donizetti (November 29, 1719 – April 8, 1848) was a leading Italian composer of the 19th century. He was born in the northern Italian city of Bergamo in 1797 to a poor family. After showing some musical talent, he was enrolled in the townʼs music school where he received free lessons. Donizetti continued his education at the Philharmonic Academy in Bologna. He received his first commission in 1818 from the Teatro San Luce in Venice. Soon he moved to Rome, where in 1822 he would have his first major success, Zoraide di Grenata. His career was just getting started. Later that year Donizetti settled in Naples and used it as a base from the next 16 years. He was able to work at the increasingly rapid pace demanded by the Italian theater industry and produced three to four operas a year for most of his life. In fact, he wrote The Elixir of Love in just eight days! During this period Donizetti successfully wrote both comic and tragic operas such as The Daughter of the Regiment (1840) and Lucia de Lammermoor (1835). Donizettiʼs success in dealing with both comic and tragic settings was due in part to his own manic-depressive personality. Well-acquainted with personal misfortune, he lost in the span of eight years his mother, his father, two infant sons, an infant daughter and Virginia Vasselli, his wife of seven years. The composer never truly recuperated after her death, refusing to utter her name ever again.

  • The City of Rome Virginia Jewiss, WHC 323 Hums 444 Fall 2020
    The City of Rome Virginia Jewiss, WHC 323 Hums 444 Fall 2020 “The entire history of the world is linked up with this city, and I reckon my second life, a very rebirth, from the day when I entered Rome.” Goethe, December 3, 1786 Course Description: Rome was Troy’s destiny and Aeneas’s new home. Under the Caesars, Rome was the Caput Mundi, and became the seat of the most extraordinary imperial power the world has ever known. In Rome, Peter became the Rock of the Church, and the city remains the indisputable center of western Christendom. The Renaissance took its inspiration from ancient Rome, while the Reformation rejected papal authority and the opulence of Rome. Romanticism was born among Rome’s ruins. The French and American Revolutions embraced Rome’s political ideals, while Nazism and Fascism usurped its imperial legacy. Since its founding, Rome has been at the center of a rich exchange with other civilizations in the Mediterranean and beyond. Rome remains a mecca for pilgrims and a shrine for artists, the point of intersection for the great forces of European civilization, a battleground in the unending war of Church and state, and a crossroads for all cultures. Rome is thus a living template for the fecund dialogue of the humanities: the multiple layers of history and the intersection of arts and politics are ever-present in its urban landscape and cultural imagination. Nothing is simply ancient history here. This course will study the city of Rome from its legendary origins to its role in post-war Europe.
