In musical terms, the 2016 version is even stronger, especially 12–20 February 2016 the contributions of the orchestra, due in great part to the added forces supplied by the Kennedy Center and WNO, particularly the dark richness of added violas. Conductor John DeMain’s Kurt Weill and Maxwell Anderson’s Lost in the Stars sailed into authoritative command of Weill’s score brought the powerful the Kennedy Center this February captained by Washington music to the forefront. National Opera’s Artistic Director Francesca Zambello. The The sound of the men in the Chorus reminds me of the production was an important event in the nation’s capital, not powerful South African tradition of male ensembles, rooted in only amplifying pressing conversations about race and unequal the practice of corralling Black miners in stockades, with music justice but broadening an artistic question in what has become their only emotional outlet. Through the choral writing, the a rich musical-theater nexus—what is musical theater? Lost nation itself becomes a character, with the first act establishing the in the Stars has been a challenge to define since it debuted on context and letting music invoke the work’s panoramic feel and Broadway, where it met mixed critical response. It has continued grand themes. The audience is challenged to feel the loneliness of to perplex many critics who try ungraciously to fit it into a pre- living in fear of “the other,” and to consider how fear and greed existing genre.

Microfilms International 300 N
INFORMATION TO USERS This reproduction was made from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technology has -been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image of the page can be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photographed, a definite method of “sectioning” the material has been followed. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.

Cross Gender Roles in Opera
Boys Will Be Girls, Girls Will Be Boys: Cross Gender Roles in Opera University at Buffalo Music Library Exhibit October 1, 2003-January 9, 2004 An exhibit focusing on the high-voiced male castrato singers and on “pants roles,” in which women sing male roles. Created in conjunction with “Gender Week @ UB” 2003. Curated by Nara Newcomer CASE 1: Castrati : Introduction The opera stage is one place where gender roles have always been blurred, disguised, even switched – possibly multiple times within the course of an opera! Italian composers of seventeenth and eighteenth century opera seria (“serious opera” – as distinguished from comic opera) were especially free in this regard, largely connected with the high-voiced male castrati. Such traditions are not solely confined to that era, however. This exhibit will examine gender roles in opera, focusing on the castrati and upon operatic travesty, specifically upon breeches parts (“pants roles”). The photographs in the section of the exhibit on breeches parts come from the Music Library’s J. Warren Perry Collection of Memorabilia which includes over 2,000 photographs, largely operatic. Many of the photographs bear the singer’s autographs and are inscribed to Dr. Perry. A castrato is a type of high-voiced male singer, produced by castrating young boys with promising voices before they reached puberty. Castrati rose to prominence in the Italian opera seria of the 17th and 18th centuries. They were the prima donnas, even the rock stars, of their day. Somewhat ironically, however, the era of castrati both began and ended in the church. Castrati are known to have existed in Western Europe by the 1550’s and were present for centuries before in the Byzantine church.
