Jake Heggie's out of Darkness Contact: Erika Beach, Director of Marketing Pensacola Opera Phone: 850-433-6737 Fax: 850-433-1082 Email: [email protected] Website: www.pensacolaopera.com FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: MARCH 2, 2016 PENSACOLA OPERA PRESENTS JAKE HEGGIE’S OUT OF DARKNESS March 31, April 1 and 2 at 7:30 p.m.; Sunday, April 3 at 2:00 p.m. At the Pensacola Opera Center | $35 March 31; $25 April 1-3 Pensacola, FL – Pensacola Opera is pleased to present Jake Heggie’s Out of Darkness, an opera in three parts in remembrance of the Holocaust, Thursday, March 31 through Saturday, April 2 at 7:30pm and Sunday, April 3 at 2:00 p.m. at the Pensacola Opera Center. Tickets are $35 for opening night (includes reception) and $25 for the remaining performances. Tickets can be purchased by calling (850) 433-6737 or ordering online at pensacolaopera.com. In Out of Darkness, composer Jake Heggie and Librettist Gene Scheer convey the vastness of the Holocaust’s scope through emotionally rich portraits of those caught in its grasp. The three powerfully raw works that comprise Out of Darkness are based upon the recollections and poetry of Auschwitz survivor Krystyna Zywulska, offering compelling musical witness to survival in the face of unimaginable adversity. Another Sunrise tells the amazing story of Krystyna Zywulska who, after being captured as a member of the Polish resistance, created poems and songs that circulated secretly and became anthems of defiance among her fellow prisoners. Farewell, Auschwitz adapts Krystyna’s lyrics, with their exhortations to preserve a sense of humanity in a place defined by inhuman behavior. For a Look or a Touch illuminates Nazi persecution of homosexuals, informing historical realities through an intensely intimate story of memory and loss. This production will be directed by Dugg McDonough with Xavier Suarez as pianist. Casting features Pensacola Opera’s 2016 Artists in Residence: Allison Nicholas as Krystyna, Amanda Fink as Zosha, Thaddeus Ennen as Manfred Lewin, and Nicholas DeMeo as Gad Beck. Jake Heggie Bio: Jake Heggie is the composer of the operas Dead Man Walking, Moby-Dick, Great Scott, Three Decembers, Out of Darkness, and the choral opera, The Radio Hour, among others.

  • Past TRC Productions
    TRINITY REPERTORY COMPANY 201 Washington Street, Providence, RI 02903 PAST PRODUCTIONS Counting seasons: In the official count of seasons (1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.), it may have been decided in 1970 to not count 1963-64 as the first season. Or a mistake in a brochure may have never been caught until it was much too late. Subscription brochures for the 1969-70 Season and 1970-71 Season both refer to the upcoming season as the 7th Season. Brochures for the 1967-68 and 1968-69 Seasons refer to them respectively as the 5th and 6th Seasons, but a brochure for the 1965-66 Season refers to that as the “second full season.” During the 1963-64 Season, Trinity Players on the Square was not a fully professional company and there were no actual performances in 1963. 1964-65 was the first full season with Adrian Hall as artistic director and Equity contracts. The counting of the seasons proceeded consecutively from the second 7th Season. *World Premiere Production **American Premiere Production ***Pre-Season Productions + Booked-In, Rental, Competition Winner, Special Presentation, or Co-Production 1963-1964 Season • 1st Director Playwright Designers The Hostage Ira Zuckerman Brendan Behan Sets: Sandra Tilles Costumes: Joyce Anderson Lighting: Thomas J.

  • Opera SAN JOSÉ
    2018 | 2019 SEASON Opera SAN JOSÉ Celebrating 35 YEARS of Excellence Message from General Director Larry Hancock I suspect that it is impossible to say in few words what Melville’s Moby- Dick is about. It seems to be about everything. It may be doubtful that anyone can say precisely what any great work of literature is about. In Search of Lost Time, War and Peace, Middlemarch, Great Expectations, Moby-Dick…The words string along, leading into deeper knowledge page after page, clearer understanding character by character, so that after 800 pages of, say, Middlemarch, you put the book down and know…what? That humanity is…what? That life is lived… how? By whom? But you know you’ve learned something. The search for a more concise meaning is a bit easier after epic literature has been put in the crucible of opera and rendered. Opera, using music, with its layered emotions, penetrates instantaneously on many levels and at once. The sounding of a single chord can convey a whole page of description. Composer Jake Heggie and librettist Gene Scheer have distilled Melville’s epic from 24 hours and 38 minutes (the duration of the audiobook) to three hours of music. Anything that is not essential to the narrative, and a great portion of Melville’s revolutionary novel is not narrative, has been set aside, and as a stage doesn’t provide scene changes by beginning new paragraphs, some words that were spoken in different times and other places have been moved into the here and now, and realizations in the novel that emerge only after long introspective monologues are expressed in a flash, expanded in meaning by an entire orchestra.
