Copyright 2010, Michigan Opera Theatre BALDWIN THE MOST TALKED ABOUT PIANO IN THE WORLD "Baldwin ... is in itself a magnificently sensitive and brilliant SS-piece ensem ble ... completely satisfying to me both as Pianist and Conductor." .. . Leonard Bernstein

The New Baldwin Concert Grand is heralded by artist, audiences and critics alike as the Piano of the Century ... it is the result of a constant search for perfection, through 110 years of uninterrupted piano building, without change of ownership.

"If Beethoven had had a piano like that (Baldwin) the course of music would have been radically altered."

Robert CommandaY3 San Francisco Chronicle-August 9 3 1966

"The evening was further enhanced by the magnificent tones of one of the finest concert grands I have ever heard -- another of those remarkable new Baldwin instruments." Harris Goldsmith3 High Fidelity/Musical American-January 1966

"The carrying power was imposing, something for which the Brahms Second provides a really severe test ... There has been a significant technological advance in pianos in decades ... We might all wind up being grateful to Baldwin for forcing a development."

Michael Steinberg3 The Boston Sunday Globe-May 8 3 1966

"The~e was another contributing factor, too, the piano itself ... I cannot remember, in fact, hearing any make of piano with a better, truer, more musical treble right up to the top ... It 1S clear that the Baldwin people have taken a big forward step with this new instrument."

Alan Rich, New York Herald-Tribune-October 28 3 1965

OF THE DETROIT GRAND OPERA ASSOCIATION

The Music Hall Theatre Detroit, Michigan

September 28 - December 16, 1972

DA VID DiCJIIERA, ROBERT M. HEUER, General Director Managing Director

Detroit has done it again! A beautiful theatre, outstanding singers, and enthusiastic audiences have ensured that opera theatre is here to stay. Over ture to Opera, recently accepted into OPERA American (the organization to which all major opera companies belong), opens its season for the second time in an ideal setting - The Music Hall Theatre.

This season our productions span three centuries of opera, from Mozart to Menotti. A varied repertoire has been characteristic of Overture to Opera - last year we presented a rock opera, and Puccini's La Rondine with so prano Nancy Shade. On our drawing boards for the future are ideas for productions of works by Offenbach, Barber and Verdi. We wiU continue to present familar as well as less-famous operas, always emphasizing the fact David DiChiera that opera is, above all, theatre.

As a regional company, our casts consist primarily of the finest professional artists in the Great Lakes area, as well as outstanding young singers from around the country. New dimensions are added when major international stars such as Phyllis Curtin perform with us.

Overture will continue with its extensive in-school educational program. New is the Opera in Residence Program beginning in February, in which Michigan communities will host the Overture Company in their town for a week of opera experience. The week will include classes, workshops and a full production.

Overture is grateful for the gTant from the National Endowment for the Arts which will enable us to carry our Tosca to Flint and Kalamazoo. We wish again to extend heartfelt thanks to the many volunteers whose behind-the-scenes labors have sustained and strengthened us.

Every great city needs a full gamut of cultural offerings. Overture to Opera is proud to provide the citizens of Southeastern Michigan with a full season of opera, thus joining the theatres, the Detroit Symphony and the Institute of Arts in offering Detroiters yet another outlet for their multi-faceted interests. Your generous contributions are making Overture possible, but your enthusiastic reception as an Copyright 2010, Michigan Opera Theatre audience gives the company the spiritual support that cannot be measured.

Miss Green spon has been and will remain a great gift to the musical theatre." Subsequently, Miss Greenspon was chosen by Menotti himself to create the role for the famed Festival of Two Worlds in Spoleto, Italy. Crit ical acclaim was so overwhelming that Miss Greenspon was asked to return the following season for an unprecedented repeat production. Miss Greenspon, a native Detroiter, is considered the world's leading interpreter of the role.
