San Diego Symphony Announces 2015-2016 City Lights and International Passport Series San Diego Symphony News Release Jacobs Music Center Copley Symphony Hall www.sandiegosymphony.com Contact: April 16, 2015 Stephen Kougias Director of Public Relations 619.615.3951 [email protected] __________________________________________________________________________ San Diego Symphony Announces 2015-2016 City Lights and International Passport Series Highlights include: A Tribute to Marvin Hamlisch, ‘Seinfeld’s’ Jason Alexander, Cirque Musica, Moscow Festival Ballet, TAO: Seventeen Samurai. The San Diego Symphony now shines the spotlight on its 2015-2016 City Lights pops lineup and International Passport Series, which features musical acts from around the world. Both series take place at the Jacobs Music Center – Copley Symphony Hall in downtown San Diego. City Lights Marvin Hamlisch, San Diego Symphony’s former principal pops conductor, will be honored by a trio of Broadway veterans in One Singular Sensation (March 4) in next season’s pops-themed City Lights Series. These Broadway artists include Tony Award-winning Donna McKechnie (A Chorus Line), Tony Award-nominee Jodi Benson (Crazy for You) and Phantom of the Opera’s Doug LeBrecque. This show salutes Marvin Hamlisch, a giant in the entertainment business— and one of the most celebrated composers of stage and screen including A Chorus Line, The Way We Were, They’re Playing Our Song, Ordinary People and Sophie’s Choice to name a few. Seinfeld star and Tony Award-winning Broadway actor Jason Alexander brings the songs of the musical theater plus laughter and surprises to San Diego’s Jacobs Music Center on April 8 and 9. Best known for his role as George Costanza on Seinfeld, he has also had an active career on stage appearing in several Broadway musicals including Jerome Robbins’ Broadway for which he won the Tony Award as Best Leading Actor in a Musical. Previously scheduled to appear at San Diego Symphony’s Summer Pops on August 23, 2015, Jason instead will be returning to Broadway this summer in Larry David’s mega-hit, Fish in the Dark. The San Diego Symphony looks forward to Jason Alexander being part of its exciting City Lights lineup next April at the Jacobs Music Center. “In an ongoing effort to reach an even wider audience, we are extraordinarily pleased to announce next season’s City Lights with such an appealing array of popular entertainment along with artists from around the world in our International Passport Series,” stated Martha Gilmer, chief executive officer of the San Diego Symphony. “This coming season offers something for everyone, from a salute to Broadway’s legendary Marvin Hamlisch to the versatile Tony Award-winning Jason Alexander whom we all know and love from TV’s Seinfeld. And for even more music, song and dance, our International Passport Series is a colorful and thrilling extravaganza that will take audiences on a journey around the globe.” City Lights begins the season with two movies. First up: Disney in Concert: Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas featuring the music of Danny Elfman (October 30 and 31). The movie will be projected onto the big screen while the San Diego Symphony performs Danny Elfman’s score. Next: E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (November 13). This blockbuster movie, perfect for the entire family is filed with unparalleled magic and imagination. Once again, the San Diego Symphony will perform John Williams’ Oscar-winning score live on stage while the movie is show in HD on the big screen. Always a traditional favorite with San Diego audiences, San Diego Symphony’s Holiday Pops returns (December 18-20)—this time featuring Cirque Musica filled with acrobats, jugglers demonstrating strength balance, daring and sheer beauty. City Lights continues on February 6 with singer/songwriter and alternative pop/rock superstar, Ben Folds, who brings his repertoire of hits along with his new concerto for piano and orchestra to the Jacobs Music Center. International Passport Series A mere three weeks after the Symphony’s outdoor Summer Pops extravaganza ends on Labor Day Weekend, the entertainment moves indoors starting with the International Passport Series. These presentations do not include the San Diego Symphony but offer a variety of musical acts from around the globe including countries represented this coming season: China, India, Japan, Russia, Spain, United Kingdom and the United States.

  • An Analysis of Hegemonic Social Structures in "Friends"
    "I'LL BE THERE FOR YOU" IF YOU ARE JUST LIKE ME: AN ANALYSIS OF HEGEMONIC SOCIAL STRUCTURES IN "FRIENDS" Lisa Marie Marshall A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2007 Committee: Katherine A. Bradshaw, Advisor Audrey E. Ellenwood Graduate Faculty Representative James C. Foust Lynda Dee Dixon © 2007 Lisa Marshall All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Katherine A. Bradshaw, Advisor The purpose of this dissertation is to analyze the dominant ideologies and hegemonic social constructs the television series Friends communicates in regard to friendship practices, gender roles, racial representations, and social class in order to suggest relationships between the series and social patterns in the broader culture. This dissertation describes the importance of studying television content and its relationship to media culture and social influence. The analysis included a quantitative content analysis of friendship maintenance, and a qualitative textual analysis of alternative families, gender, race, and class representations. The analysis found the characters displayed actions of selectivity, only accepting a small group of friends in their social circle based on friendship, gender, race, and social class distinctions as the six characters formed a culture that no one else was allowed to enter. iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This project stems from countless years of watching and appreciating television. When I was in college, a good friend told me about a series that featured six young people who discussed their lives over countless cups of coffee. Even though the series was in its seventh year at the time, I did not start to watch the show until that season.

    | What to e xpect from don pasquale Some opera S Stir the Soul. Some chill audience S to the The Work: bone. Some are bittersweet, and many are tragic. Don Pasquale is pure, don pasquale unadulterated farce, set to music that’s sparkling, brainy, and jaw-droppingly music by Gaetano donizetti (1797–1848) demanding—and yet it touches on deeper levels of emotion that make it one of the great humane comedies in opera. Gaetano Donizetti’s tale of an an opera in three acts, sung in italian old bachelor and the loved ones who trick him into doing the right thing libretto by Giovanni ruffini and the feels as fresh as any recent movie or TV show, though it’s been charming composer music lovers for nearly 170 years. first performed on January 3, 1843 at Russian diva Anna Netrebko, previously seen in the Live in HD transmis- the théatre italien, paris, france sions of Gounod’s romantic Roméo et Juliette, Offenbach’s fantastical Les Contes d’Hoffmann, and Donizetti’s own tragic Lucia di Lammermoor, now ProDUCTIoN turns to comedy.

  • The Italian Girl in Algiers
    ROSSINI’S THE ITALIAN GIRL IN ALGIERS AN IN-DEPTH GUIDE © 2007 Michal Daniel Written by Stu Lewis ROSSINI’S WOMAN OF VALOR “Cruda sorte” – cruel fate! These are the first words we hear from Isabella, the title character of Rossini’s L’Italiana in Algeri (The Italian Girl in Algiers). Captured by pirates, looking – in vain, she believes – for her lover, soon to be forced to become part of an Arab potentate’s harem, she certainly is someone who has the right to sing the blues, or at least the nineteenth- century Italian equivalent. And so she does – for twenty-six bars – which is all the time that a Rossini heroine has for self-pity. As she moves to the up-tempo cabaletta, she reminds us that no man, however powerful, could possibly control an intelligent woman. And so it goes with the Rossini mezzo. Like Rosina in The Barber of Seville, who acts docile as long as she has her way and turns into a viper when she doesn’t, Isabella clearly has the inner resources to come out on top. Critic Andreas Richter calls her a “female Don Giovanni” – albeit, without the latter’s amorality. As the Don had the three principal female characters in the opera gravitating toward him, Isabella wins the affection of three men – one of each voice type – manipulating two of them mercilessly. (Another similarity: like Mozart’s opera, l’Italiana is labelled a “dramma giocosa” – a jolly drama). L’Italiana is a rescue opera, but, as Beethoven was to do years later in Fidelio, Rossini and Anelli turn the rescue theme on its head by making the woman the rescuer.

  • Bridging the Gap Between Opera and Musical Theatre
    The Crossover Opera Singer: Bridging the Gap Between Opera and Musical Theatre D.M.A. DOCUMENT Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Musical Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Keyona Willis-Lynam, M.M Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2015 D.M.A. Document Committee: J. Robin Rice, Advisor Joe Duchi Kristine Kearney Copyright by Keyona Willis-Lynam 2015 Abstract For decades, a divide has existed between opera and musical theatre, with the lesser value being placed upon the latter. Singers, from the start of their training, are told to choose a genre if one wants to achieve any type of singing success. This type of division creates a chasm of isolation and misunderstanding between the musical styles. From academia, to the stage, to the concert goer, one’s allegiance to opera versus musical theatre has been built upon a firm foundation of contrast, without acknowledging that both genres have ties to one another. As a result, most teaching of singing is done from the perspective of the classical singing style, with little to no mention of how to efficiently and healthily sing in a musical theatre style. In today’s social and economic climate, opera houses across the United States and abroad are seeing a decline in ticket sales; some have been able to restructure to survive, while others are shutting down. Companies are seeking a variety of ways to stay connected to the community; one avenue that has produced an area of contention is the addition of musical theatre productions to the season’s billing.
