As we count down to 2017, we look forward to the changes that time will bring. There will be new challenges, new hopes--and for Light Opera Works, a new name: Music Theater Works! I can’t think of a better way to celebrate this change than by putting one of the world’s great operettas on our stage, as a fitting and festive end to the Light Opera Works era. As we move forward, be assured that our new name was chosen to embrace even more of the musical theater repertoire we all love, and to reflect the evolution that has has already taken place in the company since its founding in 1981. Tradition has always been important at Light Opera Works, and will continue to be at Music Theater Works. We have always been committed to giving you a great experience, presenting great performances of great works. Our name is changing, but that commitment will not. I’ve been with the company over 10 years now, I’ve had the pleasure to get to know many of you. I continue to be humbled and grateful by your support. My thanks to all of you. Happy New Year! Rudy Hogenmiller Artistic Director DIE FLEDERMAUS is the third of Strauss’ 16 extant stage works, and premiered in Vienna at the Theater an der Wien on April 5, 1874.

  • Precious Nonsense
    Precious Nonsense NEWSLETTER OF THE MIDWESTERN GILBERT AND SULLIVAN SOCIETY June 2002 -- Issue 64 When but a maid of fifteen year, Unsought -- unplighted-- Short-petticoated -- and, I fear, Still shorter--sighted My, that sounds ominous! It isn't meant to be, any more than the use of plain return address labels, instead of the usual M GS heading. (I just w ound up with a stack of them, and hated to let them go to waste. We'll probably have another mailing with them: there's still a big stack!) No, it just means that seventeen years ago, when the Midwestern Gilbert and Sullivan Society started, I didn't realize putting together a newsletter could take so long. (It also means that about twelve years of yard work and house repair are catching up with me: thank you, as always, for your patience! And does anyone know any quick and effective way to clean a wooden deck that doesn't require renting a pressure sprayer? I shou ldn't be sorry to learn it!) Let me know if you're interested: I'll be glad to write you a Christmas letter about what all's been going on (a Christmas-in-July letter, maybe). And if you aren't, I don't blame you. But before we go further, have we (or more accurately, The American Concert Band / Detroit Concert Band) got something for you (if you have a record player)! Several months ago, Mary Lou Hornberger of the Concert Band sent the MGS a boxful of LP recordings of their album Through the Years with Sousa, Volume 10 of their series of recordings of all the marches of John Philip Sousa.

  • La Traviata – World Renowned Cast LA Opera Season Opener Attended by Placido Domingo
    < Back to previous page Home > Arts & Entertainment > Theatre | Region: United States > Southern California La Traviata – World Renowned Cast LA Opera Season Opener Attended by Placido Domingo By Ester Molayeme Sep 17, 2006 Special to The Epoch Times LOS ANGELES—Opening the 2006/07 Season of the LA Opera is the special presentation of Giuseppe Verdi's La Traviata, visually stunning, with the world renowned cast of Renée Fleming, Rolando Villazόn, and Renato Bruson. La Traviata marks LA Opera's first filming of the stage performance for DVD release by Decca. The sold-out Opening Night Gala on Saturday, September 9, 2006, at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, was marked by spectacular elegance. Fashionably dressed celebrities walked on the Pavilion's red carpet under the bright, reflecting chandeliers. Receiving a warm welcome was the LA Opera's new music director, James Conlon, who was for over 25 years associated with the Metropolitan Opera, for 10 years as the Principal Conductor of the Paris Opera, and who appeared in many of the world's most important opera companies, such as La Scala, and the Royal Opera House Covent Garden, among others. La Traviata is one of Verdi's most performed operas for its extraordinary arias filled with beautiful coloratura. Early in the performance we see the American soprano Renée Fleming shining as the beautiful, charming, and very vulnerable Violetta Valéry, who bears her soul to her new admirer, Alfredo Germont. SOPRANO: Renée Fleming stars in La Traviata as Violetta. (Andrew Eccles/Decca) In "Un di' felice eterea" Alfredo declares his love for Violetta with touching sincerity.
