    Media Contact: Justin Moss, [email protected] , 305-854-1643 ext. 1600 Florida Grand Opera Announces the 2008-09 Season at The Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts of Miami-Dade County and The Broward Center for the Performing Arts Season opens with a new production of Verdi’s La traviata November 15, 2008 Season highlights include Lakmé by Léo Delibes and New Superstar Concert Series featuring Dmitri Hvorostovsky, Marcello Giordani and Bryn Terfel Debuts include Latina sopranos Eglise Gutiérrez & Ailyn Pérez Celebrated tenor Stephen Costello July 1, 2008 - Miami, FL – Florida Grand Opera (FGO) will open its 68th season of grand opera on November 15, 2008 with a new production of Verdi’s La traviata, directed by Bliss Hebert with sets and costumes designed by Allen Charles Klein, whose production of Verdi’s Aïda opened FGO’s inaugural season at Carnival Center (now the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts of Miami-Dade County) in October 2006. La traviata, based on the Alexandre Dumas play La dame aux camellias, tells the story of Violetta Valéry, a courtesan who finds true love and is then forced to make a terrible sacrifice by an unforgiving society. Alternating in the role of Violetta Valéry are sopranos Eglise Gutiérrez and Ailyn Pérez. Opera News recently featured an article on Ms. Gutiérrez that stated, “The tiny Cuban- American soprano combines her vocal acuity with an emotional presence and a Method-like ability to listen moment-to-moment that makes her an opera-lover’s (and a theater-lover’s) dream.” Ms. Gutiérrez is a rising star of the international opera world only four years after making her professional debut as Lucia in Lucia di Lammermoor in Bogotá, Colombia.

  • LA VESTALE GASPARE SPONTINI Alessandro De Marchi & Eric Lacascade
    PRESS FILE OPERA LA VESTALE GASPARE SPONTINI Alessandro de Marchi & Eric Lacascade 13, 15, 17, 20, 22 October 2015 20:00 25 October 2015 15:00 CIRQUE ROYAL / KONINKLIJK CIRCUS Opéra en trois actes, version française Livret de Victor-Joseph Etienne de Jouy Premiere Salle Montsansier, Paris, 15/12/1807 NEW PRODUCTION I – INTRODUCTION WITH BIOGRAPHIES THE FLAMES OF THE VESTAL ALTAR SET THE SCORE ALIGHT Since La Vestale, not a note of music has been written that wasn’t stolen from my scores!’ Gaspare Spontini was himself aware of how innovative and influential his score was. He turned opera in a new direction by conceiving the whole score on the basis of a compelling dramatic conception involving naturalistic effects, orchestration, and musical form, thereby pointing the way for such opera composers as Rossini, Wagner, Berlioz, and Meyerbeer. As a grand opera it was ahead of its time and was full of spectacular scenes showing a Vestal Virgin’s forbidden love for a Roman general; it made Spontini the most important composer of the Napoleonic period. Here directing his first opera, the French stage director Éric Lacascade focuses on a highly topical subject: ‘More than passionate love, what is at stake in this opera is the liberation of a woman who frees herself from the power of religious authority.’ COMPOSER & WORK Born in 1774 in Italy, Gaspare Spontini (1774-1851) imposed a new style to French music, mixing his Neapolitan inspiration to the genre of French lyric tragedy and thus creating what may be termed as Grand Historic Opera. The Italian composer, who became French in 1817, began a brilliant career in Rome and Venice after his studies at the Royal Conservatory of Naples.

  • "Casta Diva" from Bellini's
    “Casta Diva” from Bellini's “Norma”--Rosa Ponselle; accompanied by the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra and Chorus, conducted by Giulio Setti (December 31, 1928 and January 30, 1929) Added to the National Registry: 2007 Essay by Judy Tsou (guest post)* Rosa Ponselle “Casta Diva” is the most famous aria of Vincenzo Bellini’s “Norma” (1831). It is sung by the title character, a Druidess or priestess of the Gauls, in the first act. The opera takes place in Gaul between 100 and 50 BCE when the Romans were occupiers. The Gauls want Norma to declare war on the Romans, who have been oppressing them. Norma is hesitant to do so because she is secretly in love with Pollione, the Roman proconsul, and with whom she has borne two children. She assuages the people’s anger and convinces them that this is not the right time to revolt. She asserts that the Romans will eventually fall by their own doing, and the Gauls do not need to rise up now. It is at this point that Norma sings “Casta Diva,” a prayer to the moon goddess for peace, and eventually, conquering the Romans. When things between her and Pollione go sour, Norma tries to kill their children but ultimately cannot bring herself to do so. Eventually, she confesses her relationship with Pollione and sacrifices herself on the funeral pyre of her lover. “Norma” was the first of two operas commissioned in 1830 for which Bellini was paid an unprecedented 12,000 lire. “Norma” premiered on December 26, 1831 at La Scala, and the second opera, “Beatrice di Tenda,” premiered in 1833, but in Venice (La Fenice).

  • September 2019 Bel Canto
    Newsletter of the September 2019 We begin our first full year as the Manatee Opera Guild. Let’s all work together to recruit new members as befits our new, geographically-expanded name! A big Thank You to Maryanne Hazen who followed through with our decision to change our name to Manatee Opera Guild. Over the summer, Maryanne was in contact with our bankers, Sarasota Opera Association and the state of Florida to legalize our name change. She skillfully navigated all the steps and cut through the red tape. We appreciate her efforts. Another big thank you to Jean Roberts who will be taking over the job of luncheon reservations/hospitality as of October. Jean has already finalized the menu choices for the year. Thanks to all the others who volunteered to step up with this responsibility. We will keep you in mind for other jobs like this one as the year progresses. I am happy to report that Cathy Beard is on the road to recovery. Good news! I hope everyone enjoyed their summer. The lucky ones were somewhere cooler and drier, but we year- rounders were able to catch some time, between raindrops, at the golf course, the pool and at the blissfully red-tide free beaches. A lack of red-tide this year is good news for the Opera too, both in terms of attendance and singers’ voices. We are looking forward to another year of great opera, great meetings, and fun-filled MOG events! You will find a full roster of our meetings and events in this newsletter, so hang onto it until the new directory comes out in October.

  • Yes, Virginia, Another Ballo Tragico: the National Library of Portugal’S Ballet D’Action Libretti from the First Half of the Nineteenth Century
    YES, VIRGINIA, ANOTHER BALLO TRAGICO: THE NATIONAL LIBRARY OF PORTUGAL’S BALLET D’ACTION LIBRETTI FROM THE FIRST HALF OF THE NINETEENTH CENTURY DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Ligia Ravenna Pinheiro, M.F.A., M.A., B.F.A. Graduate Program in Dance Studies The Ohio State University 2015 Dissertation Committee: Karen Eliot, Adviser Nena Couch Susan Petry Angelika Gerbes Copyright by Ligia Ravenna Pinheiro 2015 ABSTRACT The Real Theatro de São Carlos de Lisboa employed Italian choreographers from its inauguration in 1793 to the middle of the nineteenth century. Many libretti for the ballets produced for the S. Carlos Theater have survived and are now housed in the National Library of Portugal. This dissertation focuses on the narratives of the libretti in this collection, and their importance as documentation of ballets of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, from the inauguration of the S. Carlos Theater in 1793 to 1850. This period of dance history, which has not received much attention by dance scholars, links the earlier baroque dance era of the eighteenth century with the style of ballet of the 1830s to the 1850s. Portugal had been associated with Italian art and artists since the beginning of the eighteenth century. This artistic relationship continued through the final decades of the eighteenth and the first half of the nineteenth century. The majority of the choreographers working in Lisbon were Italian, and the works they created for the S. Carlos Theater followed the Italian style of ballet d’action.
