January 2020 FEBRUARY 2020 VOLUME 14 ISSUE 5 REGISTER NOW FOR M. BUTTERFLY LECTURE MARK TIARKS ON M. BUTTERFLY THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 5:30PM SANTA FE WOMAN’S CLUB 1616 OLD PECOS TRAIL FREE FOR GUILD MEMBERS; $10 FOR NON-MEMBERS When M. Butterfly premieres during The Santa Fe Opera’s 2020 season, it will be an opera that’s based on a play that’s based on an opera that’s based on a play that’s based on a short story that’s based on a novel. This talk by Mark Tiarks looks at the complex genesis of this new piece, beginning with Pierre Loti’s 1887 novel Madame Chrysanthème and John Luther Long’s 1898 short story inspired by Madame Butterfly. Impresario David Belasco adapted the short story for the New York stage, where it was an unexpected smash hit in 1900. Puccini saw the play in London and insisted on securing the rights for his 1904 opera Madama Butterfly. David Henry Hwang, in turn, used it as inspiration for his 1988 Tony Award-winning play M. Butterfly. Along the way there were film adaptations of the opera (including one without Puccini’s music which starred Cary Grant as Pinkerton!) and of Hwang’s play, starring Jeremy Irons. M. Butterfly has been given new life as an opera by librettist Hwang and composer Huang Ruo. M. Butterfly makes its world premiere this summer in Santa Fe. Don’t miss this opportunity to hear one of our favorite speakers and learn the background of this exciting new opera. The talk will be on Thursday, February 13 at the Santa Fe Woman’s Club, beginning at 5:30PM. This event is free for members, but we are asking everyone to register by clicking here or phoning 888-666-3430 x503.

DESIRÉE MAYS: TRISTAN UND ISOLDE INTRODUCTION TO TRISTAN UND ISOLDE, PART I THURSDAY, MARCH 26, 5:30PM SANTA FE WOMAN’S CLUB 1616 OLD PECOS TRAIL FREE FOR GUILD MEMBERS; $10 FOR NON-MEMBERS In the words of a medieval troubadour: "If you would hear a tale of love and death, here is that of Tristan and Queen Iseult, how to their full joy, but to their sorrow also, they loved each other, and how at last they died of that love together upon one day." The back story to this tale, how Tristan and Isolde met in Ireland and how he came to bring her by sea to Cornwall, not for himself, but for his uncle King Marke, will be discussed as the introduction to Richard Wagner's great tribute to Love - and Death. Wagner wrote in 1854: "As I have never in my life tasted the true joy of love, I will raise a monument to this loveliest of all dreams." This statement from the heart of Wagner and Romanticism itself informs the soul of the work in music that is unsurpassed in terms of love and longing. Desirée will discuss the story, in her own inimitable style, and play music excerpts. What is the phenomenon of Wagner and his transformative music?" Please register for Tristan und Isolde, Part I by clicking here, to attend this informative Guild-sponsored lecture on Thursday, March 26th, 5:30PM at the Santa Fe Woman’s Club call 888-666-3430x503 The Tristan Chord: Digging Deeper, Part II is being held at Collected Works Bookstore, 202 Galisteo on Wednesday, April 29 at 6PM. In this talk Desirée explores Bryan Magee's book, The Tristan Chord, "the most famous single chord in the history of music." Desirée will discuss different philosophical approaches to Tristan und Isolde, a love story that has mesmerized generations of opera goers. She will discuss the life of Richard Wagner at the time of the composition of the opera, and his relationship with Mathilde Wesendonck, his muse and intimate friend. Desirée Mays continues to lecture states-wide on opera, currently at The Metropolitan Opera in New York, and to Wagner Societies in San Francisco and Los Angeles. She also gives talks at Collected Works before MET Live in HD screenings at The Lensic. SAVE THE DATE│BACKSTAGE PREVIEW Mark your calendars for Saturday, April 18.

RENESAN FEATURES OPERA LECTURES IFAN PAYNE: STAGING OPERA INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE BOX MONDAY, MARCH 2, 3:15PM – 5:15PM MARK TIARKS: THE SANTA FE OPERA 2020 SEASON THURSDAY, MARCH 12, 19, 26; APRIL 2, 9, 10AM-NOON RENESAN INSTITUTE FOR LIFELONG LEARNING ST. JOHN’S UNITED METHODIST CHURCH 1200 OLD PECOS TRAIL Following last year’s successful collaboration with the Santa Fe Opera Guild, The ABC’s of Opera, RENESAN has included two opera lectures in the Spring, 2020 curriculum. The following course descriptions are excerpted from the Spring Catalogue. Staging Opera Inside and Outside the Box: The recent Santa Fe Opera production of Mozart’s Cosi fan tutte on an almost bare stage seems to have split the audience with strongly held, passionately expressed views both for and against the production. The changing styles of opera production will be explored from Jacopo Peri’s candle-lit Dafne of 1597 to the video and electronic productions of today. Using visual and video illustrations, we will explore the history of opera production and compare the various ways in which directors have staged operas. Some are intended to mainly illustrate the opera, others have left the context to the imagination. Some directors place their operas in a particular time and place, others attempt to create an experience that is timeless and universally relevant. Should an opera production be narrative-based, placed in a particular location, or should the production be based on the interactions between the characters? Or should it be a showcase for the music and performers? How do these approaches relate to the composer’s intentions, and should it matter? Ifan Payne has a BA in Architecture with a Bachelor’s thesis on Adaptable Theatres, and a PhD in Architectural Psychology. He has been a prolific performing arts critic with over 2000 published articles in the United States and United Kingdom encompassing opera and theater productions on two continents as well as classical, popular, and jazz concerts, and reviewed recordings of music of almost every genre. The Santa Fe Opera Season 2020: This is a five-session course, with one for each production in the 2020 Santa Fe Opera season. All sessions will feature audio and video excerpts, extensive visual imagery, and a behind-the-scenes look at each opera’s gestation. The Barber of Seville (Rossini) What’s a lovelorn Count to do when he hopes to win the hand of the clever Rosina? He enlists the help of Figaro, the Barber of Seville, who can untangle any knotty problem. The Magic Flute (Mozart): A serpent, a bird catcher, and a magic flute send Prince Tamino on a quest to rescue his Princess Pamina. Will her mother, the Queen of the Night, be able to stop him? Tristan und Isolde (Wagner): One of the most epic love stories ever told, starting with the famous chords that changed music forever. Rusalka (Dvorak): A young water nymph risks everything for love when she marries a human prince. M. Butterfly (Hwang and Ruo) (World Premier): A French diplomat falls in love with a beautiful Chinese opera singer, but she holds shocking secrets which eventually bring him ruin. Broadway’s smash hit is transformed to operatic form. Music by Huang Ruo, libretto by David Henry Hwang, based on his 1988 play which won the Tony Award for Best Play. Mark Tiarks was Santa Fe Opera’s Director of Planning and Marketing for 11 seasons. His most recent RENESAN course was “The Music of Kurt Weill: From ‘Mack the Knife’ to ‘September Song’ ” in Fall, 2019. While both lectures are in March, RENESAN registration is open now.

  • The Element of List in Thirteenth-Century Courtly Romances, with Emphasis on Heinrich Von Dem Türlin’S Diu Crône
    “MIT GRÔZEN LISTEN WART GESTALT”: THE ELEMENT OF LIST IN THIRTEENTH-CENTURY COURTLY ROMANCES, WITH EMPHASIS ON HEINRICH VON DEM TÜRLIN’S DIU CRÔNE by Gary C. Shockey Within the greater corpus of courtly romance in the thirteenth century, the concept of list, or cunning, assumes a particularly alluring position. Poets and philosophers throughout the whole of the Middle Ages were clearly fascinated by the notion of a knight, a king, a lady of the court, a seneschal, or a scoundrel twisting others in such a manner as to achieve remarkable success in some venture. The ambiguities of the human condition most likely led men and women to exploit weaknesses in others for personal or professional gain, as well as for the benefit of the realm or sovereign. Clever cunning, guile, and the substance of the quick-thinking man or woman proved to be riveting material for both courtly audiences and the emerging bourgeoisie in the cities and towns, and we are blessed with a variety of texts which demonstrate the art of perspicacity in a myriad of forms. Cognizant of their influence, poets readily employed many of these attributes as socially acceptable vehicles of change, both in a positive and negative sense. The individual bard deliberately chose a path for his protagonists: he or she could use guile in a decidedly evil way, or perhaps in a manner designed to effect a positive outcome. Thus, arguments on the moral underpinnings of list remained the domain of the writer; the poets themselves offer a variety of views on this subject.

  • Seattle Opera's 2003/04 Season
    FOR RELEASE: July 17, 2014 Press Contact: Gabrielle Nomura, 206.676.5559, [email protected]. Seattle Opera Projects Budget Surplus for 2013/14 Season Kate Lindsey and Asher Fisch Named Seattle Opera Artists of the Year Maryanne Tagney Elected as Board President Seattle – Seattle Opera is projecting a surplus for the 2013/14 season, to be confirmed with published audited financials in December 2014. The surplus will be used to replenish its operating reserves for future seasons, which were significantly lowered during the recent recession. On an operating budget of nearly $28 million, the company saw significant growth in contributions and ticket sales that both exceeded expectations for the year. This announcement comes following the company’s Annual Meeting at McCaw Hall on Tuesday, July 15. Seattle Opera Board President, Dr. William T. Weyerhaeuser thanked his fellow board members and donors for their generosity and support during his tenure as president. Contributing to Seattle Opera’s surplus this season were a variety of factors, including successful fundraising and ticket sales operations thanks to generous donors and subscribers, a slightly increased overall attendance of 95,000, and the economic impact of Wagner’s Ring cycle in August, 2013. Opera lovers from all 50 states and 22 foreign countries flocked to Seattle for this unforgettable experience of story, music, spectacle, and community. Seattle Opera Annual Meeting Page 2 of 6 “Speight’s single-minded focus on the art of opera has been an inspiration to us all,” said Board Chairman John Nesholm. “When Seattle Opera staff was tasked with creating its list of core values, ‘art matters’ is what came to the forefront; this is because of Speight.
