It reveals the ways in which our company met with the many challenges of bringing CYRANO to the stage. The second section examines the background to the play. The original work by Edmond Rostand, and the real life Cyrano and his world; and the poetic content and context of the play. At the end of the second section are exercises and suggestions for study in the subjects of History, English and Drama.

  • Musical Theater Sheet
    FACT MUSICAL THEATER SHEET Established by Congress in 1965, the National Endowment for the Arts is the independent federal agency whose funding and support gives Americans the opportunity to participate in the arts, exercise their imaginations, and develop their creative capacities. Through partnerships with state arts agencies, local leaders, other federal agencies, and the philanthropic sector, the Arts Endowment supports arts learning, affirms and celebrates America’s rich and diverse cultural heritage, and extends its work to promote equal access to the arts in every community across America. The National Endowment for the Arts is the only funder, public or private, to support the arts in all 50 states, U.S. territories, and the District of Columbia. The agency awards more than $120 million annually with each grant dollar matched by up to nine dollars from other funding sources. Economic Impact of the Arts The arts generate more money to local and state economies than several other industries. According to data released by the National Endowment for the Arts and the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis, the arts and cultural industries contributed $804.2 billion to the U.S. economy in 2016, more than agriculture or transportation, and employed 5 million Americans. FUNDING THROUGH THE NATIONAL ENDOWMENT FOR THE ARTS MUSICAL THEATER PROGRAM: Fiscal Year 2018 marked the return of musical theater as its own discipline for grant award purposes. From 2014-2017, grants for musical theater were included in the theater discipline and prior to 1997, were awarded with opera as the opera/musical theater discipline. The numbers below, reflect musical theater grants awarded only when there was a distinct musical theater program.

  • The Romancers Offstage
    Volume 41 Issue 5 April 2021 WHAT THE CRITICS SAY Most critics have concluded that The Romancers is a comedic satire on love. American literary and theatre critic Alba della Fazia Amoia asserted that it ‘‘contains a moral: we must have faith in what we are doing and we must remain faithful to love.’’ Novelist Henry James commented that in The Romancers, the ‘‘action takes place in that happy land of nowhere— the land of poetry, comedy, drollery, delicacy, profuse literary association Directed by Kevin Trudeau ... and if the whole thing is the frankest of fantasies ...it is the work of a man already conscious of all the values April 16-18 involved.’’ April 22-25 Similarly, in the Fortnightly Review, G.

  • Camoenae Hungaricae 7(2010)
    Camoenae Hungaricae 7(2010) GÁBOR PETNEHÁZI TIRADE DU NEZ, OR NASOLOGICAL REMARKS ON THE HISTORY OF A FRIENDSHIP “Tirade du nez”, the famous nose tirade in Rostand’s Cyrano de Bergerac staged in 1879 is one of the widest-known monologues in world-literature. Despite—or because of—this popularity, the tradition in which it is rooted and which is traced back to Antiq- uity is hardly researched. This is so at least if we try to map the route from the nose- mocking Greek epigram to Rostand or if we wish to investigate the effect of two promi- th nent figures of 16 -century humanism, Erasmus and Thomas More on literary tradition. Hopefully we will show below that they cooperated closely. We have to observe sadly that—as far as this can be assessed in a Hungarian environment—comparatistics had nothing new to present in this field since the article of Otto Weinreich from 1941.1 How- ever—staying in style—the solution has been right before our noses all along. The late professor of classical philology in Tübingen investigated in his afore-mentioned piece the afterlife of Emperor Trajan’s two-line poem in the Greek Anthology2 (AP XI, 418, and APl II, 13, 17) in the 16th century and later. The epigram goes as follows: ᾿Αντίον ἠελίου στήσας ¼ίνα καr στόµα χάσχων δείξεις τάς ὥρας πOσι παρεσχόµενας. Thomas More translated it to Latin the following way based on Planudea printed in Florence in 1494 or on hand-written excerpts from it:3 Si tuus ad solem statuatur nasus hiante ore, bene ostendas dentibus, hora quota est.

  • ABSTRACT the Ideal World of Edmond Rostand's Cyrano De
    ABSTRACT The Ideal World of Edmond Rostand’s Cyrano de Bergerac: A Director’s Approach Traci Elizabeth Ledford, M.F.A. Thesis Chairperson: Marion D. Castleberry, Ph.D. Edmond Rostand wrote Cyrano de Bergerac during a time when realism was beginning to assert its dominance over French theatre. Rostand’s masterpiece, with its neo-Romantic attributes, is often perceived as a reaction against the new theatrical movement as well as a celebration of France’s history. The play’s enduring popularity can be attributed to its emphasis on the ideal exemplified in the dynamic and heroic title character. This director’s approach to Cyrano de Bergerac examines the history behind the play including the playwright’s life, work, sources for the play, and its importance in fin- de-siècle France. A thorough analysis of the script and genre helps to initiate dialogues with designers about directorial concepts and helps to guide actors through a production style that supports the text. This study also includes the artistic challenges, concepts, and decisions that shaped choices for the play before concluding with a critical examination of the final product.

  • UNFORGETTABLE PERFORMANCES on NAXOS DVDS Naxos on DVD – an Astonishing Array
    UNFORGETTABLE PERFORMANCES ON NAXOS DVDS Naxos on DVD – an astonishing array Representing almost all periods of musical history, the Naxos DVD list ranges from electric emotional dramas in early music masterpieces by Cavalli and Monteverdi, moves through the high romance of Donizetti and heroics of Verdi, right up to compelling contemporary productions such as Petitgirard’s The Elephant Man. Allied to strength in the sheer variety of titles listed there is substantial depth in the unique points of interest associated with each title. We focus on less familiar works by universally beloved composers such as Puccini and Schubert, world première releases such as Copland’s The City, and revivals of forgotten masterpieces such as Rossi’s Cleopatra. Each opera production is produced, performed and filmed to the highest standards, with casts including internationally renowned soloists as well as exciting new discoveries. Spectacular staging and the special atmosphere at major festivals all contribute to create genuinely unforgettable visual and experiences. The majority of these releases also exist in CD format, and as such are standard-bearers in terms of sound quality. Other titles capture unique events such as the special performance of Haydn’s Harmoniemesse in the presence of Pope Benedict XVI, celebrate star talents like “the great Verdian bass” Carlo Colombara, make available significant but rarely seen films such as The Plow that Broke the Plains, or enhance annual festivities such as Christmas with Winchester College Chapel Choir. Populated with a multitude of acclaimed musicians, remarkable productions and unique events, each title in the Naxos DVD catalogue is a richly rewarding highlight in its own right.
