Lectures and Community Engagement 2018–19 WELCOME "e Metropolitan Opera Guild has been devoted to enriching lives through opera since its inception in 1935, and still, more than 80 years later, we are discovering innovative ways to engage diverse communities through this beautiful art form. We work diligently to ensure that music education is accessible to all by offering a wide range of educational and community programs that reach more than 250,000 individuals each year. Opera is for everyone, and through our pre-performance lectures, backstage tours, study days, and more, we strive to foster a community for all knowledge levels, from budding curiosity to high opera literacy and everything in between. Our school programs, residencies, and rehearsal days introduce opera to students from as young as kindergarten through college, proving it’s never too early or too late to cultivate an interest in music and opera. We are thrilled to present a new season of programming as we bring back popular courses and introduce new faces, topics, and learning opportunities. Immerse yourself in the world of opera through talks and lectures, listen to performances with a score-desk ticket, or access our podcasts—which have reached half-a-million listeners and counting, not only in New York City but across the globe! At the Guild, there are many ways to get involved, and however you choose to experience our offerings, it is our utmost pleasure to welcome you to our community. I hope that you will join us on this year’s musical journey into the world of opera. We look forward to seeing you soon. Sincerely, Richard J. Miller, Jr. president TABLE OF CONTENTS !

    SAN FRANCISCO OPERA CENTER AND MEROLA OPERA PROGRAM ANNOUNCE 2020 SCHWABACHER RECITAL SERIES January 29 Kicks Off First of Four Recitals Highlighting Emerging Artists and Unique Musical Programs Tickets available at sfopera.com/srs and (415) 864-3330 SAN FRANCISCO, CA (January 6, 2019) — Now in its 37th year, the Schwabacher Recital Series returns on Wednesday, January 29, with performances at San Francisco’s Dianne and Tad Taube Atrium Theater that feature emerging artists from around the globe. Presented by San Francisco Opera Center and Merola Opera Program, the annual Schwabacher Series consists of four Wednesday evening recitals, the last of which concludes on April 22. The first-ever Schwabacher series was presented in December 1983, kicking off a decades-long San Francisco tradition of presenting rising international talent in the intimacy of a recital setting. The 2020 series will blend classics like Hector Berlioz’s Les Nuits d’Été with rarely performed 20th- and 21st-century works like Olivier Messiaen’s Harawi. JANUARY 29: ALICE CHUNG, LAUREANO QUANT AND NICHOLAS ROEHLER (From left to right: Alice Chung, Laureano Quant and Nicholas Roehler) The series opens on January 29 with a set of performers recently seen as part of the Merola Opera Program: mezzo-soprano Alice Chung, baritone Laureano Quant and pianist Nicholas Roehler. Twice named as a Merola artist—once in 2017 and again in 2019—Chung returns to the 1 Bay Area for this recital, having been hailed as a “force of nature” by San Francisco Classical Voice (SFCV). She will tackle a range of works, from Colombian composer Luis Carlos Figueroa’s soothing lullaby “Berceuse” to cabaret-inspired works like William Bolcom’s “Over the Piano.” Quant, a 2019 Merola participant, joins Chung to perform Bolcom’s music, as well as select songs from Berlioz’s Les Nuits d’Été and Francesco Santoliquido’s I Canti della Sera.

    2018-2019 HD LIVE FROM METROPOLITAN OPERA NEW YORK 2018-2019 SEASON 10 evenings in live from New York including 4 new productions The Metropolitan Opera opens its season with the great Russian diva Anna Netrebko who will sing Aida on October 6th. She will return to the MET stage in Adriana Lecouvreur o n January 12, a new production by Sir David McVicar. Two new productions: La Traviata on December 15 with Diana Damrau and Joan Diego Fló rez and the premiere of Marnie on November 10, based on Alfred Hitchcock's masterpiece.

    Pittsburgh Opera NEWS RELEASE

    4/1/2008 Pittsburgh Opera NEWS RELEASE CONTACT: BETH PARKER (412) 281-0912 X 248 [email protected] PHOTOS: MAGGIE JOHNSON (412) 281-0912 X 262 [email protected] Jane Dutton replaces Stephanie Blythe in Pittsburgh Opera’s Aida Pittsburgh, PA . Opera companies expect their drama in high doses, but this week at Pittsburgh Opera has been more stimulating than most. Mezzo-soprano superstar Stephanie Blythe was to have made her long-anticipated company and role debut as Amneris in Pittsburgh Opera’s production of Verdi’s Aida. Blythe, however, fell victim to a virus and had to bow out the day before the show opened on March 29. Following a remarkable last-minute rescue of the opening night by Marianne Cornetti, Ms. Blythe had to cancel the second performance, leaving the company without a back-up for the remaining shows. This time Artistic Director Christopher Hahn secured Jane Dutton, another highly-regarded American mezzo who has recently added the killer role to her repertoire with highly successful performances at English National Opera. Dutton sings the Tuesday, April 1 performance and remains available to safeguard the production. Pittsburgh Opera anticipates the return of a healthy Ms. Blythe for the final performances on April 4th and 6th. Ms.Cornetti’s appearance was nigh on miraculous. An experienced Amneris and alumna of the company’s training program, the Pittsburgh Opera Center, Cornetti was released from a rehearsal in Amsterdam and got the last available seat on a KLM flight. She arrived in Pittsburgh at 2:30 PM, and after a mad dash from the airport, a brief rehearsal and costume fitting, the Metropolitan Opera star nailed the 8 PM performance.

    Beata Kornatowska Wspomnienia Głosem Pisane : O Autobiografiach Śpiewaków

    Beata Kornatowska Wspomnienia głosem pisane : o autobiografiach śpiewaków Acta Universitatis Lodziensis. Folia Litteraria Polonica 16, 140-154 2012 140 | FOLIA LITTERARIA POLONICA 2 (16) 2012 Beata Kornatowska Wspomnienia głosem pisane. O autobiografiach śpiewaków W literackim eseju Güntera de Bruyna poświęconym autobiografii czytamy: Opowiadający dokonuje pewnego okiełznania tego, co zamierza opowiedzieć, wtłacza to w formę, której wcześniej nie miało; decyduje o początku i zakończeniu, układa szczegóły [...] w wybranych przez siebie związkach, tak że nie są już tylko szczegółami, ale nabierają znaczenia, i określa punkty ciężkości1. Przy lekturze wspomnień znanych śpiewaków trudno oprzeć się wrażeniu, że przyszli na świat po to, żeby śpiewać. Już dobór wspomnień z dzieciństwa ma coś z myślenia magicznego: wydarzenia, sploty okoliczności, spotkania — wszystko to prowadzi do rozwoju kariery muzycznej. Dalsze powtarzalne elementy tych wspomnień to: odkrycie predyspozycji wokalnych i woli podję- cia zawodu śpiewaka, rola nauczycieli śpiewu i mentorów (najczęściej dyrygen- tów), największe sukcesy i zdobywanie kolejnych szczytów — scen kluczowych dla świata muzycznego, pamiętne wpadki, kryzysy wokalne, podszyte rywali- zacją relacje z kolegami, ciągłe podleganie ocenie publiczności, krytyków i dy- rygentów, myśli o konieczności zakończenia kariery, refleksje na temat doboru repertuaru, wykonawstwa i — generalnie — muzyki. W tle pojawiają się rów- nież wydarzenia z historii najnowszej, losy kraju i rodziny, kondycja instytucji muzycznych, uwarunkowania personalne. Te uogólnione na podstawie sporej liczby tekstów z niemieckiego kręgu ję- zykowego2 prawidłowości w organizowaniu wspomnień „głosem pisanych” chciałabym przedstawić na przykładzie wyróżniających się w mojej ocenie ja- kością autobiografii autorstwa ikon powojennej wokalistyki niemieckiej — Christy Ludwig ...und ich wäre so gern Primadonna gewesen.

    THE MARKETPLACE HOW WELL DID EDISON RECORDS SELL? During the latter part of 1919 Thomas A. Edison, Inc. began to keep cumulative sales figures for those records that were still available. The documents were continued into 1920 and then stopped. While the documents included sales figures for all series of discs time allowed me to copy only those figures for the higher priced classical series. Thus the present article includes the 82,000 ($2.00); 82,500 ($2.50); 83,000 ($3.00) and 84,000 ($4.00) series. Should there be sufficient interest it may be possible to do the other series at a later date. While the document did list some of the special Tone-Test records pressing figures were included for only two of them. I have arbitrarily excluded them and propose to discuss the Edison Tone Tests at a later date. The documents also originally included supplementary listings, which, for the sake of convenience, have been merged into the regular listings. The type copy of the major portion of the listings has been taken from regular Edison numerical catalogs and forms the framework of my forthcoming Complete Edison Disc Numerical Catalog. Several things may be noted: 1) Many of the sales figures seem surprisingly small and many of the records must be classed as rarities; 2) Deletion was not always because of poor sales-mold damage also played a part; 3) Records were retained even with extremely disappointing sales. Without a knowledge of the reason for discontinuance we cannot assume anything concerning records that had already been discontinued.
