The spring opera season begins with Georges Bizet's exotic The Pearl Fishers. We're pleased to bring back our production by iconic fashion designer Zandra Rhodes, whose wildly colorful designs perfectly match Bizet's vivid orchestrations. I'm delighted that Leah Partridge, who last performed with us as Roxanne in the world premiere of Cyrano, returns to us as Leila, along with soprano Sarah joy Miller alternating in the role. We also welcome back Noah Stewart and jesus Garcia as Nadir, while baritones Nmon Ford and Edward Parks both make their company debuts in the role of Zurga. In May, we present Leoncavallo's classic I Pagliacci, after a very long absence from our stage. Italian tenor Antonello Palombi returns to the company as Canio, after his last appearances with us in Tasca , and we're also thrilled to welcome back baritone Gordon Hawkins as Tanio. Soprano jill Gardner will make her company debut as Nedda. Our Maggie Allesee Dance Series continues in March with the return of the always enjoyable Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater. We're happy to continue our partnership with this impressive group, who never fail to awe and inspire, and we congratulate Robert Battle on his first season as the company's new artistic director. In April, I'm incredibly proud to present the North American premiere of Barcelona Ballet's Swan Lake. The troupe is a realization of dancer Angel Corella's dream to found a Spanish dance company, and he will appear on stage at certain performances. Of course, Tchaikovsky's haunting score will be performed live by our very own Michigan Opera Theatre Orchestra. As always, even the smallest among us will find something to love on our stage. In March, Hubbard Street 2 brings the endearing Harold and the Purple Crayon to life in an interactive dance performance for children. The Michigan Opera Theatre Children's Chorus continues to thrive, and once again presents its very own production with H.M.S. Pinafore later that month. We are one of the few opera companies in the country to have a permanent ensemble of young people, which is a vital part of our mission to bring cultural enrichment to the communities we serve. We are most grateful for the generous support of our sponsors who make each season possible. I feel an exceptional gratitude to our corporate partners, as well as the foundations and individual donors who graciously extend their support so that we may continue to present world-class performances. A very special thanks goes to Maggie Allesee, who sponsored our entire 2011-12 dance season, and to our spring opera season sponsors, the General Motors Foundation and Cadillac.

  • A Mixed Blessing at the Ballet 01
    Daily Telegraph July 28 2001 A mixed blessing at the ballet Photo Sheila Rock As Anthony Dowell leaves the Royal Ballet, dance critic Ismene Brown assesses his 15-year regime as director - and stars pay tribute below AT THE Royal Ballet the countdown has begun to the end of an era. A week tonight, amid flowers, Champagne and tears, Sir Anthony Dowell, the longest-serving ballet director since the company’s founder, Ninette de Valois, will end his 15-year regime. He was undoubtedly one of the great world stars of dancing, and the “Celebration Programme” will mark his achievements as such. But about his success as director of the company, opinion is far from unanimous. What makes a good director? The question has never been more of a poser than during Dowell\s captaincy of the ballet, in the most turbulent years of the Royal Opera House’s history. There are many pluses on Dowell’s account sheet - his maintenance of high classical technical standards, his welcoming of key foreign artists into the Royal (particularly Sylvie Guillem and Irek Mukhamedov), his inspiring coaching, to which leading guest stars attest opposite. The rise of Darcey Bussell to world acclaim, the forging of a superb partnership between Mukhamedov and Viviana Durante, this final, nostalgic and beautiful 2000-01 season - these are positive memories. He will be noted as a conservative, and many welcomed this after an insecure period of modernising under his predecessor, Norman Morrice. Whether conservatism has served the company well for the future, though, is debatable. In the shifting landscape of ballet, conservatism is not enough to hold steady.

  • Taiwanese Eyes on the Modern: Cold War Dance Diplomacy And
    Taiwanese Eyes on the Modern: Cold War Dance Diplomacy and American Modern Dances in Taiwan, 1950–1980 Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Tsung-Hsin Lee, M.A. Graduate Program in Dance Studies The Ohio State University 2020 Dissertation Committee Hannah Kosstrin, Advisor Harmony Bench Danielle Fosler-Lussier Morgan Liu Copyrighted by Tsung-Hsin Lee 2020 2 Abstract This dissertation “Taiwanese Eyes on the Modern: Cold War Dance Diplomacy and American Modern Dances in Taiwan, 1950–1980” examines the transnational history of American modern dance between the United States and Taiwan during the Cold War era. From the 1950s to the 1980s, the Carmen De Lavallade-Alvin Ailey, José Limón, Paul Taylor, Martha Graham, and Alwin Nikolais dance companies toured to Taiwan under the auspices of the U.S. State Department. At the same time, Chinese American choreographers Al Chungliang Huang and Yen Lu Wong also visited Taiwan, teaching and presenting American modern dance. These visits served as diplomatic gestures between the members of the so-called Free World led by the U.S. Taiwanese audiences perceived American dance modernity through mixed interpretations under the Cold War rhetoric of freedom that the U.S. sold and disseminated through dance diplomacy. I explore the heterogeneous shaping forces from multiple engaging individuals and institutions that assemble this diplomatic history of dance, resulting in outcomes influencing dance histories of the U.S. and Taiwan for different ends. I argue that Taiwanese audiences interpreted American dance modernity as a means of embodiment to advocate for freedom and social change.
