We are humbly trying to make OC more accessible to everyone. Our new brand focus, “Make it Yours,” is meant to welcome our audience and patrons to come as themselves, rather than any preconceived notion of what an opera goer might be. We are addressing women leadership in the arts and diversity in our board and on our stage to better reflect this great city we are serving. We are passionately preserving the extraordinary operas of the classic repertoire, but we are equally passionate to advance opera into the sensibilities of our time. Madama Butterfly is a masterpiece but can also be controversial. Traditionally, productions have portrayed Japanese characters to look Japanese, regardless of the color of their skin. This production, led by an all women artistic team, will feature the artists as themselves, allowing the talents of the performers and the costumes they wear to convey the characters they play. In partnership with Cardinal Health, we are thanking the many volunteers that served at the Urban League national conference this past August by inviting all 500 of them to the final dress rehearsal. Our February production is a world premiere and co-commission with ProMusica Chamber Orchestra called The Flood. This is an opera by woman composer Korine Fujiwara and librettist Stephen Wadsworth that tells a wonderful story of love and tragedy across four generations of a Columbus family. In the spring, Jazz Arts Group and OC will come together under the musical direction of Byron Stripling to fuse opera and jazz for a night of pure fun, Opera Meets Jazz. In partnership with CAPA, OC will present The Journey in the Lincoln Theatre, which will celebrate the music of African-American culture, spanning more than 200 years. This new production will feature Columbus artists, including the Thiossane West African Dance institute, local gospel choirs, and the Southside Boys and Girls Club. Enjoy this beautiful masterpiece and thank you for all the ways you support Opera Columbus! Peggy Kriha Dye General and Artistic Director 6 OPERA COLUMBUS FROM OPERA COLUMBUS t Opera Columbus, our goal is to breathe Anew life into the way opera is performed and presented, with original productions and fresh perspectives on this amazing art form. We mean it when we say “Make it yours,” with productions and programs that confront traditional expectations and preconceived notions of opera. The production you are about to see is a great example of this, and we are thrilled to open our 2018-2019 season with Madama Butterfly. Our incredible all-women creative team have taken a contemporary approach to Puccini’s beloved classic. All of the elements that make this one of the most popular of all operas – glorious music, engaging characters, and a heartbreaking tale of a woman abandoned by the man she loves – are here, retold through a modern, tradition-breaking interpretation. Whether this is your firstButterfly or your tenth (or more!), this will be an opera you will never forget. Opera Columbus’ 2018-2019 season continues in February with the world premiere of The Flood, co-commissioned by Opera Columbus and ProMusica Chamber Orchestra. Composed by Korine Fujiwara with a libretto by Stephen Wadsworth, The Flood tells a story of human connection through loss and shared tragedy, centered around the devastation of Franklinton in the Great Flood of 1913. In April, we will close the season with Opera Swings Jazz, in collaboration with Jazz Arts Group. This unique and exciting mash-up of opera and jazz will create one-of-a-kind music in a groundbreaking interpretation of favorite jazz standards. I hope that you will join us for all of the exceptional performances and events we have planned for this season. Please visit OperaColumbus.org for more information! Thank you for joining us for Madama Butterfly. Enjoy the show! Patricia B.

  • HOW BODY IMAGE INFLUENCES VOCAL PERFORMANCE in COLLEGIATE WOMEN SINGERS by Kirsten Shippert Brown Disser
    MY BODY, MY INSTRUMENT: HOW BODY IMAGE INFLUENCES VOCAL PERFORMANCE IN COLLEGIATE WOMEN SINGERS by Kirsten Shippert Brown Dissertation Committee: Professor Randall Everett Allsup, Sponsor Professor Jeanne Goffi-Fynn Approved by the Committee on the Degree of Doctor of Education Date: May 19, 2021 Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Education in Teachers College, Columbia University 2021 ABSTRACT This dissertation is about the influence of body image on classical vocal performance in collegiate women singers. Those trained in classical singing are familiar with the phrase, “your body is your instrument.” A focus on the physical body is apparent in the vocal pedagogical literature, as is attention to singers’ mental and emotional states. But the intersection of emotions and the body—how one thinks and feels about their body, or body image—is largely absent from the vocal pedagogical literature. As voice teachers continue to necessarily address their students’ instruments (bodies), the field has not adequately considered how each singer’s relationship with their instrument (their body) might affect them, as singers and as people. This initial foray sought answers to just two of the myriad unanswered questions surrounding this topic: Does a singer’s body image influence her singing? If so, when and how? It employed a feminist methodological framework that would provide for consciousness-raising as both a method and aim of the study. Four collegiate women singers served as co-researchers, and data collection took place in three parts: a focus group, audio diaries, and interviews. The focus group was specifically geared towards consciousness-raising in order to provide co-researchers with the awareness necessary for examining their body image.

  • INTERPRETING ART SONG USING EDWARD T. CONE's the COMPOSER's VOICE: a PRACTICAL GUIDE for SINGERS by ELISABETH ANNE SLATE
    INTERPRETING ART SONG USING EDWARD T. CONE’S THE COMPOSER’S VOICE: A PRACTICAL GUIDE FOR SINGERS by ELISABETH ANNE SLATEN (Under the Direction of Emily Gertsch and Frederick Burchinal) ABSTRACT Art song, as a genre, presents significant interpretative problems for the singer. While musical intuition is, by far, the most important interpretative tool, singers can benefit from Edward T. Cone's idea of the persona from The Composer's Voice, since analysis using this theory can lead to fresh and musically supported interpretations. This project will contain three components: 1) a thorough examination of Edward T. Cone's idea of the persona as it applies to art song; 2) a practical guide for singers that explains how to identify and analyze the different personas of songs, and 3) sample analyses that utilize this practical guide using standard undergraduate song repertoire. It is my hope that, through this project, singers may gain an analytical tool that allows them to synthesize analysis and interpretation in order to create compelling performances of art song.

T 0 D A V SPRING 1991 Last spring, April showers led to a May snowstorm here in Appleton. This spring, thank goodness, we're back on track. It's early May and the blue scillas planted many years ago by Marguerite Schumann, C'44, are blooming on the front lawn of Wilson House. Elsewhere, daffodils and tulips are doing their part to herald the end of another long winter and the arrival of, yes, finally, some warm weather. This spring, the daffodils have a little competition in the yellow department, however. Ribbons-yellow ribbons-are everywhere-on trees, school yard fences, coat lapels. Operation Desert Storm has left this community-and perhaps your's, too-feeling good about our country and proud of our young soldiers. And yet, those of us thirtysomething and older remember a time not so long ago when we greeted our returning soldiers with indifference, rather than with gratitude.

  • DMA Document, Final Version for Proquest
    Don't Listen to Me, I'm Just Your Partner: Ensemble Issues in Duo Settings by Brad Smith A Research Paper Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Musical Arts Approved April 2015 by the Graduate Supervisory Committee: Andrew Campbell, Chair Anne Kopta Robert Oldani Russell Ryan ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY May 2015 ABSTRACT “Play less and listen more” is the prevailing wisdom whenever two musical partners are having ensemble issues that interfere with their music-making. Accompanists, coaches, and collaborative pianists across the nineteenth and twentieth centuries devote many pages to these situations and explain what to listen and look for. An overview of this literature establishes a standard canon of ensemble issues for collaborative pianists working with a single partner, whether vocal or instrumental. The overview also discusses the various solutions these authors recommend for these problems. However, in exceptional moments of rehearsal or performance, the foregoing advice fails. After comparing several passing observations in these standard works with the author’s own experience, a paradoxical situation becomes evident: at times, what works instead of listening more is listening less. As the author describes through multiple musical examples and commentaries, ignoring one’s partner for a brief moment can benefit the duo’s ensemble and artistry. The application of this principle is both narrow and wide-ranging and is meant to serve as a secondary course of action. It is decidedly not a replacement for the standard advice on coaching and collaborating, for such advice is successful far more often than not. However, it can be utilized when the collaborative pianist deems it the most successful and prudent solution to an ensemble situation that has remained problematic.

  • A Conductor's Guide to the Incorporation of Bel Canto
    A Conductor’s Guide to the Incorporation of Bel Canto Methodology in the Choral Rehearsal A document submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts in the Ensembles and Conducting Division of the College-Conservatory of Music March 2014 by Michael C. Fuchs B.A., Concordia College, 2005 M.M., Westminster Choir College, 2011 Committee Chair: Mary Stucky, M.M. Abstract This document is a choral conductor’s guide for the incorporation of bel canto vocal techniques, specifically coup de la glotte, chiaroscuro, and appoggio, into the choral setting. Research has shown that the use of these vocal techniques can improve the singing of choral ensembles in areas of intonation, resonance, flexibility, and tone quality. Choral ensembles that incorporate bel canto techniques can also benefit from faster and more effective rehearsals as well as the flexibility to sing a wide range of repertoire. This guide draws upon the writings and teachings of historical bel canto vocal pedagogues, contemporary vocal pedagogues, choral pedagogues, and vocal science research to develop a choral bel canto methodology. For each specific bel canto technique, this guide includes a discussion about the use of appropriate terminology, warm-up exercises and vocalises, and an exploration of rehearsal strategies and techniques. ii Copyright © 2014 by Michael C.
