  • About the Exhibition Tenorissimo! Plácido Domingo in Vienna
    Tenorissimo! Plácido Domingo in Vienna May 17th, 2017 - January 8th, 2018 Lobkowitzplatz 2, 1010 Wien [email protected] T +43 1 525 24 5315 About the exhibition An unmistakable dark timbre, highly dramatic expressiveness, an impressive, vast repertoire – all this enraptures the fans of the Spanish crowd-pleaser with waves of enthusiasm. The Theatermuseum celebrates Plácido Domingo on the anniversary of his stage debut: He has been singing at the Vienna State Opera for 50 years. When the Tenor, then still considered as insider tip, made his debut at the State Opera in the title role of Verdi‘s Don Carlo, not only he took stage and cast in storm, but also the hearts of the Viennese audience – a true love relationship, unbroken till today. This performance contributed to an unparalleled career, taking him to the world‘s leading opera houses. Vienna has always been a very special “home port“ for the opera star. Here he performed 30 different roles in 300 shows and was awarded the title Austrian Kammersänger. The exhibition at the Theatermuseum documents the most important appearances of the “Tenorissimo“ in Vienna with original costumes and props, photographs and memorabilia, video and audio samples. The presentation portrays him also as baritone, the role fach on which he concentrated almost exclusively in the past 10 years, and refers to his activities as conductor, taking him regularly to the orchestra pit of the Vienna State Opera since the end of the 1970s. Without hesitation Plácido Domingo can be described as one of the most versatile, curious and longest serving representative of his musical genre.

    Daniel Catán’s lyrical, romantic style lends itself particularly well to the human voice, which features in the majority of his works. Lush orchestra- tions reminiscent of Debussy and Strauss along with Latin American instruments and rhythms are regularly heard in his music. His opera Daniel Catán Florencia en el Amazonas has the dis- tinction of being the first opera in Spanish commissioned by a major American company. The success of this opera led to the commission of Il Postino Salsipuedes for Houston Grand Opera. His fourth opera, Il Postino, was commissioned by Los Angeles Opera and pre- miered in September 2010, featuring Plácido Domingo and Charles Castronovo. Born in Mexico, Catán studied philosophy at the University of Il Postino Sussex in England before enrolling in Princeton as a PhD stu- dent in composition. His music is published by Associated Music Publishers.

    Media Release FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: December 14, 2017 Contact: Edward Wilensky (619) 232-7636 [email protected] San Diego Opera’s Main Stage Season Closes on March 17, 2018 with Daniel Catán’s Florencia en el Amazonas All Spanish speaking cast led by soprano Elaine Alvarez as Florencia Most famous work by Mexican composer Daniel Catán inspired by the Magical Realism of author Gabriel García Márquez San Diego, CA – San Diego Opera’s 2017-2018 mainstage season comes to close with Daniel Catán’s ode to magic realism, Florencia en el Amazonas, which opens on Saturday, March 17, 2018 at 7 PM at the San Diego Civic Theatre. Additional performances are March 20, 23, and 25 (matinee), 2018. Daniel Catán’s history with the Company goes back quite some time as San Diego Opera gave Catán’s opera, Rappacini’s Daughter, its American premiere, making him the first Mexican composer to have his work presented professionally in the United States. The success of Rapaccini’s Daughter led to international acclaim that resulted in the commissioning for Florencia en el Amazonas by Houston Grand Opera. Loosely inspired by Gabriel García Márquez’s novel, Love in the Time of Cholera, the opera follows the fictional opera singer Florencia Grimaldi as she returns to perform in her home town with the hopes of attracting the attention of her long lost love who has vanished in the Amazon forest collecting butterflies. As she journeys down the Amazon on a riverboat, Florencia becomes entwined in the lives of the other passengers whose conversations and passions lead her to self-realization and a metamorphosis.

  • The 30-Year History of the Alliance Des Chorales Du Quevec and Its Impact on Choral Singing in the Province
    The 30-year History of the Alliance des Chorales du Quevec and Its Impact on Choral Singing in the Province Patricia Abbott Association of Canadian Choral Conductors, Quebec, Canada English Montreal School Board, Quebec, Canada McGill University, Quebec, Canada The year 2004 marked the 30th anniversary of Quebec's choral federation, the Alliance des chorales du Quebec (ACQ). Over the years it has grown from a membership of some 50 choirs to more than 200 (204 at the end of the 2004-2005 season). Its member choirs represent a wide range of repertoire, skill levels and age groups. Although there are other choral organizations in Quebec,l it is the only one officially recognized by the provincial government as the voice for the collective interests of choirs. This paper explores the federation's 30-year history, the growth and evolution of its mandate and programs and its impact on choral music in Quebec. The organization's publications and annual reports served as a major source of information. The Choral Landscape in French Canada Before 1974 Choral music has long been an integral part of French Canadian cultural activity. References to choral music written and arranged in Canada date back to the French colony at Port-Royal in 1606. The seventeenth and eighteenth centuries saw the performance of choral music imported from Europe, as well as a growing body of Canadian compositions, primarily for liturgical use. By the late nineteenth century and early twentieth century, singing in a choral society was a very popular activity in Canada, and Quebec was no exception.
