  • Fantasia the Famous Soundtracks of Walt Disney's Masterpieces Program
    Fantasia The famous soundtracks of Walt Disney's masterpieces Sang Eun Kim soprano Luigi Giachino piano and transcriptions The Korean soprano Angela Kim with her wonderful voice and endearing presence on the stage meets the harmonies of the pianist Luigi Giachino, a great expert in film music, in a repertoire dedicated to the famous soundtracks of Walt Disney's masterpieces. The concert can be realized with the cinematographic projections made by Alba Film Festival. Since 1923 the Disney Studios have presented films that built the international history of cinema and animation, becoming immortal masterpieces as well, released from a mere function of entertainment and projected into a more “philosophical” dimension, to the point of rightfully becoming part of a worldwide popular culture. Despite the changes of time, aesthetics and lifestyles, Disney's lesson always remains current and reminds us that, despite the small and big difficulties of the life, we must continue to look forward, using the resources we have and finding solutions, never feeling lost and always listening to our emotions. The repertoire of this concert program embraces half a century of the Disney production and is a tribute to his unique style which also influenced the soundtracks. In the selected pieces, the atmospheres of poetry and dream are alternated with more playful and light-hearted moments, enhancing the versatility and great technical preparation of our artists. The concert can also be realized with the cinematic projections of the films, created by Alba Film

  • Press Release: EDGES (2021)
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Media Alert for Theatre Editors, Reviewers and Calendar Listings Orange County premiere of Edges Chance Theater returns to live in-person performances for the first musical written by the award-winning songwriters of Dear Evan Hansen, Benj Pasek & Justin Paul ANAHEIM, CA: Chance Theater is excited to announce that the Orange County premiere of Pasek and Paul’s musical, Edges will be the third show in its 23rd Anniversary Season, and the first show presented live and in-person since shutting its doors on March 13, 2020. This clever and charming musical is directed by Resident Artist James Michael McHale and music direction is by Resident Artist Robyn Manion. The show is performing July 9 - August 8, 2021. Before they wrote Dear Evan Hansen, La La Land, The Greatest Showman, Dogfight, and many other modern musical classics, Benj Pasek and Justin Paul wrote a thrilling song cycle about four burgeoning adults asking classic coming-of-age questions about love, commitment, identity, and meaning. For the first time in Orange County, see how the Oscar, Grammy, Tony, and Golden Globe Award-winning song team started their journey — with a charming, witty and honest examination of adulthood that explores what happens when we’re teetering on the edge of the rest of our lives. Please note that this show contains adult language. Back in 2005, Benj Pasek and Justin Paul were undergraduates at the University of Michigan who were feeling dissatisfied with the roles they were being cast in for their college shows. Deciding to do something about it, Pasek and Paul (who had casually written only a couple of songs together at this point) decided to produce their own show -- an original piece called Edges that would be made up entirely of songs they would write and would star fellow college students.

  • South Pacific
    THE MUSICO-DRAMATIC EVOLUTION OF RODGERS AND HAMMERSTEIN’S SOUTH PACIFIC DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By James A. Lovensheimer, M.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2003 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Arved Ashby, Adviser Professor Charles M. Atkinson ________________________ Adviser Professor Lois Rosow School of Music Graduate Program ABSTRACT Since its opening in 1949, Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Pulitzer Prize- winning musical South Pacific has been regarded as a masterpiece of the genre. Frequently revived, filmed for commercial release in 1958, and filmed again for television in 2000, it has reached audiences in the millions. It is based on selected stories from James A. Michener’s book, Tales of the South Pacific, also a Pulitzer Prize winner; the plots of these stories, and the musical, explore ethnic and cutural prejudice, a theme whose treatment underwent changes during the musical’s evolution. This study concerns the musico-dramatic evolution of South Pacific, a previously unexplored process revealing the collaborative interaction of two masters at the peak of their creative powers. It also demonstrates the authors’ gradual softening of the show’s social commentary. The structural changes, observable through sketches found in the papers of Rodgers and Hammerstein, show how the team developed their characterizations through musical styles, making changes that often indicate changes in characters’ psychological states; they also reveal changing approaches to the musicalization of the novel. Studying these changes provides intimate and, occasionally, unexpected insights into Rodgers and Hammerstein’s creative methods.
