April 1 & 3, 2021 Walt Disney Theater FAIRWINDS GROWS MY MONEY SO I CAN GROW MY BUSINESS. Get the freedom to go further. Insured by NCUA. OPERA-2646-02/092719 Opera Orlando’s Carmen On the MainStage at Dr. Phillips Center | April 2021 Dear friends, Carmen is finally here! Although many plans have changed over the course of the past year, we have always had our sights set on Carmen, not just because of its incredible music and compelling story but more because of the unique setting and concept of this production in particular - 1960s Haiti. So why transport Carmen and her friends from 1820s Seville to 1960s Haiti? Well, it all just seemed to make sense, for Orando, that is. We have a vibrant and growing Haitian-American community in Central Florida, and Creole is actually the third most commonly spoken language in the state of Florida. Given that Creole derives from French, and given the African- Carribean influences already present in Carmen, setting Carmen in Haiti was a natural fit and a great way for us to celebrate Haitian culture and influence in our own community. We were excited to partner with the Greater Haitian American Chamber of Commerce for this production and connect with Haitian-American artists, choreographers, and academics. Since Carmen is a tale of survival against all odds, we wanted to find a particularly tumultuous time in Haiti’s history to make things extra difficult for our heroine, and setting the work in the 1960s under the despotic rule of Francois Duvalier (aka Papa Doc) certainly raised the stakes. -
Claude Debussy in 2018: a Centenary Celebration Abstracts and Biographies
19-23/03/18 CLAUDE DEBUSSY IN 2018: A CENTENARY CELEBRATION ABSTRACTS AND BIOGRAPHIES Claude Debussy in 2018: A Centenary Celebration Abstracts and Biographies I. Debussy Perspectives, 1918-2018 RNCM, Manchester Monday, 19 March Paper session A: Debussy’s Style in History, Conference Room, 2.00-5.00 Chair: Marianne Wheeldon 2.00-2.30 – Mark DeVoto (Tufts University), ‘Debussy’s Evolving Style and Technique in Rodrigue et Chimène’ Claude Debussy’s Rodrigue et Chimène, on which he worked for two years in 1891-92 before abandoning it, is the most extensive of more than a dozen unfinished operatic projects that occupied him during his lifetime. It can also be regarded as a Franco-Wagnerian opera in the same tradition as Lalo’s Le Roi d’Ys (1888), Chabrier’s Gwendoline (1886), d’Indy’s Fervaal (1895), and Chausson’s Le Roi Arthus (1895), representing part of the absorption of the younger generation of French composers in Wagner’s operatic ideals, harmonic idiom, and quasi-medieval myth; yet this kinship, more than the weaknesses of Catulle Mendès’s libretto, may be the real reason that Debussy cast Rodrigue aside, recognising it as a necessary exercise to be discarded before he could find his own operatic voice (as he soon did in Pelléas et Mélisande, beginning in 1893). The sketches for Rodrigue et Chimène shed considerable light on the evolution of Debussy’s technique in dramatic construction as well as his idiosyncratic approach to tonal form. Even in its unfinished state — comprising three out of a projected four acts — the opera represents an impressive transitional stage between the Fantaisie for piano and orchestra (1890) and the full emergence of his genius, beginning with the String Quartet (1893) and the Prélude à l’Après-midi d’un faune (1894). -

Paradise Kortrijk 2021 is de opvolger van Play Kortrijk 2018, het interactieve kunstenparcours dat drie jaar geleden Kortrijk inpalmde met hedendaagse kunstwerken op diverse binnen- en buitenlocaties in de stad, en dat met meer dan 175.000 bezoekers een heus succes was. De tweede editie behoudt het succesrecept — een dynamische en vrije stadstentoonstelling met interactieve kunstwerken van een ambitieuze lijst Belgische en internationale kunstenaars in diverse binnen en buitenlocaties in de stad Kortrijk— en stelt ditmaal de utopische droom van het paradijs centraal. Het project put inspiratie uit onze tijdsgeest en is een reactie op onze huidige leefwereld, die soms mijlenver verwijderd lijkt van een hoopvolle, positieve en utopische omgeving. “Ons kunstenfestival Paradise zal honderdduizenden bezoekers naar Kortrijk trekken. Als cultuurschepen maak ik me sterk dat we hier echt een bazooka hebben die onze handel en horeca opnieuw perspectief zal geven. Het is de tweede editie van onze triënnale. Play, de eerste was een schot in de roos. Installaties van de beste kunstenaars ter wereld zullen op de meest verrassende plekken in de stad te zien zijn.” — Schepen van Cultuur Axel Ronse De curatoren Hilde Teerlinck (Han Nefkens Foundation) en Patrick Ronse (Be-Part, Platform voor Actuele Kunst) selecteerden 32 hedendaagse kunstenaars - waaronder 9 Belgen - die elk een eigen interpretatie van het concept Paradise voorstellen. -

Cambridge University Press 978-1-108-48161-8 — Carmen Abroad Edited by Richard Langham Smith , Clair Rowden Frontmatter More Information Carmen Abroad From the ‘old world’ to the ‘new’ and back again, this transnational history of the performance and reception of Bizet’s Carmen – whose subject has become a modern myth and its heroine a symbol – provides new understanding of the opera’s enduring yet ever-evolving and resituated presence and popularity. This book examines three stages of cultural transfer: the opera’s establishment in the repertoire; its performance, translation, adaptation and appropriation in Europe, the Americas and Australia; and its cultural ‘work’ in Soviet Russia, in Japan in the era of Westernisation, in southern, regionalist France and in Carmen’s ‘homeland’, Spain. As the volume reveals the ways in which Bizet’s opera swiftly travelled the globe from its Parisian premiere, readers will understand how the story, the music, the staging and the singers appealed to audiences in diverse geographical, artistic and political contexts. richard langham smith is a Research Professor at the Royal College of Music, London. He edited Carmen for Edition Peters and his translation of the libretto can be found in the Overture Opera Guide. With Cambridge University Press, he is the author of the Cambridge Opera Handbook for Debussy’s Pelléas et Mélisande and the editor of Debussy Studies. In 1995 he was made Chevalier de l’ordre des arts et des lettres for services to French culture and music. clair rowden is a Reader in Musicology at Cardiff University. Her work includes collaborating with Richard Langham Smith on Carmen (Edition Peters) and the recent curation of carmenabroad.org to accompany this book. -

Paradise Kortrijk 2021 is the successor to Play Kortrijk 2018, the interactive art event that transformed the city of Kortrijk three years ago into a playground of contemporary artworks at various indoor and outdoor locations in the city, and which was a real success with more than 175,000 visitors. The second edition maintains the recipe for success - a dynamic and free urban exhibition with interactive works of art by an ambitious list of Belgian and international artists in various indoor and outdoor locations in the city of Kortrijk - and focuses on the utopian dream of paradise. The project draws inspiration from our zeitgeist and is a reaction to our current living environment, which sometimes seems miles away from a hopeful, positive and utopian environment. “Our arts festival Paradise will attract hundreds of thousands of visitors to Kortrijk. As alderman for culture, I am convinced that we really have a bazooka here, one that will give our trade and hospitality industry new perspectives. It is the second edition of our triennial. Play, the first one, was a hit. -

Influences in Ernest Chausson's Piano Quartet Ching-Yueh Chen A
Influences in Ernest Chausson’s Piano Quartet Ching-Yueh Chen A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts University of Washington 2018 Reading Committee: Craig Sheppard, Chair Carole Terry Patricia Shehan Campbell Program Authorized to Offer Degree: School of Music © Copyright 2018 Ching-Yueh Chen University of Washington Abstract Influences in Ernest Chausson’s Piano Quartet Ching-Yueh Chen Chair of the supervisory committee: Craig Sheppard School of Music The purpose of this study is to examine Chausson’s Piano Quartet and to demonstrate how it was influenced by Franck, Wagner, Debussy, and elements of Spanish music. In his Piano Quartet, Ernest Chausson merges cyclical form (which he learned from Franck), a chromatic harmonic language (influenced by Wagner), ideas such as pentatonicism (imparted upon him by his younger friend Debussy), and exotic elements of Spanish music. The combination of these elements together makes his Piano Quartet stand out from his other works. Chausson’s biographical background, his interests in literature and art, his compositional style, and the background of his Piano Quartet are also provided.

Le Roi Arthus” in Het Licht Van Het Wagnerepigonisme
ZONSVERDUISTERING VAN EEN ARS GALLICA Ernest Chaussons “Le roi Arthus” In het licht van het Wagnerepigonisme. door Jos Hermans © ContraPUNT III/3, jan-feb 2004 geen twijfel dat Wagner Chausson op diepgaande ma- nier heeft beïnvloed en Chaussons opera is openlijk Tris- taniaans”, schrijft Daniele Callegari. “De stempel van Wagner is het grootst in het eerste bedrijf”, schrijft Jac- ques Detemmerman in La Monnaie Symboliste . “Leunt het eerste bedrijf nog aan bij Berlioz, en knoopt het tweede bedrijf direct aan bij Wagner, dan komt in het derde bedrijf door zijn kompositorische schriftuur en zijn ontknoping, de meest typische en beste Chausson tot uiting”, schrijft Chausson-biograaf Jean Gallois in het programmaboek van De Munt. Waarom geraakt men het zo moeilijk eens over de reikwijdte van de invloed van Richard Wagner en waarom doet Jean Gallois in La Monnaie symboliste zo’n flauwe poging om Chausson los te weken van Wagner door zich vast te bijten in de- tails die de afstand tussen Arthus en Tristan und Isolde Wat is het voor een vloek die rust op Le roi Arthus van zouden moeten demonstreren?
