March 13 And15 DEPAUL OPERA THEATRE PRESENTS by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart March 13 and15 DEPAUL UNIVERSITY MERLE RESKIN THEATRE 60 East Balbo Drive, Chicago Roberto Kalb, conductor | Harry Silverstein, director Dear Opera Lovers, Welcome to the DePaul Opera Theatre’s production of Mozart’s The Marriage of Figaro, one of the cornerstones of the opera repertoire. From the famous first notes of the overture to the final curtain, Mozart’s opera delivers a delightfully tangled and comedic love story for the ages. Performing this beloved opera are the students from the DePaul Opera Theatre program, which has been a platform for extraordinary talent since its inception decades ago. This weekend’s production is just one of three full-length operas that our students present annually, complete with a full orchestra. What you see and hear on stage in this production represents countless hours of preparation from our students. And if history is a judge, many of these students will soon become top performers in the world’s foremost opera houses. I am always proud to share our alumni news and updates in these programs (see page 12); it is thrilling to see the collective success they are each having in the opera world today! At the heart of our Opera Theatre program is a roster of faculty who have a sincere dedication to fostering and training the next generation of performers, educators, and craftsmen. They are some of the most celebrated and sought- after opera singers and directors in the world. None of this would be possible without their tireless support of our students and program. An opera program of such depth and excellence is deserving of a venue of equal stature. We are at an historic moment for the Opera Theatre program as the doors to the Sasha and Eugene Jarvis Opera Hall are now open to all, and our renowned program has a dedicated performance and rehearsal space for the first time in its history. The Lincoln Park venue will not only become a haven for our vocal performance students, but it will bring us deeper into our community as we welcome some of the finest area ensembles in making this their new home. Your first chance to hear our students perform an opera in the new Jarvis Opera Hall will be on June 5 and 7, when the DePaul Opera Theatre presents Benjamin Britten’s Albert Herring. A moment in our new venue that you won’t want to miss! Thank you for supporting DePaul Opera Theatre. You are an integral part of the success of our program, and we are grateful that you have joined us for these performances. Enjoy the opera!

  • STATEMENT of PRINCIPLE No One Should Be Forced to Choose
    STATEMENT OF PRINCIPLE No one should be forced to choose between her personal safety and dignity, and her job. But too often in the theater community this is exactly the choice that women must make. Sexual discrimination and harassment and gender-based violence often occur in the intimate and physical context of a theater production. Victims of such conduct face a stark choice between continuing to work in close collaboration with their abuser and quitting the show. Few can afford to give up a job and lose not only income, but also the opportunity for career advancement. There is a sense in the community that it is not necessarily in a victim’s best interest to report abuse because of fear that the response will be insufficient and open her up to retribution. In addition, many instances of abuse happen outside of the physical boundaries of a theater. No theater, union or guild currently takes responsible for handling such cases. However, the two people involved will most likely have to work together the next day or in another production, and the victims are left to deal with the aftermath by themselves. In the face of these realities, victims often choose silence and the abuse is allowed to continue. It is time for the theater community to break its own silence on harassment and abuse and formally address the problem. The reality is that those who behave abusively are generally in positions of power. Artistic directors hold the power to employ, playwrights have hiring approval; removing a director mid-rehearsal puts an entire production in doubt; losing a celebrity from the cast hurts ticket sales.
