  • Straight up with a Twist
    FEATURES OCTOBER 2006 - VOL. 71. NO. 4 Martina - Straight Up With a Twist Is there life after Verdi? In her newest role as director of the "Prelude to Performance" workshop, Martina Arroyo answers with a resounding "Sì." SCOTT BARNES report The first thing that strikes you about Martina Arroyo is how beautifully she is put together - perfect coif- fure, tasteful makeup, elegantly tailored clothes, just the right jewelry. It comes as a bit of a surprise if you're familiar with her self- deprecating presence during more than twenty appearances on The Tonight Show in the Carson years. "Oh, no one remembers me!" (said without false modesty or fishing for reassurance, despite her twenty seasons at the Met). Not a vanity- sized designer "zero," Arroyo is smart, funny, charming, flirtatious, with a seri- Charles Caine suits up ousness of purpose and a devotion to young singers that underpins all the wise- cracking. Never content to Dino Wu as Malatesta rest on her laurels as a world-class soprano, she has a new "baby" - a role-preparation workshop of approxi- mately thirty singers called "Prelude to Performance," a destination for young professionals who seek guid- ance in more than just singing technique. In the program's 2006 season, five weeks of classes and rehearsals in June and July culminated in fully-staged performances of Don Giovanni and selected acts from Don Pasquale, Madama Butterfly and Falstaff at Manhattan's El Teatro Heckscher. ON: What level of singer is "Prelude" attracting? MA: Most of them have performed at universities or other programs; usually they have done only scene work, or learned a role quickly.

  • 1. Early Years: Maria Before La Callas 2. Metamorphosis
    ! 1. EARLY YEARS: MARIA BEFORE LA CALLAS Maria Callas was born in New York on 2nd December 1923, the daughter of Greek parents. Her name at birth was Maria Kalogeropoulou. When she was 13 years old, her parents separated. Her mother, who was ambitious for her daughter’s musical talent, took Maria and her elder sister to live in Athens. There Maria made her operatic debut at the age of just 15 and studied with Elvira de Hidalgo, a Spanish soprano who had sung with Enrico Caruso. Maria, an intensely dedicated student, began to develop her extraordinary potential. During the War years in Athens the young soprano sang such demanding operatic roles as Tosca and Leonore in Beethoven’s Fidelio. In 1945, Maria returned to the USA. She was chosen to sing Turandot for the inauguration of a prestigious new opera company in Chicago, but it went bankrupt before the opening night. Yet fate turned out to be on Maria’s side: she had been spotted by the veteran Italian tenor, Giovanni Zenatello, a talent scout for the opera festival at the Verona Arena. Callas made her Italian debut there in 1947, starring in La Gioconda by Ponchielli. Her conductor, Tullio Serafin, was to become a decisive force in her career. 2. METAMORPHOSIS After Callas’ debut at the Verona Arena, she settled in Italy and married a wealthy businessman, Giovanni Battista Meneghini. Her influential conductor from Verona, Tullio Serafin, became her musical mentor. She began to make her name in grand roles such as Turandot, Aida, Norma – and even Wagner’s Isolde and Brünnhilde – but new doors opened for her in 1949 when, at La Fenice opera house in Venice, she replaced a famous soprano in the delicate, florid role of Elvira in Bellini’s I puritani.

Callas and Tebaldi have been chosen as the subjects of the reviews because of their renown as singers, the closely coinciding cir• cumstances of their careers and the polarities which they represented in the issue of acting versus singing in operatic performance.

  • Ethel Smyth: a Life of Music and Activism
    Ethel Smyth: A Life of Music and Activism As musician Sir Thomas Beecham, friend to Ethel Smyth, walked into the prison yard at Holloway Prison to visit her, he came upon the scene of dozens of suffragettes marching and singing their war-chant, its opening cry: Shout, shout, up with your song! Cry with the wind, for the dawn is breaking; March, march, swing you along, Wide blows our banner, and hope is waking. Ethel Smyth stood in her jail cell, the voices of the women rising up to her. They were singing her song, The March of the Women (words by Cicely Hamilton), composed a year earlier in 1911 as the anthem for the Women's Social and Political Union. Inspired, she stretched her arms out beyond the window bars and, in the Portrait of Ethel Smyth, 1901, words of Sir Beecham, ". beaming approbation from an overlooking upper by John Singer Sargent window, beat time in almost Bacchic frenzy with a toothbrush." The preceding anecdote illustrates the quintessential Ethel Smyth. The feisty, at times radical, activist fought not only for voting rights for women, but also for the equality of women musicians in the male-dominated milieu that was, and is, classical music. (In today's top 20 U.S. major orchestras in 2014, 91% of conductors/music directors and 63% of musicians were male, with men holding 69% of the [higher-paying] principal positions, and 82% of the concertmaster positions while only comprising 41% of all violinists. [1] Of the compositions performed by the top 21 orchestras in the 2014 – 2015 orchestral season, only 1.8% overall were composed by women, with 14.8% of living composers' compositions being by women.
