Doctoral Dissertations. 1779. https://opencommons.uconn.edu/dissertations/1779 Male Zwischenfächer Voices and the Baritenor Conundrum Thaddaeus James Bourne, DMA University of Connecticut, 2018 This study will examine the Zwischenfach colloquially referred to as the baritenor. A large body of published research exists regarding the physiology of breathing, the acoustics of singing, and solutions for specific vocal faults. There is similarly a growing body of research into the system of voice classification and repertoire assignment. This paper shall reexamine this research in light of baritenor voices. After establishing the general parameters of healthy vocal technique through appoggio, the various tenor, baritone, and bass Fächer will be studied to establish norms of vocal criteria such as range, timbre, tessitura, and registration for each Fach. The study of these Fächer includes examinations of the historical singers for whom the repertoire was created and how those roles are cast by opera companies in modern times. The specific examination of baritenors follows the same format by examining current and -
First Weekend of 2016 May Festival (May 20-22) Features Award
Chris Pinelo Vice President of Communications [email protected] (513) 744-3338 Meghan Berneking Director of Communications [email protected] (513) 744-3258 mayfestival.com For Immediate Release First weekend of 2016 May Festival (May 20-22) features award- winning soloists, two world premieres, rich choral music 2016 Festival honors Maestro James Conlon’s extraordinary 37-year tenure CINCINNATI, OH – The 2016 May Festival, which celebrates and concludes Music Director James Conlon’s 37-year tenure, kicks off on Friday, May 20 (8 p.m.) at Cincinnati Music Hall with Mozart’s exquisite “Great” Mass in C minor. With its grandiose choruses, pristine virtuosity for soloists and soaring expressiveness, this is one of the composer’s most-beloved works. Also on the program are Mozart’s Ave verum corpus and Exsultate jubilate. Soprano Lisette Oropesa, mezzo-soprano Elizabeth DeShong (who has recently received rave reviews for her recent performances as Calbo in Maometto at the Canadian Opera Company), tenor Ben Bliss and baritone John Cheek bring their artistry to these masterpieces along with the May Festival Chorus (professionally-trained chorus composed primarily of dedicated volunteer singers from around the Tri-state) and Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, all led by Maestro Conlon. On the second day of the Festival (8 p.m. Saturday, May 21 at Music Hall), jealousy, deceit and passion fuel Verdi’s epic Otello. Mr. Conlon has long held an affinity for Verdi’s operas, and first conducted a complete Otello with the May Festival in 1987. Bringing Shakespeare’s characters to life alongside the May Festival Chorus and CSO are tenor Gregory Kunde (Otello), soprano Tamara Wilson (Desdemona), baritone Egils Silins (Iago), tenor Ben Bliss (Cassio), mezzo-soprano Sara Murphy (Emilia), tenor Rodrick Dixon (Roderigo) and baritone John Cheek (Lodovico, Montano, the Herald). -

METROPOLITAN OPERA February 2007 I PURITANI We Saw
METROPOLITAN OPERA February 2007 I PURITANI We saw Bellini's I Puritani with Russian superstar Anna Netrebko in the lead soprano role. She is truly amazing! A most pure and unharsh high end, with faultless intonation throughout her range. She used vibrato very sparingly, for effect rather than, as it seems most singers do, to mask inability to maintain pitch. She could float a dead-on unwavering note in any volume, from a delicate sotto voce to full volume. One particularly impressive effect: her ability to effortlessly modulate from piano to fortissimo without the "running start" of a toss of the head, throwing of shoulders or visible intake of breath – just as if she cranked a virtual volume control clockwise. The only reservation is that her voice is quite light, not suited to the demands of a dramatic soprano. And it wasn't just Bellini's music that accentuated the lightness – we bought a CD of her singing various arias, and find that she is not quite up to the demands of "Sempre Libera" from Verdi's Traviata (written in mazurka rhythm!). Her voice needs more weight and substance for that role. But hey – she's very young, and has lots of time to mature. So a true superstar is born, if not yet at her optimal peak. The opera includes not one, but TWO mad scenes, with the second, major one staged with some very dramatic effects. She jumps up on a bench, then falls over backwards to be caught in mid-air by women of the chorus. Then she runs to the edge of the stage, falls to the floor, rolls over on her back, hangs her head backwards into the orchestra pit, and proceeds to sing! Where is the society for prevention of cruelty to vocal chords? The tenor lead was sung by Illinois native Gregory Kunde, whom we remember from Chicago's Lyric Opera when he finished that company's training program over 25 years ago. -
Tema 7. Escenografía
WAGNERIANA CASTELLANA Nº 53 AÑO 2005 TEMA 7. ESCENOGRAFÍA TÍTULO: “REGIETHEATER”, EL VENENO DE LA OPERA AUTOR: Marcel Prawy “Las palabras bellas no son verdad, las palabras veraces no son bellas.” Esto es lo que cree Lao- Tse. “Regietheater” es un teatro dictado y dominado por el regidor. Esto es para el mundo de la ópera lo que el Sida para el cuerpo humano. Es deber del regidor contar clara y comprensible, al público de hoy, la obra creada por el autor. Cuando lo cuenta de manera incomprensible, si cabe más incomprensible que la pieza misma, ha fracasado. Cuando cuenta la obra de manera diferente a como el autor la ha previsto – cuando según su antojo cambia el contenido de la pieza – engaña al público y este tiene derecho a pedir que le devuelvan el dinero de la entrada. La libertad artística del regidor, en su proyecto visual, tiene los mismos límites que tiene el director de orquesta ante la música. La puesta en escena ha tenido siempre una gran importancia en la historia de la Ópera. Hoy esto es ignorado por los regidores y además, si lo saben, no les importa nada en absoluto. ¿Cómo se logra a través del decorado que sean comprensibles las diferentes fases de la acción? ¿Cómo se crean entradas impresionantes? ¿Cómo se ilumina de manera que la mujer aparezca bella? ¿Dónde se coloca un cantante para que su voz suene lo mejor posible? Es peligroso que el regidor sea quien reparta los papeles, cosa frecuente hoy en día, cuando lo mejor es que sea el director de orquesta quien los escoja. -

HISPASAT to broadcast the opera Otello via satellite from the Teatro Real The opera by Giuseppe Verdi will be shown live and in high definition in a number of public squares, museums and cultural centres in 80 cities throughout Spain. It will also be recorded and shown later in Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Venezuela. Otello, which opens the 2016-2017 season, is the second Teatro Real production to be broadcast by HISPASAT as part of the theatre’s 200th anniversary. Madrid, 23 September 2016. Tomorrow, Spanish satellite and telecommunications operator HISPASAT will air the performance of the opera Otello by Giuseppe Verdi from the Teatro Real live at 20:00 (Spanish time). The opera will be broadcast in high definition and can be watched with the best image and sound quality in museums, town halls, auditoriums, cultural centres and other institutions in over 80 cities throughout Spain. It will also be recorded and shown later in Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Venezuela. HISPASAT’s wide coverage in Latin America also allows the countries in the region to enjoy this opera performance. Broadcasting Otello via satellite forms part of the collaboration agreement signed between HISPASAT and the Teatro Real in November 2015 for the theatre’s 200th anniversary. The agreement sets forth the satellite operator’s provision of space capacity to the live satellite broadcast of several shows that the theatre will offer for this celebration. The agreement falls within HISPASAT’s Corporate Social Responsibility policy and its commitment to supporting the spread of the work of Spain’s cultural institutions. Through this collaboration, HISPASAT enables the Teatro Real to open up, thus allowing its productions to be spread beyond its stage and reach other audiences in different parts of Spain and the world. -
THE ART of CARLOS KLEIBER Carolyn Watson Thesis Submitted In
GESTURE AS COMMUNICATION: THE ART OF CARLOS KLEIBER Carolyn Watson Thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Conservatorium of Music University of Sydney May 2012 Statement of Originality I declare that the research presented here is my own original work and has not been submitted to any other institution for the award of a degree. Signed: Carolyn Watson Date: ii Abstract This thesis focuses on the art of orchestral conducting and in particular, the gestural language used by conductors. Aspects such as body posture and movement, eye contact, facial expressions and manual conducting gestures will be considered. These nonverbal forms of expression are the means a conductor uses to communicate with players. Manual conducting gestures are used to show fundamental technical information relating to tempo, dynamics and cues, as well as demonstrating to a degree, musical expression and conveying an interpretation of the musical work. Body posture can communicate authority, leadership, confidence and inspiration. Furthermore, physical gestures such as facial expressions can express a conductor’s mood and demeanour, as well as the emotional content of the music. Orchestral conducting is thus a complex and multifarious art, at the core of which is gesture. These physical facets of conducting will be examined by way of a case study. The conductor chosen as the centrepiece of this study is Austrian conductor, Carlos Kleiber (1930-2004). Hailed by many as the greatest conductor of all time1, Kleiber was a perfectionist with unscrupulously high standards who enjoyed a career with some of the world’s finest orchestras and opera companies including the Vienna Philharmonic, La Scala, Covent Garden, the Met and the Chicago Symphony. -
