SISTER HELEN I got an invitation to write to somebody on death row and then I walked with him to the electric chair on the night of April the fifth, 1984. And once your boat gets in those waters, then I became a witness. Louisiana TV footage of Sister Helen at Hope House NARRATION: “Dead Man Walking” follows the journey of a Louisiana nun, Sister Helen Prejean, to the heart of the death penalty controversy. We see Sister Helen visiting with prisoners at Angola. NARRATION: Her groundbreaking work with death row inmates inspired her to write a book she called “Dead Man Walking.” Her story inspired a powerful feature film… Clip of the film: Dead Man Walking NARRATION: …and now, an opera…. Clip from the opera “Dead Man Walking” SISTER HELEN I never dreamed I was going to get with death row inmates. I got involved with poor people and then learned there was a direct track from being poor in this country and going to prison and going to death row. NARRATION: As the opera began to take shape, the death penalty debate claimed center stage in the news. Gov. George Ryan, IL: I now favor a moratorium because I have grave concerns about our state’s shameful record of convicting innocent people and putting them on death row. Gov. George W.

Tabak" December of 1994, when I wrote this review of Sister Helen Prejean's fascinating and sobering book, Dead Man Walking-An Eyewitness Account of the Death Penalty in the United States,1 was ten years to the month of the execution of my client, Robert Lee Willie. It was also, not coincidentally, ten years to the month in which I first encountered Sister Helen. I had represented Willie in seeking certiorari from the United States Supreme Court in late 1983 to review his conviction and sentence, which was all I had originally agreed to do on his behalf. But when I learned that if I did not continue to represent him, there would likely be no one to represent him in his first state post-conviction and federal habeas corpus proceedings, I felt I could not walk away.

    Oral History Center University of California The Bancroft Library Berkeley, California Frederica von Stade Frederica von Stade: American Star Mezzo-Soprano Interviews conducted by Caroline Crawford in 2011, 2012, 2014, 2015 Copyright © 2020 by The Regents of the University of California Oral History Center, The Bancroft Library, University of California, Berkeley ii Since 1954 the Oral History Center of The Bancroft Library, formerly the Regional Oral History Office, has been interviewing leading participants in or well-placed witnesses to major events in the development of Northern California, the West, and the nation. Oral History is a method of collecting historical information through recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. The recording is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The corrected manuscript is bound with photographs and illustrative materials and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and in other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ********************************* All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and Frederica von Stade dated February 2, 2012. The manuscript is thereby made available for research purposes. All literary rights in the manuscript, including the right to publish, are reserved to The Bancroft Library of the University of California, Berkeley.

  • Opera SAN JOSÉ
    2018 | 2019 SEASON Opera SAN JOSÉ Celebrating 35 YEARS of Excellence Message from General Director Larry Hancock I suspect that it is impossible to say in few words what Melville’s Moby- Dick is about. It seems to be about everything. It may be doubtful that anyone can say precisely what any great work of literature is about. In Search of Lost Time, War and Peace, Middlemarch, Great Expectations, Moby-Dick…The words string along, leading into deeper knowledge page after page, clearer understanding character by character, so that after 800 pages of, say, Middlemarch, you put the book down and know…what? That humanity is…what? That life is lived… how? By whom? But you know you’ve learned something. The search for a more concise meaning is a bit easier after epic literature has been put in the crucible of opera and rendered. Opera, using music, with its layered emotions, penetrates instantaneously on many levels and at once. The sounding of a single chord can convey a whole page of description. Composer Jake Heggie and librettist Gene Scheer have distilled Melville’s epic from 24 hours and 38 minutes (the duration of the audiobook) to three hours of music. Anything that is not essential to the narrative, and a great portion of Melville’s revolutionary novel is not narrative, has been set aside, and as a stage doesn’t provide scene changes by beginning new paragraphs, some words that were spoken in different times and other places have been moved into the here and now, and realizations in the novel that emerge only after long introspective monologues are expressed in a flash, expanded in meaning by an entire orchestra.

Requiem—Kyrie II. Sequence: Dies irae III. Offertory IV. Sanctus V. Agnus Dei VI. Lux aeterna VII. Libera me Tiffany Abban, soprano Katherine Lerner, mezzo-soprano William Davenport, tenor Wayne Tigges, bass-baritone Stuart Mindlin was a Princeton businessman who was also a superb percussionist and timpanist. When I arrived here in 1977 he was a member of PUO’s percussion section, and indeed in those days, sometimes he WAS the percussion section. With his special gifts for friendship, he became close to many generations of students, and was a mentor for student percussionists. In the spring of 1988 Stu did not show up to a rehearsal. We learned that he had lost his life in a traffic accident, and the shock and grief was deep for PUO. The next year we established the first memorial concerts in his name. His family began raising an endowment for PUO in his name, and it is with pride and gratitude that we also dedicate these end-of-the-year concerts to his memory. —M.P. ABOUT TONIGHT’S PROGRAM Verdi’s string quartet represented a radical departure from opera composition in every respect— instrumental rather than vocal, chamber rather than symphonic. Verdi’s Requiem is interesting In the context of Verdi’s career, his Requiem occupies a unique chronological space, falling for how it operates in a more indeterminate middle ground.
