This is in addition to the display case in the Huntington Avenue corridor that highlights the American premiere of the work, which was given by Erich Leinsdorf and the Boston Symphony Orchestra in July 1963 at Tanglewood. BSO Community Chamber Concerts in November The BSO is happy to continue offering free Community Chamber Concerts in locations across Massachusetts during the 2013-14 season. These Sunday-afternoon concerts offer engaging chamber music performances by BSO musicians for communities limited in access to the BSO by either distance or economics; they are designed to build personal connections to the BSO and orchestral music, allowing community members to become more deeply engaged with the BSO. Each program lasts approximately one hour and is fol- lowed by a coffee-and-dessert reception for the audience and musicians. In November, the BSO hosts Community Chamber Concerts on November 3 at 3 p.m. at the JFK Presidential Library and Museum in Boston; on November 10 at 2:30 p.m. at Hibernian Hall in Roxbury; on November 17 at 3 p.m. at Cambridge Public Library; and on November 24 at 3 p.m. at First Church in Dedham. All of these concerts are free, but tickets are required and avail- able by calling SymphonyCharge at 1-888-266-1200. BSO 101—The Free Adult Education Series at Symphony Hall Again this year, BSO 101 offers informative sessions about upcoming BSO programming and behind-the-scenes activities at Symphony Hall. The two remaining sessions this fall take place on Tuesday, November 12 (“An Insider’s View” of the BSO library with principal librarian Marshall Burlingame) and Wednesday, November 20 (“Are You Listening?”: BSO Director of Program Publications Marc Mandel discusses “musical signposts” in works of Beethoven, Mozart, Bruckner, and Brahms). These sessions take place from 5:30-6:45 p.m. at Symphony Hall, and each is followed by a reception offering beverages and hors d’oeuvres. Admission to the BSO 101 sessions is free; please note, however, that as of this season, there is a nominal charge to attend the receptions. To reserve your place for the date or dates you’re planning to attend, please e-mail [email protected] or call (617) 638-9395. For further information, please visit bso.org. week 8 bso news 7 “Do You Hear What I Hear?”: A Series of New, Composer-Curated Prelude Concerts This season, in conjunction with its performances of newly commissioned works from Mark-Anthony Turnage, Marc Neikrug, and Bernard Rands, the BSO has teamed up with the New England Conservatory in creating Prelude Chamber Concerts curated by the com- posers themselves, to offer an intimate and revealing window into how these composers listen to music, and how what they hear informs their own compositional process. The concerts are prepared and presented by student artists at NEC, with each composer offering commentary on the chosen works in conversation with BSO Assistant Artistic Administrator Benjamin Schwartz. These free, hour-long concerts, all at 6 p.m., take place in Williams Hall at NEC prior to the initial BSO performances of the composers’ new symphonic works.

Actors mingle and clash in the best possible lighting, and conversation is fraught with wit and emotion. The director usually gets the bulk of the credit. But before he or she can play the consummate host, someone must carefully select the right guests, send out the invites, and keep track of the RSVPs”. ‘OSCARS: The Role Of Casting Director’ by Monica Corcoran Harel, The Deadline Team, December 6, 2012 Playing one of the key roles in creating that successful “dinner” is the Casting Director, but someone who is often over-looked in the recognition department. Everyone sees the actor at work, but very few people see the hours of research, the intrinsic skills, the gut instinct that the Casting Director puts into finding just the right person for just the right role. It’s a mix of routine and inspiration which brings the characters we come to love, and sometimes to hate, to the big screen. The Casting Director’s delicate work as liaison between director, actors, their agent/manager and the studio/network figures prominently in decisions which can make or break a project. It’s a job that can't garner an Oscar, but its mighty importance is always felt behind the scenes. In July 2013, the Academy of Motion Pictures of Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) created a new branch for Casting Directors, and we are thrilled that a number of members of the International Casting Directors Network are amongst the first Casting Directors invited into the Academy.

Bieito’s continued association with the company shows ENO’s commitment to highly theatrical and new interpretations of core repertoire. Following the success of his Carmen at ENO in 2012, described by The Guardian as ‘a cogent, gripping piece of work’, Bieito’s production of Fidelio comes to the London Coliseum after its 2010 premiere in Munich. Working with designer Rebecca Ringst, Bieito presents a vast Escher-like labyrinth set, symbolising the powerfully claustrophobic nature of the opera. Edward Gardner, ENO’s highly acclaimed Music Director, 2013 Olivier Award-nominee and recipient of an OBE for services to music, conducts an outstanding cast led by Stuart Skelton singing Florestan and Emma Bell as Leonore. Since his definitive performance of Peter Grimes at ENO, Skelton is now recognised as one of the finest heldentenors of his generation, appearing at the world’s major opera houses, including the Metropolitan Opera, New York, and Opéra National de Paris.

  • 1,000 Films to See Before You Die Published in the Guardian, June 2007
    1,000 Films to See Before You Die Published in The Guardian, June 2007 http://film.guardian.co.uk/1000films/0,,2108487,00.html Ace in the Hole (Billy Wilder, 1951) Prescient satire on news manipulation, with Kirk Douglas as a washed-up hack making the most of a story that falls into his lap. One of Wilder's nastiest, most cynical efforts, who can say he wasn't actually soft-pedalling? He certainly thought it was the best film he'd ever made. Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (Tom Shadyac, 1994) A goofy detective turns town upside-down in search of a missing dolphin - any old plot would have done for oven-ready megastar Jim Carrey. A ski-jump hairdo, a zillion impersonations, making his bum "talk" - Ace Ventura showcases Jim Carrey's near-rapturous gifts for physical comedy long before he became encumbered by notions of serious acting. An Actor's Revenge (Kon Ichikawa, 1963) Prolific Japanese director Ichikawa scored a bulls-eye with this beautifully stylized potboiler that took its cues from traditional Kabuki theatre. It's all ballasted by a terrific double performance from Kazuo Hasegawa both as the female-impersonator who has sworn vengeance for the death of his parents, and the raucous thief who helps him. The Addiction (Abel Ferrara, 1995) Ferrara's comic-horror vision of modern urban vampires is an underrated masterpiece, full- throatedly bizarre and offensive. The vampire takes blood from the innocent mortal and creates another vampire, condemned to an eternity of addiction and despair. Ferrara's mob movie The Funeral, released at the same time, had a similar vision of violence and humiliation.

In the name of his newly created religion, the great Russian novelist has renounced his noble title, his property and even his family in favor of poverty, vegetarianism and even celibacy. After she’s born him thirteen children! When Sofya then discovers that Tolstoy’s trusted disciple, Chertkov (Paul Giamatti)—whom she despises—may have secretly convinced her husband to sign a new will, leaving the rights to his iconic novels to the Russian people rather than his very own family, she is consumed by righteous outrage. This is the last straw. Using every bit of cunning, every trick of seduction in her considerable arsenal, she fights fiercely for what she believes is rightfully hers.

  • NEWSLETTER of the American Handel Society
    NEWSLETTER of The American Handel Society Volume XVIII, Number 1 April 2003 A PILGRIMAGE TO IOWA As I sat in the United Airways terminal of O’Hare International Airport, waiting for the recently bankrupt carrier to locate and then install an electric starter for the no. 2 engine, my mind kept returning to David Lodge’s description of the modern academic conference. In Small World (required airport reading for any twenty-first century academic), Lodge writes: “The modern conference resembles the pilgrimage of medieval Christendom in that it allows the participants to indulge themselves in all the pleasures and diversions of travel while appearing to be austerely bent on self-improvement.” He continues by listing the “penitential exercises” which normally accompany the enterprise, though, oddly enough, he omits airport delays. To be sure, the companionship in the terminal (which included nearly a dozen conferees) was anything but penitential, still, I could not help wondering if the delay was prophecy or merely a glitch. The Maryland Handel Festival was a tough act to follow and I, and perhaps others, were apprehensive about whether Handel in Iowa would live up to the high standards set by its august predecessor. In one way the comparison is inappropriate. By the time I started attending the Maryland conference (in the early ‘90’s), it was a first-rate operation, a Cadillac among festivals. Comparing a one-year event with a two-decade institution is unfair, though I am sure in the minds of many it was inevitable. Fortunately, I feel that the experience in Iowa compared very favorably with what many of us had grown accustomed Frontispiece from William Coxe, Anecdotes fo George Frederick Handel and John Christopher Smith to in Maryland.

Tzimon Barto: I’ve always had a predilection for early art: the Italian Trecento and Quattrocento, for instance, and in music, the Renaissance and Baroque. It’s what I listen to for pleasure, so I was familiar with Rameau. But then, in 2001, I saw his opera Platée, performed by Marc Minkowski and Les Musiciens du Louvre: I’ve never seen better opera in my life! That is, until I went to a production of Rameau’s Les Boréades in 2003 performed by William Christie’s incredible group, Les Arts Florissants, and it was the same. Everything was perfectly in sync: the 3 musical interpretations, the direction, sets, costumes, dazzling choreography, yet not in a stud- ied, overly-historical way. Both productions were updated to modern times, and yet they were somehow very Baroque, with similarities to our age of surfeit and excess.
