Since its establishment in 1954, Lyric Opera of Chicago has been a beacon of operatic excellence, music, and culture. Lyric Opera is internationally renowned and has a longstanding commitment to arts, education, and artistic development which places Lyric at the heart of our communities with its initiatives focused on Chicago-area children and teenagers. The great success, cemented by steady patronage year after year, is made evident in the continuation of tonight's popular event at one of Chicago's great treasures - Millennium Park's Jay Pritzker Pavilion. This free concert allows the entire family to explore historic elements of the world's musical canon. I could not be more excited for this event and commend Lyric Opera of Chicago forproviding residents and visitors with unique opportunities to experience some of the best of Chicago's vibrant culture. I would also like to thank all of the organizers and performers for making this concert possible through your tireless efforts and great passion for opera. I hope that those visiting our great city take time to experience some of the special places in Chicago. Our iconic skyline and incredible lakefront invite you to explore all that Chicago has to offer. I hope you have a chance to sample our distinguished restaurants, tour our great universities, and visit our world-class museums during your stay. Please accept my heartfeltwelco me as you celebrate and enjoy Stars of Lyric Opera at Millennium Park. Sincerely, Mayor FROM THE GENERAL DIRECTOR STEVE LEONARD It’s my pleasure to welcome you to the annual Stars of Lyric Opera at Millennium Park concert. We thank Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Cultural Commissioner Mark Kelly for once again making the Pritzker Pavilion available for us to offer this special gift to the City of Chicago. All of us at Lyric are grateful for the participation of Lyric’s magnificent orchestra and chorus, along with the host of brilliant stars you’ll be hearing this evening. I’m also delighted that the concert marks the first Chicago appearance of our conductor, Domingo Hindoyan, who will be on the podium for Lyric’s opening production of the season, Puccini’s glorious La bohème. It’s been our custom to feature a number of operas from the upcoming season in our Millennium Park programs. Those highlighted tonight, in addition to La bohème, are Mozart’s deeply moving Idomeneo and two popular Verdi works: the powerfully dramatic Il trovatore and the exquisitely romantic La traviata. The 2018/19 season at Lyric includes other wonderful works: the third installment of Wagner’s Ring cycle with the exhilarating Siegfried; Strauss’s mesmerizing Elektra; and two long-awaited Lyric premieres – Massenet’s enchanting retelling of the Cinderella story, Cendrillon, and Handel’s musically and vocally breathtaking Ariodante.

  • Maria Agresta,Alfonso Gatto È Tornato Al Catalogo
    Il puritanesimo scandalizzato della Salerno bene Niente clamori e proteste per Fa’afafine in un massimo cittadino blindato Di OLGA CHIEFFI In un teatro Verdi blindato, con carabinieri a sorvegliarne l’entrata è andato in scena lo spettacolo Fa’ afafine “Mi chiamo Alex e sono un dinosauro” inserito nella stagione dedicata ai giovanissimi studenti delle scuole primarie, che tanto clamore ha suscitato in città. I pensieri belli sono come gli uccelli migratori… Si muovono tutti insieme, così non si perdono”. Questa è solo una delle immagini poetiche ed emozionanti evocate da Alex, il protagonista dello spettacolo “Fa’afafine – Mi chiamo Alex e sono un dinosauro. La pièce che non mancano di sorprendere e commuovere, sono incentrati sul dibattutissimo e spesso frainteso tema del “gender”. Alex, interpretato dal bravo attore Michele Degirolamo, è un bambino curioso, brillante e pieno di inventiva che condivide il suo mondo fantastico coi pupazzi suoi amici, ma non ha ancora deciso se e quando essere maschio o femmina. Il bambino molto speciale infatti sogna di trasferirsi a Samoa per poter vivere da Fa’afafine. La parola composta (fa’a-= alla maniera di; “fafine” =donna) definisce un vero e proprio terzo sesso, coloro che, sin da bambini, non amano identificarsi e a cui la società samoana non impone una scelta. I fa’afafine godono di massimo rispetto. Sono maschi alla nascita, ed esplicitamente incarnano entrambi i caratteri, variando nel comportamento dal femminile stravagante al prosaicamente maschile. La scelta dell’abbigliamento è uno dei momenti più difficili per Alex: maschera del supereroe o scarpe da donna? Vestito da principessa o felpa con cappuccio? La scena tutta (firmata da Caterina Guia) è la sua stanzetta, animata in modo vincente e fantasioso dal video mapping di Daniele Salaris – Videostille, in grado di trasformarsi, in un soffio, in acquario, astronave, cielo stellato, luogo dei sogni.
