Also on dVd is A Celebration of Leonard Bernstein: Carnegie Hall Opening Night 2008, the San francisco Symphony’s gala Bernstein concert, broadcast originally on PBS’s Great Performances. MAHLER SYMPHONY NO. 1 “it’s not unheard of for this orchestra and conductor to sound so good together; anyone who’s been going to davies Symphony hall with any frequency in recent years has heard comparable performances. But to hear the dramatic sweep and sonic depth of the performance caught so resplendently on disc—that’s another story. thomas’ dedication to live recordings has never seemed so thoroughly justified.” – San Francisco Chronicle Mahler: Symphony No. 1 SFS-0002 Hybrid SACD MAHLER SYMPHONY NO. 2 SOLOISTS Isabel Bayrakdarian Lorraine Hunt Lieberson with the San francisco Symphony Chorus “At times demoniacally dramatic, [MTT] … yields a forceful, stunning interpretation (sumptuous brass) with sepulchral undertones (strings from beyond the grave). the vocal parts are almost supernatural.… it is a decidedly classy performance.” – Le Monde Mahler: Symphony No.

  • Sally Matthews Is Magnificent

    Sally Matthews Is Magnificent

    ` DVORAK Rusalka, Glyndebourne Festival, Robin Ticciati. DVD Opus Arte Sally Matthews is magnificent. During the Act II court ball her moral and social confusion is palpable. And her sorrowful return to the lake in the last act to be reviled by her water sprite sisters would melt the winter ice. Christopher Cook, BBC Music Magazine, November 2020 Sally Matthews’ Rusalka is sung with a smoky soprano that has surprising heft given its delicacy, and the Prince is Evan LeRoy Johnson, who combines an ardent tenor with good looks. They have great chemistry between them and the whole cast is excellent. Opera Now, November-December 2020 SCHUMANN Paradies und die Peri, Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, Paolo Bortolameolli Matthews is noted for her interpretation of the demanding role of the Peri and also appears on one of its few recordings, with Rattle conducting. The soprano was richly communicative in the taxing vocal lines, which called for frequent leaps and a culminating high C … Her most rewarding moments occurred in Part III, particularly in “Verstossen, verschlossen” (“Expelled again”), as she fervently Sally Matthews vowed to go to the depths of the earth, an operatic tour-de-force. Janelle Gelfand, Cincinnati Business Courier, December 2019 Soprano BARBER Two Scenes from Anthony & Cleopatra, Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Juanjo Mena This critic had heard a fine performance of this music by Matthews and Mena at the BBC Proms in London in 2018, but their performance here on Thursday was even finer. Looking suitably regal in a glittery gold form-fitting gown, the British soprano put her full, vibrant, richly contoured voice fully at the service of text and music.

Scott Parry, Director Myra Huang, Vocal Coach & Pianist Kristen Kemp, Vocal Coach & Pianist Megan P. G. Kolpin, Props Coordinator DIRECTOR’S NOTE In each of our lives—during this last year especially—we may have discovered ourselves in moments of wanting, even needing some sort of human connection, but instead finding separation by any number of barriers. In the arias and scenes that follow, we witness characters in just this kind of moment; searching for meaningful contact yet being somehow barred from achieving it. Through circumstance, distance, convention, misunderstanding, pride, fear, ego, or what have you, we may find ourselves in situations similar to the characters in this program, while looking forward to the days when connection can be more easily achieved and separation the exception to the rule.

    Summer 2021 NEWSLETTER : BULLETIN Été 2012 Handel’S the Resurrection - a New Production for a New Era Opera Atelier in 2021 by Lesley Robinson

    Société d' Opéra National Capital de la Capitale Nationale Opera Society Summer 2021 NEWSLETTER : BULLETIN Été 2012 Handel’s The Resurrection - a New Production for a New Era Opera Atelier in 2021 by Lesley Robinson After more than a year of re-runs and old favourites, I am absolutely thrilled to be writing about a brand-new production. When Ontario went into a lockdown in March 2020, the production was officially cancelled. At that time, the set had been built, the costumes were almost ready and rehearsals had begun. Instead of just shutting everything down and waiting for things to get back to “normal”, Toronto’s Opera Atelier chose to create something new and exciting. Rather than bemoaning what was not possible, they focused on new ways to present their traditional, classic, baroque content. Atelier’s production of The Resurrection is a film, which was streamed online over a limited period for their audience. They sold tickets, just as they would for a regular production and provided an online libretto, translation and program book. The creators’ task was to reimagine a production, whilst remaining true to the work. They looked back to the roots of the piece which was first performed in Rome in 1708 in the grand hall of a palace. Without the constraints of a regular theatrical auditorium and in keeping with the premiere, they decided to film The Resurrection in the Ballroom of St. Lawrence Hall. Everything was done in strict accordance with pandemic guidelines and when the appropriately socially distanced artists of the Atelier Ballet appeared in their protective masks, I was immediately struck by the impression that this was a whole new take on a masked ball.
