Renée Fleming on PBS Press Contacts: Harry Forbes, WNET 212-560-8027 or [email protected] Renée Fleming on PBS Great Performances at the Met: Elektra (Strauss) Sunday, September 18, 12 p.m. on PBS Renée Fleming hosts Strauss’ blazing tragedy about an ancient Greek princess hell-bent on revenge, coming to the Met in the final opera production by the legendary director Patrice Chéreau, who died in 2014. Esa-Pekka Salonen, who made a riveting Met debut leading Chéreau’s production of Janáek’s From the House of the Dead in 2009, returns to conduct an extraordinary cast headed by Nina Stemme as the obsessed and bloodthirsty title character. Waltraud Meier sings her first Met performances of Klytämnestra, Elektra’s mother and the object of her fury, with Adrianne Pieczonka as Elektra’s sister, Chrysothemis; Eric Owens as her exiled brother, Orest; and German tenor Burkhard Ulrich, in his Met debut, as the corrupt monarch Aegisth. Chéreau’s longtime collaborator Vincent Huguet will stage the production at the Met. COMING IN 2017 Great Performances at the Met: Der Rosenkavalier (Strauss) The dream cast of Renée Fleming as the Marschallin and Elna Garana as Octavian star in Strauss’ grandest opera. In his new production, Robert Carsen, the director behind the Met’s recent Falstaff, places the action at the end of the Habsburg Empire, underscoring the opera’s subtext of class and conflict against a rich backdrop of gilt and red damask, in a staging that also stars Günther Groissböck as Baron Ochs. Sebastian Weigle conducts the sparklingly perfect score. Great Performances: Bel Canto from Lyric Opera of Chicago In December 2015, Lyric Opera of Chicago premiered an opera adaptation of Ann Patchett’s best-selling novel Bel Canto, a gripping contemporary story inspired by the 1996 Japanese Embassy hostage crisis in Lima, Peru. Curated by Renée Fleming, Lyric’s creative consultant, the production features a score by the remarkable young Peruvian composer Jimmy López and a libretto by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Nilo Cruz, and dramatizes the tensions and unexpected alliances that form between the terrorists and their hostages. Australian-born American soprano Danielle de Niese portrays the story’s central figure, the fictional soprano Roxanne Coss, under the baton of Lyric music director Sir Andrew Davis, with direction by Kevin Newbury.

    Making the Clarinet Sing: Enhancing Clarinet Tone, Breathing, and Phrase Nuance through Voice Pedagogy D.M.A Document Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Musical Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Alyssa Rose Powell, M.M. Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2020 D.M.A. Document Committee Dr. Caroline A. Hartig, Advisor Dr. Scott McCoy Dr. Eugenia Costa-Giomi Professor Katherine Borst Jones 1 Copyrighted by Alyssa Rose Powell 2020 2 Abstract The clarinet has been favorably compared to the human singing voice since its invention and continues to be sought after for its expressive, singing qualities. How is the clarinet like the human singing voice? What facets of singing do clarinetists strive to imitate? Can voice pedagogy inform clarinet playing to improve technique and artistry? This study begins with a brief historical investigation into the origins of modern voice technique, bel canto, and highlights the way it influenced the development of the clarinet. Bel canto set the standards for tone, expression, and pedagogy in classical western singing which was reflected in the clarinet tradition a hundred years later. Present day clarinetists still use bel canto principles, implying the potential relevance of other facets of modern voice pedagogy. Singing techniques for breathing, tone conceptualization, registration, and timbral nuance are explored along with their possible relevance to clarinet performance. The singer ‘in action’ is presented through an analysis of the phrasing used by Maria Callas in a portion of ‘Donde lieta’ from Puccini’s La Bohème. This demonstrates the influence of text on interpretation for singers.

  • Ann Patchett, Bel Canto (New York: Harpercollins Publishers, 2001
    133 Reviews DOI: 10.2478/abcsj-2019-0010 American, British and Canadian Studies, Volume 32, June 2019 Ann Patchett, Bel Canto (New York: HarperCollins Publishers, 2001. $16.00 paperback). Pp. 318 ISBN 0-06-093441-7 and Bel Canto (Priority Pictures/ Depth of Field/ A-Line Pictures 2018), directed by Paul Weitz. Screenplay by Paul Weitz and Anthony Weintraub, based on the novel by Ann Patchett. 1h 40min. Starring Julianne Moore, Ken Watanabe, Sebastian Koch, Ryo Kase, Christopher Lambert. When Ann Patchett’s fourth novel, Bel Canto , was published in 2001, it was met with almost universal praise from critics, also winning the prestigious PEN/ Faulkner Award for Fiction, and rightfully so: it is a modern classic infused, from the first to the last page, with the author’s scintillating prose that unfolds gradually, to the beat of an inner rhythm reminding one of the architecture of classical opera. Unfortunately, as it is often the case in classical opera, whatever rare happy end exists is decidedly more bitter than sweet. The novel is inspired by a real-life hostage crisis taking place in the Peruvian capital Lima in 1996, when members of the Tupac Amaru revolutionary guerrillas stormed the Japanese Embassy in the middle of an official reception to celebrate the Emperor’s birthday and took almost six hundred high profile guests as hostages; the crisis dragged on for months before Peruvian security forces stormed the compound and killed all the rebels, releasing the remaining prisoners. By and large, Patchett preserved all the features of this dramatic incident in her novel, but added one more ingredient that she felt such a crisis required: a world-famous lyric soprano named Roxane Coss.

  • The Baritone Voice in the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries: a Brief Examination of Its Development and Its Use in Handel’S Messiah
    THE BARITONE VOICE IN THE SEVENTEENTH AND EIGHTEENTH CENTURIES: A BRIEF EXAMINATION OF ITS DEVELOPMENT AND ITS USE IN HANDEL’S MESSIAH BY JOSHUA MARKLEY Submitted to the graduate degree program in The School of Music and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts. ________________________________ Chairperson Dr. John Stephens ________________________________ Dr. Michelle Hayes ________________________________ Dr. Paul Laird ________________________________ Dr. Julia Broxholm ________________________________ Mr. Mark Ferrell Date Defended: 06/08/2016 The Dissertation Committee for JOSHUA MARKLEY certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: THE BARITONE VOICE IN THE SEVENTEENTH AND EIGHTEENTH CENTURIES: A BRIEF EXAMINATION OF ITS DEVELOPMENT AND ITS USE IN HANDEL’S MESSIAH ________________________________ Chairperson Dr. John Stephens Date approved: 06/08/2016 ii Abstract Musicians who want to perform Handel’s oratorios in the twenty-first century are faced with several choices. One such choice is whether or not to use the baritone voice, and in what way is best to use him. In order to best answer that question, this study first examines the history of the baritone voice type, the historical context of Handel’s life and compositional style, and performing practices from the baroque era. It then applies that information to a case study of a representative sample of Handel’s solo oratorio literature. Using selections from Messiah this study charts the advantages and disadvantages of having a baritone sing the solo parts of Messiah rather than the voice part listed, i.e. tenor or bass, in both a modern performance and an historically-informed performance in an attempt to determine whether a baritone should sing the tenor roles or bass roles and in what context.

Program Concerto in C minor Alessandro Marcello Allegro moderato (1686-1739) Adagio Allegro with Larry Smith, piano The Oboe Concerto in C minor first attracted attention in the form of an embellished transcription for keyboard by J. S. Bach (BWV 947). This version was included in a set of transcriptions by Bach entitled 16 Concerti after Vivaldi. Thus, the concerto was first ascribed to Vivaldi. It was later attributed to Benedetto Marcello, but has most recently been credited to his brother Alessandro. Originally it was for oboe and string orchestra in D minor rather than C minor. It is a work in three movements, following the traditional Venetian concerto format of fast-slow-fast movements. Allegro moderato opens with a ritornello introducing the basic themes. The oboe then enters, building upon these themes, and is frequently interrupted by the return of material from the opening ritomello.

Based on Ann Patchett's bestselling 2001 novel (which was inspired by the 1996­97 Peruvian hostage crisis), the new opera was composed by Jimmy López with a libretto by Pulitzer Prize­winning playwright Nilo Cruz. Legendary soprano Renée Fleming, Lyric's creative consultant, curated the project from its inception and hosts the broadcast. Lyric will host a free screening of the broadcast in the Ardis Krainik Theatre of the Civic Opera House starting at 7:30pm on Friday, January 13. Seating will be reserved and reservations are required at lyricopera.org/belcanto. “One of the greatest joys of my role as creative consultant at Lyric has been to develop this new work for the operatic stage,” says Fleming. “When the novel Bel Canto came out, it was a runaway bestseller, and friends from everywhere called me and asked, ‘Is this based on you?’ A novel with a soprano at the center, singing my repertoire? Naturally, I had to read it.
