“This is the Met at its adventurous best.” –Wall Street Journal
The New York Times calls Thomas Adès’s masterpiece “one of the most inspired, audacious and personal operas to have come along in years.” Robert Lepage’s “fantastical production…offers a superb cast, headed by the charismatic baritone Simon Keenlyside… Ariel is a dazzling creation and Audrey Luna conquers the role… Jasmine Catudal’s sets are alluring and inventive… Adès drew a textured, glittering and suspenseful account of his opera from the great Met orchestra.” The Financial Times lauds the performance’s “rare virtuosity… Keenlyside sang with sensitive force… [and] loomed and brooded magnetically.” The Associated Press praises Adès’s “magical score… filled with memorable passages of striking originality,” and Classical Review heralds Lepage’s “dazzling and thought-provoking production.”

GENRE: PARENTS PICKS
This weekend at the Jane Pickens Theater in Newport
TEATRO ALLA SCALA: SIEGFRIED ON SUNDAY NOVEMBER 11TH AT 9:00AM
STARRING:
Lance Ryan, Peter Bronder, Juha Uusitalo, Johannes Martin Kranzle, Dean Peterson, Anna Larsson, Nina Stemme, Rinnat Moriah
DIRECTOR:
Daniel Barenboim
OVERVIEW
The Ring Cycle continues with Siegfried, starring
Lance Ryan as the ubermensch youth, in this new production from La Scala,
Milan. The tale of gods and mortals, all set to Wagner’s incomparable music, is
a must-see (and must-hear!) for any true opera lover. Wagnerian specialist Nina
Stemme is Brünnhilde, with Daniel Barenboim at the podium.
PROGRAM NOTE
As the saying goes, ‘Never change a winning team’. And
so continues the collaborative effort between Daniel Barenboim and Guy Cassiers
on Der Ring des Nibelungen, the first time in La Scala’s history that the
four-part epic has been performed in its original language and with the same
director. In 2013, on the occasion of the bicentenary of Wagner’s birth, the complete
Ring cycle will be performed in the same week, for two consecutive weeks.
This production of Siegfried, which sees the twilight
of the Gods and the dawning of the era of the Heroes, features some of the
finest Wagnerian voices of today, including Lance Ryan in the role of
Siegfried, Anna Larsson as Erda, and Nina Stemme, recipient of the Italian
National Association of Music Critics award for her Brünnhilde in Die Walküre.

OPERA ON THE INTERNET
WITH
DAVE D' AGUANNO
Aside from this Saturday afternoon's HD-transmission
of "The Tempest" (Thomas Ades), there is one other Met offering worth
noting, and that would be tomorrow night's free LIVE audio-stream of the
opening night performance of Verdi's "Un Ballo in Maschera" with the
same cast that will be performing this work next month (Dec. 8) when the Met
treats us to yet another of its wonderful HD-transmissions at area movie
theatres.
(www.metopera.org)
Also worth noting on Saturday (Nov. 10): There's a
concert that was given in Paris on October 30 of Beethoven's
"Fidelio" which features tenor Jonas Kaufmann as Floreston. Kaufmann,
you may remember, sang the title role in Gounod's "Faust" last
December when the Met transmitted that opera to area movie theatres.
(http://sites.radiofrance.fr/francemusique/accueil/)
Speaking of which, "Faust" will be broadcast
on BBC Radio 3, when that station gives us a chance to hear what Opera North
(in Leeds) has to offer, in a performance from last month.
(www.bbc.co.uk/radio3/)
Radio 4 (the Netherlands) brings us this week's
noteworthy Russian opera: Mussorgsky's "Boris Godunov" in a
performance that took place on the 13th of last month in Madrid.
(www.radio4.nl/)
Then there are a couple of popular
"standards" on Saturday afternoon's schedule, as CBC Radio 2 airs
Puccini's "Tosca" in a Canadian Opera Company performance which took
place last January in Toronto, with Adrianne Pieczonka singing the title role.
Met audiences had a chance to see and hear her in the role of Amelia in Verdi's
"Simon Boccanegra" not too long ago when Placido Domingo sang the
title role in that opera.
(www.cbc.ca/radio2/)
And finally, Rossini's "The Barber of
Seville" can be heard on NPR, as performed by the Academy of Vocal Arts in
Philadelphia.
(www.wrti.org/)
Enjoy!

(Not opera, but...)
A LATE QUARTET STARRING PHILIP SEYMOUR HOFFMAN, CHRISTOPHER WALKEN AND CATHERINE KEENER
NOVEMBER 09 - NOVEMBER 15
OVERVIEW
Starring Philip Seymour Hoffman, Christopler Walken and Catherine Keener
Set in iconic New York City, this is the story of four musicians, bound together by their passion for music and long years of working together. But when their patriarch Peter is diagnosed with a terminal illness, the repercussions hit the group deeper than they could imagine. First and second violinists Robert and Daniel row over first chair, Robert and violist Juliette's marriage hits the rocks when he has an affair, and their headstrong daughter embarks on her own explosive affair - with Daniel. As their 25th anniversary performance looms, the musicians must either find a way to overcome their troubles, and preserve their legacy - or part ways forever
