The Royal Ballet's latest programme sandwiches a baffling dramatic work between two displays of dancing. Kim Brandstrup's new work is called Rushes: Fragments of a Lost Story, so perhaps it's churlish to complain that this fractured story is confusing. The real trouble is that it lacks drama. Confrontations are blurred, emotions vague.

"The Abduction from the Seraglio" at the Met

The New York Sun Sun, 27 Apr 2008 10:22 PM PDT

In the course of his brief years, Mozart wrote an opera called "The Abduction from the Seraglio" - a delightful thing. And it received a delightful performance at the Metropolitan Opera on Saturday night. This is one of Mozart's "Turkish" operas, and one of his "rescue" operas: European voyagers are captured by pirates and sold to the Pasha Selim; brave men attempt to rescue their fair maidens. ...

SIR HARRISON BIRTWISTLE AND THE MINOTAUR

The beast within

Hairy chords, blood smoothies, and 'a bit of Boris' - Sir Harrison Birtwistle talks to Tom Service about his new opera, The Minotaur Friday April 11, 2008

The Guardian
'It's like this, look." Sir Harrison Birtwistle is explaining the origin of his opera The Minotaur, which premieres on Tuesday at the Royal Opera House, and he points to a Picasso print on the wall of his living room in his Wiltshire home. It's an image of the Minotaur's death, in which the final agonies of the half-bull, half-man are ogled by a small crowd of spectators. The drawing inverts the children's storybook idea of the Minotaur myth, that the beast represents pure, rapacious evil. Picasso invites us to share the Minotaur's pain, to see him as human as well as monstrous.

Naturally this month's Abu Dhabi music festival at the self-styled 'seven-star' Emirates Palace Hotel wanted the best: the Bolshoi flew in to do Swan Lake, and there was one singer they simply had to have - the hottest diva in the world right now, Anna Netrebko. She intoxicated the audience with a stellar performance.

SIMON BLECH E AS DANÇAS SINFÔNICAS - RACHMANINOV

Foi a última composição de Serguei Rachmaninov (1873-1943). Sua estréia deu-se com a Orquestra de Filadélfia, sob a regência de Eugene Ormandy, amigo pessoal do compositor, em 1941.

Sua estréia, em São Paulo, aconteceu em 1968, com a Orquestra Filarmônica de São Paulo, sob a regência do saudoso maestro argentino, seu regente titular, Simon Blech (1924-1997). Foi no Tuca e eu estava lá. Fã incondicional de Rachmaninov, amei a peça de imediato e saí em busca de uma gravação. Naquela época, como hoje, somente um LP importado, que custava e ainda custa muito caro. Foi na Breno Rossi, elegante casa de discos na rua Barão de Itapetininga, que o encontei. Comprei é claro.

Escrevendo estas linhas, veio-me à lembrança que um filho de Simon Blech, então com 19 anos, foi por um período clarinetista da orquestra. Fui procurá-lo na web e encontrei sua página.

Há uma bela homenagem a seu pai quando narra sobre um lugar cujo nome em seus últimos momentos de vida, Simon murmurara: USTVARI

Simon Blech foi "meu professor de música". Cursando o primeiro ano de História na PUC, "matava" as aulas de História Medieval e de Religião para poder assistir aos ensaios, no Tuca, ao lado da Universidade. Nos sábados não perdia um concerto.

Dotado de uma simpatia ímpar e de um belo sorriso tímido, diria, Blech a todos cativava. Suas interpretações foram memoráveis. Neste país onde tudo se perde, muitos dos concertos que devem ter sido gravados pela TV Cultura devem ter se perdido. Uma pena.

Esta semana, teremos a Osesp apresentando essa maravilhosa peça. Eu estarei lá curtindo essa bela peça e dando asas à emoção e às lembranças.

San Francisco Chronicle Sun, 13 Apr 2008 0:35 AM PDTRATING: (WILD APPLAUSE) If there were any doubt that Natalie Dessay belonged in the realm of operatic superstars, her acclaimed performance in the Metropolitan Opera's "Lucia di Lamermoor" put it to rest last year. Dessay's coruscating mad scene from that...

Battle Looks Ahead, Not Behind
San Francisco Chronicle Fri, 11 Apr 2008 5:58 PM PDTLike Mark McGwire, Kathleen Battle doesn't want to talk about the past _ at least not when it comes to her rancorous firing from the Metropolitan Opera 14 years ago.

Metropolitan Opera: The Force of TruthPlaybill Arts Thu, 10 Apr 2008 10:59 PM PDTNearly three decades after the premiere of Satyagraha , Philip Glass's seminal work from 1979 is re-imagined in a powerful new staging that conveys the timelessness of Gandhi's message. Performances begin at the Met April 11.
Gandhi and Glass: truthful togetherThe Star-Ledger Thu, 10 Apr 2008 9:43 PM PDTOf Philip Glass' many, many, many pieces, his unlikeliest may also be his most moving. "Satyagraha," an opera about Mahatma Gandhi that opens at the Metropolitan Opera tonight, isn't in Italian, German, French or even English -- it's in Sanskrit.
HIS PEACE TREATISENew York Post Thu, 10 Apr 2008 10:28 PM PDTMOST composers are heard, not seen. Philip Glass is both. The master of repetitive musical form, whose "Satyagraha" opens at the Metropolitan Opera tonight, is himself a repetitive form - the Campbell's Soup can to Chuck Close's Andy Warhol. The...
Tan Dun's Musical MishmashThe New York Sun Thu, 10 Apr 2008 10:39 PM PDTThe New York Philharmonic's concert on Wednesday night featured the premiere of a new piano concerto by Tan Dun. He is a Chinese-American composer, highly successful. One plum commission after another has come his way. The Metropolitan Opera ordered up his "First Emperor." And the Philharmonic has paid for this concerto. Conducting the orchestra was Leonard Slatkin, long the music director of ...
A Peacemaker's PuppetsWNYC New York Public Radio Thu, 10 Apr 2008 2:02 PM PDTThis Friday, a new production of Philip Glass´s Satyagraha will debut at the Metropolitan Opera. It tells the story of Mahatma Gandhi´s experiences in South Africa, ones that helped define his ....
Children´s tale to be presented on opera stageThe State Thu, 10 Apr 2008 9:07 PM PDTEveryone remembers the story about the boy and the girl lost in the forest who come upon a gingerbread house and start nibbling. Then they almost become the main course on the resident witch´s menu. In 1893 composer Engelbert Humperdinck turned the story of "Hansel and Gretel" into an opera. The Metropolitan Opera broadcast its "Hansel and Gretel" into movie theaters recently, but you can see ...

Cast saves 'Candide'AM New York Thu, 10 Apr 2008 12:57 PM PDT2.5 Stars 1950s musical theater is alive and well and living in Manhattan. Right now, you can see "Gypsy" on Broadway, "South Pacific" at Lincoln Center, "Take Me Along" at the Irish Repertory Theatre, and now "Candide" at New York City Opera. And while NYCO's "Candide," first staged in 1982, is a problematic production, an exceptionally strong cast is bringing it to life like never before. ...
IT'S NICE, BUT NOT BEST OF ALL POSSIBLE WORLDSNew York Post Thu, 10 Apr 2008 1:39 AM PDTIT would be ironic if the most substantial contribution America made to 20th-century opera turned out to be a Broadway musical - Leonard Bernstein's "Candide."
