The Middle Years Vale Rideout is nothing if not a distinctive name - it sounds almost like it might be a character on The Men from Shiloh or Lancer, or one of those other Westerns that used to be prime-time TV staples. As it turns out, Vale Rideout is no cowboy hero at all but a lyric tenor who has distinguished himself with a string of well-received performances at many of the U.S.'s thriving regional companies, including Tulsa Opera (Tamino), Boston Baroque (Ferrando in Così Fan Tutte), Lake George Opera (George in Rorem's Our Town) and Minnesota Opera (Atis in Keiser's The Fortunes of King Croesus). — Read more at Opera News mehr... |

From Handel, Faithlessness and Devotion The countertenor David Daniels reportedly had a little trouble adjusting to the high altitude of the Santa Fe Opera. It's understandable that some singers, however fit, might find oxygen a bit wanting at the company?s open-air theater in the mountains, just north of the city at 7,500 feet. But Mr. Daniels seems to have adjusted just fine, because on Friday night, in the title role of Handel's "Radamisto," the Santa Fe Opera's first presentation of the work and Mr. Daniels's company debut, he sang magnificently. All six cast members are exceptionally fine Handelians. — Read more at NYTimes.com mehr... |

'Das Rheingold' goes Hollywood In San Francisco Opera's re-imagined "Das Rheingold," Richard Wagner goes to Hollywood. Purists who refuse to utter the names "Wagner" and "Lucas" in the same breath might not like that. But this production of "Rheingold" - the first opera in Wagner's epic, four-part "Ring" cycle - is smartly spectacular. — Read more at San Jose Mercury News mehr... |

East Village Opera Company blends 18th-century opera arias with rock music If you think blending 18th-century opera arias with rock music is a sketchy proposition, you're not the only one. "It sounds like a terrible idea," said Tyley Ross, co-founder of East Village Opera Company. "I thought it was a terrible idea." But he and keyboardist Peter Kiesewalter kept with it, found success and are bringing their unique mash-up to Logan's Cache Valley Center tonight and Sept. 23. — Read more at Salt Lake Tribune mehr... |

The Met Arrives in Prospect Park Even though Senator Schumer, introducing the festivities in Prospect Park on Friday, stated that the summer solstice was the "longest night of the year" ? it is, of course, just the opposite ? the time seemed to fly by as the Metropolitan Opera presented soprano Angela Gheorghiu and tenor Roberto Alagna singing a program of highlights and arias. This was typical summer fare: Everything was fine, nothing was great. — Read more at The New York Sun mehr... |

First-ever 'public viewing' in Bayreuth draws thousands The public viewing area for the prestigious Bayreuth Festival, a sort of Richard Wagner "fan mile" similar to those seen at major football championships, was a runaway success, attracting crowds of up to 38,000 on Sunday night, organisers said. The idea was originally dismissed by critics, who predicted that the first-ever live transmission of a performance from Bayreuth's legendary "Festspielhaus" theatre to a gigantic outdoor screen would not interest anyone. — Read more at AFP mehr... |

The Seduction Catalog: A Bad Boy on the Prowl Marthe Keller's production of Mozart's "Don Giovanni" at the Metropolitan Opera opened in March 2004, several months before Peter Gelb was named the company's next general manager, and it was revived a year later, many months before he actually took control. But in its current revival, which opened on Saturday afternoon, this production stands as a plausible representative of the Gelb aesthetic that elevates theater to a near par with music. — Read more at NYTimes.com mehr... |

London opera house sparks debate with tabloid 'stunt' London's Royal Opera House triggered an energetic debate about "culture for the masses" Wednesday after limiting tickets for a prestigious premiere to readers of a tabloid newspaper.

Villazon, Hytner Pair in `Don Carlo' at Royal Opera Tickets were changing hands for 900 pounds ($1,777) on the Internet. The Royal Opera foyers crackled with anticipation. Nicholas Hytner's new production of "Don Carlo" was clearly going to be the highlight of the London music season. Partly this was because star tenor Rolando Villazon (Don Carlo) was returning to the house after a break in his career due to exhaustion. Partly it was because Verdi's spectacular opera demands huge stage resources, and it had been 50 years since Covent Garden had created a new production of the five-act version. — Read more at Bloomberg.com mehr... |

Night of passions There were many heroes and heroines in Tanglewood's concert performance of Tchaikovsky's "Eugene Onegin" Saturday night. Not least of them was the student Tanglewood Music Center Orchestra, which played with passion and beauty in an opera of surpassing passion and beauty. But the biggest hero had to be conductor Andrew Davis. He not only substituted for James Levine but also fitted the rehearsal and performance schedule around a Beethoven concert he was previously committed to conduct Wednesday night at Chicago's Ravinia Festival. — Read more at Berkshire Eagle Online mehr... |

Head of Netherlands Opera went from outsider to impresario In 1988, the Netherlands Opera appointed as its new head a 30-year-old Lebanese-born theater director with no background or experience in traditional opera. His passions were avant-garde music, theater, and visual art. The opera world was aghast. One prominent New York opera administrator I spoke with at the time said that Pierre Audi would be lucky to last three years and that the Netherlands Opera would be lucky to survive him. Not that anyone outside Holland was likely to notice or care, so provincial was the company. — Read more at The Boston Globe mehr... |

Glyndebourne: Opera house wins its battle for wind power A battle was won at Glyndebourne yesterday, and not one involving Tatiana's tortured emotions as she rejects Eugene Onegin in Tchaikovsky's 1879 opera, which was performed there last night. This was a very modern battle, and it involved a wind turbine. The communities and local government secretary, Hazel Blears, yesterday ruled in favour of the Sussex opera house in its long battle to put up a 70-metre-high turbine on the South Downs. The £750,000 turbine, it says, will supply the opera house with clean renewable energy and reduce its carbon emissions by 70%. — Read more at The Guardian mehr... |

Mercury Opera Rochester transplants 'La Boheme' to the '20s Love-struck artists from 1830s Paris will flash forward to the Roaring '20s in next weekend's production of Puccini's La Boheme.

As the world's art capital, it also lured thousands of talents with bigger dreams than reputations. These might have included La Boheme's Rodolfo and Marcello ? the penniless poet and painter who starve and find romance in a freezing Paris garret. — Read more at Democrat and Chronicle mehr... |

She immediately landed a recording contract with Decca.

An exercise in music history letting us examine an 1863 work written when the French composer was just 24, 12 years before he capped his brief life with "Carmen"?

Billy Budd the Jock, Beautiful and Agile Many opera lovers have mixed feelings about the increasing attention paid to the appearance and acting ability of singers. Naturally, it enriches the dramatic impact of an opera to have singers who are involving actors and look like the roles they portray. Still, singing comes first in opera. Acting with the voice is an honored art. In casting the title role of Britten's "Billy Budd," however, a company is in a bind. Just as in the Herman Melville novella on which the opera is based, Britten's Billy must be beautiful. When we meet Billy, an illiterate foundling who does not know his age, he has been taken from a British merchant ship and pressed into service aboard the HMS Indomitable in 1797, in the midst of the Napoleonic wars. Throughout this all-male opera, Billy's shipmates and even the officers refer to him continually as "Beauty," "Baby" and the like. — Read more at NYTimes.com mehr... |
