The story of a beguiling gypsy who sets her sights on a naïve but passionate young corporal, Carmen traces a tale of seduction, obsession, and deadly betrayal.

Based on Shakespeare’s famed work and widely considered to be Verdi’s greatest opera, Otello tells the story of a slave who overcomes great obstacles to become a noble general, but is then driven to unspeakable jealousy by a scheming, envious officer in his army. Passion, political intrigue and a fatal flaw are at the center of this intense musical drama that stands at the pinnacle of grand opera experiences.<br />Several powerhouse company debuts are in store. Tenor Clifton Forbis, one of today’s foremost dramatic tenors, in demand from La Scala to the Metropolitan Opera, shares the title role with tenor Arnold Rawls, a frequent guest artist at Lyric Opera of Chicago. Star baritone Mark Delavan, known internationally for his command of Wagner and Verdi, is Otello’s foil, Iago. French soprano Norah Amsellem, with recent leading diva credits at Royal Opera Covent Garden and the Met, makes her role debut as Desdemona in this stunning, classic production.<br />Estimated Running Time: Approximately 3 hours<br />Tickets: 215-732-8400<div><a href="http://www.operaphila.org/">www.operaphila.org</a></div><div><a href="http://www.operaphila.org/"></a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">THE PEACEABLE KINGDOM</span><br />Philadelphia Singers Chamber Ensemble<br />Sunday, October 17, 2010 at 4:00pm<br />Church of the Holy Trinity, 19th &amp; Rittenhouse Square, Philadelphia<br />How are you inspired by art and literature?

This universal story has been adapted in countless plays and films, in popular culture and in dance, but perhaps no medium better expresses the love, longing and ultimate tragedy of this fated pair than Gounod’s sweeping and supreme opera.

Enter Floria Tosca, a diva with flashing eyes and a jealous heart who loves only one man – Mario Cavaradossi. When he is taken as a political prisoner, his captor, Baron Scarpia, has met his match in Cavaradossi’s faithful Tosca.

Beautiful Romanian soprano Adina Nitescu sings the title role after making a name as a Puccini leading lady at Paris National Opera, and sizzling Brazilian-Italian tenor Thiago Arancam is her Cavaradossi.

But while Beethoven's final work in the genre bears an outwardly "symphonic" structure--four movements and a big finale--Stravinsky's from 1930 feels more oratorio-like. "It is not a symphony in which I have included Psalms to be sung," Stravinsky said. "On the contrary, it is the singing of the Psalms that I am symphonizing." In any event Stravinsky's finale, "Alleluia-Laudate Dominum" delves the same celebratory spirit that made Beethoven's "Ode to Joy" an unprecedented expression of ecstasy in 1824. Maestro Dutoit is joined in this ingenious pairing by renowned soloists and the Philadelphia Singers Chorale.<br />Tickets: 215-893-1999</div><div><a href="http://www.philorch.org/">www.philorch.org</a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">BERLIOZ DAMNATION OF FAUST</span><br />The Philadelphia Orchestra<br />Friday, May 27, 2011 8:00 PM<br />Saturday, May 28, 2011 8:00 PM<br />Verizon Hall<br />Charles Dutoit - Conductor<br />Paul Groves - Tenor<br />Susan Graham - Mezzo-soprano<br />David Wilson-Johnson - Baritone<br />The Philadelphia Singers Chorale<br />At once operatic, oratorio-like, even cinematic, The Damnation of Faust is perhaps Berlioz's masterpiece, a légende dramatique (in his words) that he spent the better part of his life creating. Maestro Charles Dutoit, a peerless exponent of the works of Berlioz, has led performances of the composer's Goethe-inspired Faust worldwide that are the stuff of legend. He concludes his third season as chief conductor of The Philadelphia Orchestra with concert performances of the piece, part of his continuing cycle of Berlioz's major work with the ensemble. He is joined by a star cast, including Susan Graham as Marguerite--whose mezzo the New Yorker described as "a voice without regrets, healthy, rounded, ineffably musical." Versatile American tenor and Richard Tucker Award-winner Paul Groves sings the title role of the aging scholar on a quest for meaning. David Wilson-Johnson is Mephistopheles, the dark, devilish figure who is more than happy to guide the hapless hero into the fires of hell.<br />Tickets: 215-893-1999</div><div><a href="http://www.philorch.org/">www.philorch.org</a></div></div></div></div></div><div><br /></div><div><span style="font-weight: bold; ">WANAMAKER ORGAN DAY</span><br />Friends of the Wanamaker Organ Festival Chorus</div><div>Saturday, June 25, 2011 5:00 PM<br />The Friends are planning their usual, major, day long and mainly free celebration spotlighting assistants to Peter Richard Conte at 10am, live broadcast/performance at 11:30am on an expanded WRTI Jill Pasternak "Crossover" broadcast featuring Peter Richard Conte and Peter Krasinski , a $10 admission silent movie at 2pm in Greek Hall with Peter Krasinski at our Mighty Wurlitzer, and the Grand Concert at 5, featuring Peter Richard Conte, Rudy Lucente, Philadelphia Brass and the Friends of the Wanamaker Organ Festival Chorus.</div><div><a href="http://www.wanamakerorgan.com/events.php#special">http://www.wanamakerorgan.com/events.php#special</a></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2041053400024463137-1282615322589690753?l=apatheticalto.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>ApatheticAltohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15117771252451992436noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2041053400024463137.post-57428117406821983402009-09-21T13:38:00.002-04:002010-04-14T14:32:11.206-04:00<span style="font-weight: bold;">Schedule of Performances featuring Ellen Peters (well, not exactly featuring)</span><br />Details below list<br /><br />10/9/09 Fri - <span style="font-weight: bold;">Madama Butterfly</span> - Opera Co of Philly<br />10/11/09 Sun - <span style="font-weight: bold;">Madama Butterfly</span> - Opera Co of Philly<br />10/14/09 Wed - <span style="font-weight: bold;">Madama Butterfly</span> - Opera Co of Philly<br />10/16/09 Fri - <span style="font-weight: bold;">Madama Butterfly</span> - Opera Co of Philly<br />10/18/09 Sun - <span style="font-weight: bold;">Madama Butterfly</span> - Opera Co of Philly<br />11/8/09 Sun - <span style="font-weight: bold;">Bach &amp; Beyond</span> - Philly Singers<br />12/13/09 Sun - <span style="font-weight: bold;">Messiah </span>- Philly Orchestra &amp; Philly Singers Chorale<br />12/12/09 Sat - <span style="font-weight: bold;">Xmas on Logan Square</span> - Philly Singers<br />12/19/09 Sat - <span style="font-weight: bold;">Xmas on Logan Square</span> - Philly Singers<br />2/4/10 Thu - <span style="font-weight: bold;">Midsummer Night's Dream</span> - Philly Orch &amp; Philly Singers Chorale<br />2/5/10 Fri - <span style="font-weight: bold;">Midsummer Night's Dream</span> - Philly Orch &amp; Philly Singers Chorale<br />2/6/10 Sat - <span style="font-weight: bold;">Midsummer Night's Dream</span> - Philly Orch &amp; Philly Singers Chorale<br />3/6/10 Sat - <span style="font-weight: bold;">Glass, Reich, Bryars</span> - Relâche, Orch 2001 &amp; Philly Singers<br />5/7/10 Fri - <span style="font-weight: bold;">La Traviata</span> - Opera Co of Philly<br />5/9/10 Sun - <span style="font-weight: bold;">La Traviata</span> - Opera Co of Philly<br />5/12/10 Wed - <span style="font-weight: bold;">La Traviata</span> - Opera Co of Philly<br />5/14/10 Fri - <span style="font-weight: bold;">La Traviata</span> - Opera Co of Philly<br />5/16/10 Sun - <span style="font-weight: bold;">La Traviata</span> - Opera Co of Philly<br />6/17/10 Thu - <span style="font-weight: bold;">Orphée &amp; Eurydice</span> - Opera Co of Philly<br />6/19/10 Sat - <span style="font-weight: bold;">Orphée &amp; Eurydice</span> - Opera Co of Philly<br />6/22/10 Tue - <span style="font-weight: bold;">Orphée &amp; Eurydice</span> - Opera Co of Philly<br />6/23/10 Wed - <span style="font-weight: bold;">Orphée &amp; Eurydice</span> - Opera Co of Philly<br />6/25/10 Fri - <span style="font-weight: bold;">Orphée &amp; Eurydice</span> - Opera Co of Philly<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Madama Butterfly by Giacomo Puccini<br />Opera Company of Philadelphia<br />Academy of Music</span><br />Friday, October 9, 2009 at 8:00 p.m<br />Sunday, October 11, 2009 at 2:30 p.m<br />Wednesday, October 14, 2009 at 7:30 p.m.<br />Friday, October 16, 2009 at 8:00 p.m<br />Sunday, October 18, 2009 at 2:30 p.m.<br />Sung in Italian with English translations</span><br />The beautiful, young geisha Cio-Cio San has renounced her family and surrendered all of her love and faith to her new American husband, Lieutenant Pinkerton.
