2009 Operatic Centerpiece
Antiochus und Stratonica
Music by Christoph Graupner (1683-1760)
Libretto by Barthold Feind (1678-1721)
Paul O'Dette and Stephen Stubbs, Musical Directors
When Antiochus meets the enchanting beauty Stratonica, he is instantly
captivated. But this is no ordinary love story: Stratonica has just married
Seleucus, King of Syria and Antiochus' father. How can the distraught
Antiochus win his true love's heart, yet remain faithful to his devoted
father?
Declared "the highlight of local opera presentations" by The Boston Herald,
the two-time Grammy-nominated Boston Early Music Festival brings the
exquisite world of Baroque opera back to Boston with its newest Baroque
opera masterpiece, Lovesick: Antiochus und Stratonica. Composed by Christoph
Graupner in the German opera capital of Hamburg, Lovesick is filled with
heart-wrenching drama, hilarious comic interludes, dazzling sets and
costumes, spirited dances, astonishing special effects, and stellar singing
and playing. Don't miss this once-in-a-lifetime theatrical experience!

The
classical music world has gone small as chamber groups lead the way while
symphony orchestras recoup financial losses. An unexpected result of the shift
from large to small is that chamber groups are popping up everywhere. Retirees
who haven't played in a while are getting their cellos and violins out of the
attic, whipping them into shape and joining friends for a jam session of Haydn
string quartets. Musically inclined nine-to-fivers hold down day jobs while
playing in quartets with co-workers or just people they meet on the street.
Small is in, and Madison is no exception.

While a handful of Don McLean scholars may still wonder what day the
music died, classical music fans carry the answer around like a
yellowed piece of sheet music.
The music died today. And it was always
better yesterday. Recent evidence of the end: The Columbus Symphony Orchestra is “at death’s door,” according to an op-ed in The Columbus Dispatch
(Ohio’s Greatest Online Newspaper). The Shreveport Symphony Orchestra
plans to move core players to a per-service pay model, leading a fan at
shreveporttimes.com to accuse the city of treating musicians as
“minimum wage servants” rather than as “professionals [who] will keep
this city alive long after the established oil and gas money has died
off.”

The stage was set, and each actor and actress was eager to begin.
After all, they had been working on their production for seven months.
On Friday, May 9, students from Hanstein Elementary School on
Detroit's far-east side were given the rare opportunity to showcase
their talents at the Detroit Opera House as they staged their first
opera, "The Ringer of the Moon."
The initiative began last
October when Hanstein principal Bernardine Carroll, a Detroit resident,
contacted the folks at InsideOut Literary Arts Project, (an
organization dedicated to placing professional writers in schools to
help students develop their self-expression), to garner support for
their student achievement program nicknamed the Write Stuff.
Carroll
said, "Our school received some funding from the Skillman Foundation,
and we decided to spend a portion of those funds to build the writing
skills of our students."
How did they accomplish this? In a very creative and ingenious way.
Dr.
Suzanne Scarfone, education director of the InsideOut Literary Arts
Project and writer-in-residence at Hanstein, collaborated with Karen
DiChiera, cofounder of the Michigan Opera Theatre, to bring the
students' imaginative literary works to life.
Fifty students from
Hanstein worked with Scarfone to create the Poetry Palace.
One Friday
each month, from October through March, the group gathered in their
virtual palace to participate in poetry writing sessions. During these
sessions, students were required to choose a medieval character, name
their character and write a poem as that character, based on the theme
"The Struggles of a ... " This became the foundation of the dialogue
for what eventually became their opera.
