After a relatively quiet season thus far, the National Symphony Orchestra pulled out the aural pyrotechnics Thursday evening with a brilliantly realized concert version of Richard Strauss' one-act opera "Salome." Headlined by a stellar cast including standout Met soprano Deborah Voigt in the title role and distinguished baritone Alan Held as Jokanaan (John the Baptist), this concert is 2007's first can't-miss event. Salome," a roughly 90-minute work performed without intermission, is Strauss' operatic realization of Oscar Wilde's eponymous play. Originally penned in French and later published in an English version adorned with Aubrey Beardsley's famous drawings, Wilde's drama is a scandalous interpretation of a story from the gospel of Mark. The short biblical tale relates how Herodias...

[...] St. Peter is himself not exactly all-American, happily declaring that he is "of mixed stock (Canadian French on one side, and American farmers on the other)" (4).2 Michaels bypasses this problem in two ways: first by reading St. Peter's familial situation through that of Tom (who has no family); second by reading the family in The Professor's House according to the logic of 1920s nativism, in which one's ancestors cannot actually be members of one's family, and the reason for this is that, although it is the family that provides the indispensable model for [nativism's] new conception of American identity . . . the inability to maintain the purity to which theorists of racial integrity were committed is at the same time the very essence of family life. The Professor's House is in ...

In 1895, when influential art critic Julius Meier-Graefe (1867- 1935) founded the Berlin-based art periodical PAN, along with his writer friends Otto Julius Bierbaum (1865-1910) and the poet Richard Dehmel (1863-1920), Meier-Graefe never dreamed he would be dismissed by the magazine's wealthy backers after the its third issue. Meier-Graefe envisioned an all-encompassing, Pan-European representation of the Art Nouveau movement through art and literature of the times. But the wealthy Germans who funded it wanted the magazine to represent the German Jugendstil, not the international artistic milieu of the times that became characterized as Art Nouveau.

- Coloratura My World; Daring Revivals Highlight the Summer Season at Cooperstown's Glimmerglass Opera
Any opera company with a sufficient endowment can attract top voices. The talent surplus being so great, we can now expect brilliance even from the far corner of the chorus. What sets Cooperstown's Glimmerglass Opera from the pack is the staging. That's why Glimmerglass is the only upstate company that usually attracts audiences from around the country, with many from Europe. It's wonderful to see that musical theater known mostly from CDs can actually come alive on stage. Finding a solution to these problems allows former Syracuse Stage artistic director Tazewell Thompson to demonstrate why he is fast becoming one of Glimmerglass' favorite directors. (He's already slated to helm Benjamin Britten's Death in Venice in summer 2005.) With set designer Donald Eastman, the 20 weeping maidens...

Bard buffs will remind you that in the uncut, nearly four-hour version, Hamlet's full dialogue is longer than all the dialogue in some of the shorter plays, like Macbeth or Julius Caesar. Quite apart from the emotional and intellectual complexity, it's arguably the biggest role any theatergoer ever sees. From the moment of his first entrance, Mark Allen Holt convinces us he's' been thinking about taking on Hamlet for a long time. In every role, he comes across as self-assured and voluble, whether it be the musical 1776 for Appleseed Productions last summer or Tom Stoppard's take on [William Shakespeare], Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, performed in June 2003 at the former Happy Endings. Under Tony Brown's direction, the pace never flags. There are also liabilities to such an appr...

Unless this perception can be changed, no appeal to a change in cultural values will help labor to regain respect and effectiveness in the community. In the building trades, membership passes from generation to generation and is largely confined to defined ethnic groups. On the issue of union construction costs: most studies indicate that the quality and productivity of union work more than offset higher union wages, which is why construction unions place so much emphasis on training. Yes, the theme of the movie may be universalized, as Alleva does, to suggest "the tragedy of emotional apartheid [which] none of us, no matter what our sexual orientation, is ever safe from," but at its literal level the film is about two men whose fundamental sense of self is constituted by their affec...
