Exotic locales have fired the imaginations of many artists, even when they end up finding something as universal as a love triangle. Georges Bizet was a struggling 24-year-old composer in Paris, when he wrote his opera "The Pearl Fishers," set in Ceylon, now Sri Lanka. He would attain operatic immortality a dozen years later with "Carmen.

Vermont authences can experience the new Ring in real time through the Met's popular "Live in HD" broadcasts at several area theaters. Of this season's 12 broadcasts, the first is Das Rheingold, and the last is Ring opera number two, Die Walküre. (The final two operas are scheduled for the 2011-12 season.) You don't need to talk people through Carmen," [Anderson] says, referring to the perennially popular opera by Georges Bizet. "But I think we all agree that the Ring cycle is" - and here he begins to chuckle - "this nearly insurmountable mountain, and we could all use some help. Shedd, 63, is accustomed to giving that help: He taught fifth graders the Ring every year of his 33-year career in New York State's public schools. More recently he gave a version of his talk, entitled "Das R...
Curiosity is the starting point in exploring neglected works by composers who have created supreme masterpieces, such as "Carmen" by Georges Bizet. Pittsburgh Opera`s revival of Bizet`s "The Pearl Fishers," which opened Saturday night, showed the earlier opera has much more to offer than one hit duet but did not hit its weaknesses. Bizet was just 24 when he wrote "The Pearl Fishers." Five years earlier he had written a masterly symphony, but in writing this opera he labored with a poor libretto.

The socials welcomed the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra back for their 2011-2012 season at Heinz Hall on Saturday with the sold-out Musique du Monde Gala and Soiree that began with cocktails outside on the Garden Plaza, ended with a standing "O" that seemed to last nearly as long as the performance, and was cherry-on-topped by raising a record-breaking $770K for the PSO. Frankly, there's just no other way to describe the opener to the new season under the baton of maestro Manfred Honeck than "they brought down the house." Grammy award-winning violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter breezed on stage as if a breath of fresh air, hypnotizing the audience with spine-tingling precision that played their senses like ... ahem, a violin. A performance of Felix Mendelssohn's enchanting "Violin Concerto," tw...
CARMEN," UTAH OPERA, Capitol Theatre, Jan. 16, additional performances Jan. 18, 20, 22 and 24 (801-355-2787) Georges Bizet's "Carmen" is a surefire way for any opera company to pack the theater, and that was certainly the case Saturday for Utah Opera's opening-night performance of this venerable and much adored opera.
Productions of Virgil Thomson's "Four Saints in Three Acts" (1934), George Gershwin's "Porgy and Bess" (1935) and the 1943 Oscar Hammerstein II Broadway adaptation of Georges Bizet's "Carmen" under the title of "Carmen Jones," had more than proved that Black singing actors (both male and female) could more than meet the exacting demands of professional opera companies. Critics lavished praise on the high level of performances in all the aforementioned productions. Yet, Black male opera singers are highly visible in New York this summer. Eric Owens has already appeared in the title role in the monster opera "Grendel" at the New York State Theater. Norman Shankle, Russell Thomas, Alfred Walker and Terry Cook have sung in Mozart's "Zaide." This year's Met in the Park series will feature Do...
Carmen is irresistible but can be difficult. A successful performance of Georges Bizet's ultra-popular opera "Carmen" about the free-spirited gypsy woman can enchant from start to finish with a naturalness that makes time fly. Pittsburgh Opera's new production certainly has its high points, but its many problematic aspects made the three-hour opera a long night on Saturday at the Benedum Center, Downtown.
The season returns to the Hazlett with "Will Power: Poet to Playwright," the pioneer of Hip Hop Theater and an award-winning actor, rapper and playwright who will present an intimate autobiographical performance, using words and rhythms from his career followed by vignettes (with DJ Reborn) from his explosive one-man show "Flow." A question and answer session follows. "Poet to Playwright" will be an engaging evening of performance, ideas with this established and growing young cultural force. On Nov. 17-18, AWC combines resources with the with Opera Theater of Pittsburgh to present the local premiere of "Carmen Jones," Oscar Hammerstein's reworking of Georges Bizet's beloved masterpiece, "Carmen," the story of a fiery seductress who starts out unapologetically immoral and is turned by s...
