The Minnesanger of Seville
Seville bills itself as the “City of 150 operas,” and celebrated this fact at the Exposition of 1992 by erecting a magnificent new opera house, the Teatro de la Maestranza, right beside the Plaza de Toros. The seasons of the two theaters do not overlap. Next month, there will be a rare staging of an opera buffa by local boy Manuel Garcia, renowned for being the first to bring opera to New York, with his teenage daughter La Malibran. The 1800-seat house has state-of-the-art acoustics, a wide (and open) pit and presumably decent stage machinery, though nothing about Achim Thorwald´s current production of Tannhäuser, co-presented with the Teatr Wielki of Poznan, would have been difficult to produce in the opera houses of two hundred years ago: Pretty stage pictures, paper snow falling, erotic ballet in flesh-colored tights, zaftig singers with big voices. What’s the problem? Tannhäuser, the second of […]

A Tale of Two Cuban Universities: Part I
[…] Vieja (the Old Town) by Dominicans in the early 1700s and remained an important seat of learning (in Latin) through the early nineteenth century. Students attended Latin mass and could acquire skills as church musicians until the campus was secularized in the 1840s, by which time instruction had switched to Spanish. A long, dramatic escalinata (broad, marble steps in direct sunlight) leads up to the one side of the campus from the top of San Lázaro, and might remind Americans of hiking up the front of the Lincoln Memorial (but instead finding a large “Alma Mater” statue). The front surfaces of the buildings had recently been scrubbed clean, as per the Ministry of Culture’s wide-ranging project to renew and restore important historical buildings, but the back sides of many columns still showed signs of the increasing pollution from traffic (which has worsened somewhat since the early 1990s). This is a […]

Brazil’s Fat Lady Can’t Sing, But She Can Still Do the Bossa Nova (Part Two)
[…] of artists past and present will unearth an impressive lineup of the Spanish, or Latin American, breed of romantic tenor, to cite only one major example from among so many. Going back as far as the time of Gioachino Rossini, there were the Spaniards Manuel García, who sang in the 1816 premiere of the composer’s The Barber of Seville; the legendary Julián Gayarre from the late-nineteenth century; and the laudable Miguel Fleta and Hipólito Lázaro, both of who graced the world’s lyric stages during the roaring twenties. The late thirties, forties, and fifties gave us the thrilling Otellos of Chileans Renato Zanelli and Ramón Vinay, and the powerful Samson of José Soler from Cataluña. In the sixties, the Count Almaviva of Peruvian-born Luigi Alva warmed the cockles of our hearts, as did the Duke of Mantua of Alfredo Kraus (Canary Islands) and the Alfredo Germont of Giacomo Aragall […]
