[…] The entire entertainment industry is facing major challenges: a shortage of labour and equipment, not to mention the loss of revenue over the past two years. The industry knows that getting back to normal is going to take a long time.“The management chose to sell the building to better jump in the future. We had to rethink and reposition the company and develop new opportunities using our strengths, talents, skills, experiences and expertise”, explains Steve Marcoux, President of BAM.With this move, the BAM has to make some difficult choices, including putting on pause its rehearsal studios from July 15. However, BAM is moving to a location where there are many rehearsal studios. “Our choice is strategic, since we are getting closer to a larger pool of musicians and those who rehearse with us will find a new family. It's a win-win,” mentions Mr. Marcoux.“Bam Concerts wants to bring people together. […]

[…] first perfomance took place in 1914, conducted by Tullio Serafin. It was starred by Alessandro Bonci, Nazareno de Angelis and Linda Canetti. Two years later Ninon Vallin was in charge of the role of Marguerite, a role she sang again in 1921. The role of Faust was sang by great tenors such as Giovanni Martinelli (1921), Georges Thill (1929) and Mario Fillipeschi (1949). As for Mephistopheles, the list is no less spectacular: Marcel Journet (1916, 1918 and 1929), Vanni Marcoux (1919), Adam Didur (1921), Ezio Pinza (1927) and Nicola Rossi-Lemeni (1956), besides the aforementioned Boris Christoff. The 1971 season was the 12th season in which Gounod´s opera was included.

Yves Marcoux nous fait part de ses trois mélodies préférées. Partagez vos choix au www.nextgreatartsong.com! 1. Ave Maria – Franz Schubert Chaque fois que j'entends ce chant, les magnifiques images du film "Fantasia" me reviennent en mémoire . La fin de l'œuvre de Moussorgski, "La Nuit sur les Monts Chauves" se fond avec le début du chant de Schubert, quand les cloches annoncent la tombée de l'aube et que le démon Chernobog retourne au tombeau, tout en marquant le début de la messe.
