Salieri Joseph Shore Shore Motyka Curry Zakariasen Bruce Yarnell Nicolai Rimsky Korsakov Schulman Leighton Chamber Opera Theater New York 1981 1982
Joseph Shore is Salieri, Ron Gentry is Mozart; Tad Motyka was the stage director and Henry Molicone conducted for THE CHAMBER OPERA THEATRE OF NEW YORK. "Chamber Opera Theatre's performance and production were thoroughly admirable, including the staging by Thaddeus Motyka. Both operas (sung clearly in good English translations) were cast with splendid singing actors, including Ron Gentry as a Mozart not far removed from Tim Curry and Joseph Shore as a Salieri on an Ian McKellen level. Indeed when Shore broke down while reading the opening of Mozart's Requiem after giving his rival poison, it was a moving moment of truth comparable to anything in AMADEUS." Bill Zakariasen, NEW YORK DAILY NEWS “Baritone Joseph Shore was superb as Salieri, his voice full and flexible, his acting on a level rarely seen on the operatic stage." Peter Goodman, NEWSDAY “MOZART AMD SALIERI is almost a monologue for Salieri and it was handled beautifully here, both musically and dramatically, by Joseph Shore, the 1981 winner of the Bruce Yarnell Memorial Award for Baritones." Glenne Currie,UNITED PRESS INTERNATIONAL "Joseph Shore...gave a fully engrossing, richly characterful portrayal, breaking into very convincing desolation at the climactic moment when Mozart's Requiem wells up from the orchestra." Jack Heimenz, MUSICAL AMERICA "The one-act, two role opera is Rimsky-Korsakov's setting of Pushkin's dramatic poem in which Salieri, not Mozart, is the leading figure, a role both commandingly and sensitively dominated at the opening performance last night by baritone Joseph Shore." Dave Spangler, THE BERGEN RECORD "The dominant role is that of Salieri, with Joseph Shore giving a really awesome portrayal of the court musician who can never fathom or hope to gain one spark of Mozart's genius. Jennie Schulman, BACKSTAGE "Joseph Shore excels in his role of Salieri. He is as fine an actor as he is a singer, and both talents combine in an altogether convincing and moving performance...one would want to attend the production as much for the theatrical value of their performance as for any other reason." Louis Morra, WKCR RADIO “Joseph Shore's Salieri provided the evening’s finest singing and one hopes to hear much more of him in the future." Byron Belt, NEWHOUSE NEWSPAPERS “The only voice I can single out for distinction is the sonorous baritone of Joseph Shore." Noah Tree, AFTER DARK "...an uncluttered, serious and moving account of Rimsky-Korsakov's one act MOZART AND SALIERI... Baritone Joseph Shore sang and acted a powerfully tragic Salieri." Leighton Kerner, THE VILLAGE VOICE "The singers in Mozart and Salieri were Ron Gentry, as the young genius, and Joseph Shore, as his jealous rival. They fulfilled their assignments so expertly that one flinched inwardly at the implication that Salieri murdered Mozart....." Allen Hughes, THE NEW YORK TIMES "Mozart and Salieri was so highly acclaimed when Chamber Opera performed it last season, that they decided to bring it back with the original principals, Joseph Shore as Salieri and Ron Gentry as Mozart. Both were perfectly cast to the extent where you feel no one will ever be equal to their flawless characterizations. Shore, in particular, possesses a dramatic baritone voice of limitless range. In contrast, Gentry displays a clear, crisp tenor which suits ideally. Both gentlemen conveyed convincing historical portraits of the rival Maestri/Composers." Jennie Schulman, BACKSTAGE ".... a very satisfying work .... Good acting blended well with good singing; the characters came alive. It was a wonderful production." FESTA, The First Guide to the Performing Arts in the U.S.A. ".... Chamber Opera Theater of New York ... focuses on rarely done works. All of its productions are meticulously rehearsed and minutely detailed. They have to be: in this intimate setting, everything appears close up ... the strong baritone voice of Joseph Shore (Salieri) and the silvery tenor of Ron Gentry (Mozart) complemented each other nicely ,.. The success of such groups is heartening...." Annalyn Swan, NEWSWEEK "Chamber Opera Theater of New York revived its hit production of Nicolai Rimsky-Korsakov's Mozart and Salieri at the Marymount Manhattan Theater Wednesday night ... Mozart and Salieri’s expert production and performance (once again starring Ron Gentry and Joseph Shore in the leads) were fully up to last season's high musical and dramatic standards." Bill Zakariasen, NEW YORK DAILY NEWS Joseph Shore presents Salieri as a sort of Everyman turned bad, capable of arousing sympathy and self-recognition from the audience. He also sings the part beautifully, which doesn't hurt. THE FORT WORTH STAR TELEGRAM

Only five years after receiving his Air Force wings on active duty in Vietnam and winning the Air Force Talent Contest, David Montefiore breaks the sound barrier by making his Carnegie Recital Hall Debut! Determined to pick up where he left off he begins on a path to victory by winning competition after competition: The Leiderkrans Foundation Scholarship which enabled the young David Montefiore to work with Felix Popper and Thomas Martin at New York City Opera - a Metropolitan Opera Auditions Finalist, a Full Scholarship to study at Hebrew Union College of Sacred Music, the Charles Mackenzie-Hill Study Grant of Oxford, England and finally a vocal scholarship to study with Madame Olga Ryss of the Julliard School of Music. ‘Che gelida manina’ from Giacomo Puccini's opera La Boheme (a role he was in love with) proved to be his 'prizesong'. It was with this aria that David entered the professional world of the singer by competing with hundreds of singers that come to New York City each year with the hope of winning a debut recital with the R. Wellington Jones Concerts at Carnegie Recital Hall. He won and so began his life of music and beauty - a life of renown - a life of respect by both teacher and maestro – by both critic and friend alike. Robert Sherman of the New York Times wrote of his first public performance at Carnegie Recital Hall: “David Montefiore is a likeable young man with all the right musical instincts.” - Robert Sherman, The New York Times “David Montefiore’s Phillipe was delivered with gusto and fine ringing tone.” - Decker, Sun-Sentinal “Here is a natural Mozart tenor.” - Donal Hodson, Daily American/Rome “Outstanding individual performances by the singers were David Montefiore, who possesses a ringing tenor voice and Italian ‘bravura on stage.” - Nash, International Courier/Rome “The very large cast is unusually strong, beginning with tenor David Montefiore as a rugged, sturdy-sounding Captain Macheath.” - Zakariasen, New York Daily News “She has a strong support from David Montefiore, whose strong tenor has clarity and fervor.” - Schumach, The New York Times “Montefiore’s fine tenor carries off the love songs and laments with persuasive authority.” - Nelson, New York Daily News “David Montefiore projects a splendid operatic tenor.” - Madd, VARIETY “David Montefiore sings beautifully.” - Solomon, The Village Voice “It was for me a pleasant surprise to notice and work with the tenor, David Montefiore, a sympathetic artist with a beautiful voice and interesting musicality.” - Maestro Manfredi Argento, La Scala “Montefiore has a beautiful tenor voice” - Sanders, The Miami Herald “It was a pleasure to make music with him” - Maestro Urs Schneider, Haifa Symphony (La Traviata) “The burning voice...simply a voice more celestial than human combines with the notes of an organ that projects its light - inundating a great empty space with melodies of reflection...this is the voice of David Montefiore.” - Gabriel Senanes, CLARIN Buenos Aires (http•••)
