O ORFEO DE STEPHANIE BLYTHE

The Heart of Opera: More Than a Pretty Voice or Face
By ANTHONY TOMMASINI
Stephanie Blythe’s performance as Orfeo in the Met’s production demonstrates a timeless dramatic truth: that conviction is everything in acting, and not just operatic acting.

COMUNICADO DA OSESP


Prezado Assinante


É com prazer que anunciamos que Yan Pascal Tortelier é o novo regente principal da OSESP para as temporadas 2009 e 2010. O maestro francês, de 61 anos, é regente emérito da Filarmônica da BBC, da qual foi regente titular entre 1992 e 2003, e acaba de concluir um período de três anos como principal regente da Orquestra Sinfônica de Pittsburgh, nos Estados Unidos.

O Conselho de Administração da Fundação OSESP concluiu ainda as negociações para contar com a consultoria de dois profissionais internacionais para a tomada de decisões no campo da direção artística. Timothy Walker, diretor-executivo e artístico da Filarmônica de Londres, e Henry Fogel, ex-presidente da Liga Americana de Orquestras e ex-diretor-executivo da Orquestra Nacional de Washington (no período Rostropovich) e da Sinfônica de Chicago (nos períodos Georg Solti e Daniel Barenboim). Ambos darão consultoria contínua à Fundação OSESP, participando da elaboração da temporada do ano que vem e integrando o Comitê de Busca para a identificação de um diretor artístico, com contratação prevista para 2011.

Essas contratações fazem parte de um processo de reorganização da OSESP iniciado no ano passado. O Conselho de Administração está trabalhando no aprimoramento da estrutura de direção e planejamento artístico, buscando uma maior oxigenação da orquestra e um fortalecimento das instituições que a mantém. O novo processo deverá ser menos personalizado, seguindo tendência mundial.

Tortelier conduzirá oito programas à frente da OSESP este ano e 12 programas em 2010. Eventuais mudanças na programação, assim como novas decisões a respeito da nova estrutura de governança, serão informadas assim que as definições ocorrerem.

A OSESP continua comprometida com a qualidade e a ambição musical a que você está acostumado. E acredita que este é um importante passo para o seu aperfeiçoamento e amadurecimento.

A escolha foi boa, Tortolier esteve ano passado com a Osesp e agradou de forma geral.
A forma pela qual se procedeu à demissão pode não ter sido a ideal, porém, uma renovação é bem vinda. Não se negam os méritos aos quais o maestro tem direito. A Osesp é cria dele e foi projeto louvável.
Não acredito que haja riscos para a sobrevivência da orquestra.

NESCHLING É DEMITIDO DA OSESP


MÔNICA BERGAMO
Colunista da Folha de S.Paulo
O maestro John Neschling foi demitido hoje da Osesp, a Or­questra Sinfônica do Estado de São Paulo.

John Neschling

No ano passado, de­pois de intensa pressão do gover­nador José Serra, que queria tirá-lo do cargo, Neschling comunicou ao conselho da Fundação Osesp que não renovaria seu con­trato. Na ocasião, no entanto, fi­cou combinado que o maestro permaneceria à frente da Osesp até o fim de 2010, como previa seu contrato.
A situação, no entanto, ficou insustentável. Neschling, que chegou a chamar Serra de "meni­no mimado" e "autoritário" logo no começo do governo, conti­nuou a dar entrevistas espina­frando com o governador e com o secretário da Cultura, João Sayad, mesmo depois de ter sua saída definida. A gota d'água foram as críticas que ele vinha fazendo publicamente à decisão do conselho de formar um comitê para a escolha de seu sucessor.

O ADEUS A AGNES AYRES (1925-2008)






Meu contato com a arte de Agnes Ayres se deu no final dos anos 1960, quando a vi cantando no Teatro Municipal de São Paulo, era o momento final de sua carreira. Muitos anos depois, por força de minha iniciativa em resgatar a memória de Constantina Araujo (1922-1966), sua contemporânea na antiga Rádio Gazeta e no referido Teatro, fui procurá-la em seu apartamento, no Edifício Copan, a fim de colher elementos para inserir uma página na web com dados sobre sua carreira. Acolheu-me gentilmente e passamos bons momentos conversando sobre seu passado musical. Mostrou-me uma fita cassete com a uma gravação de sua apresentação num Rigoletto, na Itália, a qual transcrevi para cd e lhe presenteei.


Ausente de São Paulo por mais de um mês devido a doença em família, somente hoje pelas páginas da Revista Concerto, edição de Janeiro/Fevereiro, tomei conhecimento de seu falecimento no início de dezembro passado.

Infelizmente, é mais um grande nome do passado operístico de São Paulo que nos deixa sem que a devida homenagem e reconhecimento lhe tenham lhe tenham sido prestadas.

Não há muito tempo, comentava com um amigo a respeito da falta de memória que grassa em nosssos teatros e, na ocasião, citei o nome de Agnes Ayres que merecia um concerto em sua homenagem no Teatro Municipal de São Paulo.
Ela partiu sem que a homenagem houvesse sido prestada.
Adeus Agnes, seu lindo "Caro Nome" está encantando outras esferas.

When this Samuel Barber opera inaugurated the new Metropolitan Opera House in 1966, it entered theatrical lore as one of the great operatic disasters of all time.

The Myrtle Beach Sun News Sat, 10 Jan 2009 10:15 AM PST
There are certain nights in operatic history that enter the ranks of legend - and that far more people later claim to have attended than is mathematically possible: Joan Sutherland's first "Lucia" at Covent Garden in 1959; Leontyne Price's farewell "Aida" at the Metropolitan Opera in 1985. It's not a stretch to imagine that years from now something of the same status may be accorded to Friday ...

For a decade the director has complained that no one wanted him in London. Now Jonathan Miller is back at ENO — with a radical new production of La Bohème inspired by Brassaï...
Almost before I am inside his front door, Jonathan Miller is telling me that next month's La Bohème at English National Opera will be the last opera he ever directs and that he should have stuck to practising medicine. “I was very good at it,” he reports, prescribing
me a large glass of malt whisky.
