Victorian-era theatrical partnership
POPULARITY
Seattle Opera presents its first-ever Gilbert & Sullivan in October 2025: The Pirates of Penzance, in a charming, traditional production that has already delighted many American opera audiences. Jonathan Dean explains the difference between opera and operetta, shares a bit of the music and humor of Pirates, and attempts to explain what The Pirates of Penzance is all about. Musical examples from Seattle Opera recordings of Rigoletto and Il trovatore, plus a recording of Pirates provided by the Atlanta Opera Film Studio (with Susanne Burgess as Mabel and Santiago Ballerini as Frederic, Chorus and Orchestra of Atlanta Opera conducted by Francesco Milioto) and another recorded in 1959 by EMI, featuring George Baker as the Major-General, James Milligan as the Pirate King, Owen Brannigan as the Police Sergeant, plus the Glyndebourne Festival Chorus and the Pro Arte Orchestra conducted by Sir Malcolm Sargent.
James Robinson, new General and Artistic Director of Seattle Opera, introduces the 2025/26 season. The Pirates of Penzance promises a musically extraordinary operatic approach to Gilbert & Sullivan; come prepared to laugh and to enjoy some familiar music as you've never heard it before. Daphne In Concert offers a rare opportunity to hear a lush Romantic masterpiece by Richard Strauss, an orchestral tour de force with splendid voices. Fellow Travelers, by Gregory Spears & Greg Pierce, is one of the most successful new American operas of the past decade: a bittersweet gay romance hidden inside a political thriller. And Carmen returns in a powerful production conducted by Seattle's beloved Ludovic Morlot and starring some of our favorite singers. Musical examples include excerpts from a 1959 Glyndebourne Pirates of Penzance, conducted by Malcolm Sargent and starring George Baker, Elsie Morison, and James Milligan; the 1964 Vienna Festival Daphne conducted by Karl Böhm and starring Hilde Gueden, Fritz Wunderlich, and James King; the recording of Fellow Travelers' world premiere, 2016 at Cincinnati Opera and starring Aaron Blake, Joseph Lattanzi, and Devon Guthrie, with the Cincinnati Symphony conducted by Mark Gibson; and Seattle Opera recordings of Carmen from 2019, Les Troyens from 2025, starring J'Nai Bridges and conducted by Ludovic Morlot, and Hansel und Gretel from 2016 starring Sasha Cooke and conducted by Sebastian Lang-Lessing.

The Broadway musical is one of New York City's greatest inventions, over 160 years in the making! It's one of the truly American art forms, fueling one of the city's most vibrant entertainment businesses and defining its most popular tourist attraction -- Times Square.But why Broadway, exactly? Why not the Bowery or Fifth Avenue? And how did our fair city go from simple vaudeville and minstrel shows to Shuffle Along, Irene and Show Boat, surely the most influential musical of the Jazz Age?This podcast is an epic, a wild musical adventure in itself, full of musical interludes, zipping through the evolution of musical entertainment in New York City, as it races up the 'main seam' of Manhattan -- the avenue of Broadway.We are proud to present a tour up New York City's most famous street, past some of the greatest theaters and shows that have ever won acclaim here, from the wacky (and highly copied) imports of Gilbert & Sullivan to the dancing girls and singing sensations of the Ziegfeld revue tradition.CO-STARRING: Well, some of the biggest names in songwriting, composing and singing.

It's time for episode 21, and it's a special one. Instead of our usual format, we've skipped the interview this week to take our time to talk about one of our oldest, most special and most cherished palaeoart books yet. After all, what Vintage Dinosaur Art is more worthy of an in-depth look than Alice B. Woodward's Golden Age illustrations in Henry Knipe's Evolution in the Past, all the way from 1912? The fact that two-thirds of us have come down with a brutal cold has nothing to do with it, I promise. What's all this talk about a Golden Age of illustration? What, if anything, is a rhabodontid? Is Natee secretly a total T. rex stan? Are we all going to break into a Gilbert & Sullivan song and dance number? (No.) And what did the scientists of the 1910s make of the infamous butt-brain hypothesis? Find out in this riveting episode. Show notes at Chasmosaurs.com

Jump into the PSTB DeLorean, plug in 1kW of guitar pedals, and let's go for a star-studded ride!

We skip over substantial portions of our hosts' stories, of course. No mention is made of Walker's extensive experience with Gilbert & Sullivan. Mark's stint as the Official Pokémon Master of Canada is glossed over. The deep tribal conflict of Jocks versus Geeks, of which Walker is destined to be the bridge (think Dune but even more messianic), is only alluded to.

With James Stewart playing her father George Bailey, Karolyn starred as Zuzu, uttering those timeless words, “Every time a bell rings an angel gets his wings.” Karolyn made 16 films between 1945 and 1952 and appeared alongside John Wayne, Cary Grant, Bing Crosby, Loretta Young, Fred MacMurray, Betty Grable, Danny Kaye and, of course, the immortal James Stewart. At age six, she had already appeared in four films when the part of Zuzu came along. It was just another small part, but one that has made an indelible imprint on the American consciousness. She joined us from her home in Weed, CA. Connect with Karolyn: Online: zuzu.net Facebook: @imzuzu Or meet her at the 2021 Tacoma Holiday Food & Gift Festival!

IN THE SPOTLIGHT: Kathy Garver Most fondly remembered for her starring role as “Cissy” in the long running CBS hit, “Family Affair”, Kathy Garver has garnered critical acclaim in movies, stage, radio, voice-over animation, and audio book narration. Legendary Cecil B. DeMille was one of the first to recognize Kathy's talent. Originally hired for a small part in the epic motion picture “The Ten Commandments”, Kathy was noticed by the great director who had special scenes written into the movie to highlight the little girl. During her teenage years, Kathy added radio and stage to her burgeoning film and television career and was a freshman majoring in speech at UCLA when she was cast in “Family Affair” to star as “Cissy” alongside Brian Keith and Sebastian Cabot. One of the warmest and most enduring series of the 1960's and 70's, Family Affair earned Kathy a host of accolades such as Best Actress from the “Family Television Awards” and continues to be popular today and is available on Amazon Prime. Today Kathy is an active, accomplished, and versatile actress, appearing in such films as "Sweet November" and "The Princess Diaries". Kathy is also very much in demand for her numerous vocal characterizations and is best known as “Firestar”, a mutant super hero in the Spiderman and his Amazing Friends TV series. Kathy has also recorded audiobooks for Brilliance Audio, Dove, Listen and Live and her voice has been heard in "Apollo 13" (which was awarded the Academy Award for sound), "Ransom", "Back Draft" and "Jingle all the Way", all directed by Ron Howard. Kathy also added author to her long list of accomplishments. Her first book, "The Family Affair Cookbook", was a tasty trip down memory lane and her 2015 memoir, "Surviving Cissy: My Family Affair of Life in Hollywood" was just released in paperback. This year, Kathy has two more books scheduled for publication: "TV Dinners with a Side Dish of Stars" and, to celebrate the 55th anniversary of "Family Affair", "Family Affair: A Pictorial Scrapbook" will be released in September. Currently, Kathy can be seen on her YouTube channel cooking show, "Cooking with Kathy and Scot" and she'll soon be launching a podcast called "All Things Classic" with director, writer, producer John Norton. She is a regular at comic conventions and autograph shows where she greets her many fans. Kathy joined us from her home in Bell Canyon, CA.

IN THE SPOTLIGHT: Susan King When it comes to interviews, award-winning entertainment writer Susan King is as accomplished as it gets. You heard some of the big names she's spoken with over the years, many of whom Susan grew up watching on the big screen. She fell in love with movies at the age of three watching Yankee Doodle Dandy (1942) on television and Houseboat at the movies with her parents. Susan quickly became obsessed, as her parents took her to everything from Pillow Talk, The Parent Trap, The Apartment, and Ride the High Country. Susan became a more serious student of cinema at 17, when she was introduced to such foreign films as Francois Truffaut's Jules & Jim; Jean Cocteau's Beauty and the Beast and Orpheus; and Jean Renoir's Grand Illusion, when she watched the PBS series Film Odyssey hosted by Charles Champlin.

Episode 8 Mount Diablo, The Mikado, and more Mysterious MailingsThroughout 1970, the Zodiac continued to mail taunting letters, notes, and codes- some of it referenced Mount Diablo, and the Gilbert & Sullivan production, The Mikado. Meanwhile, in the SF Bay area and beyond, multiple letters and threats, though unconfirmed to be Zodiac, were quickly attributed to him.Follow Zodiac Speaking on Facebook at:https://www.facebook.com/Zodiac-Speaking-Podcast-105911481547105or on Twitter at:https://twitter.com/PodcastZodiacVisit Mike Morford's Zodiac site at:http://zodiackillersite.com/And Richard Grinell's Zodiac site at:https://www.zodiacciphers.com/

This week on Episode 506 of Priority One: We #TrekOut the latest news about a new Jeopardy! guest host (we’ll take “Enterprise Engineers” for $200, thanks LeVar). John De Lancie teases more on Picard, and we really do mean teases. And in Star Trek gaming, the “Worf returns mystery” is finally solved, plus a screen-perfect pilot ship to power your season three Discovery dreams. This week’s Community Question is: CQ: If you were writing for Geordi’s return in a show like Star Trek: Picard, how would you set it up? Let us know on social media like Facebook, Twitter, or by visiting our website! TREK IT OUT Edited by Thomas Reynolds Mounting Anson-tipation By Rosco McQueen The warm embrace of Trek fandom is something truly unique. When you finally find it, it turns out it can change your world---one episode at a time. At least, that’s the case for Anson Mount, who is currently filming the first season of Strange New Worlds. In an interview with Collider promoting his new film The Virtuoso, the new Captain Pike was asked about the episodic nature of the new series and explained how a misunderstanding from Akiva Goldsman started it all. “All (Goldsman) had heard about [Discovery] was that it was going to be a pre-Kirk show, so he assumed it was a show about Captain Pike. He gets in the writers' room and he's like, ‘Wait, what?! This is a different show. Okay, all right. We can play with this, but we've gotta do another show.’ So, he was lobbying for it and lobbying for it and lobbying for it. I got lucky enough to be cast in the role for Season 2 of Discovery…I just thought it was a one season gig and that was it.” ...does anyone else hear Gilbert & Sullivan? Image: ViacomCBS via Collider. Mount goes on to talk about the episodic nature of Star Trek, and how he feels there is room for both serialized stories like Discovery and big-idea-of-the-week episodes. It’s quite the impact the character has had over only one season, as Mount goes on to express his gratitude for the welcome he received from fans. “Honestly, I've never felt such embrace from a fan base, on anything I've done. It is really night and day, and I'm very thankful to everyone with Gene Roddenberry and CBS, and Alex [Kurtzman] and Akiva for putting a huge amount of trust in me to be able to do it.” Let us know in the comment section for this episode at priorityonepodcast.com, or by replying to our community question post on our social media channels like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram! Your Anomaly Must Be In The Form Of A Question By Cat Hough Remember all the way back to Episode 504 of Priority One? You know, the one where we encouraged you all to support LeVar Burton becoming the host of Jeopardy!. Well, the powers-that-be heard you---and the 246,000 other people who signed the petition. It was announced that Burton has been included in the latest slate of guest hosts for the 37th season of the show. But who'll play him in the inevitable SNL sketch? Image: Variety. According to the producers of the show, their goal for this season was to showcase a wide variety of hosts with “different skill sets and backgrounds on our path to finding a permanent host.” As part of each guest host’s appearance, a charity of their choice will receive a donation. Burton’s episodes air the week of July 26. The other guest hosts on the list are: Good Morning America and This Week With George Stephanopoulos anchor George Stephanopoulos (the week of July 12) Fellow GMA anchor Robin Roberts (July 19) CNBC Squawk on the Street co-anchor and former Celebrity Jeopardy! champ David Faber (Aug. 2) three-time National Sportscaster of the Year award winner sportscaster Joe Buck (Aug. 9), who is known for covering NFL and MLB games on Fox. A View To Star Trek History By Cat Hough Celebrating the guest host announcement, Burton appeared on The View earlier this week where he confirmed to Whoopi Goldberg that he will not be appearing in season two of Star Trek: Picard. However, he still leaves fans with some hope that he might appear at some point in future seasons, stating “I believe it is reasonable---in fact practical---to assume that Picard still knows these people. They’re his friends. I think we might see more of his friends. At least I hope we do before this is all over.” The interview covered a variety of topics, including Burton’s acting history. The two discussed his role as Kunta Kinte in Roots which aired to more than 100 million people around the world in 1977. They continued with Reading Rainbow, of course Star Trek: The Next Generation, and ending with his current podcast project, “LeVar Burton Reads.” If you want to imagine it happening like this, we won't stop you. Image: ViacomCBS. Goldberg and Burton also spoke about inclusivity and the impact of Nichelle Nichols’ role as Lt. Uhura, saying “because what it said was when the future comes, there’s a place for us. And that’s a huge message to send. I believe it’s difficult if not impossible to grow up with a healthy self-image, unless you can see yourself in popular culture.” Ginning Up Support For Geordi By Cat Hough Obviously we, and those other 246,000 people who signed the petition, can’t get enough of LeVar Burton. Even Ryan Reynolds recently sang Burton’s praises. Well, he didn’t literally sing, but in a new ad for Aviation Gin, Reynolds says he wants to prove how great a host of Jeopardy! that Burton would be and he announces that Burton is stepping in for him as the spokesperson for the gin. The scene then cuts to Burton sitting by a pool sipping a “out of this world” gin and tonic made with Aviation Gin. The two banter back and forth, with Reynolds proclaiming that Burton is a “goddamned national treasure.” The ad ends with Burton telling Reynolds “this isn’t going to work out, Ryan.” If nothing else, the ad shows that Burton is definitely an excellent host. https://twitter.com/VancityReynolds/status/1385383911195303937?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1385383911195303937%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cbr.com%2Flevar-burton-replace-ryan-reynolds-aviator-gin%2F That leads us to our first community question this week: CQ: If you were writing for Geordi’s return in a show like Star Trek: Picard, how would you set it up? Let us know in the comment section for this episode at priorityonepodcast.com or by replying to our community question post on our Social Media channels like FaceBook, Twitter, and Instagram! De Lancie Makes A Q-meo Appearance By Jake Morgan We may be grasping at straws with this story, but it features one John De Lancie---talking at us---so it’s worth a mention (if ONLY to enjoy the thespian’s charisma). In a post on the r/Television subreddit dated April 20th, user u/whatagirlygirl shared a Cameo video from Q himself. De Lancie seemed to be answering a few questions posed by the Cameo submitter---in particular “Please tell us Q gets to harass Picard?” To which the 73 year old De Lancie replied, with great fervor, ”I do”. Had the exchange ended there, it probably wouldn’t have made the show---though it still would have been well worth a watch. But---and you had to know there was a but---De Lancie continued: ”And please tell us if Whoopie comes back you’re going to harass her as well” “I will.” https://youtu.be/j--CZSW87ms De Lancie didn’t back-pedal, he didn’t expound. He just left the possibility of a Q/Guinan reunion there, beautifully, in the ether. What does this mean? Well...nothing, really. But it’s interesting. De Lancie addressed the question---which he could have avoided altogether---and answered it with gusto. Only time will tell. STAR TREK GAMING NEWS Edited by Thomas Reynolds Going To Pieces For Book’s Ship By Elio Lleo Captains, if you love barrel-rolling your way through the galaxy in your favorite pilot warship in Star Trek Online, but all of the available options feel a bit too connected, then this is the story for you. Announced this week via social media, Grudge’s ship… ahem… former-courier Cleveland Booker’s ship, the Kwejian Pilot Frigate will be available in-game for PC players from May 4. It’s agile! It’s versatile! And its five forward facing weapons will destroy your enemies with style! (Extra cat friend not included. Available only through the Infinity Lockbox. Universal Console limited to this ship. Phaser cannons not upgradable. Consult your Chief Medical Officer to ensure this ship is right for you.) This Tier 6 pilot warship also has an innate ability---that being, something you don’t need a console for---Morph Reversal!! Much like Book’s ship in season three of Discovery, this starship is highly maneuverable due to the detached…everything. Using the ability means you can swing your ship into the opposite direction using the morphing mechanisms. But the shuffling of the components will cost you: your weapons and auxiliary subsystems will be briefly disabled. So IKEA makes starships now, I guess? Image: Cryptic Studios. Other highlights include some sweet muti-part animations when performing Pilot Maneuvers, and a suite of 32nd Century Phaser cannons that have a chance to recover recharge time for your bridge officer abilities. The blog post also announced that the contents of the Angels Wake Lockbox have been rolled into the Infinity Lockbox. ...Ohh, That’s What That Tweet Was About By Elio Lleo Last week we reported that Michael Dorn kinda broke the #StarTrek Twitter Community with a cryptic post about some kind of return to Starfleet. Well, not long after, we learned what it was all about!! In a tweet posted to his account on April 23rd, we learned that Mr. Dorn has lent his voice to Tilting Point’s newest mobile game Star Trek: Legends. In the marketing post, we hear Worf sending out a distress call from within the Nexus. https://twitter.com/akaWorf/status/1385590581573812225 So, at least we know for certain what that tweet was about now! But, why introduce a new starship to set the stage for the game? Well, during a press event, ComicBook.com reports that Executive Producer and Creative Director Amir Lotan explained “...we had to kind of set up that the Federation of Planets created this unique starship that's the only starship in the fleet that can go into that realm…we didn't want a starship that would be associated specifically with one of those shows or one of those eras.” So, if you’re interested in trying out the game it’s currently available exclusively via Apple Arcade for US$4.99 per month or US$49.99 annually. No word yet if we’ll ever see an Android version on Google’s Play Pass.

Synopsis Deadlines are a fact of life for many of us—and composer are no exception. In 1875, Peter Tchaikovsky agreed to write 12, short solo pieces, one a month, for a St. Petersburg music magazine, beginning with their January 1876 issue. Tchaikovsky dashed the first piece off, but, fearing that he might forget his monthly deadline, took the wise precaution of instructing his servant to remind him: before each month’s deadline, Tchaikovsky’s dutiful servant would say: “Peter Ilytich, isn’t it about time to send something off to St. Petersburg?” Tchaikovksy would drop whatever he was working on and finish the next installment. So, it’s not too far-fetched to imagine Tchaikovsky on this date back in 1876 putting the finishing touches to this little piano piece for the May issue of the St. Petersburg magazine, a sketch he titled “Starlight Nights.” More recently, the contemporary American composer, Judith Lang Zaimont, also composed a set of 12 short piano pieces, one for each month, a suite she titled “Calendar Collection.” An accomplish pianist and composer, Zaimont taught for many years at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis.

In 1875, Peter Tchaikovsky agreed to write 12, short solo pieces, one a month, for a St. Petersburg music magazine, beginning with their January 1876 issue. Tchaikovsky dashed the first piece off, but, fearing that he might forget his monthly deadline, took the wise precaution of instructing his servant to remind him: before each month’s deadline, Tchaikovsky’s dutiful servant would say: “Peter Ilytich, isn’t it about time to send something off to St. Petersburg?” Tchaikovksy would drop whatever he was working on and finish the next installment. So, it’s not too far-fetched to imagine Tchaikovsky on this date back in 1876 putting the finishing touches to this little piano piece for the May issue of the St. Petersburg magazine, a sketch he titled “Starlight Nights.” More recently, the contemporary American composer, Judith Lang Zaimont, also composed a set of 12 short piano pieces, one for each month, a suite she titled “Calendar Collection.” An accomplish pianist and composer, Zaimont taught for many years at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis.

For additional notes and resources check out Douglas’ website.I. PRINCIPLES OF CRIME & PUNISHMENTPrinciple 1: God is a God of JusticeUltimately all crimes against God (Psalms 51:4). What does the Bible say about crimes against man (person/ property)?Proverbs 24:25, Ecclesiastes 8:11, Ecclesiastes 5:8-9.Lex talionis: Limitation: a maximum, not a minimum. See Exodus 21:24, Matthew 5:38.“Let the punishment fit the crime” – Gilbert & Sullivan, The Mikado (1885).Principle 2: There will be a Judgment Day, and it will be FairThere will be an ultimate judgment – and it will be fair (Genesis 18:25; Luke 12:47-48; Romans 2:5, 14:10; 2 Corinthians 5:10; Hebrew 9:27; 2 Peter 3:7; 1 John 4:17, etc).Yet there may be a delay.Habakkuk wondered…Numbers 32:23.1 Timothy 5:24.Principle 3: Moral Authority must Speak Truth to Power or No One is Above the LawThe prophets spoke out against social injustice: Elijah, Amos, John the Baptist, and many others…Jesus challenged leaders of his day. Reminded high priest, governor, and other authorities about some important spiritual principles...There are times when believers must speak up -- speak out!Principle 4: Law is GoodMuch of modern law comes from the Romans.Even more may come from the Jews: property law, torts, worker’s compensation, litigation, etc (Exod 20-Deut 33).Even studying OT law shows us God’s wisdom, providence and justice. Even though it is not the law of God for us, it is still the word of God for us, and we have much to learn!Principle 5: Civil Disobedience is Occasionally JustifiedHenry David ThoreauDaniel 3:18, 6:10 – obey government except when contradicts law of GodOn the other hand, we should pay taxes, even if they’re unfair -- we disagree with how the government chooses how to spend them. Give to those who ask you (Matthew 5:42). Insistence on “rights”?Principle 6: The State has the Right to Punish InfractionsFines, traffic tickets, etcImprisonmentExecution: Romans 13.II. THOUGHTS ON INCARCERATIONAncient times:Temporary, awaiting trial.Long-term – more likely for king’s prisoners. Or those rulers did not want to make martyrs of.Paul (Acts 24, 28) and Joseph (Genesis 39+) are unusual in the length of their incarcerations.Prisoners were visited by friends or relatives -- fed, clothed, care for by them. The state did little (see Jeremiah 37-38).Does our system of incarceration work? “Correctional,” or “penitentiary”? Or just a punishment?It works poorly, though in some nations the penal system is more effective than in others.Two extremes: soft and hard; focus on prisoners' rights vs. focus on society's rightsReformation of character?Not usually. Rather, recidivism!US – 5% of world population and 25% of world’s prisoners. China – less glorious human rights record – far fewer incarcerated!Prison ministry?In NT times, prisoners would normally have been believers (Hebrews 13).And yet prisons present a great evangelistic opportunity. Implication of Philippians 1:7,12-14; 4:22).
The one-and-only Inge Hyder regales us with tales from her skydiving experiences through the years, including her 90th birthday skydive celebration in October this year. Inge closes this conversation by singing a song celebrating the life and character of her mother that Inge wrote on an Elderhostel trip. A longtime Gilbert & Sullivan fan and performer, it is only fitting that Inge's tribute song be set to a Gilbert & Sullivan tune.

In episode 13, we're in August/Sept 1922, which means: - Manchester's first broadcast concert - The pre-BBC battles the printed press. Has the BBC got news for us? Erm... Not yet, and not easily. - The Reithian values arrive - 'to inform, educate & entertain' - except somehow they're knocking about before John Reith's even heard of broadcasting. Our guest is Andrew Barker, a former BBC producer and radio history enthusiast, who's been delving into the newspaper archives to bring us fascinating clippings from 1922. Hear how the Manchester Guardian told its readers what a radio tuner was... how Caruso, Gilbert & Sullivan and a racist song all came to the wireless that summer... and how impatient the listeners were getting for the Postmaster General to pull his finger out and press 'go' on the BBC. Plus an excerpt from a 1937 Radio Pictorial magazine courtesy of Stewart Henderson. See many such excerpts in photo form, shared to our @bbcentury pages on Facebook and Twitter.

Website: www.OnlineWithJudyFine.com Facebook: @OnlineWithJudyFine (Judy Fine Vocal Coach) Instagram: @OnlineJudyFine YouTube: @OnlineJudyFine Michael Cohen I have been composing music almost all of my adult life, most of it for various bands that featured female vocalists. In 1988 I formed the band Lip Service in Bellingham Washington to perform my newly written original material. Over the next decade Lip Service played at festivals and coffee houses across the Pacific Northwest. Their music could be heard on radio programs in the greater Seattle area, and they appeared on Sandy Bradley's Potluck, broadcast nationwide on NPR. Lip Service recorded two albums of original music, "Love & Romance Game" and "Like Magic" produced by Rick Ruskin at Lion Dog Studio in Seattle. In 1994 my wife and I moved to New England and began performing as Fuzzy Logic, which started out as a duet and morphed into a septet, featuring 3 female vocalists. In 2000 Fuzzy Logic released it's first CD “Doing The Best I Can”. The group gradually morphed into a septet, that focused on performing my music. Their second CD “Almost” was released in 2007, followed up with “Snow Shadows” in 2011. More recently I combined my interests in composing and storytelling into writing musicals, six of which were performed in New Hampshire. “Moon Fever” debuted in September 2003 followed by “The Neon Coconut” (2005), a reworked “Moon Fever” (2006) which was nominated for best original musical at the New Hampshire Theater Awards, “Amelia Rules!” (2007) based on the popular graphic novel series, “Transference” (2008), the music & lyrics for “Cartoon Ink”(2010) a pilot for a kid’s TV series. “Joanie’s Phone” (2011) and “Beauty and the Geek” (2012). I recently wrote the music for a short theatrical piece entitled “Café Straits”. I formed an ensemble called "Complicated People" to perform cabaret style shows featuring songs from my musicals, featuring a large group of vocalists, the Fuzzy Logic band, augmented by a woodwind trio. At this point I became very interested in writing for orchestral instruments. In 2011 I relocated to Italy and am currently involved with musical projects here with a new Complicated People ensemble, as well as arranging my music for virtual orchestra. I enjoy the challenge of composing in a wide variety of styles. My music has been variously influenced by Antonio Carlos Jobim, Gilbert & Sullivan, Leonard Bernstein, The Beatles, Jerome Kern, Stephen Sondheim, Maurice Ravel, Kurt Weill, Brian Wilson, Elvis Costello, and Jacques Brel. http://michaelcohenmusic.com/ Michael's music on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/strangeattractors/ Michael's music on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/6FFBx18z37l0ewzxQ9Ue92?si=h7xSns8LRbON7Mzh1ZzSTw Music Mentioned in the PodcastSusan Werner - Barbed Wire Boys Joni Mitchell - Marcie Supreme Beings of Leisure - Never The Same SFR Beats

When we think of operetta, words like “edgy” and “sexy” rarely come to mind. Dr. Kevin Clarke is hoping to change that through his work with the Operetta Research Center, which focuses on studying and reevaluating works from the first half of the twentieth century. These had long been denigrated as “silver operetta,” as opposed to the supposed Golden Age of the late nineteenth century, when composers like Johann Strauss and Gilbert & Sullivan created some of the most famous examples of the genre. Weimar operetta was a vibrant expression of international culture and sexual liberation, incorporating new musical influences such as jazz and frequently showcasing the work of Jewish artists, which made it a particular target of the Nazi regime. After World War II, social conservatives sought to keep these operettas in obscurity, repelled by their freewheeling and tolerant-minded explorations of sexuality. Now, these hidden gems of musical theatre are making a comeback, thanks to the efforts of scholars like Kevin and directors like Barrie Kosky. Kevin joined us to talk about the ongoing reevaluation of this long-neglected part of operetta history.

She have worked in public relations and editorial positions for non-profit organizations including The New York Public Library and American Bible Society. She was also a member of The Blue Hill Troupe, a Gilbert & Sullivan operetta group, before becoming a Christ follower and church goer.

Liz is going to share some serious wisdom about some of her past dating relationships, mental and emotional health in relationship, forgiveness and healing. Liz led a recovery group for women coming out of codependent relationships so she has a lot of great things to say about that as well.

In the tenth episode of Film Freaks Forever!, our hosts Mark Jordan Legan and Phoef Sutton dared to watch and listen to some truly dreadful modern film musicals—so much so that all the wildlife around our place, ran for the hills and have never returned. With so much to choose from, the Film Freaks narrowed it down to four modern film musicals that are truly so bizarre and strange that they'll end up wildly entertaining you and your friends (especially if booze & buds are being passed around, dig?) Everything from a 20-year-old unknown Olivia Newton-John singing her way through the weird sci-fi musical “Toomorrow” to the Bee Gees and Peter Frampton stinking up great Beatles music in the ill-advised “Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band” to the truly insane and enjoyable “The Apple” (where Satan himself runs the music industry) to “The Pirate Movie,” where Kristy McNichol and Christopher Atkins butcher soft rock ballads in between Gilbert & Sullivan numbers. So prepare your minds and your ears to hear some of the most outlandish and peculiar songs & lyrics ever recorded—plus some "groovy and with it" hippie dialogue that will impress all your cool friends! Today's episode is sponsored by Final Draft.

Many playwrights strive to create poetry on stage, hoping to put such elegant words in the mouths of their characters that audiences will sit stunned and shaken, transported from their seats to some new world. If only all playwrights began as poets—as did San Francisco’s Marisela Treviño Orta—then all of our stages would be singing with poetry as beautiful as that in Orta’s rich fairytale ‘The River Bride,’ which just opened a five-month run at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival in Ashland. The festival, which runs annually from February to November, always begins in the Spring with four shows, gradually adding new ones. The openers this time are Shakespeare’s ‘Twelfth Night,’ Gilbert & Sullivan’s ‘Yeomen of the Guard,’ Charles Dickens’ ‘Great Expectations,’ and ‘The River Bride.’ I’ll discuss the first three in my next broadcast. Easily the best of a strong batch, ‘The River Bride’ was first staged in San Rafael in 2014, part of the AlterLab new play development program sponsored by Marin County’s AlterTheater Ensemble. Originally co-directed by Ann Brebner and Jeanette Harrison, that early production was elegantly simple, using only a few wooden blocks as set pieces. In Ashland, Orta’s slinky, sexy blend of Brazilian river mythology and Grimm’s fairytales has now been given a magical, deceptively high-tech makeover by director Laurie Woolery, working with a stellar cast and a first-rate team of visual artists. Woolery fills her stage with gorgeous images, each scene a poem in its own right, a stunning collage of sight, sound, words and emotion. Fortunately, such bedazzlements never distract from the story, or from the incandescent heart of Orta’s indelible characters. Just three days before the wedding of 16-year-old Belmira and the local fisherman Duarte, the bride’s older sister Helena is doing her best to hide her own broken heart, having loved Duarte since childhood. During a stormy day of fishing, complete with raging thunder and mysterious pink lightning, Duarte and the sisters’ goodhearted father Senhor Costa haul up a well-dressed, unconscious stranger in their fishing nets. Initially suspicious, Senhora Costa soon welcomes the soft-spoken newcomer, who gives his name as Moises, and almost immediately forms a bond with the cautious, but gradually love-struck, Helena. As Helena, Nancy Rodriguez, is spectacular, revealing layer upon layer of hidden emotion. Armando McClain, who as Moises makes an art of enigmatically smoldering, is quite good in a part that less expert actors might have played too extravagantly. Jamie Ann Romero is excellent in the tricky part of Belmira, managing to be both innocent and selfishly devious, and as Duarte, Carlo Alban is all coiled intensity and molten jealousy. Triney Sandoval is delightful as Senhor Costa, and Vilma Silva, as Senhora Costa, is perfect, playing as many shades of motherly love as there are strings on a guitar. What happens next takes place in a world of grounded fantasy and stylized realism. On the Amazon, there are legends of trickster porpoises, which for three days in June take the form of human men, looking for love amongst those who dwell on the land. That myth eventually overlaps the lives of Orta’s characters in powerful ways, as Moises’ courtship of Helena stirs up deep and forbidden passions. As in all fairytales, the ending involves the breaking of curse, but with a poetic and heart-stopping twist, just one of many satisfying pleasures Orta serves up in this transcendent, one-of-a-kind masterpiece. ‘The River Bride’ runs in repertory with ‘Twelfth Night,’ ‘Great Expectations,’ and others, Tuesday through Sunday, in the Angus Bowmer Theater at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, in Ashland, Oregon.

Es geht um die Opern und Operetten von Gilbert & Sullivan.
In Victorian England, the unhappy wife of a repressed doctor yearns to feel alive - and finally takes matters into her own hands. In an imaginary steam-punk version of Victorian England, a band of brave, opera-singing women similarly yearn to be happy, free - and a little bit naughty - and they make it happen through the power of song. In East Berlin, Germany, a mysterious woman with a powerful secret survives against impossible odds, ultimately becoming an inspiration to a young American journalist. She survives through the power of her own belief in herself. In three productions either currently running or about to open in the North Bay, the concept of “gender” is just the tip of the iceberg in stories that challenge us, the audience, to look beneath the surface of some amazing human beings - some real, some fictional - all with something to show us we might not be expecting. Let’s start with "Heroines," opening tomorrow night at Sonoma State University. This one is a brand new original musical review featuring classic operetta tunes from the likes of Bertolt Brecht, Franz Lehar, Gilbert & Sullivan and others. It was created by musical director Lynn Morrow and stage director Jane Irwin Hammett, who appropriately titled their piece, "Heroines." Set during a time of radical change in England, when women were demanding the vote and a whole lot more, the piece pulls famous females from out of other stories and throws them all together. Due to a magical twist of time, these women from various centuries join forces to express their feelings through indelible songs borrowed from shows like "The Threepenny Opera," "The Merry Widow," and other musical masterpieces, and number from the operettas of Gilbert and Sullivan. In a fantasy version of London, these iconic characters come together in a city blending visuals from Dickens with ideas from Jules Verne, joining their hearts and voices in a revolutionary effort to break the shackles of tradition and inequality. Sounds fun, huh? New shows deserve our support, and SSU, in recent years, has made a strong effort to present at least one original show a year. And with voices recruited from SSU’s Departments of Music and Theater Arts & Dance, this is a production that probably will sound like a blast of pure operatic dynamite - and then some. Meanwhile, At Cinnabar Theater, Doug Wright’s Pulitzer-winning one-actor drama "I Am My Own Wife" introduces audiences to a different kind of heroine: the real-life Charlotte von Mahlsdorff, a transgender woman whose courage - and possibly a bit of treasonous duplicity - allowed her to escape Hitler’s concentration camps, and survive, in her own way, operating a small museum under the noses of her enemies, all during the communist party’s decades-long reign of suspicion and terror. I’ll be reviewing it in full next week. And finally, there’s Sarah Ruhl’s eye-opening drama, "In the Next Room," subtitled, "The Vibrator Play." This is a daring move for the usually fairly reserved Raven Players. The play looks at the marriage of a late Victorian woman and her husband, a doctor specializing in the treatment of hysterical women. He has been using a new treatment, made possible through the power of electricity, which seems to leave his patience extremely happy, and eager for their next appointment. It only his wife could become the focus of his attentions, she - and maybe even he - could find what is missing in their lives. Gorgeously written by Ruhl, it’s a love story with a jolt of raw truth, another story of what happens when strong women are given the power they need to take control of their own destinies, their own happiness, their own world. "I Am My Own Wife" runs February 6-22 at Cinnabar Theater, cinnabartheater.org. "Heroines" runs February 5-15 in the Evert B. Person Theater at Sonoma State University, Sonoma.edu. "In the Next Room" (or "The Vibrator Play") runs through February 14 at Raven Theater, Raventheater.org
