SynopsisOn today's date in 1840, a new opera by Gaetano Donizetti debuted at the Opéra Comique in Paris. This was La Fille du Régiment, or The Daughter of the Regiment. Other operas by the popular Italian composer were already playing in Paris, and others were scheduled. Despite being tailor-made to Parisian tastes, The Daughter of the Regiment was not well received.Apparently, French composers, Berlioz among them, felt threatened by the Donizetti blitz. “Monsieur Donizetti seems to treat us like a conquered country,” Berlioz wrote. “It is a veritable invasion. One can no longer speak of the opera houses of Paris, but only of the opera houses of Donizetti!”Well, eventually, Donizetti did win over French hearts and minds. And it's ironic to note that 100 years after its 1840 premiere, Paris was indeed an occupied country. In 1940, German tanks rolled into Paris, and at the Metropolitan Opera in New York, patriotic French soprano Lily Pons used her starring role in a revival of Donizetti's The Daughter of the Regiment to express her solidarity with the French Resistance. She added a rousing version of La Marseillaise to the finale of Donizetti's score, which brought sympathetic American audiences to their feet.Music Played in Today's ProgramGaetano Donizetti (1797-1848): La Fille du Regiment, excerpt; Joan Sutherland, soprano; Covent Garden Orchestra; Richard Bonynge, cond.

“A voice type is a group of voices with similar vocal ranges, capable of singing in a similar tessitura, and with similar vocal transition points (passaggi).[1] Voice classification is most strongly associated with European classical music, though it, and the terms it utilizes, are used in other styles of music as well. A singer will choose a repertoire that suits their voice. Some singers such as Enrico Caruso, Rosa Ponselle, Joan Sutherland, Maria Callas, Jessye Norman, Ewa Podleś, and Plácido Domingo have voices that allow them to sing roles from a wide variety of types; some singers such as Shirley Verrett and Grace Bumbry change type and even voice part over their careers; and some singers such as Leonie Rysanek have voices that lower with age, causing them to cycle through types over their careers. Some roles are hard to classify, having very unusual vocal requirements; Mozart wrote many of his roles for specific singers who often had remarkable voices, and some of Verdi's early works make extreme demands on their singers.[2]” --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/antonio-myers4/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/antonio-myers4/support

Koans are the record of provocative, and often paradoxical, exchanges between Zen masters and their students developed in medieval China. In her practice and writing, renowned Zen teacher Joan Sutherland reimagines the koan tradition with allegiance to its root spirit and to its profound potential for vivifying, subverting, and sanctifying our lives. In this episode, Joan is joined by clinical psychologist Megan Rundel in a conversation exploring how practice with Zen koans makes us permeable to the joys and the anguish of this life—and to the primordial mystery we glimpse behind the veil of the everyday.

Alena Bernardi is an indie artist and soprano originally from Detroit, Michigan who blends her classical and musical theater roots with pop, folk, rock, jazz, and neo soul.

During the covid-19 pandemic of 2020 (or the “great pause”) Alena founded a boutique online musical school, Unicorn Music Academy, that focuses on teaching it's students music through composition, improvisation, songwriting and play. During one of Unicorn Music Academy's Community Songwriting classes in April 2020, one month after Los Angeles had taken its pause, Blue & Yellow was born. Song: Blue and Yellow

Inauguramos una serie que nos llevará a conocer algunas de las más importantes y recordables arias en la que los o las protagonistas pierden la razón, a veces de forma momentánea. Hoy tratamos tres memorables páginas de Bellini. Abre el fuego el aria que cierra Il pirata. Maria Callas -a la que habremos de volver este año ya que en diciembre hará cien de su nacimiento- nos ofrece su monumental interpretación en el Carnegie Hall de Nueva York en 1959 bajo la batuta de su fiel Nicola Rescigno. Ella misma nos brinda la memorable aria del sonambulismo de Amina de La sonnambula en la versión scaligera de 1955 con la dirección de Bernstein. Cambiamos de tercio y traemos a Joan Sutherland para recordar el aria del Elvira de I puritani, una página de original estructura que concluye con una animada cabaletta y en la que el personaje aparece cortejado por su tío Giorgio y su pretendiente, Riccardo, que cantan en esta versión Nicolai Ghiaurov y Piero Cappuccilli.

Tomorrow morning I leave for three weeks and I've been desperately trying to come up with topics that would be a bit easier to produce while I'm away. What could be easier than birthdays for this month and next? Well… leave it to your intrepid producer to make that as complicated as it could be. But there's a good reason: so many exceptional singers have birthdays this month and next! In fact, November is so chock full of such artists that I decided to focus exclusively on the Birthday Girls. And what a lineup! Iconic divas like Joan Sutherland and Victoria de los Ángeles; tragically short-lived singers like Saramae Endich and the beloved Lucia Popp; forgotten artists like Kjerstin Dellert, Caterina Mancini, and Geneviève Touraine; exceptional Black artists like Barbara Hendricks and Marietta Simpson: all are represented. And let's not forget the pop divas, both celebrated (Tina Turner, Joni Mitchell, Bonnie Raitt), and less well-remembered (Chi Coltrane, Bonnie Bramlett). And that's just the tip of the iceberg. So lift a glass, cut a piece of Geburtstagkuchen, and tune in to Countermelody in celebration of these exceptional women! [n.b. This episode was posted before the death of Ned Rorem, who will be properly commemorated in next week's episode.] Countermelody is a podcast devoted to the glory and the power of the human voice raised in song. Singer and vocal aficionado Daniel Gundlach explores great singers of the past and present focusing in particular on those who are less well-remembered today than they should be. Daniel's lifetime in music as a professional countertenor, pianist, vocal coach, voice teacher, and journalist yields an exciting array of anecdotes, impressions, and “inside stories.” At Countermelody's core is the celebration of great singers of all stripes, their instruments, and the connection they make to the words they sing.

Earlier this year, in an episode entitled “Women of Color Sing Mahler,” I provided many of my listeners to their first exposure to the Mexican contralto Oralia Domínguez (25 October 1925 - 25 November 2013). Domínguez is famed for her collaborations with such musical giants as Maria Callas and Herbert von Karajan, but on her own terms, she ranks alongside those monumental true contraltos like Marian Anderson and Kathleen Ferrier. Though there is no question that she was underrecorded, she left a handful of classic commercial recordings, and a plethora of recorded live performances which an artist both technically grounded and fearless in expression, one whose legato singing exuded repose just as her phenomenal coloratura singing generates genuine excitement. I cannot say enough about this artist, who has rapidly become one of my very favorites! The episode features Domínguez in a wide range of material, from Monteverdi, Handel, and Vivaldi to the meat and potatoes roles in the standard operatic repertoire (Verdi, Rossini, Donizetti, Ponchielli, Saint-Saëns, Massenet) as well as less familiar fare by Michael Tippett and Mexican composers Silvestre Revueltas and Salvador Moreno. Along the way our Earth Goddess is joined by fellow singers Joan Sutherland, Martina Arroyo, Mirella Freni, József Simándy, Monica Sinclair, and, of course, Maria Callas. A bonus episode published concurrently on Patreon presents Domínguez in extended operatic scenes and further rare song material.

Do you ever wonder, who was behind the idea of putting new bike racks on the main street? Who fundraised and got grant funding to do up the local hall or institute? Who pushed for more rainwater tanks at the local oval?  This is just a handful of examples of what peak bodies have achieved to progress a town and boost community morale and tourism. There are 13 peak bodies in the Clare and Gilbert Valley's Council area, so there's one in every town but Clare. Each peak body receives $6000 from Council each year to assist them in their projects and that funding has just been increased in the latest budget. Adrian Nourse is the vice chair of the Saddleworth District Community Association and has been involved with the local peak body for 10 years. He's passionate about his community in particular Bee and Hill Park, which was developed in the same spot where the town's local shop once stood before it tragically burnt to the ground six years ago.

Many sopranos have taken the role, including, Maria Callas, Joan Sutherland, Renata Scotto, Lisette Oropesa and the current Lucia, Nadine Sierra.

Donald Macleod delves into the operas of Giacomo Puccini Giacomo Puccini was man of the theatre to his fingertips. Born in Lucca in 1858, into a distinguished family of church musicians, Puccini was never destined to follow in his forebears' footsteps. His fate was sealed when as a teenager he walked thirty miles to hear Verdi's Aida. He knew immediately that theatre was his calling and from that point on he wrote almost exclusively for the stage. A perfectionist and an often unreasonable taskmaster, Puccini agonised over each of his operas. Beginning with Manon Lescaut, the opera that launched Puccini internationally, this week Donald Macleod follows the off and the on-stage dramas of La Boheme, Tosca, Madam Butterfly, La fanciulla del West, Suor Angelica, Gianni Schicchi, Il tabarro and the opera he left incomplete at his death in 1924, his final masterpiece, Turandot. The stories on stage are interleaved with events in his personal life, from an early scandal over his affair with a married woman and some very dodgy skulduggery in his business dealings, to the suicide of one of his servants, a tragedy of such proportion, he was plunged in to a deep depression, haunted by the events for the rest of his life. This week, Donald Macleod celebrates a composer whose music expresses every human emotion, there's a host of landmark recordings, including the voices of Jonas Kaufmann, Angela Gheorghiu, Anna Netrebko and Roberto Alagna. We'll hear Mimì's touching calling card from La Boheme, in the classic Victoria de los Angeles version, while Renato Scotto pours all Madam Butterfly's hopes into the heart-breaking Un bel dì. There's the raw pain of Sister Angelica mourning her dead son, and the dark desperation of a jealous husband in Il tabarro. On Wednesday Callas and Gobbi's anguished, sadistic torture scene in Tosca still has the power to shock us as much as it did on its first night in 1900. It's high stakes and nail-biting tension in La fanciulla del West as Minnie trades the life of her outlaw lover on the outcome of a card game. Joan Sutherland's icy Princess Turandot, a magnificent pairing with Luciano Pavarotti's Prince Calaf comes on Friday along with a certain aria made famous by the 1990 world cup, heard here in the hands of another Puccini specialist, Jussi Björling.

In today's episode, Tara talks about what it looks and sounds like when a voice ages. This is a topic that hasn't been talked about enough and yet there are ways to do something to help stop some of aging effects. And to keep singing through the years with your best voice! Do you notice when people's voices sound different as they age? UT Southwestern Medical center says: Muscles and tissues in the larynx have atrophy (shrinkage of muscles), thinning of the mucous membranes and a stiffening of connective tissue. It shows ups in these ways: Higher pitch in men Lower pitch in women Loss of projection and resonance Volume and endurance is reduced Vocal tremors May sound weak or raspy or breathy Voice is drier From The Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons—The aging of our muscles related to breathing, as well as our spine and its curvature can affect the voice. The heart muscle also becomes less able to propel large quantities of the blood, causing tiredness. Helps to keep our voice singing with good quality: Be aware of your sound and if it's breathy, raspy, etc. Get regular exercise. Drink tons of water. Use your voice daily. Do SOVT exercises. Watch the foods you put in your body. Get a full night of sleep. Do vocal exercises that help with flexibility. Seek out finding a vocal coach.   There are some amazing singers who are singing into their senior years like: Tony Bennett https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTdKZllVqpw   Angelo La Forese https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5JU95a2Z0o   Micheal Trimble (episode 25) Joan Sutherland   Montserrat Cabelle https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EKB2wAYZTYw   Barbra Streisand- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9kP-EP3ucis   Don't ever give up on your voice, no matter your age!!

For Ausmusic month, a century of Australian music history from Dame Nellie to Dame Joan, and a walk through Percy Grainger's Hoard House.

It's a story we've been telling for centuries, in spite of the damage it's caused. The story of the sculptor Pygmalion and his statue Galatea crops up everywhere from Broadway musicals to glam rock records to computer programming. In the fourth episode of Ghost Echoes, we take inventory of Galateas. Music and Sound Notes: -- “In Every Dream Home a Heartache” can obviously be found on Roxy Music's For Your Pleasure. -- The recording of the doll song from Offenbach's Tales of Hoffmann is performed by Joan Sutherland with Richard Bonynge conducting l'Orchestre de la Suisse Romande. -- The excerpts from the My Fair Lady film soundtrack are “Wouldn't it be Loverly” performed by Marni Nixon and “I've Grown Accustomed to her Face” performed by Rex Harrison. -- Kate Bush's “Misty” is on her album 50 Words for Snow. Further reading, listening, etc.: -- Ovid's Metamorphoses has been translated into English by many, including A.D. Melville. Information on Project Borghild and sex dolls generally came from Anthony Ferguson's The Sex Doll: A History and “A (Straight, Male) History of Sex Dolls” by Julie Beck in the Atlantic. On Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion, Charles A. Berst's Pygmalion: Shaw's Spin on Myth and Cinderella was useful, as were this story from Studio 360 and Bernard Shaw's own preface and postscript to the play. Here's “The Sandman” by E.T.A. Hoffmann. Examples of conversation with ELIZA came from this piece by Oliver Miller in Thought Catalogue. -- The marching band audio in the Project Borghild scene comes from this archival video. All excerpts from Pygmalion are from the 1938 film version starring Wendy Hiller and Leslie Howard. The montage towards the end features clips from Her, Ex Machina, Battlestar Galactica, Blade Runner and Blade Runner 2049.

Joan Sutherland, Nicolai Gedda and Spiro Malas.

In 1972, I saw a production of Gaetano Donizetti's opera La Fille du Regiment ("The Daughter of the Regiment"), starring Joan Sutherland and Luciano Pavarotti. And in 1972, there were no two opera singers more famous, more skilled or greater.
