Act II builds on the suspense and burgeoning relationship between Rodolfo and Mimi, newfound neighbors and bohemian lovers in the Latin quarter of Paris. Their spark of divine love is juxtaposed with the contrasting passion and suffering of Marcello and Musetta, the latter whose adulterous liaison serves as the locus of lustful competition, jealousy, and spite. Such destructive tendencies are representative of our collective humanity's consequent obsession with carnal desire and adultery, symbolized in Revelations as the scarlet whore who entices the multitudes with false prophecy and blind promises that lead to intense affliction. See how spiritual initiates like Puccini warned against following blind passion and the ways to recognize salvation within oneself: the path of chastity or sexual purity within the perfect matrimony.

The Royal Ballet and Opera House in London continue their programme of access to their productions for blind and partially sighted people with both live and recorded audio description for their current production of Puccini's La Bohème from 18 December 2024 into January 2025.  RNIB Connect Radio's Toby Davey was joined by Principal Guest Conductor Designate - Speranza Scappucci, freelance Audio Describer - Julia Grundy and Paul Adams - Access manager at The Royal Opera House for an overview to the story of La Bohème, what blind and partially sighted people might expect from either attending the live audio described performance on Wednesday 18 December 2024 at 7.30pm with a touch tour at 6.30pm or from the recorded audio description at the remaining performances throughout December and into January 2025. About Puccini's La Bohème  Set in 19th-century Paris, La Bohème is about the lives of a group of struggling young artists. Based on Henry Murger's novel Scenes de la vie de Bohème, the opera follows a love story between a poet named Rodolfo and Mimi, a seamstress, as they are forced to face the challenges of Mimi's declining health and the realities of living in Paris' Latin Quarter during the 1830s. The relationships and hardships faced by the pair along with their friends Marcello and Musetta are explored, alongside the effects of poverty, illness and youthful passion. A poignant take on the fleeting nature of happiness, La Bohème is an everlasting tale of tragic romance.

Reunimos otra vez, de nuevo con la colaboración de Ricardo de Cala, un ramillete de jóvenes voces españolas. Primero tres barítonos: Borja Quiza en El barberillo de Lavapiés; David Menéndez en la romanza de Vidal de Luisa Fernanda, y Juan Jesús Rodríguez en la salida de Juan de Los Gavilanes.Después, tres sopranos en páginas puccinianas: Raquel Lojendio interpretando Donde lieta uscì de La bohème; Vanessa Goicoechea matizando Vissi d’arte de Tosca y Carmen Romeu cantando la traviesa aria de Musetta de La bohème. Enseguida contrastamos con un timbre de bajo, el de Rubén Amoretti, que nos ofrece Ol’ Man River de Showboat de Kern. Dos tenores nos siguen amenizando la noche: Alejandro del Cerro, con su recreación del Ingemisco del Requiem de Verdi, y Alejandro Roy, en el aria de Maurizio L’anima ho stanca de Adriana Lecouvreur de Cilea. Cambiamos de cuerda y escuchamos la luminosa voz de Sonia de Munck en la romanza de Rosa de El rey que rabió de Chapí. Y cerramos con una voz hispanoamericana, la del tenor argentino Marcelo Álvarez, que nos canta la muy difícil aria de Raoul de Nangis de Los Hugonotes de Meyerbeer Plus blanche que la blanche hermine.Escuchar audio

Ihr Name ist heute vor allem unter Gesangsstudierenden eine Institution für sich. Nicht wenige Sopranistinnen hat sie in der Berliner Universität der Künste hervorgebracht und ihnen zu einer erfolgreichen Sängerkarriere verholfen, die sie selbst einst innehatte. Ihren deutschsprachigen Wurzeln folgend wagte sie jung den Weg von Amerika nach Europa, um sich auf dem hart umkämpften Sängermarkt zu etablieren. Der Weg sollte kein leichter werden, doch nicht wenige Zweifler belehrte sie bald eines Besseren. Die Bayerische Staatsoper in München wurde ihr künstlerisches Zuhause, wo sie in Partien wie Despina, Zdenka, Sophie, Musetta und Susanna Maßstäbe setzte und die sie schließlich auch auf den großen, internationalen Bühnen verkörpern durfte. Zeitgenössische Komponisten wie Aribert Reimann wissen ihre Kunst auch als Konzertsängerin zu schätzen und widmen ihr maßgeschneiderte Werke. Wieso man beim Studieren neuer Werke manchmal eine Woche an nur zwei Takten übt, wie schwer es sein kann, im Vorsingen sein volles Potential zeigen können und was Singen und Betrunkensein gemeinsam haben, davon berichtet die amerikanische Sopranistin und erfolgreiche Gesangsprofessorin Julie Kaufmann.

Hace tiempo que no contestamos por los micrófonos las cartas de algunos oyentes. Recuperamos hoy tres misivas que tienen ya algún tiempo. En primer lugar la firmada por don Luis Pingarrón, que nos solicitaba la radiación del famoso Trío de El caballero de la rosa de Strauss por Montserrat Caballé, Teresa Zilys-Gara y Edith Mathis en la versión de Glyndebourne de 1965 dirigida por John Pritchard. Luego comentamos un párrafo de la extensa carta de don Manuel González en el que habla precisamente de Caballé. La escuchamos en dos arias de bigote: Suicidio de La Gioconda de Ponchielli y La mamma morta de Andrea Chénier de Giordano. Y comentamos sus interpretaciones. Antes habremos seguido a Edita Gruberova, de la que también habla nuestro oyente, cantando la cabaletta final de La sonnambula de Bellini. Cerramos el programa contestando a la carta de don Fernando (no consta su apellido), que pide que hablemos de dos cantantes mexicanos otrora famosos: el tenor Jorge Lagunes, que nos canta una copla popular, y la soprano Lupita Pérez, que nos obsequia con el vals de Musetta de La bohème y O mio babbino caro de Gianni Schicchi, ambas de Puccini. Cerramos con otro Jorge Lagunes, este barítono de nuestros días, que interpreta dos canciones muy famosas: La rosa y el sauce y Siboney.Escuchar audio

A Dutch South African, Musetta Vander was raised without that most basic of modern conveniences--television! Radio programming, childhood books and weekend trips to the drive-in introduced her to the magical world of movies. It was not until the mid-'70s that South Africa finally got television, and the big black box in the family living room "miraculously" sprang to life. However, as the daughter of a ballet teacher, Musetta was no stranger to the entertainment world and debuted on stage at the age of four.  Shortly after her arrival, she became part of the very world she used to host, appearing as the "dream girl" in more than 20 music videos for such top recording artists as Rod Stewart, Amy Grant, Tina Turner, Elton John and Chris Isaak. It was her critically acclaimed stage performance in the original South African play "Soweto's Burning", about the trials of an interracial friendship in that racially segregated country, that provided her transition to the big screen. Musetta has since performed in numerous feature films, including collaborating with her husband on Under the Hula Moon and Gunshy. She has also worked alongside such screen veterans as Kevin Kline, Kenneth Branagh and Will Smith in Wild Wild West, George Clooney and John Turturro in O Brother, Where Art Thou? and John Hurt and Louis Gossett Jr. in Monolith. She's also added a slew of television credits to her arsenal, including guest appearances on the hit shows Star Trek: Voyager, Frasier, Xena, Babylon 5, Highlander, Stargate SG-1 and Buffy the Vampire Slayer.   Want to watch: YouTube Meisterkhan Pod (Please Subscribe)

Soprano Julie Lea Goodwin performs across opera, musical theatre, and classical cross-over. She has played Musetta in La Bohème and Maria in West Side Story for Opera Australia. She performed opposite Anthony Warlow in Phantom of the Opera, and has sung as a soloist with many of Australia's Symphony Orchestras. With Christmas in the air, she'll be joining the Sydney Philharmonia Choirs for Carols at the House for three concerts from 15th to the 17th of December in the Concert Hall of the Sydney Opera House. Julie Lea knew she wanted to be a performer from a very early age, and tells stories of singing to the horses on the family's property out of Brisbane and enjoying the old Hollywood musicals on video. She charts her carer from her remarkable early break as Christine in Phantom of the Opera, through making her debut with Opera Australia and singing with orchestras and ensembles around the country.

It's time for my fourth annual April Fools Day episode! The first one that I published exactly four years ago, entitled Alternate Universe Bel Canto, has proven to be one of my most popular, and one that was the gateway episode for many of my most devoted listeners. Furthermore, this one came specifically at the request of one of my newest Patreon supporters (hint, hint to those of you who are not yet supporting the podcast there!) Instead of an overview of all those “outsider music” opera singers out there, I have chosen to focus in on three sopranos in particular whom I find to be the most original, entertaining: Mari Lyn (AKA Marilyn Sussman), Olive Middleton (AKA Olive Townend), and Natália de Andrade. Each of these women created her own platform. Mari Lyn was the Singing Hostess of the 1980s New York-based cable network series The Golden Treasury of Song. After a career in the 1920s singing roles such as Musetta under Thomas Beecham at Covent Garden, British soprano Olive Middleton became, much later in life, the lead diva of New York's La Puma Opera Company, giving quixotic performances with that company well into her seventies (and well past her vocal expiration date!), performances that gained her a fanbase that included lead singers of the Metropolitan Opera as well as the fussiest of opera queens. And the Portuguese soprano Natália de Andrade (my favorite!) gained fame and notoriety in her native country and beyond for her self-financed recordings, particularly the late-career ones published in the 1980s, which gained her the grudging respect given to those most deluded of holy fools. And lest one think that this episode deals only with sopranos, I also give a nod to the raucous-voiced American mezzo-soprano Sylvia Sawyer, who appeared in the 1950s on complete opera recordings issued on the Capitol Records label and produced, incredibly, under the auspices of the Rome Opera. To be clear: though I find each of these deluded divas to be, each in her own distinctive way, hilarious, in the end, each of them earns my respect for her enterprising undertakings, her firm belief in her own talent, and her unique approach to tuning, phrasing, and language, here perpetrated exclusively on the music of Giuseppe Verdi, who must surely be turning over in his grave right about now! 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.

Sir Malcolm Walker is the chairman and co-founder of the frozen food supermarket chain Iceland. He was brought up in Grange Moor, West Yorkshire. He was just 14 when his father died, and he helped his mother run a smallholding, driving a tractor and ploughing fields. His business instinct kicked in during his teenage years, when he promoted Saturday night dances by booking bands into local church halls. After receiving rejections from Marks & Spencer and Littlewoods, he became a trainee manager at Woolworths, and recalls that he started at the very bottom, sweeping the floors for many months before gradually winning promotions and moving round the country. In 1970, he and Peter Hinchcliffe, a colleague from Woolworths, opened a shop in Oswestry, selling loose frozen food from chest freezers. The business soon began to take off, Malcolm and Peter were both fired by Woolworths, and Malcolm went on to build a company which now has more than 1000 stores in the UK and Ireland. Along the way, boardroom battles led to his departure in the early 2000s, but he later returned and Iceland is now back in family ownership. Alongside his business pursuits, Malcolm has been a fundraiser for dementia charities, after his wife was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's. She died in 2021 after more than 50 years of marriage. He was knighted in 2017, has three children, one of whom also works in the family business, and he married for the second time in August last year.

RNIB Connect Radio's Toby Davey is joined again by Vidar Hjarding MBE, Inclusion and Diversity Consultant for ITV News across England, Wales, Northern Ireland and the channel Islands for the next in his regular Connect Radio audio described theatre reviews. This week Vidar is reviewing the audio described performance of English National Opera's production of Puccini's La bohème at the Coliseum in London. This is a slightly different accessible performance as there was no live through audio description however, more enhanced recorded described introductory notes were played out through headsets 15 minutes before curtain up with more recorded notes played during the intervals between each of the acts provided by Sightlines Audio Describer Willie Elliot. Puccini's La bohème is one of the most famous operas ever written, following the unforgettable story of two young, bohemian lovers in Paris. With a great love story comes a beautiful score, including arias like Musetta's Waltz and ‘Yes, they call me Mimì' (Si, mi chiamano Mimì). La bohème is Vidar's favourite opera and one he has seen many times over the years and Vidar began by telling Toby how the enhanced introductory notes helped him with his understanding of the look and feel to the costumes and set of ENO production of La bohème. Vidar also explained how the enhanced notes differed from the usual introductory notes that he normally receives for other audio described performances. With Vidar knowing La bohème so well it more than likely helped with his understanding and enjoyment of this production with no through audio description and Vidar noted how much he does rely on the live through audio description for a full understanding of the theatre productions he attends at many theatres around the country.  Vidar summed up by saying that as he knows La bohème so well he was able to enjoy this production with just the enhanced introductory notes however, he would not normally have as an enjoyable and full filled experience without the live through audio description. Although if you were very familiar with a theatre show you might be able to have a good experience with just the enhanced introductory notes but that is no substitute for the full AD experience; intro notes, touch tour and the live through description.

TramaL'esistenza spensierata di alcuni giovani artisti bohémien nella Parigi del 1830, costituisce l'ambientazione dei diversi episodi in cui si snoda l'intera opera.QUADRO INella soffittaIl periodo è la vigilia di Natale. Marcello (un pittore) e Rodolfo (un poeta) tentano di scaldarsi davanti a un caminetto. Marcello sta dipingendo, mentre Rodolfo usa le pagine di un suo poema per ravvivare il fuoco.Si unisce a loro prima il filosofo Colline e in seguito il musicista Schaunard con un cesto di cibarie e la notizia di aver finalmente guadagnato qualche moneta. L'inaspettata visita di Benoît (il padrone di casa) smorza gli entusiasmi.Con uno stratagemma il padrone di casa viene allontanato e il gruppo di amici si reca al caffè Momus.Rodolfo rimane indietro, promettendo di raggiungerli non appena avesse finito di scrivere il suo articolo.Mimì, la giovane vicina di casa, bussa alla porta di Rodolfo per chiedergli una cortesia: il suo lume si è spento e vorrebbe una candela per riaccenderlo. La ragazza però ha un mancamento: è il primo sintomo della tisi.Quando alfine si accinge a tornare a casa, si rende conto di aver perso la chiave della sua stanza. Sia Rodolfo che Mimì si inginocchiano per cercarla; nella concitazione del momento, entrambi i lumi si sono spenti.Rodolfo, volendo trascorrere più tempo in compagnia di Mimì, nasconde in tasca la chiave appena ritrovata. I due conversano delle loro vite, mentre continuano a cercare la chiave al buio. Mimì racconta di vivere da sola e di essere una rcamatrice di fiori.L'intimità dei due viene interrotta dalle grida degli amici di Rodolfo, che reclamano la sua presenza al caffè; Mimì gli propone di accompagnarla, quindi entrambi si recano al caffè MomusQUADRO IIAl caffè MomusIl gruppetto di amici si ricongiunge al caffè Momus, dove Rodolfo presenta agli altri la giovane Mimì.Intanto giunge anche Musetta, una vecchia fiamma di Marcello, insieme al ricco e non più giovane Alcindoro. Lei aveva lasciato Marcello per tentare nuove avventure. Musetta fa di tutto per attirare l'attenzione di Marcello, arrivando a togliersi una scarpa e scoprire la caviglia, con la scusa di un dolore improvviso al piede.Marcello non può resisterle e si ricongiunge quindi alla giovane. La coppia di amanti ritrovati insieme al gruppo di amici, se ne va, lasciando ad Alcindoro la scarpetta e il conto.QUADRO IIILa Barriera d'EnferE' giunto ormai il mese di Febbraio e la neve ricopre qualunque cosa. Le due coppie di giovani amanti scoprono ben presto che la convivenza è impossibile. I litigi tra Marcello e Musetta scatenati dalla gelosia sono ormai la norma, così come le incomprensioni tra Rodolfo e Mimì. Lei viene incolpata di eccessiva leggerezza e infedeltà.Rodolfo ha intuito la malattia di lei, capisce anche che vivere in una soffitta potrebbe peggiorare le sue condizioni.Il ricordo dei bei momenti passati insieme ha però la meglio, e i due rinviano l'inevitabile addio all'ormai prossima primavera.Musetta e Marcello si separano dopo l'ennesima lite.QUADRO IVDi nuovo in soffittaMarcello e Rodolfo, separati ormai da Musetta e Mimì, parlano dell'amore e delle pene che porta con sè. L'atmosfera diventa più giocosa condo sopraggiungono anche Colline e Schaunard. I giochi e le battute, però, servono solo a mascherare la profonda disillusione che i quattro provano realmente.Arriva di corsa Musetta che avverte di aver visto Mimì sulle scale, sofferente.Musetta invia Marcello a vendere i suoi orecchini per comprare delle medicine per Mimì. Lei stessa parte alla ricerca di un manicotto per scaldare le mani di Mimì. Colline decide di contribuire, vendendo il suo amato cappotto.Nella soffitta del loro primo incontro, Rodolfo e Mimì ricordano con tenerezza i giorni del loro amore. Mimì si spegne così, dolcemente, circondata dai suoi amici. Mimì sembra assopita; il primo ad accorgersi della sua morte è Schaunard, che lo confida a Marcello.Rodolfo, una volta accortosi di quanto accaduto abbraccia piangendo la sua amata ripetendo straziato il suo nome.

In this episode I will visit with my dear friends, Julie Wyma and Anastasia Nikolov, founders of Opera Programs Berlin. Both Julie and Anastasia went through traditional conservatory training, and were both taken aback by the insistence that there's only one prescribed path to success in opera.  Their answer to filling the gaps in vocal education was to create http://www.operaprogramsberlin.com (Opera Programs Berlin,) an online and in-person opera academy which has grown exponentially over the last year in the online space. As an educator, Julie's passion lies in helping singers make the transition from student to professional, and in guiding talented people to the places where they are needed. She has served as a vocal coach, preparing singers for auditions and talent competitions, as well as an audition panelist and advisor. With organizations such as Opera Programs Berlin, Dramatic Voices Program Berlin, Irrational Entertainment, Midwest Early Opera Works, Voci Inglesi, Berlin Wagner Gruppe and Berliner Opernverein, she has facilitated performance opportunities for singers seeking additional stage experience and the chance to hone their craft in a supportive, professional environment.

Today I am talking to soprano Henriikka Gröndahl. In our chat we discuss how career trajectories can change over time and the possible influence of relationships and parenthood on negotiating a singing career. Henriikka Gröndahl is a versatile lyric soprano with one foot firmly in the chorus of the Royal Opera House in Stockholm, and the other foot happily freelancing. Her career began with a boom at the Theatre Royal, Glasgow in 2004, when she stepped in as the cover of Mimì in La Bohème. She sang a total of 11 performances of it for Scottish Opera – both at the Theatre Royal in Glasgow and at the Edinburgh Festival Theatre. During her first years out of college, she also sang Pamina for British Youth Opera and Papagena (covering Pamina) for Garsington Opera, followed by a Pamina , Nannetta, Musetta and Julia at Gothenburg Opera in Sweden, Musetta and Princesse at the Royal Opera in Sweden and Fünfte Magd at Liceu in Barcelona, Fiordiligi for Samling Opera and Donna Elvira at Scottish Opera. She has since then stepped in at short notice to sing Liù at Gothenburg opera, Jorun at Vadstena Summer Academy and Olympia/Giulietta/Antonia/ at Folkoperan, where she later also performed Liù. Her latest role was Euredice (Gluck) at Norrlandsoperan, as well as small obscure solo bits and pieces at the Royal Opera in Stockholm. Her career has led her to sing in many countries around Europe, and she frequently performs at chamber music festivals and oratorios, but is nowadays also old enough to engage in other non music related activities like hiking, paddling, hanging out with friends and family, painting, throwing dinner parties and passionately enjoying life!www.henriikkagrondahl.com

Vocalist, Thought Leader, Songwriter, Theatre/Film Producer, and Innovator in Music Education. Alena Bernardi grew up in the suburbs of Detroit, Michigan in a grey brick house that stood on a dirt road with 3 acres of land. In the evenings, as a child, Alena would listen to her mother stumble through and eventually master traditional piano classics from Beethoven to Debussy, while her father would read science fiction novels to her and her brother in the bedroom across the house. At seven, Alena finally had begged her mom and dad enough for lessons that they signed her up. It was around then that the Phantom of the Opera was in the midst of touring around the states, and, at a request to her mother to accompany her in the 2nd grade talent show singing Andrew Lloyd Webber’s classic, Angel of Music, Alena was off to developing an addiction to the style that perfectly blends musical theatre and classical music. Alena co-founded Unicorn Music Academy in January 2020 to open up the young people’s hearts and minds to the music around them and give them the tools they ned to organize their ideas and create freely. Credits include: Fiordiligi in Cosi Fan Tutte, Musetta in La Boheme, Barbarina in The Marriage of Figaro, Lily Garland in On The Twentieth Century, and Rapunzel in Into the Woods.
