Das Badische Staatstheater Karlsruhe zeigt mit Pietro Mascagnis „Cavalleria rusticana“ und Ruggero Leoncavallos „Pagliacci“ ein „unverwüstliches Doppelpaket der Operngeschichte“. Die beiden italienischen Opern gelten als Gründungsakt der veristischen Oper Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts.

More than four years ago, I published my very first bonus episode on Patreon, which I offer here in a fancy new setting and with a wonderful new coda. When I first published an episode on the great Ileana Cotrubaș in honor of her 81st birthday, I promised a bonus episode which would offer further examples of this treasurable artist's plangent and pathos-filled singing. This episode explores delves deeper into Cotrubaș's artistic legacy, examining roles that she took on later in her career, including Elisabetta in Don Carlo, Nedda in Pagliacci, Amelia in Simon Boccanegra, and Desdemona in Otello. In addition, I play excerpts of roles that lay somewhat outside of her normal repertoire, including Tatyana in Yevgeny Onegin, Konstanze in Die Entführung aus dem Serail, and Tytania in A Midsummer Night's Dream. This is followed by two extended live excerpts of her two greatest roles, Mimì in La Bohème and Violetta in La Traviata. The entire episode is capped with an exquisite example of Cotrubaș singing Bach, in anticipation of a new all-Bach episode at the end of the week. 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. By clicking on the following link (https://linktr.ee/CountermelodyPodcast) you can find the dedicated Countermelody website which contains additional content including artist photos and episode setlists. The link will also take you to Countermelody's Patreon page, where you can pledge your monthly support at whatever level you can afford.

Grand Covenant's Fourth Law: A podcast cannot lie. Welcome back to the podcast! Lies of P is definitely a game that turned some heads when it was announced, given that it's based around Pinnochio. Set in a city overrun by automatons, stylized as puppets, who have broken their safeguards and begun attacking people, Lies of P takes its themes and ideas from Pinnochio, along with some of its characters, but not necessarily its plot. In fact, the way it manages to weave this inspiration into the rest of the game is probably its most impressive narrative feat. This is particularly notable that the thing it's weaving these elements into is just a Dark Souls game. More so than any other game we've played, on- or off-air, this really feels like a FROM designed Souls game, or at least very close to it. The combat takes heavy cues from Sekiro and Bloodborne with the healing mechanics and stats from Dark Souls, you can tell the developers have been taking notes. And this can be both good and bad, because the game feels familiar and also very good to play most of the time, but it does also call attention to elements from the games (upgrade materials, consumable items, a prosthetic) that feel more or less necessary for this game specifically. It's a strange experience to some extent, but still a very good one if this style of game is something you already enjoyed. Is this game derivative? A little, for sure, but there is still some novelty to be found, particularly in its aesthetics. This and the combat mechanics that combine the weapon variety of Dark Souls (as well as a unique weapon recombination mechanic) with the satisfying defensive options of Sekiro, mean that as much as this makes you think about where its inspirations came from, as weird as the theme of the game is on its face, and as difficult as the game can be at times, it's still a very good time. We're going to be talking about the integration of the source material into the mechanical identity of the game, how auxiliary mechanics complicate the game both for good and for bad, and how they really should have just called the game Pinnochio. Thank you for listening this week! As you can probably tell, we've been doing a bit of a Soulslike run recently, which we'll be finishing up on pocket next time, but I think it's shown just how diverse this subgenre can be. Lies of P stands out less for its own identity but more for its devotion to the identity of the games that inspired it, and it's a complicated topic to discuss. Do you think this impressive adherence to FROM's catalog will be a positive change for these types of games going forward, normalizing the base gameplay and allowing for more diversity in how those mechanics are utilized and twisted to fit the game at hand, or do you think this is just one direction for the genre to go, with the other elements taking center stage as in games like Lunacid? Let us know in the comments or over on our Discord! Next time, we're going to be sprinting as far as we possibly can in the other direction and talking about Pentiment, so we hope you'll join us then.

In episode 91, hear how former opera singer Suzanne Vinnik designs bold, inclusive fashions that make women “feel seen” and encourage them to take up space for who they are. Knowing first hand what it is like to be exploited working in the arts, Suzanne runs her business differently. Her secret to success both on and off the stage is prioritizing community and personal relationships and paying everyone she works with living wages. Suzanne Vinnik, a distinguished figure in both classical music and the fashion world, boasts a richly diverse career path. Originally traveling the world as an opera singer, Suzanne performed at renowned venues such as Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, and notable opera houses across Europe, Russia, Norway and the United States. As a leading soprano, some of her favorite operas included "Manon Lescaut," Nedda in "Pagliacci," Mimi and Musetta"La bohème," and Violetta "La traviata," captivating audiences with her emotive performances. Parallel to her operatic endeavors, Suzanne embarked on entrepreneurial ventures, founding Shoperatic, a pioneering social media network and marketplace tailored for women in classical music. This platform served as a hub for artists to connect, collaborate, and showcase their talents, solidifying Suzanne's reputation as an innovator within the industry. Users could buy, rent, sell and promote their outside skills. Driven by her passion for fashion and a commitment to inclusivity, Suzanne transitioned seamlessly into the realm of design, launching "byVINNIK," a luxury womenswear brand celebrated for its size-inclusive ethos and ethically manufactured garments. Based in the heart of Los Angeles, Suzanne's designs have graced the frames of Classical Music luminaries, Broadway stars, and prominent figures in television and film. The impact of Suzanne's creations extends beyond the realm of entertainment, with her designs featured prominently on platforms like Disney+, Netflix, and HBOMax's acclaimed series "The White Lotus," on Jennifer Coolidge earning recognition with an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Contemporary Costumes. Her work frequently adorns red carpets, editorial spreads, and stages worldwide, embodying a fusion of sophistication, elegance, and inclusivity. Suzanne holds a Bachelor of Music in Vocal Performance from Texas Christian University, supplemented by studies at prestigious institutions such as Mannes College of Music and Otis College of Design. She further honed her craft at the Opera Studio of Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia in Rome, mentored by the late Renata Scotto, and as an Administration Fellow at The Dallas Opera's Hart Institute for Women Conductors. Beyond her artistic pursuits, Suzanne is a passionate advocate for entrepreneurship, ethical manufacturing practices, and classical music education. Her expertise as a textile connoisseur, style forecaster, and classical music aficionado has positioned her as a sought-after keynote speaker at conferences, and universities, and as an expert for popular TV Shows like Today Show and Access Hollywood. Through her inspiring journey from opera singer to fashion designer, Suzanne empowers women of all backgrounds to embrace their confidence and individuality, embodying the transformative power of artistic expression. In this episode, you'll learn: Why Suzanne left a worldwide career in opera to start a fashion brand The transformative power of owning your boldness and dressing accordingly How Suzanne created a loyal community before she even started her brand How the personal relationships she's built with her clients influences her design decisions Why ethical production and paying fair wages are so important to Suzanne The people on Suzanne's team and what they each do in the business How By Vinnik's production model has changed and why How Suzanne prioritizes her day to not burn out even though she's “bad at boundaries” What Suzanne has learned the hard way about the fashion industry Why Suzanne designs a lot of outerwear for her collection People and resources mentioned in this episode: By Vinnik website By Vinnik Instagram Do you want fashion business tips and resources like this sent straight to your inbox?

#100: Cheating workers from their pay is a common practice at restaurants. In Seattle, a new law has helped lawyers win big settlements for wage and tip theft victims. A mom and pop business engaged in this sort of fraud will probably not get sued, but if your food empire gets too big get ready. Canlis, Tom Douglas, Red Robin, Zeeks Pizza, Lowell's, Great State Burger and Pagliacci have all found out. Who is gonna be next? PLUS: A teen was hit and killed by the Seattle monorail while doing graffiti, which brought the trolls out from the wormwood.

Self love is huge. Our deficit of self love is huge too. Accepting the real is a true test of mindfulness. People with abandonment issues often have difficulty staying in the real, for fear of being let down by the real. This week we are throwing down and singing gimme three steps, gimme three steps mista, gimme three steps to self love. Or, at least help us narrow it down.   Welcome to episode two hundred thirteen of Above Ground Podcast. We are speeding through the summer of 2023 and continue to bring real, raw conversations about mental health from what we deemed the peer-spective. This week is no different. We hope you enjoyed last week's show with our guest, John 'Bloodclot' Joseph. Next week we are joined by Yogi Marc Salvi. Check it out every Wednesday.   Mindfulness is the amusement park of the self. Within these walls resides emotion. Our connection. Our pain and the path to our healing. Our forgiveness. And our letting go. In the bigtop is the circus of life. All it's balancing acts, high flying acrobatics and sometimes a clown falls off their bike or their horn is stuffed. Either way, the clown who is an extra, might lose faith in themselves. When their bucket is empty. The clown blames himself. Our friend might not love himself after. With blame comes shame and Pagliacci may never regain his smile again.    Have no fear, sad clown, Above Ground Podcast has some steps to learning how to love yourself again. Remember mindfulness is a process, a concept. Yes, it's acceptible that a clown, is a clown. Nothing more, and certainly nothing less. It's accepting that as a clown, you're expected to entertain people all the time. No matter how you feel. But, if you're causing yourself suffering by holding onto dreams of being one of the flying trapeze performers, please take the step of letting go. Forgive yourself and accept that you are the greatest clown ever, toot your horn like no one else can. And shout that I am Pagliacci, the horn tootinist', insightful and forgiving mo fo to ever paint a sad face.    Thanks for checking in this week. Please come by Empire Live Albany, this Sunday from 11am-5pm for the next installation of Upstate Punk Rock Flea Market. Come to 93 North Pearl St. Albany, NY, and get your hands and eyes on some of the darkest, coolest, unique items anywhere. It's macabre. Lots of your parents wouldn't approve. Get outta the swamp of 'Toga tierras and come get ya some devil horns, animal remains and beard oil.    Don't forget to come to Central Park Music Haven in Schenectady, NY for NipperFest 2023. Saturday July 22, from 11am-10pm. Come to Central Park and listen to some great 518 music and grab yourself a fistful of mental health resources to share with your neighbors. Be there or wish you were. Thanks for listening to episode two hundred thirteen of Above Ground Podcast. Please subscribe and turn on notifications in order to hear a new episode every Wednesday, four years and growing.  Until next week when we are joined by Marc Salvi, get well, be safe, stay ABOVE.

On this episode of Opera Apéro, I talk to my friend Maxwell (he/him) about Leos Janacek's opera Jenůfa. It's the story of a young woman in a small town in love and pregnant by a man who can't commit. As time progresses, they face the consequences of the decisions made to avoid community shame. We discuss parallels with other operas like Madama Butterfly and Pagliacci, how story meaning can change based on opera director's artistic choices, and we mispronounce many Czech names. This is also the first episode where we play a drinking game along to the opera so tune in to hear how many times we need to take a shot. Play along if you're feeling brave. Let me know what you thought on social media: on Instagram @opera.apero and on Twitter @OperaApero. If you like this show, please consider supporting me through Buy Me a Coffee.

Looking back on it, I feel I was truly fortunate to have grown up during the golden age of rock and roll music. We take it for granted now, but back then, when it first began, no one had any idea what a major cultural phenomenon it would become.           Personally, I got hit with it when I was still pretty young. My brother and I lived in the same room together, but he was eight years older. He was born in 1941 and I was born in '49. So, when he was turning into a young teenager, that wild beat was just starting to shake up the American status quo. Soon it would shake it to its core. The post-war era was in full swing and the uninhibited nature of this music was being looked at as not only revolutionary, but possibly threatening.  And what had begun as just an undercurrent of society eventually turned into a massive tidal wave that would revolutionize the entire western world            My brother, along with the 70 million other baby boomers who were on the verge of their teen years, went absolutely nuts for it. He had a little record player with a huge number of 45 rpms, and they were playing in our room all the time. I was six years old and the incredibly lively beat jitterbugged its way into me - body, mind, and soul. But there was also a little bit more to it. Along with their free-spirited sounds, certain songs would carry some deeper meanings as well, themes that would subtly take you to some unexpected places.  You would be singing along, the lyrics would find a home in your mind, and after a while, you would subconsciously start learning something new about being alive.           It used to happen to me all the time. For example, there was this one song by the Motown group Smokey Robinson and the Miracles called “Tears of a Clown.” It was a big hit about someone who was broken-hearted because his girlfriend had just left him. Now, heartbreak is of the most common themes in popular music and it seemed like I had heard a million songs about it. But Smokey gave it a little twist by singing about putting on a false face to hide inner pain.           In one part of the lyric he wrote: Just like Pagliacci did I try to keep my sadness hid. Smiling in the public eye But in my lonely room I cry The tears of a clown When there's no one around. Now they're some sad things known to man But ain't too much sadder than The tears of a clown when there's no one around           As a side note, neither I nor any of my friends understood what those words were at the beginning of the verse. It was just a blur until one day a deejay explained that Smokey was referencing a famous Italian opera from the late 19th century called Pagliacci, which was about a tragic clown.  Until then, nobody had any idea what that first line meant.             Anyway, the idea of someone putting on a show to hide their pain, smiling on the outside while crying within, hit me a little deeper than I had noticed at first. It's not as though I had never heard the idea before, but there was something deeply touching about this one particular song. The music was upbeat, like it belonged in the circus, but the words were really sad.  And the difference between the two really drove the point home. That, along with the utter hopelessness in Smokey's voice made the message all the more pathetic.            I was still in high school back then, but the idea of a clown crying in private- that the outside is not necessarily a true reflection of the inside-stayed with me over the years, especially as I started to get involved with consciousness evolution and my own inner growth. At one point, I came upon something that certain ancient traditions called “maya,” which is a general term that simply means illusion. Its basic idea is that much of what goes on in the world of human activities is just that – an illusion, a façade.  It's simply not what it appears to be.           Like a mirage in the desert, which appears to be a bountiful, green oasis off in the distance…but when you finally get there, instead of coming upon cool shade and healing waters, to your deep disappointment the visual image evaporates and you find nothing there but more heat and dry sand. In the same way, many contemplative traditions have taught that the things we find so attractive in the external world, like wealth, status and fame, to name a few, are like that. We get caught up in our various pursuits, chasing after situations that we think must be fulfilling. But when we finally arrive at our destination, we find that the attractive image was just a mirage, a form with no substance, and our lofty hopes are replaced by deep despair. We may try to put on a false face, and whether or not it's convincing, a lot us are hiding behind the masks we are wearing on our faces. Around the time I was processing all of this, I came across a unique story that used some comic irony to help illustrate the point. I had begun reading some of the works of an author named Carlos Castaneda, whose books mainly focused on a South American form of metaphysical knowledge. Castaneda was supposedly an apprentice to a Mexican sorcerer and part of the charm of his books is his sense of awe mixed with a certain sense of humor that reveals more than you might realize at first.           This story takes place in a psychotherapist's office in a large city, when a new patient comes in to see the therapist for the first time.   “Doc,” the man said, “You have to help me. I am totally unhappy. I'm in a state of complete misery every day.”           “Okay, let me give it a try by asking you a few questions,” the doctor said. “Are you married? Do you have a family?”           “Yes, yes I am,” the man replied. “I have a wonderful wife and three terrific kids. Everything is good at home. That's not the problem.”           “Well, what about money? Are you worried about your finances? Do you make enough to be comfortable?”           “Yes, I do. I'm fine, there Doc. I have plenty of money.” The man paused for a moment. “It's just that I'm so unhappy all the time. I feel miserable and I just can't shake it.”           “Maybe you're afraid of dying, “the doctor suggested. “Is it the fact that we're all mortal and that death is inevitable? Is that getting you down?”           “Well, I have to be honest with you,” the man replied. “I don't love the idea of dying, but I don't find it to be particularly troubling. Death is just a natural part of life.”           For the rest of the hour, the doctor kept asking questions and offering different suggestions to the man, but none of his ideas gained any traction. Finally, the doctor suggested that the man try to take in some entertainment to at least help take his mind off  his problem, maybe lighten things up a little. But the man said he had tried going to the theatre, seeing dance and musical recitals and nothing had done the trick for him.           “What about some comedy,” the doctor asked. “Maybe you should go see someone who is really funny. That can help a lot, even if it just gets you some short-term relief.”           “I don't think so Doc,” the man said. I'm way too depressed for any comedy to help me. I can't imagine laughing at anything.”           “I don't know. Maybe you should just give it a try.” the doctor persisted. “I hear there's this hysterical comedian that's been playing sold out performances in one of the major theatres in town. Three of my saddest patients have gone in to see him and they all said he was incredibly funny. His light-hearted approach really helped pull them out of the doldrums.”           “I don't know,” the man said and thought about it for a moment. “What's this comedian's name?”            “He's called The Great Rodrigo,” the doctor said.           “Oh boy, Doctor, I'm in real trouble now,” the man said sadly. “You see, I am The Great Rodrigo.” So, Castaneda created quite a compelling story here about the tears of a clown. The Great Rodrigo, the man who is lauded for having the cure for sorrow is actually sadder than everyone else.  I found that particularly meaningful because it's so easy to assume that a person who has the trappings of a successful life is actually happy, especially when that person has something you wish you had. It made me go back to considering the idea of maya, the illusion that seems so prevalent in the world of human activity. And fortunately, when it comes to maya, I found that the Wisdom of the Ages has something encouraging to say. It teaches that along with the fact that there is a fake world filled with false, temporary pleasures that leave us empty and sad, there is also a real world that is filled with real treasures that leaves us full. Actually, it never leaves us at all, we leave it. And the trick is to learn how to choose between the two worlds - the false and the true.      They say the illusion of the world is just a shadow, a dark reflection of the real thing. It's like when you're outside on a bright sunny day with the sun at your back and you see your shadow projected right front of you. Although your shadow has your exact shape and moves exactly like you do, it is not real. Your body is real. It is a presence. But your shadow is not. It is just an absence, the absence of light in a shape that matches your body. So, there's the real and there's the fake, and it's up to us to choose which one we want. Sometimes the choice can be a no-brainer.  Like if you're sitting in an ice cream parlor and the waiter delivers you your hot fudge sundae, and you notice that a ceiling light is casting a sharp shadow of the sundae on the table. Are you going to take your spoon and try to eat the shadow? Of course not. There's nothing there. You can't eat a shadow. It's just form without substance. We all know that. And by the way, the only way a shadow can exist at all is because of the presence of a source of light. Without light there can be no shadows. On a dark, moonless night, you don't see any shadows. But in the daytime, they're everywhere.           So, this practical perspective about reality, illusion and choice was starting to dawn on me as it's message continued to get clear. Put your spoon in your real sundae. Eat it, enjoy it, and be happy. And don't even think about the shadow. Before you know it, you won't even notice it anymore.           Well, that's the end of this episode. As always, keep your eyes, mind and heart opened, and let's get together in the next one.

This weeks guest is Raven Alexis Dales who currently lives in Shawnigan Lake on Vancouver Island, British Columbia. Raven has been working in the Food & Beverage industry since 2011, beginning her career studying culinary arts at Vancouver Community College and working in restaurants in Vancouver & Victoria. While doing so, Raven studied through the WSET program to better understand the relationship between food pairings and beverages. Raven's shift into front-of-house roles was a slow smoulder in the last couple years of her culinary-focused career. Raven wanted a better understanding of all parts of a restaurant—striving towards a better hospitality experience for all, so she began bartending in late 2018. Raven participated in the Nimble Bar Co. school curriculum and learned the ropes at Pagliacci's; an institution in Victoria BC run by Solomon Siegel, along with the mentorship of Shawn Soole. Raven quickly became Head Bartender and helped lead the bar program until early 2020, when she moved on to Veneto Bar and Ristorante. That venture stopped abruptly when Veneto closed permanently amidst COVID-19 restrictions, and in the time since then Raven has found herself tending bar at several establishments throughout Victoria. Raven spent a good deal of that time helping develop the bar program at Wind Cries Mary in Bastion Square, and is currently the bar manager at The Lakehouse in Shawnigan. Raven has also participated in a few bartending competitions: Diageo World Class, Speed Rack, Made with Love and Negroni Week to name a few. Raven's favourite parts about the competition world have been the camaraderie, meeting new people, and how amazing it is to hype and bring your peers up around you!

We're back! Join us for this week's podcast episode where we're joined by Opera in the Ozarks' costume designer, Kim Welborn. We chatted with Kim about her work on Opera in the Ozarks' recent re-envisioned production of The Magic Flute. What makes it re-envisioned? Its eco-conscious spin to the storyline and costumes constructed one hundred percent using trash and recycled materials!Go to https://www.usitt.org/news/technically-speaking-kim-welborn-talks-turning-trash-opera to learn more about Opera in the Ozarks' production of The Magic Flute and see visuals of the costumes discussed during today's episode.Get to know our guest: Kim Welborn is a freelance costume designer and resident designer for Opera in the Ozarks' summer program. Her costume career spans the gamut from historically accurate productions, including clothing for Florida's Quincentennial and the world premiere of My Dearest Friend for the National Park Service Centennial, to a production of The Magic Flute, re-envisioned as an environmental fable and built entirely from trash and recyclables. Recent projects include a 1960's Best Christmas Pageant Ever and All is Calm, the story of the World War 1 Christmas Eve truce. She has designed more than 30 musicals and plays; favorites include A Little Night Music; Hello, Dolly; Evita; The Producers; Paint Your Wagon; South Pacific; Spamalot; the Diary of Anne Frank and Blithe Spirit. Her past several years have focused largely on opera, including Marriage of Figaro, All is Calm, Tales of Hoffman, Don Pasquale, La Boheme, Amahl & the Night Visitors, Hansel & Gretel, and youth company productions for Opera Orlando; Cosi Fan Tutte, Cendrilllon, Lucia de Lammermoor and Little Women (Opera in the Ozarks); Pagliacci and The Birthday Clown (Savannah Opera Company); Pirates of Penzance (International Opera Center) and Dido and Aeneas (University of Northern Iowa).

I spent a while trying to come up with a "Pagliacci the Clown" joke for the description, but being honest, I finished editing this one at 1:40 AM and just wanna go to sleep, so you're just gonna have to use your imagination for this one, guys. This is the clown one. It's not very good. (If you're curious: "But doctor, we ARE the only podcast brave enough to ask the question 'Hey what's up with Cars?'!" was as far as I got)

Adam and Dr. Drew open the show discussing 60 second life in review videos of older actors and what they accomplished in their careers. They also discuss vaudeville and Pagliacci leading to a conversation about music pitting Smokey Robinson's 'Tears of a Clown' against Prince's 'Erotic City' with a very animated Adam giving his thoughts. Drew later circles back to his studies of performers and points out his astonishment that many, if not most of those who succeeded came from affluent backgrounds. They also discuss how that phenomenon translates to very little today with the notable exception of Formula 1 racing. The discussion of racing leads Adam to harken back to his childhood and experiences of going to Malibu Grand Prix with friend's fathers.

In Double Threat's most political episode yet, Tom and Julie revisit the Burger Wars, record an attack ad against Dr Oz, and wade into the generational divide between skiers and snowboarders. Plus Julie shares the scene that made her realize that Total Recall is not for her and Producer Brett puts everyone to sleep with baseball talk. Also the game is afoot, UCB performers doing bits instead of having conversations, being friends with stupid comedians, Pagliacci and other clown stuff, John Wayne Gacy, sports mascots, Robot Urkel, and R2D2.
