Here's a Thought… #2719 with Brooks Jensen Blade Runner and Puccini's Butterfly Do you ever go back and revise a previously finished image or project? I don't. Maybe I should. Sometimes, great artists do. For example, there are five different versions of Blade Runner, one of my favorite movies. Puccini made several substantial revisions of his opera, Madame Butterfly. Ansel Adams made a dozen or so different versions of Monolith, Face of Halfdome. If such great artists believe they can improve their previous work, why would we think we can't?

durée : 00:05:20 - par : Suzanne Gervais - À l'occasion de sa 8ème édition, le Festival de l'harmonium en Bourbonnais continue de faire vivre et découvrir un instrument méconnu, l'harmonium, à travers cinq concerts de musique de chambre, de Dvorak à la musique française en passant par Frescobaldi, Puccini et Donizetti. - équipe : Jeanne Lerch, Désirée Ristorto, Julia Macarez Vous aimez ce podcast ?

A further celebration of great French singers today, featuring one of the greatest of them all, tenor Georges Thill (1897 – 1984). But as always with Countermelody, there's a difference: Most of Thill's recordings are, indeed, in French, and he is such a masterful purveyor of the language that it is always a delight to hear him sing in his native tongue. However, and here's the “French Twist” of the episode's title, though Thill sings entirely in French in this episode, at no point is he singing music that was originally set in French. Whether the original language be German (Wagner, Flotow, Lehár, Schubert), Italian (Verdi, Puccini, Leoncavallo), even English and Russian: it's all sung here in French translation. It makes for a fascinating program and proves that Thill was just as effective a Verdian and Wagnerian as he was in the French operatic repertoire. Vocal guest stars include the Belgian baritone José Beckmans and the exceptional French soprano Germaine Martinelli. Countermelody is the 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 author 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.

I return to Countermelody‘s Salut à la France miniseries with a tribute to the Monaco-born French-naturalized tenor, Alain Vanzo (1923-2002). There was simply no more elegant a tenor (or any singer!) in the French operatic repertoire (and beyond) than Vanzo in his glory days in the 1960s and 1970s. I have chosen a setlist which presents him, in his core repertoire (Gounod, Massenet, Lalo), sounding truly exquise, but I also show him in music for which he was less-celebrated, but equally compelling, everything from Mozart, Rossini, and Puccini, to Mascagni and even Giordano, with even more delicious surprises along the way. Special thanks to my friend Olivier, for specifically requesting this episode. In preparing it, I became a Vanzo admirer to an all-out raving Vanzo fan girl. In listening to this, you may well find yourself in the same place that I did! Countermelody is the podcast devoted to the glory and the power of the human voice raised in song.

It's starting to get cold in Sydney. Ayako Ohtake, a Sydney-based Japanese soprano singer, has selected a song from an opera that truly captures the spirit of winter. This piece was composed by A. Catalani, a highly talented and significant composer often overshadowed by Puccini. On the radio, we'll be presenting it sung by Maria Callas, one of the greatest divas in the history of opera. Ayako hosts monthly music segment called VIVA! Opera for SBS Japanese. - 寒くなってきたシドニー。冬らしいオペラから、様々なディーヴァたちによって歌い継がれてきた名曲を取り上げました。天才プッチーニと同世代でその陰にかくれがちですが、才能あふれる重要な作曲家カタラーニの作品です。

The concept of memento mori—remembering that we are mortal—is often viewed as morbid or macabre. But for those who embrace it, acknowledging the brevity of life isn't about dwelling on the end; it's about celebrating every single moment we have.In this episode, I share a very personal journey that has been years in the making: the process of choosing a final resting place and designing a gravestone for my mother, my husband David, and myself. From the historic hills of Oakland's Mountain View Cemetery to the granite peaks of the Sierra Nevadas, this story is about more than just logistics—it's about values, intentionality, and the peace that comes with being prepared.Whether it's establishing a plan for companion animals or choosing local, sustainable materials for a memorial, we explore how end-of-life decisions are ultimately for the living. It is a gift of clarity for those we leave behind and a final opportunity to express the passions—from wildlife gardening to music—that define our “one wild and precious life.”In this episode you will learn:* How acknowledging our “expiry date” can lead to a more joyful, grateful, and purposeful daily life.* Why having wills, trusts, and even “house-sitter instructions” for death makes the grieving process easier for survivors.* The environmental differences between traditional fire-based cremation and “green” water-based alkaline hydrolysis.* Why we moved away from a remote “green forest” burial in favor of a historic, local cemetery we visit and love.* My six-year journey to overcome the “paralysis” of designing a memorial and why we chose native California granite over imported stone.* A sneak peek into the symbols and inscriptions—from Puccini lyrics to Mary Oliver quotes—that will represent our lives and our loves.* How having a physical resting place helped navigate the difficult ritual of mourning during the 2020 lockdowns.

Hoy vamos a hacernos una pregunta incómoda: si estos grandes artistas vivieran hoy, en la era de la cancelación, ¿los seguiríamos celebrando igual? ¿Podemos separar al artista de su obra o ya no? Porque admirar el talento también implica confrontar la historia y no siempre es cómoda, recibimos a Gerardo Kleinburg, escritor, crítico y promotor musical para hablar sobre este tema. 

Statt großer Opernstimmen lässt Klieser Rossini, Verdi und Puccini nur durch den warmen Klang seines Horns sprechen.

In the 5 Things to Know podcast, we break down the essential ideas behind great operas—five quick insights that unlock the story, the music, and why it still matters today.In this episode, assistant director Gregory Luis Boyle joins us to explore Turandot, the final masterpiece of Giacomo Puccini. Opening on April 25, 2026—exactly 100 years to the day after its world premiere—this centennial production revisits one of the world's most iconic operas, featuring the unforgettable aria “Nessun dorma.”This bold new production moves beyond tradition to focus on themes of power, violence, and agency. Set within a striking, abstract world inspired by Bauhaus design, the stage becomes a living puzzle—where Turandot's three riddles are reflected symbolically in the visual language. The result is a fantasy landscape where larger-than-life ideas are expressed through music, movement, and design.For nearly a century, one question has lingered: how should Turandot end? When Puccini died before completing the opera, he left that final transformation unresolved. This production takes on that challenge directly, offering a newly reimagined conclusion drawn from Puccini's own music—an ending that is bold, powerful, and thought-provoking. Whether you're new to opera or returning to this legendary work, these five insights will change the way you experience Turandot.Turandot April 25–May 3, 2026 Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre The Atlanta Opera

The American writer Rachel Eliza Griffiths creates poetry that resonates with music: she writes about her mother cleaning the house while ‘Pavarotti trembled across the terse sunlight of every room.'As well as poetry, she's written a novel, and her most recent book is a memoir called The Flower Bearers. It deals with loss, including the sudden death of her closest friend. She received the news on what should have been the happiest of days – her marriage to the writer Salman Rushdie. And less than a year later, she found herself beside his hospital bed after the knife attack which nearly claimed his life.But this is no misery memoir – there is the joy of finding her voice as a young poet in New York in the 90s, the strength she gains from the writers who have paved the way, and the music that travels with her.Eliza's music choices include music by Schumann, Bach, Puccini and Nina Simone.

Critics say the agreements keep communities in the dark.Hawkins joins us for an update in his reporting. The Artemis II rocket is making its way back from the far side of the moon after a mission where astronauts traveled the furthest ever distance from earth. As it turns out, a piece of Louisiana has been traveling with them. Part of the rocket was made at the Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans, and more than forty Michoud employees traveled to the Kennedy space center last week to watch the rocket launch. Back in July of 2024, we heard from Chandler Sheuermann, a NASA engineer based at Michoud, about Louisiana's contributions to the Artemis II.

Hello, fans and listeners! I am “Óut of the Office” for the next two weeks, hence the tongue-in-cheek title of this episode, the first of four recycled potpourri episodes bringing you four records issued on the pirate label Historical Recordings Enterprises in the 1970s. Two of them (including today's) feature great sopranos of that era, and two of them celebrate “ten top tenors” each. A few years ago, David was preparing to downsize to a new apartment in NYC and one of my tasks was to go through his LPs. In doing so, I discovered the two soprano volumes. Low impact, perhaps, in terms of my prep level, but high calorie in terms of content! Here are some of the greatest sopranos of the 1970s (and earlier) in incendiary live performances which will leave you gasping for air (at least I was!) Included are such favorites of the Opera Queens (of whatever persuasion or orientation) as Montserrat Caballé, Leyla Gencer, Magda Olivero, Renata Scotto, and Beverly Sills in addition to such personal favorites of mine as Ileana Cotrubaș, Sylvia Sass, and Gilda Cruz-Romo. Many of these singers have been featured on their own spotlight episodes on Countermelody but the performances featured here are typical of the pirate releases of the 1970s, rare material in sometimes spotty sound but representing these sopranos at their thrilling best. There's a lot of Verdi, but also some Puccini, Donizetti, and even Mozart. All told a thrilling and rare collection which I am thrilled to share with my pals as I step away from the mic for a couple weeks! Countermelody is the 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 author 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.

Hoy se estrena en el Liceu de Barcelona, en una revisión contemporánea, y por ello, en compañía de Martín Llade, entrevistamos a Àlex Ollé, su director de escena.Escuchar audio

It is a pleasure to welcome singer Dawn Derow to the Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast.   A New Yorker by way of Cape Cod, Dawn has been captivating audiences for more than 17 years with extraordinary versatility, moving seamlessly from Puccini to Brandi Carlile to Broadway and jazz. A graduate of the Boston Conservatory, she has performed on world-class stages including Carnegie Hall, Jazz at Lincoln Center, and London's The Pheasantry, as well as leading New York City venues such as 54 Below, Birdland, The Green Room 42, and the Laurie Beechman Theatre. Beyond New York, she has headlined nationally at the Dakota Jazz Club, Café Centro, Provincetown's Post Office Café, and appeared with the Cape Cod Symphony Orchestra.   Dawn Derow's artistry has earned her three MAC Awards (including Best Female Vocalist and Best Album), a Bistro Award, and glowing reviews for acclaimed shows like Revolution, Legit: A Classical Cabaret, and My Ship: Songs from 1941. Her album My Ship won Best Album at the MAC Awards, with Cabaret Scenes hailing her as “a supremely accomplished artist” with “a remarkable range.” Her acclaimed tribute, Dawn Derow Sings Eydie Gormé (played both at Birdland and 54 below, NYC), was praised for its vocal fireworks and recently played to packed houses, cementing her reputation as one of cabaret's most versatile performers.Equally at home on the theatrical stage, Dawn has starred as Antonia in Man of La Mancha, Cathy in The Last Five Years, Adele in Die Fledermaus, and most recently Francesca in The Bridges of Madison County at the Delray Beach Playhouse — a performance that earned rave reviews and the award for Outstanding Actress in a Mainstage Production (2025). Internationally, she has brought her cabaret artistry abroad with sold-out runs at London's Pheasantry (My Ship, 2023; Women's Work, 2024) and a recent premiere of Because I Can/Porque Yo Puedo in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.Expanding her creative reach, Dawn co-produces Dorothy Dandridge: The Musical and originated the role of gossip columnist Hedda Hopper in its workshop. Offstage, she teaches mobility classes, provides Thai massage, and supports older adults in wellness programs. She divides her time between New York and Florida, returning to Provincetown each summer to perform.   On this episode of The Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast, Dawn Derow spoke about the feeling of performing on Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center's hallowed stages and her latest single, “Everything's Going to Be Alright,” which features a surprise video appearance with Dawn's collaborator, Sean Harkness.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/jake-s-take-with-jacob-elyachar--4112003/support.

Jonathan Larson's Rent premiered at the New York Theatre Workshop on January 26, 1996. The modern rock-opera take on Puccini's La Boheme instantly captivated critics and audiences alike, bringing much-needed attention to the devastating AIDS crisis, inner-city class warfare, drug addition, and featuring bold and unabashed queer characters and storylines. While Larson tragically died the night before the show debuted, his masterpiece would go on to run on Broadway for 12 years, win the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and the Tony Award for Best Musical, gross hundreds of millions of dollars, and create a whole new crop of Broadway stars out of much of its original cast. This year marks the 30th anniversary of the ground-breaking show, so join the Great Pop Culture Debate as we attempt to name the Best Song from Rent. Songs discussed: “La Vie Boheme,” “Will I?” “Today 4 U,” “Out Tonight,” “Rent,” “One Song Glory,” “Goodbye Love” “What You Own,” “Take Me Or Leave Me,” “Santa Fe,” “Without You,” “Tango: Maureen,” “Seasons of Love,” “Another Day,” “Light My Candle,” “I'll Cover You”Join host Eric Rezsnyak and GPCD panelists Bob Erlenback, Curtis Creekmore, and Joelle Boedecker as they discuss and debate 16 of the most powerful songs from this modern Broadway classic.For the warm-up, in which the panel discusses every song from Rent that did NOT make the bracket, become a Patreon supporter of the podcast.To see a video version of the debate, subscribe to our page on YouTube.EPISODE CREDITS:Host: Eric RezsnyakPanelists: Bob Erlenback, Curtis Creekmore, Joelle BoedeckerEdtor: Bob ErlenbackIntro/Outro Music: "Dance to My Tune" by Marc Torch#rent #rentbroadway #rentmusical #musicals #broadway #broadwaymusicals #seasonsoflove #outtonight #lavieboheme #laboheme #idinamenzel #anthonyrapp #tayediggs #jesselmartin #adampascal #jonathanlarson #tonyaward #pulitzerprize #dramadeskSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
