I first heard about Colin through a former guest who was deeply moved by an article he had written. Her words piqued my curiosity, and when I finally read Colin's piece, I immediately understood why—it was powerful, honest, and deeply human. We later crossed paths through mutual colleagues, and it became clear that we shared not just a passion for helping others navigate grief, but also the personal experience of child loss. That shared bond drew me to connect with him more personally, and I knew I wanted to invite him onto the podcast. Colin brings a heartfelt and courageous voice to conversations around grief, and I'm honoured to have him here today to share his story, insights, and the wisdom he's gained on his journey through unimaginable loss.About this week's guestColin Campbell is a writer and director for theatre and film.

When his two teenage children, Ruby and Hart, were tragically killed by a drunk driver, Colin was thrown headlong into a grief so deep that he felt he might lose his mind, and he found much of the common wisdom about coping with loss—including the ideas that grieving is a private and mysterious process and that the pain is so great that “there are no words”—to be unhelpful. Join us as Colin shines a light on a path forward through the darkness of grief and empowers us to live more fully while also holding our loved ones close.IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL HEAR ABOUT THINGS LIKE:The tragic accident that took Colin's two teenage children's lives.What a doctor did that became a “beautiful lesson” in Colin's grief journey.Why “there are no words” is akin to the worst thing you can say to someone who is grieving.

Why leaning into pain helps a person to be less fearful and promotes healing. SOME QUESTIONS IRENE ASKS COLIN:Why is it important to take community with you on your journey through grief?What makes grief frightening, and why does it take courage to grieve?Why should anyone who has had a traumatic loss seek therapy? Is therapy always unaffordable, and how can we discern if we need a different therapist?How did you find a way to think once more about a meaningful future and a life with purpose?

In the prime of his illustrious career, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart ran in the realm of prominent, Black visionaries. But after composing “Zaide,” an unfinished opera depicting a slave revolt, Mozart was commissioned to create a work more palatable to the politics and pocketbooks of the late 18th century European upper class.  First heard in Vienna in 1782, “ Abduction” catered to the harsh reality of the times. As is too often the case with operas written during this time, characters of African descent are reduced to racist stereotypes, thereby oiling the wheels of Europe's economic engine — slavery. With this in mind, we ask: what does the future look like for opera as an art form? In this final episode of the four-part radio series, the Every Voice production team goes out to Harlem to find out how today's youth relate to classical music. Join our host Terrance McKnight as he searches for opera's future with composers, musicians, and thinkers of today. “Every Voice” is hosted by Terrance McKnight. The Executive Producer is Tony Phillips. The Executive Producer for WQXR Podcasts is Elizabeth Nonemaker.  Our research team includes Ariel Elizabeth Davis, Pranathi Diwakar, Ian George, and Jasmine Ogiste.

On this episode of The Power of Love Show we welcome special guest, Colin Campbell. Colin Campbell has many roles in life including Husband, Theater Artist, Filmmaker, Author, Teacher, Friend, Brother & Son…but the role he identifies with first and foremost is Dad. So, when his two teenage children, Ruby & Hart, were tragically killed by a drunk driver in 2019, Colin's life and very identity were shattered and he was left to navigate his overwhelming grief and life without Ruby & Hart. After their deaths, Colin would often hear the phrase that many fellow grievers have encountered after a loss: “There are no words”. Although a very common phrase in the grief world, Colin believes that we MUST give words to our loss. Words to articulate our grief and words to share memories of our lost loved ones. In his own grief journey, Colin has found that voicing his feelings, verbalizing his grief and having his community bear witness to his loss were the keys to him moving towards acceptance of his new reality. In his book, ‘Finding the Words: Working Through Profound Loss With Hope and Purpose', Colin puts words to the experience of losing his children and outlines concrete actions a person in grief can take to help them in their struggles. At end of each chapter Colin offers not only these concrete actions, but also journal prompts — that act as a resource rather than a mandatory assignment — and mourning rituals to help spark imagination and inspire readers to create rituals to honor their own grief and lost loved ones. Colin will be joining us to share more about his journey and his book which has been described as a “profound, honest, pragmatic & comforting field guide for each of us searching for a way to live with loss. More about Colin: Colin Campbell is a writer and director for theater and film. The short film he wrote and directed with his beautiful and talented wife, ‘Seraglio', was nominated for an Academy Award. Campbell teaches screenwriting at Chapman University and theater at California State Polytechnic University, Pomona. He has a BA from the University of Pennsylvania and an MFA from Columbia University. He is currently developing a solo performance piece titled ‘Grief: A One Man Shit-Show'.

Today I am honored to be joined by Colin Campbell.Colin is a writer and director for theater and film. The short film he co wrote and directed with his wife Gail "Seraglio" was nominated for an Academy Award.But, if you ask Colin how he would define himself, first and foremost he would say he is a father.On June 12th 2019, Colin's children Ruby and Hart were tragically killed by a drunk driver. As Colin was thrown into grief, he found that the existing dialogue around grief did not provide the support he needed. He was told grief is a private and mysterious process and that the pain is so deep that there are "no words" to describe the pain.Colin decided to take action and he offered out a new path for processing pain that is active, vocal, and truly honors Ruby and Hart.In his new book "Finding the Words", Colin teaches readers how to engage their community, engage in mourning rituals, and find ways to express their grief so they may live more fully while holding on to the ones they love.

With such a dark past, what does the future look like for opera as an art form? From Verdi to Mozart, many of opera's most celebrated works famously reduce people of African descent to racist caricatures and stereotypes with tragic fates. In the final episode of this season of Every Voice with Terrance McKnight: we go in search of opera's future with composers, musicians, and thinkers of today, and turn our attention one more time to Mozart's “Abduction from the Seraglio” to learn from a long-voiceless character. Joined by Dr. Sharon Willis, opera and theater director Peter Sellars, and opera greats Chauncey Packer, Limmie Pulliam, and more. This episode is written, hosted and produced by Terrance McKnight with support from David Norville. The Executive Producer is Tony Phillips. The Executive Producer for WQXR Podcasts is Elizabeth Nonemaker. Our research team includes Ariel Elizabeth Davis, Pranathi Diwakar, Ian George, and Jasmine Ogiste. Sound design and engineering by Sapir Rosenblatt Original music composed by Jeromy Thomas and Ashley Jackson. A transcript of this episode is available on our website: everyvoicepodcast.org

Mozart's “The Abduction from the Seraglio” was first heard in Vienna in 1782, commissioned by Holy Roman Emperor Joseph II to cater to the German-speaking audience of the capital city. Joseph II and Mozart had more in common than just their native tongue. Joseph II championed liberal ideas, equality, and religious freedom, while some experts interpret Mozart's operas as striving to be liberatory. But 1780s Europe was financially entwined with human trafficking, and the ideals of enlightenment and freedom didn't apply to every human.  In “Abduction,” those real-world restrictions — and the ramifications they have for Mozart's characters — are on full display. This week on Every Voice with Terrance McKnight: In “Abduction from the Seraglio,”  Pasha Selim subjects both European  women and men of African descent to servitude within his haram. But their dramatic treatment — which characters get to enjoy escape and victory, and which characters do not — tend to uphold stereotypes of race, class and sex. We hear from the voices of Jennifer Welch Babige as Konstanze and Blonde, Sir Willard White as Osmin, and Nathan Stark as Pasha Selim. This episode is written, hosted and produced by Terrance McKnight with support from David Norville.

In the prime of his illustrious career, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart ran in the realm of prominent, Black visionaries, composed the radical (unfinished) opera “Zaide” depicting a slave revolt, and even shared a home with famed Senegalese / French composer Joseph Boulogne, known as the Chevalier de Saint Georges. The Holy Roman Emperor Joseph II, a supporter of Mozart, was also progressive for his time. During his reign, he was known for his religious tolerance, abolition of serfdom, and public friendship with Angelo Solimon, a man of African descent.But having Black friends doesn't mean you're willing to sacrifice political standing and a payday. And though both men may have dreamed of a better world, “The Abduction from the Seraglio,'' commissioned by Joseph II,  catered to the harsh reality of the times, oiling the wheels of Europe's economic engine — slavery. This week on Every Voice with Terrance McKnight: Sir Williard White as Osmin, the enslaved eunuch, and Soprano Jennifer Welch-Babidge as Blonde navigate the fiction of race as two enslaved characters in “The Abduction from the Seraglio.”This episode is written, hosted and produced by Terrance McKnight with support from David Norville.

All too often, characters of African descent in operas written during the 18th and 19th centuries are defined as the institution of slavery and the idea of inferiority.  But today's composers, like Dr. Sharon Willis, aim to write about Black life in order to uplift the community where she lives and works. She says she has “no use” for the depiction of Black people as “buffoons or vixens or mammies.” This week on Every Voice with Terrance McKnight: we return to Dr. Willis's music, and hear about a 19th century African American family that inspired one of her sixteen operas. And by contrast, we'll discuss Mozart's opera “The Abduction from the Seraglio," in which he explores the theme of slavery and freedom, however freedom is a birthright for some, not for all.  Correction made on May 14, 2023: This episode was updated clarify that Holy Roman Emperor Joseph II commissioned Mozart's opera “Abduction from the Seraglio.”This episode is written, hosted and produced by Terrance McKnight.

Kathryn interviews Author Susan Verde.Many of us have an inner critic, a voice that tells us we're not good enough—as a friend, a child, a parent—and it can be a battle of wills and perseverance to tame that internal chatter. NY Times bestselling author and mindfulness expert, Susan Verde, has wrestled with this struggle for decades. Yoga, meditation, and mindfulness practices became her way of challenging and quieting her internal faultfinder as she experienced loss, divorce, and parenthood.

We begin with a famous (and very beautiful) aria from the Abduction from the Seraglio K. 384 by Wolfgang Amadé Mozart (Mozart nerd alert: he never called himself “Amadeus,” ever, and we aren't going to either). It's from the beginning of Act 3, as the tenor hero, Belmonte, prepares to rescue his kidnapped bride Konstanze and her companion Blöndchen from the palace of Basha Selim. We are in an obviously sticky–and potentially deadly–situation. The music, beginning with a serene yet at times painfully dissonant introduction in the winds, takes listeners to a different place, where, although time moves at different speed, things sound absolutely familiar.Much ink has been spilled on Mozart's relationship to the music of his native Austria's near neighbours, the Turks. Tom suggests here that, in the late eighteenth century, the sound of the Islamic world was not far away at all, especially not from Vienna, the city in and for which Mozart wrote the Abduction. In fact, while writing the opera Mozart was living right in the middle of an unstable and fluid borderland between the “West” and its Ismamic “others.” The Ottoman Empire was only a few days' journey away. Today you could cover the distance in a matter of hours. In fact if you map the performances of the Abduction in its early years, you see the routes of the traveling troupes who made the opera a hit across Europe heading closer and closer to the Islamic world that lay on Mozart's doorstep. Thinking about Belmonte's aria as a musical sign of the “in-between” opens up new historical perspectives on a beloved opera and, potentially, on how sound divides (or links) people who share the occupation of geographical spaces.The theme of shared space takes us East for our second postcard, to contemporary Singapore. Drawing on recent fieldwork by the Singapore musicologist Tong Soon Lee, Chris explores how the Islamic call to prayer, repeated five times daily across the Muslim world, delineates sonic space in the city-state, which, like the borderlands of Austria two centuries previously, has a long history complicated by empire, commerce, migration and ethnic/religious diversity. The difference is that cities are smaller, tighter, and sonically far more dense than are the sprawling pastures, fields, and forests of agriculture. In the urban cityscape, borders can be perceived between neighborhoods, streets, or even individual people in their houses. Since independence, Singapore's semi-democratic/semi-authoritarian government has found itself playing the role of sonic referee, seeking to leave room for the city's Islamic majority population to live their beliefs in public via the Call to Prayer, while preserving a soundscape with uninvaded spaces for everyone. Referencing Lee, Chris talks us through how the Call to Prayer itself has implicated contested claims to  public religious sound in Singapore's multi-ethnic environment, and the ways that new conceptions of “space,” technology, and privacy yield renewed modes of religious expression. In Singapore, via the direction/redirection of the Call's loudspeakers (first outward toward the city, and then later inward toward the mosque), and subsequently via the broadcast of the Call, on its five-times-daily schedule, on radio and then television, Muslims can enter shared sonic space–a “virtual mosque” whose religious community is real and renewed. When competing imperial, democratic, or authoritarian soundscapes collide, as Tom suggested and Chris elaborates, there are no easy answers. But some of the solutions, both past and present, offer fascinating clues to how sound makes, unmakes, and reinvents community.In a fascinating preview of an upcoming episode, Chris and Tom pivot to a related discussion of the power of electronic media–and specifically of radio–to create not only a shared “virtual” environment (for Muslim worship, for example) but even a new national identity. Colonial and postcolonial sounds are a key theme in the podcast, so we chat briefly about the great singer Umm Kulthum (1898-1975), an icon of modernizing Egypt who used powerful Cairo-based radio, and then television and film, to forward a vision of the nation whose political power its second president, Gamal Abdel Nasser (1918-70) himself recognized and exploited. On Thursday nights during her broadcasts, traffic would halt in the streets, and shops would open their doors, as the broadcast voice of Umm Kulthum poured forth across the Arab world, literally sounding a new Egyptian nation into being.When competing imperial, democratic, or authoritarian soundscapes collide, as Tom suggested and Chris elaborates, the sonic consequences can be complex. But listening carefully to sound as history, both past and present, can offer fascinating clues to how what we can hear makes, unmakes, and reinvents community.Key PointsIt is easy to fall into overly black-and-white categories when thinking about how people define themselves in sound. If you take a closer look, mapping soundworlds across political spaces, sometimes you can come to surprising and historically enlightening conclusions.Mozart's Abduction from the Seraglio K. 384 (1782) is sometimes thought of as an “East vs. West” kind of piece. We argue that the opera can also be understood to reveal how much the European and Islamic worlds had in common, and–even more significantly–how much they saw themselves as sharing a common geography.Contemporary cities yield complex soundscapes. Attempts to regulate public religious sound, for example the Islamic call to prayer in Singapore, indicate how delicate the politics of a shared soundscape can be.Electronic media has a huge power to make new identities across borders, and disrupt older ones. One great example is the Arab-language singer Umm Kulthum, whose special brand of song and music played an enormous role in the birth of Egypt as a nation after decolonization.ResourcesIf you are interested in mapping eighteenth century music, run, don't walk, to the Twitter feed of the music historian Austin Glatthorn (@AJGlatthorn).The work of Tong Soon Lee, who teaches at Lehigh University, is indispensable to understanding the soundscapes of contemporary Singapore.The Guardian UK has a good retrospective biography of Umm Kulthumm, and of her continuing symbolic impact across the East.Charles Hirschkind's The Ethical Soundscape: Cassette Sermons and Islamic Counterpublics presents a complementary and sophisticated “take” on the use of another modern technology, the audio cassette, as a means of virtual community in the modern world.The go-to book on Mozart's use of Turkish musical materials is Matthew Head's, Orientalism, Masquerade and Mozart's Turkish Music.You can't go wrong with the classic 1987 recording of the Abduction from the Seraglio conducted by Georg Solti and featuring stars such as Editha Gruberová, Kathleen Battle, and Hans Zednik. Available on Apple Music and many other services.Speaking of strange and wonderful productions of the Abduction, we highly recommend the Pacific Opera Project's 2016 Star Trek (!) version.All of the books mentioned in the episode can be found in our Sounding History Goodreads discussion group.

Today I am talking to tenor Karl Marx Reyes. During his studies as a pre-med student he was scouted for the chorus of Seattle Opera. Karl  now holds a hybrid position performing compramario & featured roles. In our talk we discuss the career from the perspective of the opera chorus and how Karl's experience in medicine not only enabled him to maintain a long career in opera but also how it created a safety net for him particularly during the pandemic.Karl Marx Reyes is a Filipino/American tenor trained in the Pacific Northwest. Reyes made his Seattle Opera debut as a Contadino in Leoncavallo's Pagliacci, followed by his roles as the Messenger in Verdi's Aida, the NVA Lieutenant Commander in the world premiere of Daron Hagen's Amelia and, most recently, the Wig Maker in Richard Strauss's Ariadne Auf Naxos. Other roles include Remendado in Bizet's Carmen, John Styx & Orpheus in Offenbach's Orpheus in the Underworld, Pedrillo in Mozart's Abduction from the Seraglio, Goro in Madama Butterfly, Rodolfo in Puccini's La Bohème and Ferrando in Mozart's Così fan Tutte. Reyes has been a proud member of the Seattle Opera Chorus for the past two decades.http://www.seattleoperablog.com/2013/10/meet-our-singers-karl-marx-reyes.htmlhttp://www.seattleopera.org/bios/index.aspx?name=karl_reyesMSVideo Clip: Seahawks National Anthem

On this episode, we jump back into Nauvoo Mormonism. We begin with discussing the realm of politics in the 1840s. Jo’s political chess didn’t begin in Nauvoo, but Nauvoo was where he ramped up his game and moved to the ranks of political chess master. Jo had an incredible ability to curry the favor of powerful politicians and influential business owners who regarded Nauvoo as a tourist town on the Mississippi. Then we discuss how polygamy and the practice of “spiritual wifery” required a system of organization and ascendency for Nauvoo sex workers. The results are worthy of note and degrading to the women who were regarded as property.

Without water the mill cannot turn.―Jalāl ad-Dīn Muhammad Rūmī, Hidden Music Ali ibn Ubayd said, “Yahya ibn Muadh wrote to Abu Yazid, ‘I am intoxicated with how much I have drunk from the cup of love.’  Abu Yazid wrote back to him, ‘Someone else has drunk the oceans of the heavens and the earth and his thirst is not yet quenched.  His tongue is hanging out and he is asking, 'Is there any more?’" ―Al-Risalah: Principles of Sufism, Al-Qushayri The blossoming of spirituality and the development of the consciousness is founded upon divine eroticism and the creative sexual energy: the most potent force available in the universe. This lecture elaborates upon the spiritual, symbolic, and erotic language of the Sufis, or how the soul achieves unification with the divine through the union of husband and wife.  Learn also about the secret meaning of the Wedding of Cana, Jesus' instructions to Nicodemus regarding the second / spiritual birth, and the teachings of Bacchus / Dionysus through Mozart's Opera: The Abduction from the Seraglio.

In Sidenote, Opera San José director of marketing and development (and retired opera singer) Aaron St. Clair Nicholson sits down with members of the opera world about the work of putting a production on the stage. In this episode, Nicholson talks with Michael Shell, directing of OSJ's season opener, Mozart's The Abduction from the Seraglio.

He made his OSJ debut as stage director of Rossini’s The Italian Girl in Algiers in the 2014-15 season. Mr. Shell’s “visionary” and “masterful storytelling” is steadily leading him to be one of the most sought after directors in the United States. His “thoughtful and detailed score study” is shown in character development and relationships onstage as well as the complete visual world he creates. Shell has directed productions for Atlanta Opera, Pittsburgh Opera, Michigan Opera Theater, Opera Omaha, Opera Tampa, Opera North, Virginia Opera, Santa Fe Opera, Wexford Festival Opera, and Opera Theatre of St. Louis. He made his international directing debut at the Wexford Festival Opera in 2010 with a production of “Winners,” by American composer Richard Wargo and returned the next fall to direct Double Trouble – Trouble in Tahiti & The Telephone. He has written and directed three cabarets, including All About Love and The Glamorous Life – A group therapy session for Opera Singers, both for Opera Theatre of Saint Louis. Shell holds a BM and MM in Music/Vocal Performance from the University of North Carolina School of the Arts. He was a Corbett Scholar at The University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music, as well as studying Acting and Scene Study on a school awarded scholarship at the internationally renowned H.B.

Omar Crook of "Living with A Genius" interviews bass Morris Robinson, recently seen in LA Opera's production of Mozart's "The Abduction from the Seraglio."

Tenor, Brenton Ryan is my guest this week. He's a swell guy, as all-American as you can get and is one heck of a good artist. He's recently made his Met debut singing the role of Pedrillo in Mozart's Abduction from the Seraglio- the same show we're performing right now at LAO. Brent is a well-spoken gentleman, and I'm very glad we got the chance to sit around and chat. Thanks for listening and I hope you enjoy the conversation!

Opera Columbus presents Mozart's The Abduction from the Seraglio in an updated staging, complete with James Bond, dry martinis, beautiful people and villains just waiting to be vanquished.

Jessica Gonzalez-Rodriguez is an opera singer and dancer. We discuss what it’s like to train as a professional singer, what a career in opera is like, and why opera is better than Broadway musicals and how she ended up in a Star Trek themed production of Mozart’s “The Abduction from the Seraglio.” The Young Pope is gloriously insane and most likely infallible. RIP Ringling Brothers (& Barnum and/or Bailey). Apple has announced a new “Theater Mode” for the iPhone - who asked for this? Taco Bell did something, so of course we need to discuss it.

Find out more and get an exclusive lithograph through StarTrek.com.   You've never heard Mozart until you've heard it in the original Klingon We all know that you've never heard Shakespeare until you've heard it in the original Klingon. But what about Mozart? Apparently all of our great creatives originated on Qo'noS! At the Southern Illinois Music Festival, June 27 - 29, a cast of professional actors will be putting a Star Trek twist on Mozart's The Abduction from the Seraglio. The comic opera will be "enhanced" by the presence of Kirk, Spock, Uhura, Klingons, and even an Orion slave girl.  Find out more on The Southern.
