Podcasts about Turandot

Filmmakers Christine La Monte & Maxim Derevianko join Andy to talk about their documentary Ai Weiwei's Turandot. 

On this episode of Center Stage with Mark Gordon, filmmaker Christine La Monte discusses her new documentary Ai Weiwei's Turandot, which follows artist and activist Ai Weiwei as he makes his operatic directorial debut at the Rome Opera House. Known for his fearless art and political engagement, Ai Weiwei reimagines Puccini's classic opera Turandot as a reflection of today's world, where freedom, identity, and resistance collide. La Monte shares insights about working with Ai Weiwei, navigating the impact of the pandemic and the war in Ukraine, and creating a film that explores how art can challenge, provoke, and inspire. 🎧 Center Stage with Mark Gordon is produced in Los Angeles and features conversations with the filmmakers, artists, and storytellers shaping culture today.

“So when we decided to do a documentary to follow Ai Weiwei, we knew, of course, it wouldn't be just a simple opera, and we knew he would bring his own very special and original vision. Because, of course, he is not an opera director. From his point of view, it's a challenge, but from another perspective, it's probably an enrichment for the opera audience because he doesn't follow the rules of opera. And, of course, once you decide to do a documentary about Ai Weiwei, it's in his DNA to be political. Once I started to follow him, the political issues and topics came into the documentary by themselves.”The renowned artist and activist Ai Weiwei has used sculpture, photography, documentaries, and large-scale installations to challenge authoritarian power for decades. But his project at the Rome Opera House, directing Puccini's final opera, Turandot, may be his most powerful fusion of art and politics yet. Puccini's original is a fairy tale set in ancient China about a princess whose riddle game costs failed suitors their lives. But Ai Weiwei transformed this story into a stark reflection of the present, weaving in footage of refugee crises, COVID hospitals, and the Ukraine war—a production that became an urgent act of resistance for its Ukrainian conductor and cast. The opera and documentary are a living document of our turbulent times, embodying Ai Weiwei's belief that 'Everything is Art. Everything is Politics.'The new documentary, Ai Weiwei's Turandot, goes behind the curtain to capture the artistic struggle and emotional weight of making this work—a process that began with one vision and was fundamentally changed by a global pandemic and a major war.My guest is the documentary's director, Maxim Derevianko. He grew up in a family with deep ties to the Rome Opera House, and he offers a deeply personal, intimate look at how in Ai Weiwei's words, “art competes with reality, but art will have the last word.”Episode Websitewww.creativeprocess.info/podInstagram:@creativeprocesspodcast

2022 gab Ai Weiwei in Rom sein Operndebüt mit Puccinis unvollendeter Oper „Turandot“. Die Vorbereitungen der aufwendigen, gigantischen Produktion dauerten zwei Jahre, da die Proben zwischenzeitlich wegen der Covid-Pandemie unterbrochen werden mussten. Der italienische Filmemacher Maxim Derevianko war mit der Kamera über den langen Zeitraum dabei und hat zahlreiche Mitwirkende sowie die Intendanz des Theaters zu diesem besonderen Projekt befragt. Seine Dokumentation „Ai Weiweis Turandot“ kommt am 16. Oktober in die Kinos. Kirsten Liese hat ihn bereits gesehen.

Clara en Sander zijn terug, met een echte meezinger: de monsterhit Nessun Dorma van Giacomo Puccini. En meezingen dat moet je Sander geen twee keren zeggen. Clara kan wel een ijskoud shotje gebruiken bij al dat gekweel. Eerste hulp bij klassiek, over hoe Puccini de Harry Styles van zijn tijd was, zijn grote begrafenis in Brussel en hoe niemand zal slapen in de opera Turandot – en nee, niet omdat het een steamy, wilde nacht is.

Puccini's operas remain some of the most beloved in the repertoire, their soaring melodies and emotional intensity instantly recognisable to audiences worldwide.From the romance and tragedy of La Bohème, to the raw passion of Tosca and the exotic splendour of Turandot, Puccini created worlds of intense drama and unforgettable melody.In this episode we are joined by musician and broadcaster Sandy Burnett as he explores what makes Puccini's music so distinctive and enduring. With insights from musical experts, Sandy uncovers the orchestral colours, vocal writing and dramatic instincts that defined Puccini's genius.Academy Travel is a leading specialist in small-group cultural tours, allowing you to travel with like-minded companions and learn from internationally renowned experts.

Premiering at HotDocs '25, AI WEIWEI'S TURANDOT follows the legendary artist as he seeks to bring the classic opera into the 21st Century. Directed by Maxim Dereviakno, the film is a testament to the power of art and the way that old content can speak to the modern era. In this 1on1, Derevianko speaks to us about reviving ancient stories and the magic of Ai Weiwei.

Dans l'histoire mongole, peu de figures féminines sont aussi fascinantes que Khutulun. Cette princesse guerrière du XIIIe siècle, nièce de Kubilai Khan et fille du puissant Kaidu Khan, était célèbre pour sa bravoure, son talent exceptionnel au combat et surtout… son exigence unique en matière de mariage : pour obtenir sa main, un prétendant devait la vaincre à la lutte.Une guerrière hors du communKhutulun n'était pas une princesse ordinaire. Née vers 1260 dans un empire mongol en pleine expansion, elle grandit dans un contexte où les femmes aristocrates avaient un rôle actif dans la société et parfois même dans la guerre. Fille préférée de Kaidu Khan, un chef influent de la lignée de Gengis Khan, elle reçut un entraînement militaire rigoureux et s'illustra très jeune par sa force physique et ses talents de stratège.Lors des batailles, Khutulun était redoutable : on raconte qu'elle se jetait dans la mêlée, capturant elle-même ses ennemis. Sa réputation de guerrière surpassait celle de nombreux hommes de son époque. Mais c'est surtout par sa maîtrise de la lutte mongole, un sport traditionnel, qu'elle marqua l'histoire.Un défi unique pour les prétendantsSelon les récits, Khutulun refusait de se marier, malgré les pressions de sa famille et des chefs mongols. Mais pour apaiser les attentes, elle posa une condition radicale : elle n'épouserait que celui qui réussirait à la vaincre à la lutte. Chaque prétendant devait miser 100 chevaux avant de l'affronter ; s'il perdait, elle conservait les bêtes.Aucun homme ne parvenant à la battre, Khutulun accumula des milliers de chevaux, constituant ainsi un troupeau impressionnant. Cette exigence ne relevait pas seulement d'un caprice, mais d'une affirmation de son indépendance et de sa supériorité physique, dans une société où la force déterminait souvent le pouvoir.Une fin mystérieuseFace aux rumeurs grandissantes et aux intrigues politiques, Khutulun aurait fini par se marier, mais pas par défaite. Certains récits disent qu'elle choisit un guerrier de son camp, d'autres qu'elle mourut au combat.Son histoire inspira Marco Polo, qui la mentionna dans ses écrits, et plus tard des œuvres modernes, notamment en tant que source d'inspiration pour la princesse Turandot dans l'opéra de Puccini. Khutulun demeure aujourd'hui une figure emblématique de la puissance féminine dans l'histoire mongole. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

Yesterday was the 100th birthday of the sublime Canadian singer, Lois Marshall (29 January 1925 – 19 February 1997). I was sorry to see that there were very apparently few acknowledgements of this momentous occasion. Three years ago, in a Countermelody series on Great Canadian Singers, Lois Marshall was my first subject. If you haven't heard of her (which is entirely possible, given the vagaries of posthumous fame and reputation), you are in for an enormous treat. Possessed of a rare musical scrupulousness, an interpretive honestly, directness, and integrity, as well as a finely-honed dramatic sensibility, Lois Marshall, in a better world, would have graced the world's operatic stages. Alas, she was stricken with polio as a child, and though she managed to gain the ability to walk, staged opera was a genre which she only rarely attempted. Yet she worked with the world's greatest conductors, among them Toscanini, Stokowski, and Beecham, and was a recitalist celebrated the world over. This episode offers an extended yet partial glimpse of the range and variety of her artistry, and includes recordings of arias by both Purcell and Puccini (the title role of Turandot!), Bach and Beethoven, as well as a dazzling array of recital repertoire from Debussy to folk song arrangements. Fellow Canadians Maureen Forrester and Glenn Gould are also featured. I wanted very much to present a brand-new Lois Marshall episode in hono(u)r of her centennial, and I promise you that is in the works, but in the meantime, I listened early this morning to the first Lois Marshall tribute I posted and I have decided to republish it today as I continue to prepare the brand-new episode. Some of today's material, in particular an excerpt from Oskar Morawetz's From the Diary of Anne Frank, which Lois Marshall premiered in 1970, serves as a grim reminder of the United States' further descent into madness and inhumanity, especially since the inauguration of King Ubu. Through the darkness, however, the glorious voice and humanity of Lois Marshall provide us with an ideal example of our better selves.

[@18 min] And then…in Listener Mailbag, we have field reports on all the vocal activity at Carnegie Hall including Song Studio, Friend of the Show Ying Fang with the Orchestra of St Luke's, and Friend of the Show Ryan Speedo Green in recital with pianist Adam Nielsen. [@27 min] Plus, in the ‘Two Minute Drill'…there *is* good news for 2025. Soprano Lise Davidsen has announced she is having twins!

Mit "Nessun dorma" enthält diese Oper Puccinis wohl größten Hit. Doch die Geschichte von der eiskalten Prinzessin und ihren lebensgefährlichen Rätselfragen ist keine leichte Kost: Unter der Oberfläche lauern die Abgründe. Mit seiner letzten Oper suchte der Komponist Anschluss an die Moderne und hinterließ ein geniales Fragment. Von Michael Lohse.

While I was growing up, Gilda Cruz-Romo was a fixture on the stage of the Metropolitan Opera. At the time, I did not fully appreciate her, as I thought of her as a second-string singer on the roster. I saw her once on the Met tour as Desdemona opposite Jon Vickers, but for reasons none too flattering to me, I undervalued her. In recent years, however, I have completely revised my opinion, and now think that Gilda Cruz-Romo was both the most significant Mexican soprano ever to appear on the world's stages, but also simply one of the finest lirico-spinto sopranos of the twentieth centuries. Fortunately there are many people that agree with me, including some devoted fans who have posted an extraordinary number of live recordings of the artist on YouTube and elsewhere. And this is especially helpful because, incredibly, Cruz-Romo never made any commercial recordings. This episode fully explores the career and repertoire of our subject for today, and includes performances of the soprano in her core Verdi and Puccini repertoire (including such surprises as Odabella, Lady Macbeth, and Turandot!), as well as less expected forays into Mozart and bel canto. Throughout her virtues shine forth: a plangently beautiful voice with a particularly radiant top wedded to an incredibly secure technique, which afforded her enormous flexibility and coloratura facility. Added to this, and paramount to her artistry, is a dedication to her craft and to music which sweeps all before it and raises her work into the realm of the sublime. I think of this episode (the last completely new episode I'll be putting out this season) as a pre-birthday tribute, as the diva turns 85 years old on February 12, 2025. Other singers heard on the episode are tenors Carlo Bergonzi, Colenton Freeman, and John Alexander, and baritone Matteo Manuguerra; among the conductors are Zubin Mehta, Nicola Rescigno, Riccardo Muti, Peter Maag, and Julius Rudel.

Humanities West and the Italian Cultural Institute celebrate the life and art of Giacomo Puccini (December 22, 1858 to November 29, 1924) on the 100th anniversary of his death. His operas La Bohème, Tosca, Madama Butterfly and Turandot are among the most beloved and most often-recorded operas of all time. His arias are famous for both their emotional resonance and their melodic beauty—even among millions who have never listened to a complete opera. Puccini was born into a centuries-old family of Italian composers, and he began his successful career just as Verdi was completing his, quickly inheriting Verdi's renown as the greatest living composer of Italian opera. We have brought the internationally praised scholar and musicologist Gabriele Dotto from Italy to share the stage with San Francisco Opera's favorite Kip Cranna to tell some of the stories behind the composition of Puccini's heavenly arias. Giacomo Puccini and the Impact of Early 20th Century Media Gabriele Dotto will trace the rapid rise of sound recordings and film as competitors for opera theaters and the traditional business of music publishers. Puccini and his publisher, Casa Ricordi, demonstrated an extraordinary combination of artistic creation and commercial activity, using new and efficient strategies to market Casa Ricordi's opera repertoire to a globally expanding audience and “branding” Puccini as the publishing house's most iconic composer. Puccini Before Fame: The Composer in His Youth Clifford (Kip) Cranna will discuss Puccini's boyhood experiences, his musical training and his operatic influences. Cranna will demonstrate that some of the music Puccini wrote as a student was eventually recycled in his later operas. He will also concentrate on Puccini's first two operas, the rarely performed Le Villi and Edgar, which were composed before his first big hit Manon Lescaut—the beginning of his enduring fame and operatic stardom.

Andrés Amorós cierra el ciclo dedicado a Puccini con Trittico (una colección de tres óperas) y Turandot.

Kitsch oder Kult? Kolportage oder Kunst? Wie auch immer: Giacomo Puccinis "La Boheme", "Tosca" und "Turandot" ziehen bis heute die Menschen in die Opernhäuser der Welt. Puccini war Weltstar, Schwermütiger, Auto- und Techniknarr, eine vielseitige, oft widersprüchliche, immer aber faszinierende Figur. Von Christian Schuler

Christopher Tin is an award-winning and genre-bending classical composer whose work has been featured in a variety of settings and media, from august concert halls to the world of video games. His orchestral piece “Baba Yetu,” which Christopher originally composed for the game “Civilization IV,” was the first ever musical work written for a video game to win a Grammy Award. It has since become a staple in choral and orchestral venues. He received his second Grammy for his debut album, “Calling All Dawns,” a multilingual song cycle. Christopher has been as adventurous in his producing as he has been in his composing. He turned to Kickstarter to help him create his subsequent two albums, “To Shiver the Sky” and “The Lost Birds,” both of which explored ecological themes. Through his crowdfunding, he not only raised all the funds necessary to pull off both expensive projects but also deepened his relationship with his many ardent fans while making new ones, bringing them along on intimate tours through his entire creative and production process. “The Lost Birds,” which features the acclaimed British vocal ensemble VOCES8, was nominated for a 2023 Grammy and has been performed all over the world. This past spring at the Kennedy Center, the Washington National Opera premiered Puccini's unfinished masterpiece “Turandot” with a new ending composed by Christopher and written by Susan Soo He Stanton. The production and its new ending was a hit with critics and audiences alike.In this interview, Christopher reveals how after decades of experimentation and success he's finally stopped worrying whether his work was too popular to please the classical-music establishment, and he explains how he's cultivated a legion of fans who encourage him to take ever bigger risks.https://christophertin.com/

En este episodio de La Teoría de la Mente, nos sumergimos en una de las óperas más fascinantes de todos los tiempos: Turandot de Giacomo Puccini, y reflexionamos sobre temas universales como el orgullo, las pruebas que imponemos a los demás y la disonancia cognitiva. Primero, hablaremos sobre cómo el orgullo puede convertirse en una armadura emocional que nos protege del dolor, pero que también nos aísla del amor y las conexiones genuinas. Inspirados en la figura de la princesa Turandot, exploraremos las razones detrás de esta actitud y cómo podemos reconocer este comportamiento en nuestras propias vidas. Luego, reflexionaremos sobre la tendencia a poner pruebas a los demás para validar su amor o merecimiento. A través de ejemplos como los pretendientes de Turandot, analizaremos por qué nos cuesta confiar y cómo esta necesidad de control solo genera ansiedad, frustración y relaciones poco saludables. Finalmente, abordaremos el concepto de disonancia cognitiva, explicando cómo nuestras creencias y acciones muchas veces entran en conflicto, y cómo esto puede bloquear nuestro crecimiento personal. Compartiremos estrategias prácticas para enfrentar estos conflictos internos y aprender a aceptar tanto nuestras imperfecciones como las de los demás. Acompáñanos en este episodio lleno de lecciones poderosas sobre el orgullo, el amor y la autenticidad. ¡No te lo pierdas! ✨ 25 palabras clave: Turandot, Giacomo Puccini, Nessun Dorma, disonancia cognitiva, orgullo, relaciones, pruebas, ansiedad, autoconocimiento, vulnerabilidad, confianza, control, amor, sacrificio, ópera, Calaf, Liù, enigmas, crecimiento personal, autoaceptación, Groucho Marx, Cervantes, Rostand, Salinger, Pasternak.
