Annemieke Bosman in gesprek met regisseur Jetske Mijnssen. Mijnssen regisseert bij De Nationale Opera, in het kader van het Holland Festival, de opera Simon Boccanegra van Giuseppe Verdi. Deze opera vol politieke intriges, liefde en verraad vertelt het verhaal van Simon Boccanegra, die kort na het verlies van zijn geliefde én zijn dochter, wordt uitgeroepen tot leider van het politiek verscheurde Genua. Verdi schetst een portret van een vader en politicus die tevergeefs verlangt naar rust en vrijheid.   Het werk van Jetske Mijnssen kenmerkt zich door een scherp oog voor de psychologie van haar personages. Internationaal heeft ze bovendien een bijzondere reputatie opgebouwd met haar expertise in barok en vroegklassiek werk. Haar productie van Rossi's Orfeo werd bekroond met de Grand Prix du Syndicat de la Critique en bij Opernhaus Zürich ensceneerde ze onder meer Hippolyte et Aricie, Orlando Paladino, Platée en Agrippina. Daarnaast regisseerde zij onder anderen Dialogues des Carmélites (Opernhaus Zürich en Semperoper Dresden), Pelléas et Mélisande (Bayerische Staatsoper München) en Parsifal (Glyndebourne Festival). Bij De Nationale Opera tekende zij eerder voor de regie van Donizetti's Tudor-trilogie (Anna Bolena, Maria Stuarda, Roberto Devereux).

Nach dem Sprung über die Marke von 25.000 Punkten nimmt der DAX Gewinne mit. Der Leitindex verliert 0,8 % auf 25.185 Punkte und schließt nahe am Tagestief. Belastend wirken die neuen US-Angriffe auf den Iran, der kräftig gestiegene Ölpreis und neue Zinssorgen. Brent steigt um 4 % auf 100 USD, WTI ebenfalls um 4 % auf 97 USD. EZB-Direktorin Isabel Schnabel hält deshalb eine Zinserhöhung im Juni für angemessen. An der Wall Street läuft der Handel trotzdem freundlich, vor allem KI- und Raumfahrtwerte bleiben gefragt. Marvell, Micron und Intel ziehen deutlich an, SpaceX-Fantasie treibt Satelliten- und Raketenaktien. Bei den Firmenmeldungen trennt sich BP von Verwaltungsratschef Albert Manifold, die Aktie fällt zeitweise mehr als 9 %. Groupon streicht bis zu 400 Stellen. Hapag-Lloyd verliert COO Maximilian Rothkopf. Verdi ruft bei der Telekom zu Warnstreiks auf und fordert 6,6 % mehr Lohn plus 660 € Mitgliederbonus. Eli Lilly kauft drei Impfstofffirmen für bis zu 3,83 Mrd. USD. Fresenius Medical Care startet ein Aktienrückkaufprogramm über 1 Mrd. Euro. Und zum Schluss die Börsenweisheit des Tages.

This week, I'm joined by bass Barnaby Rea for a longer-than-usual opera special I mean if we're doing opera, we've gotta go long, right?!), recorded backstage at the Royal Opera House, London.Barnaby is a British/Irish bass who trained at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama and the National Opera Studio. He was a Harewood Artist at English National Opera and a member of the Oper Frankfurt solo ensemble. He has also appeared with companies including the Royal Opera House, Deutsche Oper Berlin, Zurich Opera, Teatro Real, Opéra de Lyon, Scottish Opera and Opera North.We recorded this while Barnaby was performing Doctor Grenvil in Verdi's La traviata, in Richard Eyre's long-running Royal Opera production.This episode was also partly inspired by a recent visit to Milan and the extraordinary Teatro alla Scala, which got me thinking about opera not just as music, but as architecture, social ritual, commerce, class, spectacle and power.So this is partly a conversation about opera singing, partly a look at the machinery of a major opera house, and partly an attempt to understand why opera can feel both thrillingly immediate and socially intimidating.We talk about opera vs musical theatre, why singers train for so long, how a voice can fill a huge theatre without amplification, what “placement” and resonance mean, and why vibrato is not just decorative wobbling.We also get into opera's social context: boxes, gods, stalls, ticket prices, access, prestige, and whether opera's elitist reputation is entirely fair.There's also a wider reflection on live music now: why huge arena shows can dominate the public story of the music industry while smaller venues, grassroots promoters, festivals and independent musicians are struggling.This is a longer episode than usual, but that feels fitting for opera: there is a lot of voice, history, scale and backstage machinery to get into.In this episode00:00 – Steve introduces the opera special, Barnaby Rea, the Royal Opera House and the Milan / La Scala inspiration01:35 – Barnaby's route into opera: school swing band, musical theatre, Sweeney Todd, Guys and Dolls and early training07:30 – Guildhall, opera school, learning the craft, and why opera takes so long to train for properly12:30 – Singing in different languages and understanding what you are actually saying15:40 – Opera vs musical theatre: amplification, stamina, acting, dancing and vocal demands20:45 – Inside the Royal Opera House: backstage scale, sets, docks, ballet and multiple productions24:45 – La Scala, opera boxes, social hierarchy, standing tickets and opera as mass entertainment30:05 – Arena economics, struggling grassroots venues, festivals and why smaller gigs matter36:50 – Is opera elitist?

Those of us fortunate enough to have employment in our chosen field should have (in theory) a pension / superannuation plan to take care of us in our autumn years. Sadly, some professions including ones that bring us most joy don't always look after the practitioners. Opera composer Giuseppi Verdi knew that so he did something about it.   Welcome to episode 134 of See Hear Podcast.   It's our first episode back after a hiatus, and what a film we have to talk about. Kerry and I were thrilled to have film producer Christine La Monte join us. She and director Yvonne Russo have brought into the world a film guaranteed to bring happiness to all who see it – Viva Verdi!   Giuseppi Verdi seems to have been a rare beast in the arts world – he was financially secure into his later years. He realised that many of his fellow travellers however (composers, musicians, singers) did not have a pension in their later years when they could not work. Verdi had a philanthropic background, and so he decided to develop a retirement home for musicians.   The documentary Viva Verdi takes a look at the residents of Casa Verdi over the last few years. All these musicians (mostly in their 80s and 90s) are still vital and have stories to tell and work to do. Keeping musically active in the retirement home helps keep dementia at bay, and makes the residents feel as important as they ever were. Christine tells us about her childhood love of opera when her peers were into rock and roll, the wonderful people she and Yvonne met, Verdi's generosity….and Kerry and I agree that Viva Verdi was robbed at the Oscars.   We also briefly explore another opera related documentary Christine produced “Ai Weiwei's Turandot”. As opposed to Viva Verdi which celebrates the individual, the Aiweiwei documentary looks at the themes of opera to celebrate the collective. It's social commentary in a world gone mad. At the time of posting this, Viva Verdi is only available for streaming in North America, though, Christine is working on a wider distribution method. It's having limited cinema screenings in the US, or it can be streamed at https://www.jolt.film/ (if you're outside the US, you'll need to turn on your VPN...don't get me started on these archaic region rules....) It's a wonderful film and worth the effort. Our conversation, however, is self contained, so you can listen and enjoy without having seen the film.

Umay Acar-Sümer |Writer and Composer of ‘Beowulf the MusicalBio:Umay Acar-Sümer is a Turkish singer and composer based in Hampshire, UK. Having completed an MA in Medieval Studies and MMus in Music Composition at Royal Holloway, Umay draws inspiration from medieval literature and history in her writing. She is the writer and composer of ‘Beowulf the Musical', a two-act musical made up of 35 song based on the medieval epic poem Beowulf. ‘Beowulf the Musical' premiered at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2024 with Umay playing the role of Freawaru; the musical is now set to release an album with many of the original cast and orchestra members reprising their roles. Umay's writing influences include late medieval authors like Geoffrey Chaucer, Sir Thomas Malory and Chrétien de Troyes as well as anonymous poems from the Anglo-Saxon period such as The Wanderer, The Battle of Maldon and The Seafarer. Musically she is inspired by contemporary composers such as Alan Menken, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Lin Manuel Miranda and Anais Mitchell as well as the works of Handel, Verdi, Mozart and Strauss. Umay is currently working on her next musical; a sapphic fairytale about a girl with a magical harp teaming up with a disgraced knight to defeat a dragon.Links:Website:https://umaymakesmusic.wordpress.com/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@umaymakesmusichttps://www.tiktok.com/@beowulfthemusical Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/umayisnotherehttps://www.facebook.com/beowulfthemusicalInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/umayisnotherehttps://www.instagram.com/beowulfthemusical Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/artist/5IrAUtyarBSJGbvzazeBuZ YouTube:https://youtube.com/@umayisnothereTagspodcast for creativescreative podcastpodcast creator interviewsprofessional podcastcreative podcastspodcast host interviewscreative podcast ideasSupport PEG by checking out our Sponsors:Download and use Newsly for free now from www.newsly.me or from the link in the description, and use promo code “GHOST” and receive a 1-month free premium subscription.The best tool for getting podcast guests:https://podmatch.com/signup/phantomelectricghostSubscribe to our Instagram for exclusive content:https://www.instagram.com/expansive_sound_experiments/Subscribe to our YouTube https://youtube.com/@phantomelectricghost?si=rEyT56WQvDsAoRprRSShttps://anchor.fm/s/3b31908/podcast/rssSubstackhttps://substack.com/@phantomelectricghost?utm_source=edit-profile-page

I recently obtained a copy of the rare pirate recording entitled “Bubbles on the Nile (and Other Rare Phenomena): Familiar Divas in Unfamiliar Repertoire.” It foregrounds 13 favorite twentieth-century divas singing roles with which they were not commonly associated. Prominently featured, of course, is the artist featured in a lovingly caricatured drawing on the cover of the LP, Beverly Sills (AKA Bubbles) singing, as the title implies, the title role of Verdi's Aida, a role which she seldom sang, and then only at the beginning of her career. Today I am offering the (somewhat expanded) contents of that album, which also features Ghena Dimitrova, Licia Albanese, Regina Resnik, Virginia Zeani, Renata Tebaldi, Montserrat Caballé, among others, in operatic roles that might surprise you. I am hoping that today's episode might lead to a series of similar episodes this summer: I did a survey earlier this week among my listeners about what favorite divas they would like to see featured in uncommon roles and I received some amazing recommendations and suggestions. So take your seats and hold tight: the maiden voyage of this barge is about to depart down the Nile. (And for those of you who are concerned that I never seem to have a snarky word to say about anyone, you'll want to fasten your seatbelts: I might have a choice word or two about some of the singers heard today!) 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.

Con un linguaggio accessibile e chiaro, il volume esamina il contesto storico e artistico nel quale vide la luce e ne analizza la composizione, soffermandosi in particolare sulla diffusione della musica “descrittiva” e sulle strategie compositive con le quali Beethoven riproduce ruscelli, paesaggi e fenomeni naturali attraverso le note.

Known to history as “The Scourge of God,” Attila was a rampaging conqueror who famously turned aside from the city of Rome after a meeting with the Pope.  In this version, Attila is also opposed by a vengeful slave, a morally flexible Roman general, and a wily and determined warrior woman.  Historical? Not so much.  But this stunning opera from early-career Verdi, Attila is a work that deserves to be heard and enjoyed, full of exquisite arias, duets, ensembles, choral numbers, and what may be opera's most expeditious on-stage lead character death.

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!

She is Dean Emerita, College of Fellows of the American Theatre; Past President of the Association for Theatre in Higher Education; Director of 150 Holocaust and other theatre productions; and winner of the Georgia Governor's Award for the Arts and the Hillel Heroes Award. Karen is co-Artistic Director of Washington Women in Theatre. She is the co-author with Dr. Gail Humphries of the two-volume work, Stories of the Holocaust: Art for Healing and Renewal. Co-host Irene Stern Frielich was a guest on Episode 370: "Walking Where History Happened: A Daughter's Holocaust Journey." Irene is the daughter of a German Jewish Holocaust survivor—but for much of her life, the story remained unspoken. In 2017, after rediscovering her father's testimony, Irene set out to physically retrace his escape route from Nazi Germany through his survival in Holland. The result was a journey of reconciliation and healing. Her award-winning memoir, Shattered Stars, Healing Hearts, explores trauma, courage, and connection across generations. Summary In this episode, Jeff and co-host Irene Stern Frielich speak with Dr. Karen Berman about the role of the arts in Holocaust education and remembrance. Dr. Berman discusses her five-year project to co-edit two volumes featuring 33 contributors who explore how theater, music, visual art, and film illuminate the Holocaust and its aftermath. The books argue that the arts can foster empathy, healing, and social responsibility while inspiring people to become "upstanders" who actively oppose hate and injustice. The conversation explores how artistic expression functioned as both resistance and survival during the Holocaust. A powerful example is the performance of Verdi's Requiem in the Theresienstadt concentration camp, where imprisoned singers used music as a form of spiritual defiance against their captors. The discussion also examines how Holocaust education is evolving. Scholars and educators are increasingly shifting from purely historical instruction toward approaches that engage students emotionally and morally through storytelling, performance, and immersive technologies such as virtual reality and holographic survivor testimony. Ultimately, the episode emphasizes that art has the power to humanize history, deepen empathy, and transform audiences into witnesses. By connecting personal stories with creative expression, educators and artists can ensure that Holocaust memory remains meaningful—and that the lessons of history inspire moral action today.
