Walt Disney Concert Hall, Los AngelesPhoto by Lisa HirschThe Los Angeles Philharmonic has performances of Wagner's Das Rheingold later this month, and gosh, the cast looks great. (Which of these singers will be in the next San Francisco Opera Ring bring-up? Place your bets now.) There was a point when I would have said "this is in advance of a Paris Opera Ring, but we can't know whether any future Paris Ring productions will be conducted by Dudamel, who is no longer the music director there.)I can't get there, but presumably others can. Scenic design by Frank Gehry should be interesting!DUDAMEL LEADS DAS RHEINGOLDThursday, January 18, at 8:00 PMSaturday, January 20, at 8:00 PMSunday, January 21, at 2:00 PMLos Angeles PhilharmonicGustavo Dudamel, conductorAlberto Arvelo, directorRodrigo Prieto, lighting designerRyan Speedo Green, WotanBarry Banks, MimePeixin Chen, FafnerAlexandria Shiner,WellgundeJohn Matthew Myers,FrohFrank Gehry, scenic designCori Ellison, dramaturgRaehann Bryce-Davis,FrickaJochen Schmeckenbecher,AlberichJessica Faselt, FreiaTaylor Raven, FlosshildeKyle Albertson, DonnerCindy Figueroa, costumedesignerSimon O’Neill, LogeMorris Robinson, FasoltAnn Toomey, WoglindeTamara Mumford, Erda

The first time St Paul's Cathedral has hosted an in-person concert since lockdown: the City Music Foundation presents Messiaen's Quatuor pour la fin du temps
Olivier Messiaen's chamber masterpiece, Quatuor pour la fin du temps, will receive a live performance, with audience at St Paul's Cathedral on Friday 23 October 2020, performed by four City Music Foundation Artists, Emily Sun, violin, Ariana Kashefi, cello, Joseph Shiner, clarinet, Alexander Soares, piano. This will be the first time that the cathedral has been open for an in-person concert since lockdown. Tickets are free and available on a first come, first served basis. The idea behind the concert is to offer Londoners an opportunity for contemplation and reflection as we learn to live with the devastating effects of the pandemic, and the performance is linked to the Remember Me website created by St Paul's Cathedral as an on-line book of remembrance. Messiaen's Quatuor pour la fin du temps, inspired by the Book of Revelation, was written during his incarceration in a concentration camp and its instrumentation, violin, clarinet, […]

[…] father was Austin Kness, a baritone with an absolutely velvety rich voice with power to spare. Also impressive was Megan Moore in the role of Flora, Violetta’s friend. Although the role was somewhat diminished by necessary cuts to the work in this production, she presented a solidly thought-out character. And, one was left yearning to hear more from this talented singer. The uniformly strong cast was filled out by Brandon Gibson as Doctor Grenvil, Alexandria Shiner as Annina, Daniel Berry as Baron Douphol, and Breyon Ewing as Gastone. All singers pitched in for the retained chorus numbers supplemented by Marya Barry and Ryan Colbert. What would a production of La Traviata be without the famous “Libiamo ne’ lieti calici”? Kudos to conductor Brian Holman for the impressive work of pacing and control of the action and miraculously maintaining the synchronization of the instrumental ensemble to the singers in different rooms.
