Opera Carolina Prepares for a Big Act Move to historic office space signals strong financial future
A
empowered a facilities task force that met with Opera Carolina staff to discuss the short- and long-term facility needs of the company. With the support of Opera Carolina patron Martin Welton and his company, Park Commercial Real Estate, the company found what Meena calls “an amazing historic home on Elizabeth Avenue.” Not only does the new space offer 25 percent more square footage than the company had in its rented headquarters, but the space also offers the ability to hold social functions, board and committee meetings, Opera Guild events and intimate performances. The board is currently reviewing options to maximize the use of the building and create a sense of community and permanence for Opera Carolina.
group that has been in existence for more than 65 years can hardly be considered a teen. But 66-year-old Opera Carolina is making a move that is a rite of passage for most teenagers. After years of renting space, the company is getting a place of its own. The 4,300-square-foot historic home at 1600 Elizabeth Ave. will be the Opera’s new headquarters. The home offers three floors of administrative and social gathering space in the close-in, historic Elizabeth neighborhood. The company made the move in late September from its current space in the Two Wells Fargo Center. James Meena, general director and principal conductor for Opera Carolina, says the move – and the building purchase – signal Opera Carolina’s financial strength and stability. “Throughout our amazing legacy of service, the Opera has rented office space,” he said. “We strongly felt it was time to invest in property that would not only serve our needs, but would enhance our financial stability – both now and in the future.” “It’s important for the community and patrons to know that Opera Carolina is in a strong financial position,” said Rob Engel, co-chair of Opera Carolina’s board. “Moving to a building the group owns solidifies that position even more.” The board of directors in early 2014

Celebrate the 'Magic of Christmas' With the Symphony
T
he Charlotte Symphony brings its exciting “Magic of Christmas” performance to Belk Theater Dec. 4-7. Conducted by Albert-George Schram, this favorite local tradition is complete with holiday classics but fresh with innovative collaborations. This year, the CSO welcomes guest artist and season six "American Idol" finalist Melinda Doolittle. A native of Tennessee, Doolittle honed her vocals with the gospel group Anointed. She went on to sing backup for musical legends, from Aretha Franklin to Aaron Neville and Michael McDonald, and her debut studio album “Coming Back to You” was released to rave reviews in 2009. Hear Melinda’s soulful rendition of “Mary, Did You Know?” and other seasonal favorites, such as “I’ve Got My Love to Keep Me Warm,” plus moving selections by the Oratorio Singers of Charlotte and the Charlotte Children’s Choir, including Franz Biebl’s “Ave Maria” and “Joy to the World.” This concert is part of the Pops Series presented by Bank of America.

A Day in a Dancer's Shoes By Melissa Anduiza Charlotte Ballet dancer
M
y day begins at 8 a.m. with a strong dosage of Cuban coffee and a loving greeting from my German shepherd/lab mix, Theodore. I bustle around the kitchen collecting my breakfast and lunch for the day. Breakfast varies between eggs, cereal or yogurt and granola. It is vital that I eat every morning to fuel my body and mind for the day. I arrive at the Center for Dance with plenty of time to select my rehearsal wear, fix my hair and apply my makeup. As my fellow dancers and I enter the studio for our morning ballet class, there is a radiant energy throughout the room. We take our places at the barres, and slowly but actively, I do stretches that wake up my tight muscles. When I’m done with barre, I find the perfect pair of pointe shoes to wear for floor work during class. During Nutcracker season, I am very careful to separate which pairs of pointe shoes I will use for class and for rehearsals. If I am rehearsing for

Melissa Anduiza
Snow Queen, which requires an extensive amount of pointe work, I choose a pair of harder, more firm shoes for endurance, support and stability. If I am rehearsing for Arabian, this calls for much slower, grounded movements, so I use softer shoes. After the morning class, I check the dancer rehearsal to see what I typically rehearse from 11:15 a.m. to around 6 p.m. Two times a week, I end my work day with a Pilates mat class at 8th Street Studio. I have discovered how beneficial it is to condition and strengthen my body in order to aid with the already tough art form of ballet. I learn something new about myself every day and strive to constantly improve. Almost 12 hours after my day started, I am finally back home to Theo. I love to unwind by cooking a delicious and nutritious dinner while listening to Juan Luis Guerra or Marc Anthony. After a relaxing bath to relieve my sore muscles, I am in bed for at least eight hours of sleep before I wake up and happily do it all over again.

After long and highly distinguished careers with other collaborators, Richard Rodgers (composer, 1902–79) and Oscar Hammerstein II (librettist/lyricist, 1895–1960) joined forces in the early ’40s to create the most successful partnership in the American musical theater. Oklahoma! (1943), the first Rodgers & Hammerstein musical, was also the first of a new genre, the musical play, blending Rodgers’ sophisticated style of musical comedy (which he had perfected in a 25-year partnership with lyricist Lorenz Hart) with Hammerstein’s innovations in operetta (conceived in collaboration with such composers as Sigmund Romberg, Vincent Youmans, Rudolf Friml and Jerome Kern). Over the next 16 years, R&H wrote eight more Broadway musicals: Carousel, Allegro, South Pacific, The King and I, Me and Juliet, Pipe Dream, Flower Drum Song and The Sound of Music. They wrote one movie musical, State Fair, subsequently adapted to the stage, and one for television, “Cinderella.” First broadcast live with Julie Andrews in 1957, remade with Lesley Ann Warren (1965), and again with Whitney Houston and Brandy (1997), R&H’s Cinderella made her Broadway debut in 2013.

See if you can fill in the blanks at the right to finish the lyrics to some popular Motown hits.

Ain't no river wide enough. To keep me … _ _ _ _ _ _ _.” Temptations – “My Girl” “I’ve got sunshine on a cloudy day.

n honor of the wackiness of the Wellington International Ukulele Orchestra coming to McGlohon Theater in January, we have a fun challenge for you. See if you can find the four things that are different in the photos at right. Answers are upside down at the bottom of the page. Renowned for their winning combination of charming Kiwi humor, the disarmingly small ukulele and sublime musicality, the Wellington International Ukulele Orchestra is one of the world’s great modern ukulele acts. The wildly popular New Zealand ensemble create instant joy and lasting magic wherever they go, armed with high-octane ukulele solos, heavenly harmonies and outrageous costumes. Their comedic banter is spontaneous, and when they burst into song, the sweet sounds can silence a room in a nanosecond or bring a crowd of thousands to their feet. Don’t miss this amazing act when it comes to McGlohon Theater at Spirit Square Jan. 14. Visit BlumenthalArts.org or call 704-372-1000 for tickets.
