SummerScape 2018 Brochure

BARDSUMMERSCAPE

June 28 – August 19, 2018

OPERA • THEATER • DANCE • MUSIC • FILM • SPIEGELTENT and 29TH BARD MUSIC FESTIVAL Rimsky-Korsakov and His World

Welcome Bard SummerScape and the Bard Music Festival present Rimsky-Korsakov and His World The life and times of influential composer Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov (1844–1908) are the subject of the 29th Bard Music Festival (BMF). Therefore, Russian culture infuses much of Bard SummerScape 2018—seven weeks of music, opera, dance, theater, film, and cabaret. Accompanying the BMF’s exploration of Rimsky-Korsakov, whose music touched hearts worldwide, are new productions in opera and theater, and a world premiere in dance. This year’s opera—Demon—by Anton Rubinstein, is performed by an all-Russian cast, conducted by Leon Botstein and directed by Thaddeus Strassberger.

Leonard Bernstein’s Peter Pan, based on the play by J. M. Barrie and adapted and directed by Christopher Alden, celebrates the centennial of the birth of the legendary composer and conductor, himself a son of Russian immigrants. In dance, the 75th anniversary of the publication of T. S. Eliot’s Four Quartets provides the inspiration for choreographer Pam Tanowitz, composer Kaija Saariaho, minimalist painter Brice Marden, and acclaimed actress Kathleen Chalfant, who unite to create an alchemy of music, dance, poetry, and art. Rimsky-Korsakov and the Poetry of Cinema provides the catalyst for this year’s film series, and don’t forget the Spiegeltent, presided over for the fifth time by Mx. Justin Vivian Bond, compère extraordinaire.

Venues include the Frank Gehry–designed Richard B. Fisher Center for the Performing Arts, a spectacular, luminous structure on Bard’s Hudson River campus.

SummerScape is made possible through the generous support of Jeanne Donovan Fisher, the Martin and Toni Sosnoff Foundation, the Board of The Richard B. Fisher Center for the Performing Arts at Bard College, the Board of the Bard Music Festival, Fisher Center and Bard Music Festival members, as well as grants from the National Endowment for the Arts and the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature.

theater new production

Leonard Bernstein’s Peter Pan Music and lyrics by Leonard Bernstein After the play by J. M. Barrie Adapted and directed by Christopher Alden New orchestrations by Garth Edwin Sunderland Choreography by Jack Ferver Definitely not your grandparents’ Peter Pan! Internationally celebrated director Christopher Alden reveals a darker side to J. M. Barrie’s fantasy of childhood and the inner child in a psychologically gripping new production. By turns whimsical and sinister, it is transfigured through a joyous and shimmering score by Leonard Bernstein. Originally composed for a 1950 Broadway production, Bernstein’s Peter Pan songs are lost gems, lying dormant, waiting to be rediscovered. Now Alden (revered for his New York City Opera production of Bernstein’s A Quiet Place) restores them to thrilling life in an intimate, contemporary staging, specially commissioned for the worldwide celebration of Bernstein’s centenary year.

opera new production

Demon

By Anton Rubinstein American Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Leon Botstein, music director Directed by Thaddeus Strassberger Anton Rubinstein’s operatic masterpiece, Demon, premiered to great acclaim in 1871.

Although performed frequently in Russia, the work remains a rarity in the West today.

Based on the renowned fantasy poem by Mikhail Lermontov, Demon boasts rich choral writing and a fiery libretto. The work vividly depicts the isolation and despair of a fallen angel doomed to eternal damnation. All is upended by his chance encounter with Princess Tamara, with whom he falls desperately in love. Tamara’s attempts to resist him, and her eventual submission, end in tragedy.

The 2018 SummerScape production is conducted by Leon Botstein and directed by the distinguished American director Thaddeus Strassberger, with sets by Paul Tate dePoo lll and costumes by Kaye Voyce. An all-Russian cast is led by the sparkling-voiced soprano Olga Tolkmit (last seen at Bard in Dimitrij) in the role of Tamara, alongside baritone Efim Zavalny in his American debut in the title role.

Highly regarded in his homeland, Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov (1844–1908) played a defining role in the creation of what became known as the Russian style in music. The most prolific of the so-called Mighty Five, a group of nationalist composers that also included Mily Balakirev, Modest Mussorgsky, Alexander Borodin, and César Cui, he helped forge an eminently recognizable sound whose hallmark is a mix of folk song and exotic harmonies.

In the West, Rimsky-Korsakov is known largely for his opulent symphonic poem Scheherazade, the brilliantly scored Capriccio Espagnol, and, above all, his novelty hit, The Flight of the Bumblebee, which has been played on almost every pitched instrument, including the tuba.

But this is the lighter side of his output, and not how he would have wanted to be remembered. Out of his 15 operas, only two or three make regular appearances on Western stages, while productions of Sadko and The Legend of the Invisible City of Kitezh, epics of Wagnerian proportions, are rare, as are performances of his songs, which are in the repertoire of every Russian singer.

When Sergei Diaghilev began his ambitious program of exporting Russian culture to Paris and beyond in the early 20th century, the Russian music he presented was very much the product of Rimsky-Korsakov’s industry and ingenuity, and it proved crucial to the success of his early productions. In 1907, Rimsky-Korsakov himself was summoned to Paris to preside over the inaugural concert of Diaghilev’s Les Saisons Russes. Rimsky-Korsakov died the following year, but his version of Mussorgsky’s Boris Godunov brought Diaghilev his first outstanding success, and the ballet staged to the music of Scheherazade in 1910 became the troupe’s calling card. It did much to create the stereotype of Russia as an exotic, oriental nation, and to a flourishing of orientalism in fashion and design.

Rimsky-Korsakov is a pivotal figure without whom the history of Russian music in the 20th century cannot be understood. His own musical education was entirely outside of the conservatory system, but he eventually accepted an invitation to serve as director of the St. Petersburg Conservatory, and in this role built the solid foundation that helped future generations of Russian composers dominate the international scene. The subsequent success of Igor Stravinsky, Sergey Prokofiev, and Dmitri Shostakovich would be unimaginable

to composer of great originality. His work and influence are examined in the context of compositions by the Mighty Five, as well as Mikhail Glinka, Alexander Glazunov, Pyotr Tchaikovsky, Alexander Scriabin, Sergey Taneyev, Stravinsky, Prokofiev, and many others.

This season is made possible in part through the generous support of the Board of the Bard Music Festival and the Friends of the Bard Music Festival, as well as grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, and the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature. Additional underwriting has been provided by Jeanne Donovan Fisher, James H. Ottaway Jr., Felicitas S. Thorne, Helen and Roger Alcaly, Bettina Baruch Foundation, and Barbara Kenner. Special support has also been provided by the Mrs. Mortimer Levitt Endowment Fund for the Performing Arts.

All programs and performers are subject to change.

Though they never met, Holiday and Piaf led parallel lives, and their heartrending loves fed the soulful singularity of their voices and defined a generation.

Saturday, July 7 Mx. Bond kicks off the Spiegeltent season with a celebration of gender outlaw and American soft-rock poster girl Karen Carpenter.

Mx. Justin Vivian Bond Is Down on Creation: On Top of the World with The Carpenters

845-758-7900

Friday, July 13 Julian Fleisher is a true Renaissance man— bandleader, record producer, singer, and actor. Now, this “Manhattan nightclub supernova” (LA Times) makes his Spiegeltent debut with an evening of light and sunshine, the perfect antidote to Friday the 13th.

Backed by Fleisher’s acclaimed 10-piece “rather big band,” Sun Songs features masterful interpretations of classics from the Beatles to Joni Mitchell, fused with a savvy showmanship of bygone days.

Melanie Friday, July 27 One of only three women to perform solo at the 1969 Woodstock Festival, Melanie Safka has embarked on a half-century musical journey to earn her rightful place as one of America’s folk music treasures. From “Lay Down (Candles in the Rain)” to “Brand New Key” and “Ruby Tuesday,” Melanie brings spirit and spunk to her Spiegeltent debut.

BACK TO (ab)NORMAL: Angela Di Carlo’s ADD Cabaret and Billy Hough’s Scream Along with Billy Saturday, August 11 Angela Di Carlo (House of Whimsy 2016–17) returns with her hilarious songs about random observations, pet peeves, and timely topics performed at lightning pace. A cult sensation in the New York City and Provincetown underground music and cabaret scenes, Billy Hough rounds out the evening with punk-infused singing and ranting, which the New Yorker calls “poignant and beautiful.” This double-bill laugh riot is not for the faint of heart.

The Hot Sardines A Dance Party Friday, August 17 We’re opening up the Spiegeltent dance floor for the sizzling return of hot-jazz darlings The Hot Sardines.

Music made famous decades ago comes alive through the band’s brassy and rollicking sound. Get ready to dance into the season’s closing weekend as the ever-pleasing ensemble effortlessly channels New York speakeasies, Parisian cabarets, and New Orleans jazz halls.

Boys in the Trees: Justin Vivian Bond Sings All the Young Dudes Saturday, August 18 After years of covering female singer-songwriters, Mx. Bond changes course for the Spiegeltent’s closing night. Rather than singing songs by the idols Vivian wants to be, it’s time for an evening of music by people Vivian wants to be . . . with! From teen idols to rock gods, Mx. Viv. “trannels” their inner witch to explore the realms of masculine rock and teen lust.

Jazz through the Looking Glass: The Hot Jazz Age with Catskill Jazz Factory and the New York Hot Jazz Festival Thursdays at 8 pm Tickets start at $25

Sidney Bechet: The Soul of Crescent City Aurora Nealand and the Royal Roses Thursday, July 5 Crescent City songstress Aurora Nealand leads her Royal Roses in a tribute to the Jazz Age recordings of New Orleans’s preeminent clarinet and soprano sax legend, Sidney Bechet. Nealand, a prominent force in the New Orleans jazz scene, is an innovative, sensitive, and daring performer, acclaimed as one of the top soprano-sax players in the country.

Get Rhythm in Your Feet: The Music of J. Russel Robinson and the Original Dixieland Jazz Band Gordon Au’s Grand Street Stompers featuring Molly Ryan Thursday, July 12 Gordon Au’s Grand Street Stompers celebrates the first commercially released jazz recording in this homage to the Original Dixieland Jazz Band’s J. Russel Robinson. Robinson is known for his blues-influenced playing style, along with his contributions to jazz and American popular music.

The exceptional period jazz vocalist Molly Ryan adds to the evening’s foot-tapping, vintage sound.

Hotter Than That: Louis Armstrong’s Hot Fives Bria Skonberg Band Thursday, July 19 “The shining hope of hot jazz” (New York Times), Bria Skonberg leads her ensemble in homage to her idol, the great Louis Armstrong, with a night that calls on the seminal works of the Hot Five, Armstrong’s first jazz recording band. According to the Wall Street Journal, “If Louis Armstrong and Doris Day could somehow be the same person, they’d be Bria Skonberg.”

The Unsung Jazz Geniuses of Prohibition Ghost Train Orchestra

Special Events

Thursday, July 26 Trumpeter Brian Carpenter leads the inspired Ghost Train Orchestra—a little big band renowned for performing almost-forgotten musical gems—in a concert of the unearthed works of the lesser-known and rarely heard composers and band leaders that served as fixtures of the dance halls, speakeasies, and nightclubs of the late Prohibition-era years of Harlem and Chicago’s South Side.

Summertime Swing Eight to the Bar

Bix & Tram: A Red Hot Retrospective Patrick Bartley Orchestra Thursday, August 2 Grammy-nominated saxophonist Patrick Bartley Jr. leads his orchestra in a celebration of the recordings of Jazz Age legends Bix Beiderbecke and Frankie Trumbauer, now recognized among the most important and influential recordings in jazz history.

This concert recreates them with impeccable period authenticity, and affords a rare opportunity to hear this music note for note, as recorded close to a century ago.

Season Kick-off Events The Big Takeover Saturday, June 23 at 8 pm Tickets: $25 Since 2007, The Big Takeover, a six-piece ensemble, has been packing clubs in the city, upstate, and around the globe.

—Poughkeepsie Journal
