Ballet Program Synopsis Notes . Synopsis
By Natalie Harris and Emily Fine
Alice in Wonderland One afternoon, a young girl named Alice is playing outside with her friend Jack. Eventually, Alice’s mother and Jack’s governess separate the children to begin their studies. Reluctantly, Alice begins her lesson, but not long after, falls asleep out of boredom. Alice awakens to find a peculiarlooking rabbit studying a pocket watch. She attempts to get his attention but he is too busy to be bothered and hurries off. Curiosity gets the best of Alice and she follows after him. Alice finds herself in an intriguing, odd world known as Wonderland. She wanders around this new land in search of the White Rabbit only to find that the characters she meets are not as friendly as she had hoped. The mischievous Tweedledum and
The New Mexico Philharmonic
“Off with their heads!” Tweedledee at first try to entice Alice, but end up teasing her. A beautiful field of poppies brush her off when she tries to dance with them. Distraught, Alice vows to achieve her main goal of finding the White Rabbit. She manages to see him a few times with a very familiar-looking boy but can never seem to get close enough to catch him. At one point, she happens upon a seemingly joyous tea party hosted by a Mad Hatter and his consort, the Brown Hare, only to see things take an unexpected turn. Just as Alice decides to give up on her search for the White Rabbit, she stumbles across the Cheshire Cat. Tricky as it is, the cat finally reveals to Alice that she will find the one she’s looking for at the court of the Queen of Hearts. Excited, Alice races off in the direction of the court. When she arrives,
she is puzzled to find playing cards painting white roses red. Alice, being the curious girl she is, inquires about this peculiar activity. It is revealed that the Queen demands her roses be red and that anyone who disobeys her will lose their head. Just then, the Queen and King enter, and in seemingly customary fashion, everyone showers the Queen with gifts. When the Queen notices that her roses are covered in wet red paint she yells, “Off with their heads” to the playing cards guilty of the supposed crime. In a panic, the cards blame Alice for painting the roses. Alice stands up to the Queen and challenges her to a game of croquet to spare her life. The surprising outcome of the croquet match results in the Queen demanding Alice’s head. Will Alice ever make it out of Wonderland? Assuming she ever left home. ●

Program Notes .
Program Notes Manuel Areu
Manuel Areu’s Story and Legacy A violin player, composer, actor, zarzuelas director, and entrepreneur, Manuel Areu was also a fine artist who painted some of the scenography of his plays. He was born in Madrid, Spain, in 1845 and died in Mexico City in 1942. Performing arts as a family business was in Manuel Areu’s genes, and he passed this to his children and some of his grandchildren. In times of political movements, revolution, and war in Europe and the Americas, he and his family approached his work in the performing arts as a whole endeavor in which music and theater were seen as artistic creation, business, and as an educational tool: “If we deserve praise it is because of our eagerness in favor of teaching through theater” (by Areu Brothers Company, taken from a 1916 playbill from the Areu collection). Manuel Areu began to study music in Spain at a very young age (probably around ten years old or earlier), taking lessons in different cities depending upon where his father Ramon Areu’s zarzuela company was performing, including San Sebastian, Valencia, and Zamora. He was playing violin in his father’s company by the age of twenty and performing all over Spain. His life and work spanned four countries: Spain, Cuba, Mexico, and the United States. His artistic work cannot be appreciated without understanding the difficulties he went through in his life. He constantly struggled to survive under the very challenging circumstances of working in a competitive business while having to support a large family. In addition, in his long life and career he witnessed war, upheaval, and revolution in the different countries in which he lived and was affected both directly and indirectly by these political circumstances. Some political crisis seemed to be happening everywhere he went. In 18681869, he left Spain in the middle of a political revolution and economic crisis that ended with the fall of Queen Isabel II. With his father, sister, and brother-in-law, he joined the Albisu Company in Cuba, arriving on the island during the first phase of the revolution for Cuba’s independence from Spain. Between 1869 and 1902 his life and work took him back and forth between Cuba and Mexico. In 8
2015/16 Season
“If we deserve praise it is because of our eagerness in favor of teaching through theater.” —Areu Brothers Company
a life of constant traveling and performances, he married Pilar Pautret, a Mexican artist who also belonged to a family of performers. He and Pilar had six children (three born in Mexico and three born in Cuba.) With a large and growing family, the instability of the business of performing arts at the time, and the political crisis of each country (the Cuban War of Independence and the Mexican Revolution), his life and work were far from easy. In his memoir, he even mentioned having thought about committing suicide. Still, he was able to compose instrumental pieces, zarzuelas, and plays between 1868 and 1918. He composed and performed in Cuba and Mexico during an important period in the history of performing arts in both countries. Theater was becoming an essential part of the discourse about national identities by becoming more available to all social classes and ethnicities, from the characters and topics of his zarzuelas as well as the challenges of the performing arts’ profession, to his anthem to Porfirio Diaz, Areu’s work reflected this context. He wrote and composed five plays about the Mexican Revolution as well as others of more social content on topics such as women’s right to vote and the hard conditions of miners’ work in Sonora, Mexico. Because of his entrepreneurial spirit, he gravitated toward the incipient art of silent cinema in his programs, creating a new concept called “vistas habladas” (talking pictures), in which he showed silent films that he purchased and used actors behind the screen who followed a dialogue according to the story mimicking the lips of the film’s actors. These are, as far as we know, the earliest talking movies. By the age of 69, he was not performing anymore, only writing and drawing, while his children had taken charge of the family business. By 1914 the family was in Chihuahua, but the political upheaval created by the Mexican Revolution, including scarcity of food, forced the Areus to move
to El Paso, Texas. Immigration records show that between 1916 and 1936, and as early as 1912, some of Manuel Areu’s sons and daughters crossed the border, some of them more than once. This shows a continuous movement that had to do with work that took them to Mexico, Texas, and Arizona. In 1916, his sons had created the Areu Brothers Company and Enterprise (the three brothers, Enrique, Roberto, and Jose were also known as Trio Trovatore.) They performed all over the US Southwest, while Manuel took up residence in Jerome, Arizona, until the 1920s when he moved to Los Angeles, California, leaving behind in Jerome the trunks that he carried with him for decades wherever he traveled. The trunks contained his musical sheets, including most of his compositions, playbills, and personal documents. In 1927, while in Los Angeles, he began to write his memoirs. He died in Mexico City at the age of 97, without ever again seeing those papers left in Jerome. Meanwhile, his sons married women who were also in theater, kept the family business, and developed remarkable careers in the 1930s and 1940s in the United States and Mexico. Today, every academic article or book about the history of Hispanic and Mexican American Theater in the US mentions the Areu brothers. Cuatro en Uno This zarzuela was composed in 1887. The lack of libretto in the Areu collection makes it impossible to perform as it was conceived. Today we present the first musical number of this zarzuela in an orchestral version. From a written note in one of the orchestral parts, we know that it was performed in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 1889. Dolores Set of waltzes This is the first piece by Manuel Areu, composed in 1868. Probably inspired by his first love, a woman he left in Spain, this piece is a set of waltzes written originally for piano.
Program Notes . Un Conato de Coburgo Zarzuela in one act As is explained in the libretto cover, in Havana, Coburgo means when a poor man marries a rich woman, while Conato is Spanish for “intent.” The work is set in a hotel in Havana in 1906. Enrique, a Spanish man, tries to marry the rich Caridad with the help of Curro, his servant. At some point this becomes not necessary because he wins the lottery. The plot is very simple. However, the work plays with the different customs and music from Spain and Cuba. Un Conato de Coburgo is a zarzuela, known as género chico (small genre) which is defined by the proportion of music and spoken text. Usually, these kinds of zarzuelas have from four to seven musical numbers. Un Conato de Coburgo has five musical numbers. The libretto is by D. León de León y Escosura. It was never printed and the manuscript is part of the collection. The text is written in verses, mixing expressions from different regions of Spain. Los Rancheros Two Pieces We only have a piano score of Los Rancheros. It is catalogued as “variedad No. 5.” This piece was probably part of a dialogue or a small dramatic text and was written and performed when the Areu family lived in El Paso, Texas. Brisas de España Set of Waltzes Composed in 1899 and premiered on June 23, 1900, in the Albisu Theater in Havana, Cuba, Brisas de España was part of a farewell concert by Manuel Areu. In the playbill Areu wrote that he dedicated the performance to his companions and wished that with his art, he could serve the Cuban people and their artists. El Retiro Zarzuela in one act Libretto by Pedro de Gorriz, composed in 1901. A military musician, looking for an improvement in his retirement is mistakenly taken as the suitor of the general’s daughter. As usual in this genre, the plot is an opportunity to put together a series of songs in a dramatic setting. This work has the same structure as Un Conato de Coburgo: a spoken text with five musical numbers. Only the music scores are present in the collection. There are two sets of the same work, with
The New Mexico Philharmonic
two different orchestrations. Moreover, variations of the orchestra were written in one of the scores. In the score of the second violin there is an alternate accompaniment to be played with small orchestras. That fact indicated that this piece was performed on several occasions with orchestras of different sizes. Fortunately, we found the libretto in another library, thus allowing for the reconstruction of this work. ●
The Manuel Areu Project
An Ongoing Interdisciplinary Research by Honors College, University of New Mexico In 1952, while exploring sites for his artistic work, fine arts artist and photographer Frederick Sommers of Prescott, Arizona, found musical sheets, play manuscripts, and other papers decaying in a garbage dumpster in the mining town of Jerome, Arizona. They were thrown away when the building where they were left (in the “Mexican town” of Jerome) was demolished. Because of the value Sommers saw in his discovery, he gathered them and sent them to his friend Dr. John Donald Robb, at that time Dean of the College of Fine Arts at the University of New Mexico. Robb did an initial report of the content. In most of the manuscripts the legend Propiedad de Manuel Areu “Property of Manuel Areu” was found. The collection was kept at the Zimmerman Library in storage, and in 1972, then UNM graduate student Mary Montaño began to study and catalogue the collection as part of her Master Thesis in Musicology. A second Master Thesis by Sally Bissell also used part of the collection. Thanks to the following people and institutions that saw the value of this legacy and have given their support to make this program a reality: Lee Blaugrund; UNM Honors College Associate Dean Ursula Shepherd and Dean Kate Krause; New Mexico Philharmonic Executive Director Marian Tanau; UNM Latin American and Iberian Institute; National Hispanic Cultural Center, and Fundación Educativa Mexicana de Nuevo México.

The New Mexico Philharmonic Music & Arts Festival
TURN OF THE TWENTIETH:
THE MUSIC & TIMES OF MANUEL AREU The New Mexico Philharmonic, in collaboration with the UNM Honors College and in partnership with the National Hispanic Cultural Center, the City of Albuquerque, the Consulate of Mexico in Albuquerque, and Chatter, presents season one of The New Mexico Philharmonic Music & Arts Festival, with this season’s focus being Turn of the Twentieth: The Music & Times of Manuel Areu. The Manuel Areu Project consists of bringing to light the original music and theater works of composer, musician, actor, and entrepreneur Manuel Areu. Areu was born in Madrid, Spain, in 1845 and died in Mexico City in 1942. Although this collection was found in 1952, there were no efforts to recover and perform Areu’s original music. However, in 2012, under the guidance of UNM Honors College Faculty, University of New Mexico Honors College students began to research Areu’s life and work using this unprecedented collection of music scores and manuscripts. Areu’s artistic life spanned Spain, Cuba, Mexico, New Orleans, and Los Angeles as well as some cities in Texas and Arizona. The festival kicks off on Friday, April 8, 2016, in the Frank Waters Room at the UNM Honors College, where from 2:00–4:00 p.m. there will be a Research Symposium: Recovering the Story and Music of Manuel Areu. From a dumpster in Jerome, AZ, to UNM Zimmerman Library’s collections, the music scores and documents of Spanish composer Manuel Areu tell us about his creative work in Spain, Cuba, México, and the United States during times of important social and political changes. Honors College students and faculty at the University of New Mexico will present their historical research based on the Areu collection and their work of transcribing the music to be played by the New Mexico Philharmonic later in the Festival. This is a free event. Later that same evening at 6:10 p.m., there will be three Silent Film Screenings at the historic KiMo Theatre. The event opens with “The Birth of Film” which encompasses several early silent film shorts. 14
2015/16 Season
This is followed by two classic silent films: Faust from 1926 and The Fall of the House of Usher from 1928. Silent movies provide a glimpse into Manuel Areu’s world. Due to his entrepreneurial spirit, Areu gravitated toward the incipient art of silent cinema in his programs, creating a new concept called “vistas habladas” (talking pictures), in which he showed silent films that he purchased and used actors behind the screen who followed a dialogue according to the story mimicking the lips of the film’s actors. These are, as far as we know, the earliest talking movies. This is a free event. On Sunday, April 17, 2016, 2:00 p.m., at the National Hispanic Cultural Center, the New Mexico Philharmonic will present Music of Manuel Areu: ¡Zarzuelas! Rediscovered Romance. This concert is the culmination of the Manuel Areu Project. Unheard for more than a century, rediscovered Spanish operettas or “Zarzuelas”—by late 19th and early 20th century composer Manuel Areu—will be performed by the NMPhil and conducted by Areu expert and Argentinian native Dr. Javier Lorenzo. These rare masterworks will astound you with their beauty and spirit. Tickets for this performance range from $24 –$68, with $10 student tickets. Later that afternoon from 4:00–6:00 p.m. in the Pete V. Domenici Education Center at the NHCC there will be a Photography Exhibit and Opening Reception— Recovered Genius: Manuel Areu’s Life and Music. The exhibit of the documents related to the life and artistic work of Manuel Areu is the first ever since the collection was rescued from a dumpster in Jerome, Arizona. Honors College faculty and students at the University of New Mexico have designed this exhibit with photographs of playbills, pages of his plays and musical sheets, and sections of his memoirs. The public will also learn about the important historical context of the times and places associated with the composer’s life and work, such as the Cuban War of Independence and the Mexican Revolution. This is a free event, and the Photography Exhibit runs from April 17–May 10, 2016. The Festival’s final event will be on Sunday, April 24, 2016, 10:30 a.m., at Las Puertas with a Chamber Concert and Poetry Reading featuring Cantigas d’Amigo, a Spanish and Celtic Tapestry of Song. Scenes of Spanish mountains, of green rolling Irish hills and cliffs by blue seas, of Scottish moors overlooking dark lochs—the songs of Spain and the Celtic Isles bring all these images to
life. Spanning centuries of a musical treasure trove that includes the Spanish Baroque, medieval Galicia, and traditional Celtic folksongs, Cantigas d’Amigo: A Spanish and Celtic Tapestry of Song is a musical feast for the ears, transporting the listener on a time-traveling journey to visit days gone by. In addition, there will be a poetry reading with poet Michelle Otero who will recite poems by Pablo Neruda, Federico García Lorca, and Josefina Pla. Tickets for this event range from $5–$15, and tickets always sell out. Purchase tickets online at chatterabq. org/boxoffice. Doors open at 9:30 a.m, and it is recommended that you arrive at least by 10 a.m. to secure a good seat. Please enjoy complimentary espresso and homemade pastries while you wait.

The Fabulous Fifth: Match the Magnificence! Moving NMPhil to the Next Level. We are writing to you today to share the joy we all feel as we celebrate your New Mexico Philharmonic’s 5th Anniversary season. The NMPhil has performed five seasons of excellent concerts with exemplary fiscal responsibility and meaningful community involvement. We operate very efficiently, carefully conserving the community’s resources, as a review of our numbers on the following page will show you. We are also writing because we want you to know that the success of our NMPhil is due directly to the generosity of this community. We would not be here without you. Our success is also possible because of the outstanding commitment and very hard work by all involved, especially the musicians, staff, volunteers, board, guest artists, and conductors. Every musician is being paid an average of $7,000 per year. Every one of them is highly qualified; all are graduates of prestigious music schools and accepted as members of the orchestra through a very rigorous audition process. They continue with us because of their commitment, love of the music, and the hope that the orchestra continues on the road to a secure future. Each member of the staff wears multiple hats, works many hours per week beyond the standard 40, and are all paid very modestly. They are clearly doing this work because of their love for the NMPhil. Our guest soloists and conductors are all world class and have come to Albuquerque for a small part of their customary fees because they want to help us. They have believed in what we can do and have been an important part of creating our success. Our November 2015 Annual Fund Drive produced $166,000. While a new high for us, individuals and businesses in our community once donated substantially more to the orchestra. We are happy to report that the NMPhil is a great success even with the limited means presented to us. We are writing to you today with the hope and belief you will agree with us that the NMPhil is a key cultural asset to our community and that it is time to move the NMPhil to a level that is more sustainable for all involved—musicians, staff, volunteers, artists, and board—and that you will join us in The Fabulous Fifth: Match the Magnificence Campaign. With your support, the Fabulous Fifth will help us move your NMPhil to the next level. We will continue to be an important cultural asset to the community in any case, and with your support we will assure an even better future. We invite you to review the important information on the next page that explains in depth our operation and results. Please participate in our quest to take the NMPhil to the next level by making a new or increased donation and committing to additional support for upcoming seasons. We are happy to let you know that your donation will be matched by a group of dedicated donors and board members. Our deepest thanks,

The Fabulous Fifth: Match the Magnificence! Moving NMPhil to the Next Level. FINANCIALS
NMPhil is managed as a business. The organization has operated on a $2,000,000 budget for its four full seasons, with very careful management, razor-thin margins, and no recurring debt. Here are some key business facts:
INCOME
Earned Donated Total Income per Season
EXPENSES
Total Expenses per Season
$1,000,000 $1,000,000 $2,000,000
(ticket sales, advertising, car raffle) (annual fund, individual donations, grants) Ticket sales pay less than half the cost of operating the NMPhil, which is managed extremely conservatively.
$2,000,000
With an overhead of 14% compared to 36% national average for non-profits.
RESULTS
NMPhil has achieved four years of positive results, all with favorable trends, including: • Reaching 40,000+ audience members • Attaining audience satisfaction of 96% and artistic excellence of 97% • Achieving attendance at concerts of 75%+ of venue capacity, well above 50% industry average • Providing education programs that reach 18,000 students, impacting lives and academics • Being the only arts organization in New Mexico to ever receive Quality New Mexico’s Piñón Recognition for excellence in its organizational practices HOW THIS HAS BEEN MADE POSSIBLE
To make NMPhil successful on this budget, key stakeholders have made amazing commitments: • NMPhil Musicians have accepted limited work and fewer rehearsals, resulting in less income • NMPhil Staff (5 full time) all work multiple jobs • Guest Artists and Conductors have accepted greatly reduced fees • Every member of the Board of Directors has donated very generously of their time and resources
