Everyone has a voice.

Shouldn’t yours be heard?

Don’t take your voice for granted.

A weak, breathy, hoarse, scratchy, strained, or graveled voice often indicates a problem. Hoarseness lasting longer than a few weeks probably isn’t “laryngitis.”

Dr. J. Michael King treats the full spectrum of ear, nose, and throat disorders. He is an otolaryngologist and a fellowship-trained laryngologist (voice specialist) providing care to singers, performers, and professional speakers.

As one of only a few specialists in the Western region who performs minimally invasive office procedures, balloon sinuplasty, and laser surgery, Dr. King is always willing to take the time to explain options to help you decide what treatment is right for you.

J. Michael King, MD Services and treatments include• Minimally invasive office procedures of the throat and sinuses • Laser surgery of the vocal cords • Treatments for pre-cancerous lesions or early throat cancers • Microsurgery for vocal cord polyps or cysts • Botox injections for spasmodic dysphonia • Voice restoration for vocal cord paralysis • Esophagoscopy and evaluation for reflux Offices in Broomfield & Golden 403 Summit Blvd., Suite 204 1030 Johnson Road, Suite 350 Broomfield, CO 80021 Golden, CO 80401

La Bohème Type of Opera

Verismo—one of the best-known examples Musical Highlights

La Bohème was composed by Puccini in 1896— 12 years after embarking on his composition career after residing in a family of five-generation opera composers that had always lived in Lucca, Italy. A scholarship to Milan to study with Ponchielli set Puccini on his way to a lifetime of opera composition culminated by Turandot which was published posthumously in 1926.

La Bohème Synopsis

Act I—In a garret

Act III—The Barriére d’Enfer

In their Parisian garret, the painter Marcello works on his “Crossing of the Red Sea” while the poet Rodolfo searches for inspiration. It is so cold in the flat that Rodolfo sacrifices part of his own manuscript to the fire. Colline the philosopher enters, having failed to pawn his books. They are saved by their final roommate, the musician Schaunard. He showers them with food and money, the booty from a three-day gig he has just completed. The friends plan to have a drink, then dine at Café Momus. Their happy mood is quickly deflated by the appearance of their landlord Benoit, demanding his rent for the last three months. Plying him with drink and flattery, the young men feign outrage at his tales of his exploits with the ladies (he prefers plump ones to scrawny one like his wife, he reveals), and toss him out. Rodolfo must remain behind to finish an article but promises to join his friends in a few minutes. He is interrupted by his neighbor, Mimì who needs a light for her candle. Mimì faints briefly—the stairs, she explains. Rodolfo tells her of his life as a poor poet, whose dreams and imagination make him a millionaire. Mimì tells him of her life as a seamstress, whose hobby is making artificial flowers. Although she also lives very simply, in her little attic room she receives spring’s first kiss, she tells him. Rodolfo and Mimì, now already in love, leave together for the Latin Quarter.

It is a cold early morning just outside the Paris gates, where workmen and milk and cheese sellers wait to enter the city. Mimì, however, comes to the inn nearby, for she and Rodolfo have just parted, and she seeks the advice of Marcello, who is now painting a commission for the inn, while Musetta gives singing lessons to travelers.

Marcello sends her home, and accuses Rodolfo of jealousy. Rodolfo, however, finally admits that he can’t bear to see Mimì’s ill health made even worse by the poor living conditions in his drafty attic. Overhearing their conversation, Mimì decides that she and Rodolfo really must part, without bad feelings. Marcello and Musetta are engaged in another of their battles, as she tells him she detests lovers who act like husbands. They storm off, but Mimì and Rodolfo, their love and longing overpowering them, agree to stay together until springtime.

five-minute pause for set change Act II—In the Latin Quarter On Christmas Eve everyone spills onto the street of the Latin Quarter, whose center is the outdoor Café Momus. Everything is for sale, and everyone is shopping: Marcello looks for pretty girls, Schaunard buys a musical instrument, Colline has his coat repaired, and Rodolfo buys Mimì a bonnet. Marcello’s former love, the one and only Musetta appears with a wealthy admirer, but finally regains the attention and love of Marcello. The happy group soon moves on, leaving the old admirer to foot the bill. fifteen-minute intermission

fifteen-minute intermission Act IV—In the garret It is now springtime, and Marcello and Rodolfo exchange news of their ex-girlfriends. First jealous, then lonely, both recall the joy and pain their loves had brought them. Schaunard and Colline break into their somber mood with their delivery of supper, this time in the form of a loaf of bread and one lonely salt herring. The imaginations of the four friends soon transform them into a feast including champagne and parrot’s tongue.

Schaunard declares that he must prepare for a ball, while Colline announces that the King awaits him, to raise him to a government ministry. Amidst the mock celebration a dance is begun which quickly escalates into a fight.

All four are having a grand time when Musetta brings in Mimì, now gravely ill, who has asked to see Rodolfo one last time. Mimi greets the friends, who, having nothing in the house quietly slip away to purchase medicine for her . . . Musetta will sell her earrings, and Colline his overcoat in whose pockets, he says, were once hidden great thoughts of philosophers and poets. Mimì and Rodolfo recall their first meeting, the candle, the lost key, the cold little hand, the bonnet purchased at Christmas Eve, and their days of love and happiness. Musetta arrives with a muff to warm Mimì’s hands, but all is in vain, as the Bohemians gather around her deathbed.

No other opera in history has promulgated the myth of the starving artist, freezing in his garret, more than Puccini’s La Bohème.

One of the most popular operas ever, it was written in 1896 in the middle of the most creative period of Puccini’s life; a period that also brought forth Tosca and Madame Butterfly.

was forced to pay 12,000 Lire, an enormous sum of money at the time, to the Manfredi family. This death haunted Puccini for the rest of his life and at the end of his life, when he was being treated for cancer of the throat at a clinic in Brussels and working on Turandot, he asked his librettists to create another character in the opera; that of the poor servant-girl, Liu, who commits suicide rather than betray Calaf. Puccini managed to stay alive just long enough to finish composing the death of Liu. The rest of the opera was left incomplete.

In stark contrast to Rodolfo, Marcello and friends, Giacomo Puccini was the most commercially successful opera composer there has ever been, living in a villa in the idyllic surroundings of Torre del Lago on the shores of Lake Massaciucco. At his death in 1924 he was worth the equivalent of well over $250m.

All of this is fairly well-known, but it has now come to light that Puccini did have an affair at that time, not with Doria Manfredi, but with her cousin Giulia, who was described as being “independent and commanding, but also humble and affectionate" (exactly like Minnie in The Girl of the Golden West), and that the outcome of this affair was a son. Giulia christened him Antonio, after Puccini's grandfather.

We are used to all sorts of calamities in Puccini’s operas: murder, suicide, vengeance, infidelity, jealousy, despair and tragedy; but nothing that he, or his librettists, ever dreamed up can compare to the great man’s private life.

“I am a mighty hunter of wild fowl, operatic librettos and attractive women,” he declared, and, one might add, not necessarily in that order. He was well known for having affairs, and, when working on an opera, he tended to fall in love with a real-life person similar to his protagonist. Puccini called these amours his “little gardens.”

The most famous scandal surrounding Puccini, while he was working on The Girl of the Golden West, was the death of his maid, Dora Manfredi, who Elvira, Puccini’ s wife, literally hounded to death because she was convinced that Dora and Puccini were having an affair. “I will drown her in the lake,” Elvira declared, but before she could do so, the poor girl took her own life in despair. In the note she left behind, she requested an autopsy to prove that she was still a virgin. She was. Elvira was convicted of defamation, slander and menaces, and Puccini

Antonio’s daughter, Nadia, is still alive and, as the legitimate daughter of Puccini’s illegitimate son, wishes to prove that she is descended from Puccini so that she can have justice for her father, who died in poverty, never knowing that his father was the great composer. But Simonetta Puccini, who owns the estate, has gone to court to try and prevent this. This case has being going on for several years.

The twist in this tale is that Simonetta is also the product of an affair. She was born Simonetta Giurumello, and in 1980 she went before the Italian civil court, and proved conclusively that she was the heir to the Puccini name, by virtue of being the illegitimate daughter of Puccini's legitimate son, also called Antonio, who had died in 1946.

Truly the stuff of opera.

L A BO HÈ ME by Gia c o mo Pu c c in i, O c to b e r 25, 26, 27, 2013

Some stories never change Many in the audience, no doubt, have seen Puccini’s La Bohème— possibly over and over again. The beautiful music never changes nor does the story line. As it goes, the ending never changes either.

In this year’s opening production, however, several changes deserve noting. The CU Opera Studies program continues its collaboration with some of Italy’s top talent when it welcomes stage director Paolo Panizza to the stage. Panizza has led the historic Arena di Verona for more than 20 years.

The tradition of double casting the performances continues this year. Saturday night’s performance provides an opportunity to showcase a former CU alum— Jason Baldwin—in the role of Rodolfo. Baldwin makes his home in Boulder and frequently performs with Opera Colorado and other companies around the country.

Mix in these this alumni, returning for a cameo performance, with a visiting Italian stage director along with a poignant love story and you have the makings of a memorable musical experience. In spite of various obstacles, none the least of which is financial and health, the quest for love remains.

The cast members on stage and in the pit, have a deep love for the music they create. They enjoy the patronage of those who attend their performances as well as the donors who provide both scholarship and Adopt-A-Student support.

Our lives are enriched by their musical talents; theirs by our attendance and financial support.

As the curtain opens on the 2013-14 Opera Season at CUBoulder, we hope you’ll enjoy this production of La Bohème.

Pull out your kleenex and be prepared to have your heart strings pulled anew when you hear these famous arias.

Martha (Marty) Coffin Evans, Ed.D Chair, Vocal Music Advisory Board

CU OPERA

G

reat repertoire, lavish scenery, amazing voices, and outstanding value— these are the hallmarks of CU Opera. Director Leigh Holman and Music Director Nicholas Carthy bring you the best of classical and contemporary opera in three fascinating productions each season and in CU New Opera Workshop in the summer.

La Bohème (sung in Italian)

Hansel and Gretel (sung in English)

Side by Side by Sondheim (sung in English)

by Giacomo Puccini

by Engelbert Humperdinck

by Stephen Sondheim

Directed by guest artist Paolo Panizza

Humperdinck’s enchanting opera of the classic Grimm fairy tale follows two children into the forest, where they find a gingerbread house . . . and its hungry witch.

More than a revue of the incomparable Broadway composer’s work, Side by Side

by Sondheim features his bestknown tunes alongside narration exploring the context of each piece.

In the Latin Quarter of Paris, Rodolfo the idealistic poet falls in love with Mimi, a frail but resolute milliner. Around their tender love story, Puccini depicts the exuberant lives of struggling young artists, expressing joie de vivre, love, and ultimately heartbreak.
