WFMT celebrates Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month with music infl uenced by Indian, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean cultures; the Metropolitan Opera’s production of Puccini’s Madama Butterfly ; and Yumeji’s Theme from In the Mood for Love from Japanese film composer Shigeru Umebayashi.

From the President & CEO The Guide

Dear Member,

This month on WTTW, we take you to Wyoming's Grand Teton National Park to meet its most famous bear, Grizzly 399, who is raising four young cubs while grappling with the effects of climate change and human encroachment. Now, as a new episode of Nature illustrates, state governments are seeking to remove grizzlies from the endangered species list, which would make it legal to hunt them. Follow this epic clash between humans and the wild.

Each May we observe Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month. On WTTW, we will bring you Meet and Eat at Lee's Garden, a filmmaker's poignant look back at her family's restaurant, a mainstay in Montreal's Chinatown; Photographic Justice: The Corky Lee Story, a film about an activist photographer whose striking images of Asian American life inspired many; and The Vow from Hiroshima, which follows a survivor of the devastating atomic blast as she fights to ban the future use of such weapons. We'll also commemorate Jewish Heritage Month with programming throughout the month, including a new documentary about Pittsburgh's community response to hate in the aftermath of the assault on three congregations at the Tree of Life synagogue in 2018.

WFMT celebrates AAPI Heritage Month with a special episode of Introductions featuring music influenced by Indian, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean cultures, including works by Reena Esmail, Tan Dun, Mischa Zupko, and Manuel de Falla and Zarin Mehta. And don't miss the Metropolitan Opera's production of Puccini's Madama Butterfly, and a work by the prolific Japanese film composer Shigeru Umebayashi: Yumeji's Theme from In the Mood for Love. To mark Jewish Heritage Month, composer Jake Heggie and Chicago Tribune reporter Howard Reich join WFMT to preview the world premiere opera Before It All Goes Dark , based on the true story of a man who learns he is the sole heir to a priceless art collection stolen by the Nazis and discovers a Jewish identity he never knew.

We are grateful that you are choosing to spend your time with WTTW and WFMT. Thank you, as always, for your support.

Sincerely,

Sandra Cordova Micek President & CEO

Q&A

MaryLand premieres

Sunday, May 5 at 8:00 pm

The new Sunday night drama

MaryLand , premiering May 5 at 8:00 pm, is a story about two sisters – what binds them together and what has driven them apart. Viewers will meet Becca (Suranne Jones, also MaryLand ’s co-creator) and Rosaline (Eve Best) who find themselves thrown together by the sudden death of their mother, Mary, who they discover was living a entirely secret life on the Isle of Man. Read what Jones and Best had to say about

the process of creating this story and these characters.

Tell us about your character Rosaline and her relationship with her sister Becca.

EVE BEST: Rosaline and Becca have polar opposite lives, as often happens with siblings. Rosaline has a high-flying career in London. She’s single, childless, driven, and devoted to her job, but also feels isolated. I think

Rosaline felt a deep sense of separation from her mother and Becca – there was a bond between them that she herself could never tap into.

They deal with things very differently once they arrive on the Isle of Man.

BEST: In the initial fallout from their mother’s death, Becca starts to unravel more and more, and it’s Rosaline who becomes the

responsible one. Her strength shines through for both of them.

You and Suranne have an amazing chemistry. How did that come about?

BEST: Suranne is phenomenal. I think we immediately connected with each other. Because of the writing and the situation, it was a very supportive and flowing dynamic – and fun.

Eve Best as Rosaline and Suranne Jones as Becca

What were your feelings when you first read the script?

BEST: I was really intrigued by it. I loved the fact that it was a female-led project. It’s always exciting when you are presented with these rare jewels – character pieces led by women that investigate their stories, their relationships, their losses, and their journeysit’s the kind of work I love.

How did you like filming in Ireland?

BEST: Loved it, loved it, loved it. It was just so beautiful to be able to be there on location rather than in a studio. The Irish crew were also central to that. And being by the sea – it was a lovely place to be and a lovely team to work with. I found myself looking in a lot of real estate windows.

How did this project come about?

SURANNE JONES: I had an initial idea for a story about two sisters finding out that their mother – a 60-something-year-old woman –was leading a double life. We’re used to seeing men leading double lives in drama all the time, but we never see women doing that. So I wanted to explore that. Also, it was important to include prominent characters that were in their '40s, '50s, '60s, and '70s. These people have lived and have experience, and it’s easy to forget that.

My agents teamed me up with [writer] Anne-Marie (O’Connor). I knew Anne-Marie socially, but hadn’t worked with her in a creative or professional capacity. So, we got together two and a half years ago and got the first episode in really good shape. Then [production company] Monumental Television came onboard and really got behind our vision. Executive producing wasn’t new to me, but I had never created an original story and developed it with a writer in a writers’ room. I enjoyed it.

“We’re used to seeing men leading double lives in drama all the time, but we never see women doing that.”

SURANNE JONES

And did you find it gave you a new kind of buzz, seeing those relationships that you first imagined coming alive on the screen?

JONES: On the first day of filming when Eve [Best], Dean [Lennox Kelly], Andy [Knott], and George [Costigan] were there, I thought, “Oh! We have invented these people, and here they are.” So there was definitely a new buzz...I found that I loved being a creator and a producer.

And this is a very female-led production. How does that translate on the ground?

JONES: We had a truly blissful experience. The teams at Monumental Television and in the writers’ room were just beautiful to be around. Anne-Marie was on set with us a lot of the time because it’s a character piece and she wanted to be able to suggest little nuances that we could add in or take away. And I think that’s the beauty of women, being able to talk things through. So yes, it was a great experience.

Tell me about your character, Becca.

JONES: I had the choice of playing either sister, and I wanted to play someone relatable – a busy mom with two kids and a husband. The Beccas of this world are perhaps not represented on screen as much as other people – women who are a bit stuck, work really hard, but don’t think too much about themselves. Then suddenly everything that Becca knows about her mother and herself is blown apart. It brings up a lot of

questions about how happy she is with her life.

Did you enjoy playing her?

JONES: I loved playing Becca, someone who was being dragged along by the story. She’s a very different kind of character for me than the ones I’ve recently played.

How did you and Eve (Best) go about creating that chemistry needed to show the journey they’re on?

JONES: I didn’t know Eve before MaryLand , but I loved her in other roles. I think the chemistry developed when we were doing the read-throughs and trying on costumes. I kept saying, “Oh my God, you look gorgeous!” Because she has beautiful designer coats and bags and sunglasses. And we had to rustle up something for Becca straight off the rack. The costume envy I had with Eve translates in some ways to the characters.

I just love the way that it becomes a love story about them. It’s sweet to see two sisters find that bond, because a lot of families don’t have that because they’ve gone in separate directions. I think most people have a story within their family – a secret, a bombshell, a tragedy. These sisters are no exception, and the result of lots of conversations between myself, Anne-Marie, and our team.

You have an amazing supporting cast, including Stockard Channing.

JONES: We actually manifested Stockard! Every day in the writers’ room we’d say, “Stockard Channing is going to play Cathy.” And then she did! We still can’t quite believe it, but we absolutely loved her. She’s brilliant – a total rock star!

In the Spotlight

Listening to Singers

Just in time for the Giacomo Puccini (1858 – 1924) anniversary year, an American tenor has emerged as a specialist in the composer’s lateRomantic era verismo style. Born in Chile, Jonathan Tetelman was adopted by an American couple when he was six months old and grew up in Princeton, New Jersey. He began training as a baritone, but transitioned to tenor and in the past few years has been on a meteoric rise culminating in his debut at the Met in two Puccini operas: La rondine, broadcast in April, and Madama Butterfly, which will be broadcast on WFMT and in cinemas on May 11. Tetelman makes his Chicago debut as the marquee artist for Opera Festival of Chicago’s gala Puccini Forever in June.

In the Spotlight

Folkstage

In April 1924, the Barn Dance premiered on WLS in Chicago, setting the stage for all that followed in country music, including the Grand Ole Opry. The show ran until 1969, at its height attracting live audiences in the thousands and listeners from across the nation. Historian and author Mark Guarino says, ““Long before the genre was named, country music flourished on the WLS airwaves, which transformed the music from a local commodity in communities throughout the upland South to living rooms throughout the United States.” To celebrate the role Chicago has played in 100 years of country music history, WFMT presents performances by Gerald Dowd, Jon Langford & Sally Timms, NIkki Morgan, Andrew Sa, Marvin Tate, and other guests recorded live at the Hideout.

10:00 Fiesta! with Elbio Barilari: Colonial Music from Brazil

In the Spotlight

Baroque&Before

Federico Fiorio made his debut as an adult male soprano (the highest range for a countertenor) in his hometown of Verona at the age of 16. Having begun his performing career as a boy soprano at age 13, by age 19, Fiorio was already being described as a “revelation” (OperaWire) for his performance as the lead role of a baroque rarity at the Festival Vicenza in Lirica. Now in his mid-20’s, Fiorio has been showcased by the leading baroque specialist conductors like Giovanni Antonini, Ottavio Dantone, and Diego Fasolisis and is indemand for his signature character, the haughty emperor Nero both in Monteverdi’s Coronation of Poppea and Handel’s Agrippina — roles that remain the principal territory of high (female) mezzo-sopranos. Fiorio is the featured vocalist in a concert of Italian Seicento vocal and instrumental works with the new ensemble La florida Capella.

With some of the largest archives of music from the colonial period in the Americas, Elbio presents rarely heard Brazilian musical treasures.

In the Spotlight

San Francisco Symphony

No Such Spring by Samuel Carl Adams, former CSO Mead Composer-in-Residence, is given its world premiere on this program conducted by Esa-Pekka Salonen. The commission features a prominent solo piano part in tandem with the orchestra. Adams resists calling it a concerto, but rather “a virtuosic symphonic work with the piano acting as the orchestra’s inner voice.” The title of the piece conveys a story related to its creation. Adams recalls listening to Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring around the beginning of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, as he was writing the second movement of the piece. The feeling of “bearing witness to a very violent spring, both abroad and here in America” influenced his concept of the paradox that springtime itself entails, of being “both beautiful and brutally violent.”
