Stump An Opera Singer...

-
Last week, when sending out my "10 Questions With..." interviews to our 2010 singers I noticed a glaring omission; I didn't send one to Sylvie Valayre, our Abigaille in Nabucco.

You see, Sylvie was our first "10 Questions With..." interview that we posted on the very first post on this blog.

Not wanting to bore her with similar questions, and so completely unoriginal that I couldn't come up with 10 new questions myself, I got to thinking; what if we had you, our dear readers, ask your own question to Sylvie.

Sylvie being the great person she is, thought it would be neat.

So, here's how "Stump An Opera Singer" works:

- Send a question to Sylvie Valayre at blog@sdopera.com

- Put "Stump An Opera Singer" in the subject line.

- We'll accept questions until July 1, 2009.

- After July 1 we will choose, at random, 10 or so questions to have Sylvie answer.

- Yes, you can send in more than one question.

Based on how successful this is, we'll find another hapless, um, willing singer for the next round of "Stump An Opera Singer." Maybe we'll even let you decide who that singer should be.

Have fun!

Do you want questions like "If you were to run away and join the circus, what role would you fill?" or "The libretto of Haydn's 1777 opera "Il Mondo della Luna" is based on a comedy by what Italian author?"

AriaGirl,

While we like both of these questions, Google and such can answer trivia questions such as Carlo Goldoni was the the author who wrote the libretto based on his own story.

Only Sylvie can answer the circus question which I'm sure she will answer with delight.

Can you send it over to me at blog@sdopera.com

Five Things About La boheme You Don't Need To Know But Will Be Glad You Did

-
Getting ready with Dr. Nic last week for a TV interview he came up with five tidbits about La boheme to be used on air. Live TV being what live TV is, not all of them made it onto the show, but I thought they were interesting enough to be recycled here on the blog. Besides, I'm busy hammering away at the 2011 press release so pressed for time today. 2011 press release you say? You betcha. But, faithful readers, here's a tidbit: a certain married couple returns to us next season in another opera by Gounod. Without further ado, five things about La boheme you'll be glad to know 1) Giacomo Puccini’s opera La boheme is one of the three most popular operas ever written but it wasn ’t always that way. It was not an immediate success. An opera by a rival Italian composer, Ruggiero Leoncavallo, on the same subject (and also named Le bohème ) premiered about a year after Puccini’s and was quite successful. It’s possible that, in fact, Puccini actually stole the idea

10 Interesting Facts About Faust

-
A few weeks ago Dr. Nic shared with us 10 interesting things about Der Rosenkavalier , born out of an agonizing ride in the elevator where we stopped on every floor from the subterranean parking garage to the 18 th floor. Luckily we didn't have to recreate that experience to get 10 interesting facts about Faust ... 1. There is a well-known Christmas carol hidden in Méphistophélès ’ first aria, “Le veau d’or”, often called the “Golden Calf aria”. 2. The best known tune from Faust, Valentin’s aria “ Avant de quitter”, was added in 1864, a couple of years after the premiere of the opera (1859) for performances in London. It was sung in English at those performances and the French version followed later. 3. Although the story of Faust is based on Goethe’s original verse play (1806), it only covers Part I of the poet’s version, avoiding the more philosophical depths of Part II. 4. The source of the story of Faust was an actual person, a Doctor Johann

Pop Star to Opera Star

We here at Aria Serious are torn by the news that ITV in the UK is filming a new reality series called "Pop Star to Opera Star" where pop stars will tackle the operatic repertoire while being mentored by Katherine Jenkins and Rolando Villazon. While we here at Aria Serious love to see our favorite art form on prime time TV, we're also concerned that this lowers the artistic standard. In a Company that prides itself in attracting the best talent possible, do shows like this undermine our work or is it a much needed breath of fresh air? One thing the show has going for it - Meatloaf (the singer, not the leftovers in your fridge) will be a judge. You can read about it here .
