In addition, the renowned Canadian author André Alexis will read poems by Anna Akhmatova, Roo Borson and one of his own, Johnson Grass, from his 2019 novel Days by Moonlight. Larry Beckwith, Dylan Bell, Andrew Downing, Gordon Gerrard, Robert Kortgaard, Marion Newman, Patricia O’Callaghan, Suba Sankaran and Bijan Sepanji will perform music by Randy Newman, Ernest Chausson, Edith Piaf, Béla Bartok, Peter Maxwell Davies, Gustav Mahler, Leonard Cohen, Suba Sankaran, The Beatles, Charlie Chaplin and others. Let’s Stay Together: A Confluence Salon will air on the Confluence Youtube Channel at 7pm EST with a pre-show Q&A at 6.30pm. June 24th sees the return, virtually, of Larry Beckwith’s Confluence Concerts. I don’t think I’ve seen that from the Met before.Ĭontinue reading → Posted in Opera news and views - elsewhere, Web streams and casts | Tagged metropolitan opera, vancouver opera | Leave a reply Things virtual coming up There’s also Matthew Aucoin’s Eurydice that premiered in Los ngeles in February and was thus probably the last new major opera before the storm hit. I’m curious to see how the “surround sound” elements of Dean’s music work in such a big house. There’s also Brett Dean’s Hamlet in the Glyndebourne production and with most of the Glyndebourne cast but not Barbara Hannigan. Looks like an all African American cast for that and the co-director and choreography is also African-American. There’s the first opera by an African-American composer Terence Blanchard’s Fire Shut Up in My Bones.
They took the opportunity to announce the 2021/22 season at the same time. Perhaps not unexpectedly the Metropolitan Opera has announced the cancellation of the balance of their 2020/21 season.
