RENÉE FLEMING STARS IN FILM OF LA TRAVIATA
FROM LONDON’S ROYAL OPERA COMPANY
SOUTHAMPTON, NY 2/17/2011 —As part of Emerging Pictures’ Opera in Cinema series, the Parrish Art Museum is presenting the Royal Opera Company’s 2009 production of Giuseppe Verdi’s La Traviata on Sunday, February 27, at 2 pm. The production stars the celebrated American soprano Renée Fleming, as well as renowned Maltese tenor Joseph Calleja and the American baritone Thomas Hampson.
One of the most popular operas in the canon, La Traviata was composed in 1853 and based on the play La dame aux camellias by Alexandre Dumas, fils. The title means “the fallen woman” and refers to the heroine, Violetta Valery, a courtesan in nineteenth-century France. Pursued by Alfredo Germont, she at first rejects his declaration of love, but by Act II she and Alfredo are sharing a country house near Paris. Their idyll is doomed, however, by the intercession of Alfredo’s father, jealousy, misunderstandings, and ill health, among other dramatic events.
According to Emerging Pictures’ cultural programming curator Christiana Little, “The role of Violetta is widely considered one of the most challenging (if not most feared!) in the soprano repertoire. The score requires a vast range of vocal pyrotechnics from the performer, and also sheer endurance—Violetta is onstage for nearly the entire opera.”
Tickets to La Traviata are $14 for Parrish members, $17 for nonmembers. The running time is 136 minutes.
The Museum's programs are made possible, in part, with public funds from the New York State Council on the Arts, celebrating 50 years of building strong, creative communities in New York State's 62 counties, and the property taxpayers from the Southampton School District and the Tuckahoe Common School District.

RIGOLETTO AGAIN?
PARRISH PRESENTS NEW VERSION FILMED IN THE STREETS AND PALACES OF MANTUA, WITH PLACIDO DOMINGO IN THE TITLE ROLE
SOUTHAMPTON, NY 2/11/2011 — Giuseppe Verdi’s opera Rigoletto is one of the best known and most performed works in the opera canon. As part of Emerging Pictures’ Opera in Cinema series, the Parrish Art Museum is presenting a unique interpretation of Verdi’s masterpiece on Sunday, February 20, at 2 pm. This version, also known as Rigoletto in Mantua, was filmed not in an opera house but in the streets, alleyways, palaces, and courtyards of Mantua over a two-day period in 2010 by noted Italian film director Marco Bellocchio.
The real Palazzo Ducale of Mantua, replete with Andrea Mantegna’s early Renaissance ceiling frescoes, is only one star of this production. Placido Domingo, who has performed the tenor role of the Duke of Mantua many times, here undertakes the baritone role of Rigoletto. According to Domingo, “When [producer] Andrea Andermann invited me to interpret the part of Rigoletto, I replied that there were so many good baritones in the world who could sing it. But Andrea said that he wasn’t looking for a baritone, but rather for the Rigoletto whom I, Placido Domingo, could bring to life.” The role of the Duke is played by tenor Vittorio Grigolo, who is one of the hottest young opera stars performing today.
According to Anne Ozorio of Opera Today, “Realism never comes more authentic than this Rigoletto filmed live on location in Mantua, Italy…Just as Verdi indicated, each Act unfolds at the correct time of day, in the place indicated in the libretto. No ordinary theatre has the capacity to create a production as loyal to the composer’s instructions as this.” Tickets to Rigoletto are $14 for Parrish members, $17 for nonmembers. The running time is 153 minutes.
The Museum's programs are made possible, in part, with public funds from the New York State Council on the Arts, celebrating 50 years of building strong, creative communities in New York State's 62 counties, and the property taxpayers from the Southampton School District and the Tuckahoe Common School District.

Milton Avery at Nassau County Museum of Art
| Milton Avery & THE END OF MODERNISM January 22, 2011 through May 8, 2011 I try to construct a picture in which shapes, spaces, colors, form a set of unique relationships, independent of any subject matter. At the same time I try to capture and translate the excitement and emotion aroused in me by the impact with the original idea. - Milton Avery Milton Avery & the End of Modernism looks at work by the artist who brought the sketch, with its spontaneity, movement and fleetingness, to the status of a finished painting. The exhibition features Avery’s intense saturated color fields, the simplification of form, and figures that emphasize the flatness of canvas surface. Milton Avery & the End of Modernism opens on January 22, 2011 and remains on view through May 8, 2011. It is organized for NCMA by Director Karl E. Willers, Ph.D. The exhibition was organized by the Neuberger Museum of Art, Purchase College, State University of New York. It was funded, in part, by the New York State Council for the Arts, a state agency; the Friends of the Neuberger Museum of Art; and the Westchester Arts Council. For presentation at NCMA, the exhibition was expanded as Milton Avery & the End of Modernism. This exhibition examines the contributions of Milton Avery as a significant figurative painter from the late 1920s through the early 1960s. Milton Avery & the End of Modernism takes a concerted look at the development of Avery’s signature paintings from his idiosyncratic drawing style that captures the essence of a person, place or time. According to Dr. Willers, this places Avery’s work within a long history of modernist practice that recognizes the artist’s sketch as a “final, complete and a self-sufficient work of art.” Within the emergence of his avant-garde style, said Dr. Willers, Avery can be seen as one of the preeminent American painters of his time, exerting great influence among both his contemporaries and subsequent generations of artists. Further assessing Avery’s place in American art history, Patterson Sims wrote in an essay for the Whitney Museum of American Art: “Early in Avery's career, when Social Realism and American Scene painting were the prevailing artistic styles, the semi-abstract tendencies in his work were viewed by many as too radical. In the 1950s, a period dominated by Abstract Expressionism, he was overlooked by critics because of his adherence to recognizable subject matter. Nevertheless, his work, with its emphasis on color, was important to many younger artists, particularly to Mark Rothko, Adolph Gottlieb, Barnett Newman, Helen Frankenthaler, and other Color Field painters.” The museum is sponsoring several informative programs in connection with Milton Avery & the End of Modernism, among them two Tea & Tour events featuring exclusive docent-led exhibition tours with introductions by Dr. Willers; an illustrated talk by art historian Charles A. Riley II, Ph.D.; and a series of three lectures on the exhibition by Dr. Willers. For details, please visit the Events page of this site. ========== |
