Margarita Xirgu (soprano Ana María Martinez) the Spanish poet and dramatist Federico García Lorca (sung by mezzo-soprano Daniela Mack) where most works date back a century or two written in English before being translated into Spanish by the composer scaled-down piece that eschews the overblown or bombastic and is instead often stylistically bold and exciting considered among the preeminent Spanish playwrights of this century may be best known for “Blood Wedding” and “The House of Bernarda Alba” From the window of his boyhood home he could see a statue of Mariana Pineda (1804-1831) “Mariana Pineda,” which premiered in Madrid in 1927 and starred Margarita Xirgu in the leading role But then we have the fictitious Nuria (soprano Vanessa Becerra) whose purpose here is to preserve and perpetuate the memory of the deceased writer She sings: “Perhaps he already knew/ somewhere in that poet’s soul/ that his fate and hers/ would be as one.” It’s all a little reminiscent of the García Márquez novella “Chronicle of a Death Foretold,” or one of the plays (“Time and the Conways,” “An Inspector Calls”) by J.B and so in a sense we are experiencing Margarita Xirgu’s last thoughts as she stands in the wings of a stage in Montevideo she was in the Americas when the Spanish Civil War broke out I’m assuming that Lorca’s story resonated in a more personal way for the composer experienced the heyday of the military dictatorship that ruled the country from 1976 to 1983; and in some manner his role is a little like Xirgu’s student Nuria whose implied responsibility is to ensure that what transpired is not forgotten: Here it is And I’m sure it hardly needs be said that the opera is timely today as a would-be strongman sits in the White House I have to confess that although I saw Long Beach Opera’s production of “Ainadamar” at the Terrace Theater back in 2012 will I have lost virtually all memory of this production when we come to the end of the next decade I’ve been listening intently to the 2006 Deutsche Grammophon recording that featured Dawn Upshaw and Kelley O’Connor there are facets of the current rendition that are worth noting: It’s mostly a riveting and exquisite production a mesmerizing use of projections (Tai Rosner) compelling flamenco choreography (Antonio Najarro) directed and with additional choreography by Deborah Colker and conducted with true passion by Lina González-Granados I also want to highlight two other performers who enthralled me: tenor Alfredo Tejada as the vigilante Ramón Ruiz Alonso (with his muezzin-like calls for the arrest of Lorca) and the sensuous solo dancer Laura Peralta often excitingly percussive and at other times dreamy and surrealistic (as when the young ladies sing “Mariana Pineda your eyes shine brighter than the stars].) The singing also employs a style known as cante jondo “what people call flamenco but it’s actually deep song from Andalusia sung by the Roma people.” or when four dancers go through their movements while standing atop tall columns enclosing the audience in a perfect environment where one can lose oneself while witnessing a creative retelling of the life and tragic death of a notable young man who gave the world so much Ainadamar is onstage at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion Grand Avenue at the Music Center in downtown Los Angeles “Ainadamar” is sung in Spanish with both English and Spanish supertitles projected above the stage and fun on the Music Center’s Jerry Moss Plaza for a Celebración de las Artes hosted by LA Opera Connects and Hispanics for LA Opera the May 7 performance will mark Pride Night with a special post-performance gathering for attendees Tickets begin at $24.50 and can be purchased online at LAOpera.org More information about the production is available at LAOpera.org/Ainadamar Easy Reader News & Peninsula Magazine is your trusted source for hyperlocal news and stories from the South Bay and Palos Verdes Peninsula Stay informed—get the top local stories delivered straight to your inbox Terms of Service | Privacy Policy | Legal Notices This website is using a security service to protect itself from online attacks The action you just performed triggered the security solution There are several actions that could trigger this block including submitting a certain word or phrase You can email the site owner to let them know you were blocked Please include what you were doing when this page came up and the Cloudflare Ray ID found at the bottom of this page There are no statistics available for this player Thanks for visiting The use of software that blocks ads hinders our ability to serve you the content you came here to enjoy We ask that you consider turning off your ad blocker so we can deliver you the best experience possible while you are here How To Wear It The Cartier Tank Cintrée In-Depth Examining Value And Price Over Time With The ‘No Date’ Rolex Submariner Watches In The Wild The Road Through America, Episode 1: A Model Of Mass Production A chronograph with mid-century vibes makes for an impressive follow-up from the young New York brand Remember Lorca? In early 2023, the new brand, founded by Canadian-Swiss-New Yorker Jesse Marchant, pleasantly surprised with its Model No. 1. That watch was a 36mm GMT so good that author Gary Shteyngart waxed poetically about it which takes the proportions and mid-century inspiration of its first release and applies them to the chronograph 2 Chronograph has something else: Refinement While it picks up on many of the cues of the Model No it's hard to pinpoint any specific mid-century or vintage inspiration this is what makes for a successful "heritage" design especially for an upstart brand like Lorca with no heritage to call its own 2's 316L stainless steel case measures 37 x 14.1mm and much of that thickness is due to the domed sapphire crystal – the case itself is 11.6mm The case has a mix of polished and brushed surfaces It has a grooved pattern that feels very of the 1950s think the Rolex Datejust "Thunderbird" or my grandma's fancy silverware rotating bezel with 12-hour markers in Lorca's own font (love a good open "6") It's an atypical choice for a chronograph – more on that in a moment 2 is delivered on a nine-row bracelet similar to that seen on its GMT and tapers nicely from 20mm at the lugs to 16mm at the clasp It's also worth commending Lorca for that clasp a noticeable improvement over what larger brands are prone to stamping out at this price point It also has a no-tool micro-adjust in the clasp an improvement over the Model No 1's bracelet I was able to get hands-on with a prototype of the latter and I like the effect of the grey subdial with warm undertones along with polished indices that are filled with Super-LumiNova The other two dial options for the Lorca Model No Inside the Model No. 2 is the manual-wind Sellita 510M. It's a cam-operated chronograph caliber with 63-hour power reserve beating at 4 Hz. Lorca has opted for what Sellita calls its special or elaboré standard, meaning it's regulated a bit more tightly than its standard (special is the second of four grades Sellita offers) 2 opens for pre-order on October 1 at 10 AM ET While it'll join Lorca's permanent collection 2 is a strong follow-up effort from the young brand 1 gave us something we hadn't really seen at the time – a 36mm GMT – the Model No 2 joins a small but growing list of mid-century-styled mechanical chronographs with wearable proportions adorned with just a cursive "Lorca," and "Model No The three subdials feel completely familiar for a chronograph the bezel is also the easiest thing to critique – or praise – about the Model No it would've been easy enough to order up a polished bezel with a tachymeter scale and call it a day So I applaud them for doing something different That said: I kinda wish I knew what this watch would've looked like with that bezel I'm sure the renders are out there somewhere and I'm sure it's less interesting than the final Model No I'd imagine that whether or not you like the Model No for timing your laps or hard-boiled eggs or whatever else A new brand like Lorca needs to do things differently When I mention the competition I'm thinking of recent chronograph releases from Furlan Marri, Oak & Oscar But the Lorca stands out by reaching 100 meters of water resistance a spec I'm not sure we've seen in a chronograph this thin (please let me know if you can think of others) I appreciate Lorca's commitment to certain specs It's not an abstract exercise in manifesting some mid-century design that never was but also an effort to build a manual-wind mechanical chronograph fit for modern life as much as that very string of words isn't a prima facie contradiction in terms I'm sure they'll enjoy swimming – and timing – laps with their new Lorca Model No a manual-wind chronograph with 63-hour power reserve.  Diameter: 37mm (38mm at bezel; 46mm lug-to-lug)Thickness: 14.1mm (11.6mm case)Case Material: 316L stainless steelDial Color: Satin black or warm grey sunray with silver subdialsIndexes: AppliedLume: BGW9 Super-LumiNova in indices and handsWater Resistance: 100 metersStrap/Bracelet: 316L stainless steel 9-row bracelet with double-push button clasp Caliber: Sellita SW510M Functions: ChronographDiameter: 30mmThickness: 7mmPower Reserve: 63 hoursWinding: ManualFrequency: 4 hJewels: 23Additional Details: Soigine/elabore Sellita Price: $2,650Availability: Pre-order open October 1 at 10 AM ETLimited Edition: The first production run is limited to 300 pieces (to be delivered May 2025); the Model No For more, visit Lorca Watches Introducing The Doxa Sub 200, Now With A Steel Bezel Introducing Seiko Prospex 1968 Heritage Diver’s GMT 60th Anniversary Edition SPB519 Watch Spotting The Watches & Fashion Of Met Gala 2025 Business News Rolex Will Raise U.S. Prices In Response To Tariffs Six Of The Coolest CPO Rolex Watches I Saw In London's Old Bond Street Rolex Boutique Reference Points The Cartier Tank Louis Introducing The Christopher Ward C12 'Loco' (Live Pics) Hands-On Tudor's Black Bay Pro Gets A Surprisingly Dramatic Facelift With An Opaline Dial All the watches you need to know about, delivered to your inbox daily. Angel Blue as Margarita Xirgu and Daniela Mack as Federico García Lorca in Osvaldo Golijov’s “Ainadamar.” On the first day of rehearsal for “Ainadamar” at the Metropolitan Opera in New York Brazilian director and choreographer Deborah Colker led the singers dancers and soloists in an exercise in movement Although opera stagings are sometimes static, with singers standing, facing forward and singing, Colker said that she wanted a more kinetic, fluid staging to complement the musical rhythms and the story that “Ainadamar”tells That is something each opera house’s cast members learn anew, with each staging. The production, which opened at the Scottish Opera before going to Wales and Detroit, plays through Nov. 9 at the Metropolitan Opera. In the spring, it will move on to the LA Opera “Ainadamar” delves into the relationship between the famous Spanish playwright and poet Federico García Lorca and Maria Xirgu, the actress who was his muse. Xirgu was performing in one of Lorca’s plays in Cuba when the fascists jailed and murdered him in Spain in 1936 The opera is told from her perspective in the final moments of her life This is Colker’s first time directing an opera. She runs a dance company in Brazil and has directed Cirque du Soleil’s popular show, “Ovo.”  “Ainadamar” has been done a lot since it premiered at Tanglewood in western Massachusetts 21 years ago, but Colker’s interpretation leans into the music’s flamenco rhythms and flamenco dancing, according to Argentinian-born composer Osvaldo Golijov who created the music (the libretto is by David Henry Hwang) Golijov said that he was surprised and delighted by the results “It’s a real revelation for me,” Golijov said “Because I never imagined that the opera could be danced from top to bottom.” When the curtain rises on “Ainadamar,” a man does a Spanish dance surrounded by a circular A video of a bull is projected behind him as the sound of hoofbeats melds into flamenco rhythms That kind of physicality runs throughout the performance — something that soprano Angel Blue She said that at one point during the show and the dancers are actually assisting me and pulling me up.” how many hours a day of training to be able to do that — there’s those two specific moves in that scene that are very hard to do.” who’s sung Puccini and Gershwin at the Met but calls herself a “theater kid” at heart  “Deborah created a space that was safe to rehearse in,” the singer said “maybe that’s why this is my favorite opera that I’ve been in Mezzo-soprano Daniela Mack plays the passionate doomed playwright in what is called in opera a “trouser role.” She said when she was offered the part “They were very clear that it was a very physical production and that I was going to have to move on the stage born in Argentina and raised in the United States the singer recalled: “I remember in Detroit taking the fans home to work on my little choreography in my hotel room Antonio Najarro was brought in to work on the flamenco moments in the opera it was that you don’t have to know who is the singer delivered to your inbox every weekday morning Thanks to our sponsor PRX is a 501(c)(3) organization recognized by the IRS: #263347402 A community bulletin board for Western Pierce County WA – Tacoma Little Theatre and The University of Washington-Tacoma Theatre Department bring Pulitzer Prize-winner Lorca in a Green Dress is directed by Maria-Tania Bandes B and choreographed by Marisela Fleites-Lear Lorca in a Green Dress pays homage to Federico García Lorca writer of Gypsy Ballads, Mariana Pineda and Play Without a Title.  Lorca was killed by fascist forces on August 19 1936 in the opening days of the Spanish Civil War the great Spanish poet arrives in the “Lorca Room” in purgatory where he learns he will be quarantined for the next 40 days With dramatic and sensual flamenco flair, Lorca in a Green Dress is a spellbinding exploration of the life and death of Lorca Six different actors portray aspects of the poet’s personality in a surrealistic landscape that questions what it means to die Tacoma Little Theatre’s production of Lorca in a Green Dress features the outstanding talents of: Xander Layden as Lorca with Blood Marisela Fleites-Lear as Flamenco Dancer (March 8 and John Bussoletti providing live guitar music for a total of 10 performances.  Evening showings are at 7:30pm and matinees are at 2:00pm There will be a special “Pay What You Can” performance on Thursday at 7:30pm.  Tickets for that performance are available now online at 2:00pm will be an ASL interpreted performance Tickets are $29.00 (Adults), $27.00 (Seniors 60+/Students/Military), and $22.00 (Children 12 and under).  Tickets may be purchased online at www.tacomalittletheatre.com or by calling our Box Office at (253) 272-2281 and special FLEX passes for 6 are only $155.00 Lorca in a Green Dress is recommended for ages 12 and over.  DISCLAIMER: The above news, information, and opinions are the author’s own.

I think you’ll see why they hired the right guy when they went with Jason when my representatives told me who they hired [image or embed] — Anson Mount (@ansonmount.bsky.social) November 27, 2024 at 5:15 PM The humble actor says he can see why the Discovery producers “hired the right guy when they went with Jason.” And of course Anson has done well for himself The wide acclaim he got in season 2 as Pike eventually led to him leading the spin-off series Star Trek: Strange New Worlds which will be shooting its fourth season in March 2025 Season 3 is already filmed and should arrive in early 2025 From Strange New Worlds season 3 (Paramount+) Keep up with news about the Star Trek Universe at TrekMovie.com I just saw Pike with a mustache in that audition Which is exactly how I would imagine a mirror universe Pike Sort of like mirror universe Spock having a goatee And maybe he was just making a character ‘choice’ but the chewing gum seemed a bit odd like he wasn’t taking it very seriously it worked out for him in the end; probably better than anyone could’ve thought at the time I think that was Lorca eating the fortune cookie as per the written scene https://youtu.be/sYb9Am7E74Q?si=fok7k9CVv_hbgQpI I’m pretty sure he was eating fortune cookies Lorca from the first half of season one was a really compelling character; it’s too bad they veered off into the Mirror Universe nonsense “Charades” is exhibit A to this point Whether that’s the fault of his performance (“he of the dopey grin”) or of an incompetent writers’ room although I thought he nailed the part in DISCO and early in season one of SNW They did not “veer” off in the 2nd half Lorca was always intended to be from the Mirror universe despite so much of season 2 Pike seeming to be ‘off’ point.) The Pike of SNW doesn’t seem like the same guyt at all but the character does some things thst make j]him what a waste of what was a compelling character to start Pike in Season 2 of Discovery accepted his eventual fate and was at peace with it Cut to Season 1 of SNW and he’s an anxious existential mess who spends hours brooding and getting distracted by what-ifs It’s like he is a totally different person I still like Pike very much but even I have been a bit frustrated how he has been portrayed on SNW at times They have made him a bit too much like an over concerned parent instead of a starship captain The poster Legacy has made a great point as well (which I didn’t think about until she started pointing it out) and they don’t feel as professional or mature enough the way it feels on the classic shows and that obviously starts at the top The Enterprise is supposed to be the flagship and yet it feels like a cadet training ship at times I think that’s because this new stuff seems to be based more on interpersonal feelings and goofing off There is a smattering of serious moments and professionalism but not enough of those moments for only 10 episodes Maybe they should add a military consultant Starfleet is supposed to be a military organization It has been referenced as such in other shows and movies TOS showed Starfleet as an organistion that clearly ran along the lines of a military service which is not surprising the ammount of WW2 veterans that worked on the show both behind and in front of the cameras That sense of discipline & professionalism is one of (many) things missing since 2009 “Nu-Trek” It was still structured around Naval / Maritime organizational structure no mattter Starfleet’s perceived purpose (exploration vs it is mostly about exploration as well as defense in every other ST tv show Militaries were historically deeply involved in exploration A top-of-mind example is Captain James Cook who was originally in the merchant marine but was granted a commission in the Royal Navy and commanded HMS Endeavour in mapping the Pacific (including Hawaii though: geospatial intelligence (GEOINT) remains very much a thing within the intelligence community and the main US government agency responsible for it is the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency We do see them get serious every time the Gorn shows up somewhere or something but overall it really doesn’t feel like a group of serious minded officers as it does a group of friends hanging out that was actually one of the things Discovery did right in the first season and it felt like a ship with real discipline under Lorca but they were also in the middle of a war too I guess This is one of the silliest complaints I’ve seen about SNW That doesn’t mean it’s inappropriate or wrong I don’t care that it has a more relaxed energy it seems like the kind of ship that Riker would run Starfleet would never survive the dangers of space if the ships were run as loosely as they are in “Nu-Trek” Riker was 1 very disciplined Starfleet officer from what I remember of TNG on the small and big screen The Pike of SNW would maybe be more suited to doing school children shuttles or something along those lines You are incorrect about Pike is 100% Starfleet material I know this because he’s in Starfleet and is generally regarded as one of the greatest captains in the history of the organization Yeah but that was the “proper” Captain Pike not this reimagined one we are getting on SNW (which is itself just a reimagining of proper Star Trek) and on and on and on it should feel more professional like the other shows; especially being the flagship I don’t think the overwhelming majority cares about this either but it’s nothing close to things like all the canon issues for example Pike and Una feels more like parents than commanders Rebecca Romign said that herself in an interview That’s why I said it feels more like a cadet crew at times instead of a more serious and mature ship But I think that’s both how the producers and Anson Mount wanted it and for most people it’s working But for people who want stuff like rank and chain of command more emphasized and not feel so casual it is a issue but something they notice and maybe take them out of the show a little some of it gets a bit too nit picky like how Pike has been called out for calling Ortegas by her first name from Kirk-Archer has done and call people they are close to in their crew And she still calls him captain unlike characters like Crusher etc who call their captains by their first names because they were all close to them before they worked together And I can’t disagree with you about Riker lol casual and fun as we saw him handle the Titan crew on Lower Decks But lower decks is “Nu-Trek” so it is not the same Riker Tell me when was Riker ever informal on the bridge like the crew of the “Nu-Trek” ships were Riker was harder on the crew than Picard was Remember the dressing down he gave the lower decks crew members on TNG how we was constantly coming up against Picard wanting to be on away missions early on in TNG etc etc Riker was NEVER relaxed casual or fun while on service until “Nu-Trek” He joked around with the crew on and off duty hence joining the poker games and sometimes cooking for the bridge crew…just like Pike does now And people have suggested he was more serious on the Enterprise because of Picard and followed his lead And Frakes has said in interviews the character from LDS was the character he always saw Riker as and he was the one who told McMahan he wanted to go as big as possible So I’m not totally disagreeing with you but I think to say he wasn’t fun or casual is not true either There was just more of a time and a place for it unlike Pike who gives off the cool casual dad vibe at all times Completely different bridge crew dynamic than “Nu-Trek” casual or fun while on service until “Nu-Trek”.” There were plenty of times he joked around even on duty But as I also said (and where we agree) he was certainly more serious than Pike usually is That’s why I said it feels more like a cadet crew at times instead of a more serious and mature ship But I think that’s both how the producers and Anson Mount wanted it and for most people it’s working And this is also why I’m starting to blame Mount I happened to watch William Shatner’s documentary “The Captains” for the first time over Thanksgiving weekend (I am kicking myself for never having seen it before; it was one of the best pieces of Star Trek commentary I’ve ever seen) Among the many insights: the early captains all had extensive theater backgrounds Both Stewart and Shatner said that playing all of those kings in Shakespeare’s histories imbued their performance as starship captains Mulgrew has extensive theater experience too — she played Desdemona in Othello — as do Brooks and Bakula Anson Mount doesn’t quite have zero theater experience but his theater resume is much lighter than the other captains’ So I’m thinking that may partly explain his lack of gravitas although I do agree his portrayal was better in DISCO That’s true about all the captains in the classic shows they all had extensive theater training and you really saw it on screen It’s funny I was just watching an interview on YouTube with Trekculture and Sam Witwer the actor who portrayed Kirk in the Unification short and he was defending Shatner regarding his ‘overacting’ on TOS He said most of it came from his experience in the theater was used to playing big so the audience could get his performance in the back row and brought that to Star Trek And also stated that TVs where obviously much smaller in the sixties as well and pushed many people to perform bigger I’m sure this has been said many times and I’m not an actor so I can only follow what other actor’s thinks and Brooks probably did the same thing with Sisko He has been dubbed as overreacting at times too I do think that SNW and Pike in general lacks the gravitas of the classic shows and have said that before as well But I think it’s still the writing just as much as the acting though and just presenting a more casual tone I watched it several times and it’s fun to see them interacting with Shatner I like his interview with Kate Mulgrew the best but he was willing to run a tight ship when there was cause for it he (probably unfairly) dressed down Shelby for her “early bird gets the worm” away team mission Other examples include “Peak Performance,” “Ensign Ro,” and “Lower Decks” (the episode) have remotely acted the way Pike of the Dopey Grin did in “Charades.” I don’t know – I like that it shows a different style Starfleet Captain rather than retreading what we’ve seen already Is the Enterprise the flagship in this series there are different command styles so its nice to see something different – and by visual evidence in the show itself – it works for him lol I don’t have a problem with his captain style I do wish he acted more serious when it called for it It just leans too much into him trying to be a cool dad instead of a Starfleet officer I don’t mind seeing different styles either Janeway and Kirk as captains as well and they couldn’t be any more different from each other People used to say Janeway was the female version of Picard but there is nothing that really compares them to each other than they are both well knowledgeable and gives some amazing speeches lol But Janeway comes off much more paternal to her crew but when it’s crunch time she turns into take no shit Janeway in a heartbeat I guess what people are saying is they like to see a little more fire under Pikes belly sometimes It just feels a little too relaxed even in the biggest circumstances But the best example of that was in Quality of Mercy and the confrontation of the Romulans that leads into a war with them because they viewed Pike as too weak They assumed that represented Starfleet as a whole and would be easy to defeat them Kind of proves the guy can be a little more meaner at times lol As far as the Enterprise being the flagship it started under TNG but it has continued past that SNW referred to Enterprise as the flagship in the episode Ghosts of Illyria in first season So I guess that means the original in TOS is now considered one as well But I don’t think every Enterprise is considered one I think the Enterprise in the Kelvin movies were referred to a flagship too but I can’t remember which movie I’m curious what you mean by “veer of.” Pike was always going to be revealed as the mirror version I’m guessing he meant that the character’s arc took a sharp turn that wasn’t beneficial to the story The Mary Sue aspect of Michael Burnham aside it’s actually a pretty good sci-fi series right up until the Jump to the Mirror Universe I can’t say it’s good Star Trek because of all the things it gets wrong about Trek and canon and would be better if not for the heel turn he makes I’d want the prime version of that character to be just like what we got. it goes off the rails HARD once they jump universes Anson ended up right where he was supposed y]to the first season of Discovery was the worst season of Star Trek for many many reasons; the biggest being it just didn’t feel enough like Star Trek It could’ve been just another sci fi show and no one would’ve noticed It stayed the worst for years until Picard season 2 (which is now my worst season of all time) and Discovery season 4 showed up I know some people love these seasons but my God I just think they are awful with a few notable bright spots here and there And for season 1 of Discovery it was Lorca who was that bright spot I didn’t love him as a captain but it’s why I loved him lol He was cut from a very different cloth from them and made him interesting Of course you can say that about the entire show but I think he especially worked He clearly had demons in his closet the way others didn’t Then we found out why and like you suggested it kind of derailed the character a bit I never had problems with him being from the MU but will admit it might have been better to present him as a captain going through PTSD or something It is weird they have never tried to bring him back at all I guess he could still appear on SNW but that show has basically ignored Discovery completely outside a few references from it And his character would probably feel a bit too off kilter for that show which has a more bubble gum approach vs Discovery’s very GOT feel in the first season The fact the only real crossover we got so far involved Boimler and Mariner tells you the tone that show has become and not sure how well Lorca would fit a mess of competing ideas scraped together when Bryan Fuller left The only bright spots for me are Ash’s storyline (which even then peters out into nothing) and Michelle Yeoh I actually think the season improved with the Mirror Universe twist but I still have zero interest in rewatching it I know I’m in the minority but I loved the jump to the future and I loved that for once there isn’t a universe ending threat and that it was more of a slow-burn mystery Regardless of what people thought about the origin of The Burn I thought it was a very unexpected and novel way to go And I’m just glad there was no big bad lurking there Season 4 was more of a mixed bag that got got spinning its wheels for a while Considering it was filmed in the middle of a global pandemic I haven’t seen enough of Season 5 to comment on it I had issues with some of DSC’s writing and how Pike has been emasculated in SNW (You don’t need to emasculate a male character to make the female characters seem stronger and more competent Taylor Sheridan has proven this with his universes What I wouldn’t give to have Taylor Sheridan do a take on Star Trek…) But even if Star Trek was always woke (which I dont believe personally) it was never so forcefully woke to actually alienate a lot of its audience and yes the god awful writing (cant forget about that) because no one really agrees on what it means no matter what they’re trying to pander and preach about it sheridan’s cynicism would trash any ST tv show Taylor Sheridan is doing the social commentary through allegory and complex characters like Trek did before 2009 and they’re wonderfully written with great characters If by “woke” you mean “socially aware” then I hate to break it to you- Star Trek has been exactly that ever since its inception The Original Series had a black woman in a prominent role at the height of the civil rights movement a Japanese-American character in an important position only twenty years after WWII a Russian character at the height of the civil war the original pilot had a woman in a command position when it was considered abnormal for women to *work* TNG featured a disabled black man in a pivotal role DS9 showcased a devoted black father as a powerful and respected leader ENTs first officer was a highly respected and intelligent woman who got things done and didn’t take rubbish from anybody LDS’ main characters include two black women (one of whom is unapologetically pansexual and badass) and an Asian-American man who is indispensable (and T’Ana who is honestly a rockstar) PRO showcases the power and hopefulness of youth PIC puts a trauma survivor (Seven) front and centre (once they got over that weird characterisation in the first season) and SNW for all its faults is unfailingly hopeful and progressive in its tone Just look at 2×02 for evidence of that Star Trek has always had progressive values in every iteration (with the exception of Enterprise So to decry Star Trek: Discovery as being “woke” (which by the way is not a thing anybody outside of far-right wing circles actually says… so congrats on exposing yourself there) is quite frankly weird because… of course it’s going to be socially aware I suspect that what you actually mean is “I don’t like this show because it was led by a black woman and prominently featured queer and trans characters” That is usually what people mean they decry something as being “woke” as usual you have absolutely nothing interesting or of substance to say- so you spout the same old tired grievances you usually spout about “Nu-Trek” and one that is now spout far right propaganda phrases which is not a good look for anybody invested in a highly progressive and hopeful franchise and worse than that it is badly written,which for me is the ultimate betrayal of the many people who made Star Trek what it WAS You really don’t understand this franchise if you don’t think TOS through ENT isn’t “woke” Go and spread your alt-right beliefs elsewhere and a topic worthy of more exploration than a few sentences can give it What progressivism meant in the civil rights era — and indeed perhaps what it meant up to 2014 or so — is very different from what “woke” means today in the sense of critical race theory and indentarian politics it may have meant an international and multi-racial crew I think you’d see progressive circles lambasting IDIC as “cultural appropriation.” Actually season 2 is probably still my favorite season of Discovery I have gone back and forth with season 5 since I liked that one too but season 2 actually had some of the strongest episodes overall New Eden is probably my favorite episode of Discovery to this day and obviously loved Pike and Spock on it But it’s the Terminator like twist and the Section 31 stuff I really hated Until we saw that turn and the Red Angel being Burnham’s mother And it just felt like a nice reprieve after how bad and overly dark season 1 felt I loved Lorca but Pike is what changed my view of the show for the better Season 4 had a lot of promise and that’s the thing It is probably the most Trek-y season of any of the modern shows They could’ve gotten rid of half the episodes and you lose nothing IMO Yeah COVID was probably part of the issue along with Picard season 2 but I can only judge the end results But even though I had my issues with the show’s later seasons for sure I still think it was smart to move the show to the 32nd century I seem to be a minority on this board but yeah it just gave the show a new life and it was no longer compared to TOS in every scene I feel season 2 is probably my favorite overall so I was resigned to it being in the 23rd century but going to the future was bold IMO and finally gave us something uniquely different I haven’t felt we gotten since DS9 ended But every season ended in frustration for me in a way no other show has time and time again I think you will love the ending when you watch the season They could have at least three of the back half episodes in Season 4 I get they had an episode order to fulfill and- like you said- the pandemic probably played a major factor- but that back half was wheel spinning of the highest order I do think Season 4 stuck the landing- and I would probably argue so did 2 and 3- but of course it’s a matter of personal opinion Discovery’s determination to tug at the heartstrings does grate after a while (even for this die-hard fan of the show)- but I do think the emotion was really earned in the season finale I have no shame in admitting that 10-C returning Book to Burnham did make me cry And I was ridiculously invested in T’Rina and Saru I will eventually get around to watching Season 5 But I do struggle to say goodbye to any show that I love dearly but it’s the scrappy little show that could- and for that it will always hold a special place in my heart I will agree and say season 4 stuck to landing as well but I was so checked out by then I just didn’t really care But I can’t say they didn’t wrap it up in a meaningful way either the second half just felt so lackluster because there wasn’t enough story Book and his partner in crime were running around the galaxy trying to find a way to blow up Species 10C but there was so little energy to it because there just wasn’t enough happening It was obvious they were stretching every plot point out I went into my usual extended long whining rants about it several times that season and I won’t do it here (although if anyone wants to hear it again Whatever.) but ultimately most episodes felt like they were 50 minutes with about 5 minutes of plot in them and it just lost me And the season made me so angry I literally wanted Michelle Paradise fired lol but that’s how disappointed and frustrated I felt But I thought she made up for it in season 5 even with my issues of that season as well Given Isaacs’ politics and the speech he had to give as Lorca extolling the virtues of Elon Musk I wouldn’t be surprised if he now wished that Anson Mount had gotten the part Um Isaacs’ admitted he adlibbed the Musk part because he was hoping to get a Tesla I’d bet a whole load of dilithium and gold-pressed latinum he regrets it now People forget that Musk used to be beloved by the left before he jumped on the Trump Train To echo Picard downplaying his relationship with Riker in CAPTAIN’S HOLIDAY it was nice and something of a novelty to see somebody rich and connected as an advocate for space exploration but I certainly wouldn’t use a word like beloved Ross Perot was the guy way before Musk who was advocating for mining the asteroid belt back in the early 90s when it became known that there was enough platinum out there to shift the entire financial structure of this planet for at least decades if somebody went out there and started bringing it back That was vision (enough so that I actually voted for him even though I knew it wasn’t going to make a difference.) Matt Yglesias had some very astute commentary a few days ago that it was far-left progressive elements that ginned up a conflict between Musk and center-left Democrats in order to marginalize the latter What the progressives didn’t count on is that the center-left Democrats might feel comfortable abandoning the Democratic Party rather than being defenstrated Which is very much what happened with Musk have been remarkably sanguine about the outcome As a member of “the left” — whatever that might mean in these United States especially now — I always thought Musk was more than a bit full of himself (aka something of a d!ck) but could balance that against our shared passion for space exploration and the practical advances his businesses were making to address climate change it’s the MAGA types now idolizing the man who forget that Musk quit Trump’s technology advisory committee during his first administration over climate policy Now he’s allied himself with some of the worst and most science-denying political actors in recent memory So saying he was beloved by the left is not me saying the left should have known better that line won’t age well for Trek lovers in the future who will know nothing other than him going all in on Trump I still don’t think Lorca worked at all though and was one of the many things wrong with Discovery from the beginning It was good that Anson Mount did not get sucked into that Lorca mess So far as I can tell with your ‘woke,’ certainly the only trolling in this thread has been done by you I don’t think M1701 was saying Mount trolls just explaining what keyboard warrior meant I think he’s gone after people pretty hard on social media that have come at him over politics. just disagree that his stance should be seen as derogatory When I post on a Trek forum it is about Trek if they give us proper Star Trek again believe me I will be the first to sing their praises Mount is another one of those that has gone into meltdown because your US DEMOCRACY voted a certain man in as your 47th US president the lowest margin by a Presidential candidate in many decades is what the young’uns these days call a “sweeping majority.” Either that or those words do not mean what you think they mean Mount is perfectly entitled to voice his unhappiness with that outcome I’m a far leftist revolutionary minded activist who holds disdain for most centrist liberals but he’s certainly entitled to express his opinion The fact that you speak in terms of “proper Star Trek” tells me you are not an unserious individual living in your own fabricated reality SNW is proper Star Trek whether you like the show or not It is a TV experiment for the people working on it so they can get as many “big swings” in as possible because they have the kind of budgets and technology a lot of producers would love to play with then they will simply move on having used (abused?) the Star Trek name simply as a stepping stone for their curriculum Vitae And the fact that all of that means it’s “not proper Star trek” is precisely why you are an unserious person but it sounds like you aren’t even a fan of Star Trek and nothing you say to the contrary will convince me Instead you’re a fan of a very specific thingg and you want nothing to deviate from that Outside your view of “proper” and it doesn’t count This sounds a lot like certain social attitudes that Trek itself preaches is wrong and ignorant Ie; a gay or trans man isn’t a man because they don’t fit your narrow-minded Maybe think about the analogy here and do some self reflection I agree about being a fan of a “very specific thingg” and that thing is ALL of Star Trek made between 1964-2005 Making assumptions about the motives of creatives based on your distaste for their work (or their political leanings) is never a good look instead read his stuff instead of hearing about his love of shotguns.) The politics of John Milius are so gonzo I’m not completely convinced that he takes them seriously himself I have no problem giving him his due for APOCALYPSE NOW and though Coppola’s rewrites thankfully swapped Joseph Conrad’s thematic ambition for Milius’ macho posturing there’s no question that the film’s tone and many of its best moments are his did Milius have to be such a d!ck about it fighting before the WGA to keep Conrad’s name out of the credits Stating that “if APOCALYPSE NOW is based on ‘Heart of Darkness’ then ‘Moby Dick’ is based on the Book of Jonah” might have satisfied his need to sound clever but of course you don’t get to say that and then boast to the world of having succeeded where Orson Welles failed maybe Hill and Giler should have had Milius advocating on their behalf during WGA arbitration over ALIEN’s writing credits because I think they were very wrongfully screwed over on that I don’t know if I brought it up here or not before but a couple weeks back it occurred to me that if they had hooked Sean Connery just a little bit with their pitch for TFF he’d have certainly demanded a rewrite brought on to RED OCTOBER right around this time or shortly thereafter I’m wondering: could Milius have been brought in to rewrite TFF in order to lock Connery in Connery and Milius had been on good terms since THE WIND AND THE LION and Connery was first choice for Thulsa Doom in CONAN THE BARBARIAN though I guess he was occupied doing OUTLAND or WRONG IS RIGHT at the time Connery as Sybok goes from being a nice wish and could-have-been-really-something in my mind to just a side benefit with Milius possibly improving TFF massively in all sorts of storytelling ways I understand Paramount not wanting to pay Lustbader a fortune to write TFF from ‘Do you feel lucky’ speech in DIRTY HARRY and most of MAGNUM FORCE to the Quint speech about the INDIANAPOLIS in JAWS and could have been as much a shot in the arm to TFF as Meyer was with his TWOK rewrites I’ve been wondering how Milius’ native abilities could have fueled Shatner’s ambitions for the film and possibly even seduced Paramount into having more faith in the thing Plus having the guy who made RED DAWN do a Trek movie just prior to TUC seems somehow very fitting to me … for all I know they might have given him TUC to make if he had delivered TFF’s script in a significant fashion that impacted the b.o I recall definitely agreeing with the CFQ story’s conclusion that Hill and Giler deserved co-writer credits on the ALIEN screenplay just as Meerson and Krikes did not on THE VOYAGE HOME I can understand given the claim of the former that he didn’t review HoD at all when writing the screenplay for APOCALYPSE and was working strictly from his memories of a story read decades earlier that he might have felt not crediting the original author was reasonable which brought the film much closer to the novella up to and including repurposing chunks of dialogue from it Seems to me that Conrad deserved an “Inspired By” credit apparently didn’t deserve the screen credit either The only original notion I’ve seen from K&R had to do with referencing Ulysses for this final mission But they had some paramount suit named Teddy Z lobbying for them and slowing down preprod enormously Broadway Off-Broadway Off-Off Broadway Cabaret Dance Opera Classical Music Nashville Minneapolis / St. Paul Connecticut Atlanta Chicago Los Angeles WEST END UK Regional Canada Australia / New Zealand Europe Asia Latin America Africa / Middle East TV/Movies Music Teatro Paraguas will present the world premiere of Return to the River a new flamenco production by the internationally acclaimed artists Chuscales and Mina Fajardo This highly anticipated performance serves as a revival of their popular flamenco show Una Nota de Lorca (2016 & 2019) and pays tribute to the legendary Spanish poet and playwright Federico García Lorca Blending the soul-stirring rhythms of flamenco with the poetic legacy of Lorca Return to Lorca brings together an exceptional cast of musicians and actors to honor one of Spain's most revered literary figures renowned as a master guitarist and composer Creative team and cast include Chuscales (Music Director, Composer, Guitarist), Mina Fajardo (Artistic Director, Choreographer, Dancer, Singer), Argos MacCallum (Actor) Teatro Paraguas will present the premiere production of Waking Up, a new play by Augusto Federico Amador directed by Rick Vargas.

of two musical acts: Bowdoin’s own DJ Lorca (Lorca Peña Nissenblatt ’27) The concert was a collaboration between Student Activities and the Entertainment Board (E-Board) in the first part of Bowdoin’s “Friend of a Friend” festival which is two weekends long and brings in musical acts that students are connected with outside of the College This was the second year the College has hosted the event Ella Perry ’26 recommended Alaimo and her producer and guitarist Riley Schmedeman “I met Addie and Riley in preschool,” Perry said It’s been fun since I’ve seen their whole music career progress.… I was really excited because this was a perfect opportunity for me to see them play here and then show all of my friends their music.” Alaimo and Schmedeman made the cross-country journey to Brunswick accompanied by two of their own friends from New York: Noah Bucner on drums and Ben Halle on bass and bells Alaimo and Schmedeman were excited to play at the College because of their love for the state of Maine which Alaimo pridefully dubs “the first state where the sun rises.” They also appreciate smaller venues “There’s a give and take with the people we play with Everyone just loves each other,” Schmedeman said E-Board co-president Oliver Clachko ’26 said the decision to have a Bowdoin student open for the first weekend of “Friend of a Friend” was intentional “People at Bowdoin love supporting their friends,” Clachko said “There’s a lot of talented people at Bowdoin so we thought it would be a nice way to get people excited.” Nissenblatt found that opening for Alaimo was a break from her normal DJing on campus “I feel like DJing at a party is so different from DJing at an event for a band so that was a fun challenge,” Nissenblatt said Following Nissenblatt’s time at the turntable Alaimo and her troupe emerged with a folk blend of acoustic and electric sound Viewers formed a semicircle around the stage and clapped along to Alaimo’s songs many of which were yet to be released on streaming platforms Members of the audience occasionally put their arms around each other and swayed or individually went on stage to shake bells for the group Spencer Sussman ’26 spoke highly of his concert experience “It was really impressive that they were able to keep the crowd interested in their original music for an hour and change because most of the crowd didn’t know any of the music and still stayed engaged,” Sussman said who has been a fan of Alaimo’s for nearly two years “I want to reiterate how awesome it was,” Carlson said It was one of the best nights of my life.”

the door Still with the devices in their hand they focus on the plaque that Malaga city hall installed a few years ago on the façade of the building and which reminds us that 'here was the Café Cantante de Chinitas"' the mythical flamenco temple immortalised by the poet Federico García Lorca in his own handwriting they translate the text into their own language and then peer through the glass panes of the door of the still-closed premises But the activity inside is incessant; workers are finalising the details of what will be the resurrection of this emblematic café which is set to reopen in the spirit of a modern bar Those peering through the door will see a white sheet covering what looks like a person already propping up the bar of the soon-to-reopen El Café de Chinitas "We have tried to bring back the spirit of that café and for this corner to be what it was a century ago" who takes a step forward and ceremoniously removes the white sheet that reveals a life-size statue of Federico García Lorca The poet is propping up the large circular bar which has been designed to resemble a bullring and pen and notebook in hand he could even be writing the poem he wrote about the iconic place: "In el Café de Chinitas / Paquiro said to his brother: / "I am braver than you there will be a reproduction of the complete poem so that everyone who comes to the bar can read it" Criado points out about the statue which was made by the Moreno Brothers who are also from Granada The decorator leaves the sheet to one side and throws his arm over the poet as thousands of tourists do every day with the statue of Picasso in the Plaza de la Merced A gesture that suggests the photo Marilú Báez captures with her camera for this report will be the first of many El Café de Chinitas is expected to open its doors at the end of September An update of the legendary tablao that also aims to make its denomination of origin clear who along with businesswoman Alicia Lapaz has revived this Malaga icon The other key to the new bar is the bullfighting atmosphere which also responds to Lorca's literary origins "The bar is not only one of the largest in Malaga but its circular shape is reminiscent of a bullring crowned by what looks like a Cordoban hat" who directed the refurbishment carried out by Innovadecor Constructores snapshots of Lola Flores and posters of La Malagueta cover the walls of this spacious premises which has also made the 'botijo' a decorative hallmark they will also be signed by celebrities who come to visit El Café de Chinitas" says the man in charge of recovering the flavour of the old tablao converted into a bar with a modern touch in its style and menu There will be no shortage of music at the new venue which has already ordered a piano and a guitar which will be the responsibility of one of the students of La Cónsula "It will be a commitment to Malaga and traditional cuisine and to tapas explains the manager of El Café de Chinitas who adds that there will be a nod to Lorca with a dish inspired by Granada as well as a commitment to Casa de Guardia and Málaga Virgen wines "We have reached an agreement to bottle our own 18º wine Workers and technicians are putting the finishing touches to the bar and they are joined by the architect Rafael Salas responsible for the renovation work on a historic building that has taken four years to complete since 2020 as it started in the middle of the pandemic "The recovery of this old café is the soul of the building" as he rests a hand on one of the marble columns that remain from the original construction Past and present coexist not only in the walls but also in the menu and the spirit of the establishment that aims to revive Malaga's literary and bar heritage "The new Café de Chinitas will occupy the space left by the closure of Café Central" says Eduardo Criado to Federico García Lorca who keeps an eye on him Comentar es una ventaja exclusiva para registrados Rome -

his local terroirs With spells at Catena Zapata and Luigi Bosca on his CV he then launched a winery with business partner Enrique Foster in 2002 The creation of Bodega Foster Lorca cemented his place as one of Argentina’s most exciting winemakers That has been proven by the string of awards and medals that has followed While Mendoza has steadily gained a strong reputation for fine wine who sees winemaking as an artistic pursuit He therefore continues to make expressive Mendoza wines particularly under the Mauricio Lorca Autor de Vinos range his curiosity to explore has pushed him further In a neat mirror image of the 16th Century first journey of Vitis vinifera over the Atlantic Ocean to Argentina Lorca has crossed the Atlantic to bring his expertise to Europe has been to explore the potential of two regions of Spain a Denomiación de Origen (DO) in Atlantic-influenced Galicia he has embraced the notion of ‘heroic viticulture’ The region is very different both to Mendoza and much of Spain – in fact Galicia is often nicknamed ‘Green Spain’ for its verdant hills and dramatic landscapes Those hills offer an appreciable challenge Their steep inclines make viticulture exceptionally difficult but also celebrates the heritage that it conveys steep slopes and an Atlantic influence can create fresh He crafts these using the central local grape variety alongside other indigenous varieties such as Brancellao but for a winemaker with such an artistic approach to viticulture His second region of focus presents a distinct challenge Castilla y León is much more associated with commercial winemaking Its high elevation plateau encompasses several of Spain’s most prestigious winegrowing regions but the vino de la tierra designation itself is often overlooked a parallel between Castilla y León and Lorca’s home region few people in the wine trade would infer from that fact that Mendoza is incapable of making fine wine situated at 950 metres above sea level and planted in arid While his work in the Ribeira Sacra emphasises tradition in Castilla y León he also turns to innovation he is supporting the resurgence of traditional grapes such as Albarin and Prieto Picudo they are now recovering thanks to enthusiastic winemakers showcases the native varieties through precision winemaking is to preserve their natural acidity and aromatic complexity spread over two continents would be daunting to many Just as the artist will celebrate a diversity of mediums to inform their work so too does Lorca celebrate a variety of terroirs and traditions to make better wines but all in

found dead on the morning of March 3 His body was discovered near the river’s mouth Authorities had been searching for him since Sunday afternoon after his van was swept away by rising floodwaters including the Guardia Civil and regional rescue services Helicopters and police drones were deployed to scan the area but poor weather conditions and high water levels made the operation challenging The search focused on the areas of Los Curas and Puntas de Calnegre where water levels remained dangerously high he had lunch with friends before deciding to check on his livestock and greenhouses He drove along a dirt path near the ravine where heavy rain had already increased the water flow Witnesses said he could have escaped on foot if he had left the van earlier unaware of how quickly the water would rise The floodwaters eventually carried him away before anyone could reach him The news of his death has devastated the Ramonete community Neighbors describe him as a hardworking man whose life revolved around his farm His livestock and greenhouses were his livelihood and he had worked in agriculture since leaving school including a son studying engineering in Valencia the Lorca Town Hall has declared three days of official mourning A minute of silence will be observed in Plaza de España The town has also suspended all celebratory events as a mark of respect for the victim and his

Theatre Conference are preparing to present Federico García Lorca’s one-act play a Spanish classic known for its themes of love This emotionally charged production will run from October 24-26 Bodas de Sangre tells the tragic story of a bride torn between two lovers Lorca’s poetic language weaves through the narrative demanding that the cast tap into the deep emotions of the characters while also navigating the play's intricate structure this production represents both a bold artistic choice and a meaningful way to connect with the school’s growing Hispanic community recognized that this was the perfect year to tackle Lorca’s play “This is the year I found myself with a group of students I knew could take on this play and run with it and transitions are complicated and layered.” Bodas de Sangre is more than just a challenging text—it is a piece that connects the students with the Hispanic culture represented in the play “I chose the play because I love Federico and his poetry and his poetic sensibility,” Poole says “I also wanted to involve the Hispanic Spanish-speaking community With around 100 new Latin families joining Savannah Arts Academy this year Poole saw this play as a way to celebrate that heritage Lorca’s work resonates with the themes of tradition community and passion that are central to the Spanish and Hispanic experience has been tempered by unexpected challenges The cast and crew lost seven critical rehearsals due to hurricanes Helene and Milton which caused school closures and disruptions “The students have had to forsake their fall break for rehearsals and tech week,” Poole shares sacrificing their time off to ensure that the play was ready for its local run and an important competition to compete in the Georgia Theater Conference’s Ray Horne Theater Festival where the earned the top prize and will represent Georgia at the upcoming Southeastern Theatre Conference (SETC) in Baltimore rehearsals are where the play comes together but it is the live audience that brings the production to life and the energy from the crowd helps performers reach new heights “Theater students often say that while rehearsal is where the magic is made a live audience is essential to bring it to life,” Poole notes This connection with the audience is especially important for Bodas de Sangre a play that allows the 16 cast members to delve into the raw emotions of love who reflect the turmoil in the story by creating a moody atmosphere with lighting staging Bodas de Sangre is about more than just showcasing student talent; it is also about honoring the work of one of Spain’s most iconic playwrights Lorca’s writing is famous for its emotional depth and its exploration of universal themes like love and loss through the lens of magical realism “There’s something timeless about Lorca,” Poole says and fate are as relevant today as they were when he wrote the play The music that accompanies the play is also powerful and beautiful.” Poole’s hope is that the production will resonate not only with Savannah’s general theatergoers but also with the Latin community particularly the new families who have joined the school this year By performing a play that is so deeply rooted in Spanish culture the students are engaging with a rich tradition while also making it accessible to their peers and audience members who may be encountering Lorca’s work for the first time the SAA students are hard at work refining every detail of their performances they are ready to take on the emotional and technical demands of Bodas de Sangre for their performances in Savannah If You Go >>What: Savannah Arts Academy's production of Bodas de Sangre (Blood Wedding) Tickets: $10 general; $5 military and seniors,

main procession route are no longer available – they were sold out weeks ago apparently – there’s still a chance to book your spot for the first two parades of the week on Friday of Sorrows (April 11) and Palm Sunday (April 13) The prices of these seats are set this year at 9 euros an increase which reflects the huge demand as visitors flock to Lorca to see an event which has been awarded International Tourist Interest status due to the colour and spectacle with which the city celebrates Holy Week Ticket sales begin on Monday March 31 at the headquarters of the Paso Blanco and Paso Azul brotherhoods, in the convent-churches of Santo Domingo and San Francisco The collision of classical music—especially opera—and contemporary dance is a spark that has ignited some of the most innovative and boundary-pushing performances in modern art This creative interplay thrives in the realm of dance-theater where the precise discipline of movement meets the raw Visionaries like Pina Bausch revolutionized this fusion weaving intricate human emotions into physical expressions that deeply resonate Her groundbreaking work continues to inspire iconic companies such as Mark Morris Dance Group the dynamic relationship between opera and dance-theater remains a fertile ground for experimentation delivering performances that captivate the eye and stir the soul This vision comes to life in “The Night and The Moon,” the latest production by The Opera Atelier (TOA) a Miami-based organization that has spent years redefining opera with innovative performances and educational programs designed for children and youth with an interest in the genre TOA aims to capture the attention of younger audiences many of whom may not yet be familiar with the complexity and grandeur of traditional opera “The Night and The Moon” is an ambitious double-feature program that brings opera and contemporary dance together on a single stage fostering a creative dialogue between these two art forms the performance includes Haydn’s “Ariadna in Naxos,” featuring mezzo-soprano Patricia Arcadí and pianist Daniel Daroca showcases a choreographic work inspired by Federico García Lorca’s “Romancero Gitano.” This segment merges spoken word and movement performed by Spanish artists Carmen Werner and Leyson Ponce both renowned figures in contemporary dance and choreography 15 in two iconic Miami venues: the Miami Beach Community Church and the Sanctuary of the Arts in Coral Gables “We launched TOA here in Miami in 2012 with the goal of deconstructing opera’s complex artistic language and incorporating elements like contemporary dance “The idea is to experiment and enrich the experience of opera by offering fresh perspectives highlights that declining opera audiences have become a global challenge well-established companies with significant resources and prestige but also medium- and small-scale organizations “Our drive has been to stage classical opera integrating elements that resonate with today’s society all while preserving the core essence of opera,” says Solórzano This vision has led this group of opera enthusiasts to also explore unconventional venues outside the traditional performance circuit Their productions have been staged in various public spaces churches and in “la Sala Santa Cecilia,” a hidden gem inside the Manuel Artime Theater The company’s repertoire also reflects its innovative approach with productions such as “Homage to Maria Callas,” “Frau Haydn in Trouble” and “Don Pasquale 2.0.” Future projects include proposals such as “Recuerdos de la Alhambra,” “Teresa Carreño: The Valkyrie of the Piano” and other interesting creations that seek to keep opera relevant and accessible Another point for the organization is how they seamlessly blend international talent with local artistry where Spanish choreographers and dancers share the stage with singers and musicians Around 90 percent of the artists we work with are local with only 10 percent coming from abroad,” says Xiomara Ponce Its presentations are divided into two annual seasons generally unified by a central theme that guides each program My Love,” a tribute to the richness and exuberance of Hispanic American culture “We believe it is important to highlight the creativity of Spanish and Hispanic American artists we want to reconnect the public with the relationships between Giacomo Rossini as well as their link to the Countess of Merlin key figures in the development of the bel canto style,” explains Jorge Arcila each season’s events connect like an Ariadne’s thread creating a fluid path in which one proposal leads to the next “This is not the first time we explore fusions but we always try to make the transitions as organically as possible Those ‘seams’ must be invisible so as not to interrupt the experience or distract the viewer,” he assures Arcila also reflects on the current challenges of opera we seem to have lost some patience as an audience That’s why we want to be concise and maintain artistic coherence from beginning to end with no breaks that might turn off the viewer We are here to make the audience fall in love with opera again,” he says This sense of fluidity is central to TOA’s artistic approach particularly in its efforts to merge opera and dance-theater “My training as a choreographer at Pina Bausch’s school in Germany deeply emphasized the importance of organic transitions within choreography,” explains Ponce and I share an artistic language that seamlessly integrates both disciplines “In ‘La Noche y La Luna,’ we do not aim to literally depict Lorca’s texts but rather to interpret his metaphors and poetic imagery These are transformed into theatrical actions where the body takes center stage staying true to the principles of dance-theater.” The seasoned dancer and choreographer emphasized the pivotal role of the mezzo-soprano in the production “Her body is fundamental—it serves as the unifying element that anchors and connects the entire performance Carmen and I have drawn inspiration from the rich poetic landscape and the profound metaphorical layers within Lorca’s text This process could be described as a hermeneutic endeavor though it is interpreted and expressed through the language of movement This conceptual framework has been our foundation and starting point,” he elaborates This creative process involves intense teamwork experimenting with specific atmospheres and developing movement structures and phrases that are then reviewed and adjusted to shape the choreographic discourse Each scene might seem like a potpourri of genres and styles but they are carefully linked by a theatrical and performative thread that gives meaning to the work,” adds Ponce will construct his or her own fable from the experience.” WHAT: The Opera Atelier presents “The Night and the Moon: Opera Meets Dance” INFORMATION: 786-560-6845 or  theoperaatelier.org ArtburstMiami.com is a
