"Songs to the Moon" by Canadian trumpeter Merrie Klazek is a 

wonderful collection of songs and arias transcribed for trumpet 

and piano. Melodies by de Falla, Rachmaninoff, Donizetti and 

others are beautifUlly and sensitively played by Merrie Klazek, 

accomp_anied on piano by jenniferSnow. Merrie shows 

that the trumpet can be a gentle and tender instrument. 

full of warmth and depth, conveying an emotional range rarely 

heard on the instrument. "Merrie Klazek- Songs to the Moon" 

should be a welcome revelation to music lovers everywhere. 

uMerrie Kla.zek- Songs to the Moon" 

on Phoenix Records is available at record stores across Canada.

Mendelssohn 

continued from page 6 

contact with Jacques just last year when he 

conducted the choir with orchestra in a 

perfonnance here ofCarmina Burana with 

Les Grands Ballets Canadiens. I was very 

impressed with his work not only with the 

singers, but also with the orchestra. He was 

Dutoit's assistant in Montreal, you know, and 

now has his own orchestra in France. He's a 

remarkable and exciting talent. Part of my 

mandate is to bring in guest conductors, the 

way orchestras do." 

He's also enthusiastic about his soloists. 

"Judith Forst is not often thought of as being 

a choral soloist. She is one of Canada's great 

opera singers as well as a great person. It will 

be a real boost to us as well as to the 

audience having her with us. Linda Maguire 

(pictured on our cover) did the title role in 

Florence, the opera we did a few years ago in 

Elora, so I know her well and know just how 

good she is with contemporary music. Also 

she is a high mezzo, which makes her a 

perfect match for this particular part." 

Edison had to think long and hard 

about the choice of soloists for this concert. 

"For one thing, they each have to make their 

own individual claim on their parts and they 

have to hold their own against a huge 

orchestra, with a Jot ofbmss, harp, piano and 

organ. All five soloists have what it takes to 

do this." 

THE CHALLENGE OF 11 SELUNG NEW 11 

Hoping to get him to conunent on the 

challenges of progrruruning new music in 

Toronto, I remind him of the TSO/ 

Gurrelieder contretemps at the beginning of 

the season. (Jukka Pekka Saraste, as I 

w1derstood it, wanted to open tllis season 

witl1 Ben Heppner and Jeru1ifer Lannore in 

Schoenberg's Gurrelieder, which Heppner 

was also doing with the Pittsburgh Symphony 

as tl1eir season opener. l11e TSO, worried 

about sales, opted instead for a sort of pops 

concert opener with Kathleen Battle, which 

·didn't sell very well. Meanwhile in Pittsburgh 

the Gurrelieder concert sold out, witll 

people lined up in the street to get tickets.) 

"l11e Penderccki Credo has sold out in 

Europe but you don't seem to expect it to sell 

out here", I ask. "Is there a problem "selling" 

new music, even great new music, in 

Toronto?" 

"Well tl1e T.S.O. is bringing back Gurre/ieder 

next season" he replies. "It is wonderful 

stuff, fabulous - it is early Schoenberg, very 

melodic, before he went atonal, and it will go 

over very well, it will be. an event." 

2Mi P*AQAW4W&4&01F 

But big choral works, he says, are another 

matter. "A colleague of mine in New York 

says that for most people there are only three 

works for choir -Messiah, Carmina Burana 

and Beetlloven's Ninth. '1 suppose you could 

add Brahms' and Verdi's Requiems and 

Mendelssohn'sElijah, but the point is, it is 

quite a small nwnber of pieces for choir to 

wllich audiences will come out in droves." 

"And here, we are presenting one 

piece that is only two years old, and a new 

cmrunission. People are much more inclined 

to get excited about that sort of tiling in 

Europe. In Toronto we are caught between 

our yearnings for England and our hopes for 

America, which make for a ldnd of hesitancy." 

"As artists, even, we tend to stay in 

groups, an alanning protectionism as we 

compete for the lion;s share of tile corporate 

and govenunent money and of the public's 

support. It would be good if we could !cam to 

support one another more." 

He looks grin! for a second, but only a 

second. "Things are gradually changing" he 

says. There are significant nwnbers of very 

musically cultured people here who, wrule 

they like the "chestnuts" are also interested 

in hearing new works. 

For them, he vows, March 7 will be 

as exciting and rewarding a concert as it will 

be for the perfonners t11emselves.

Camps, Retreats and Vacations 

- Learning Music this Summer 

There are two kinds of people: those who sit down in the month of March with maps and travel brochures and make their 

summer vacation plans far in advance; and those who don't. For you in the first group, we present our third annual roundup of 

summer music learning: summer camps, family programs, conservatory-level summer academies, adult education programs 

and music tours. Now is the time to select your children's music camp, fit the family vacation time around music lessons, or 

choose a retreat where you can polish your technique. 

Programs are grouped by age level. Some programs are only for children, some are geared at seniors. The "All Ages" category 

means a program offers courses for students of many ages, but not that each course is open to everyone. "Children and Youth" 

programs are mainly for those 18 and under. "Young Musicians" are musicians young in experience, but not necessarily age. 

The World Wide Web is rapidly becoming the fastest way to get complete and up-to-date program information for these 

programs. When available, web sites are given first, followed by postal address, phone, and e-mail. 

We have done what we can to ensure information is correct and current at time of publication. Please confirm all details 

including program contents, entrance requirements, deadlines, and prices with the individual organizations. A program's 

presence on the list does not imply an endorsement by WholeNote. 

All Ages 

The Royal Conservatory of Music bas perhaps the most comprehensive and varied selection of music courses in Ontario, 

for students of all ages at bt:ginm:r, iut~::nm:tliale, and advanced levels. The RCM runs its Summer Never Sounded So 

Good program between July 4 and August 11 on its downtown Toronto and Mississauga campuses. RCM offers private lessons 

for all ages and levels, and a six-week condensed Theory Class (July through early August) in preparation for the RCM exam. 

Call RCM to confirm this year's schedule. Courses designed especially for children in past years have included Music with 

Your Baby (6 months to 3 years), Preparatory Music for 3 year olds accompanied by a caregiver, Eurythmics (3 to 5), 

Summer Suzuki Plus (3+ ), and Keyboards and Computers for 6 to 10 year olds with up to 2 years of piano. 

Recent adult programs have included introductory courses like An Introduction to Singing and Guitar from Scratch, 

as well as Recorder Ensembles, Baroque Ensembles, and Composition. Music teachers have enhanced their 

professional skills ·with courses like Piano Pedagogy, 0&-ff Schulwerk, Kodaly Level II, Technology for Music 

Teachers, and Early Childhood Music Education.

Young Musicians and 

Adults 

The Centuries Opera Association 

Swruner Opera Workshop gives 

young singers a chance to perform in the 

theatre. "Young" singers are young in 

experience and are of all ages. "They're 

people who have talent, but who have 

never had a chance to perform before," 

COA director Michele Strano says. "A 40- 

year-old can be a young singer." COA 

produces complete operas from the 

standard repertoire in full costume and 

staging. This year Centuries is producing 

Gluck's Orfeo e Eurydice and Donizetti's 

Don Pasquale. "These are the roles that 

young singers should learn to put into 

action in the future," Strano explains. 

Performances will be staged at the Leah 

Posluns Theatre. 

The program costs vary depending on 

the complexity of the role, vocal coaching 

requirements, and costumes. Training 

runs from June 12 to August 27. Auditions 

have already begun: call Michele Strano 

416-787-3708 for further information. 

The Aria International Sununer 

Academy offers three weeks of intensive,

the daily newspapers' senior 

critics have attended and written 

reviews and tl1at the series has 

been lucky to receive some good 

corporate sponsorships. He 

attributes fuis success to tl1e

The Ford Centre Situation 

There's a lot of entirely 

laudable steaming and 

stewing going on downtown 

about opera houses past and 

present. Danger is, that 

another culturally important 

battle will be fought and lost 

at City Hall, before we even 

notice. 

In a city with more 

than its share of acoustically 

imperfect concert halls, the 

George Weston Recital Hall, 

praised for its wonderful 

acoustics by audiences and 

performers alike, has been a 

real treasure for the thousands 

of patrons who have 

passed through its doors since 

its opening in 1993. Many of 

the artists who have performed 

on its stage were brought there as 

part of the Concert Season of the 

Ford Centre for the Perfonning 

Arts, organized and administered 

by Liven! Inc. until its collapse in 

the fall of 1998, at which point Ute

Toronto is blessed with many fine clarinettists, and Stephen 

Fox is definitely one of that number. His playing with 

Orchestra Toronto (co-principal clarinet & saxes) and the 

Riverdale Ensemble is wonderful, but there is one thing that 

Fox does that sets him apart from all the other clarinet 

players in this city. Stephen Fox makes his own instruments. 

Stephen's interest in the clarinet 

started in tenth grade in 'Saskatchewan. 

At the time, he 

wanted to take up the oboe, but 

ended up with the clarinet 

instead. He says he's never 

regretted it, and loves the 

flexibility of the clarinet. 

While at the University of 

Saskatchewan Stephen played in 

the concert band, and later the 

Saskatoon Symphony Orchestra. 

After completing his Masters in 

Theoretical Plasma Physics, he 

did a Bachelors in Clarinet 

Perfonnance. 

Stephen started doing instrument 

repairs in 1985 in Saskatchewan. 

Upon moving to Toronto in 1987, 

he started working on custom 

keywork, major alterations and 

individual ttming of clarinets. 

The high quality of his work 

started to attract clients from 

across Canada, the United States 

and Europe. 

In 1990, Steve started making 

complete instruments. To date, 

he's made about twenty-five 

complete clarinets, plus a number 

of bassett joints (to extend the 

clarinet range for the Mozart 

concerto) and bass clarinet 

extensions. In addition to tl1e 

standard Bb and A clarinets, tl1e 

S. Fox line includes Eb & C 

clarinets, bassett horns, and 

period clarinets. Steve's 

instnuuents can also be ordered 

with three different bore stylesthe 

brighter French type, the dark 

Gennan bore, and a newer design 

based on the principles of 

acoustician Artlmr Benade. If 

that weren't enough in the way of 

variety, the clarinets are also 

available in several different 

woods. Steve has used grenadilla 

(African blackwood, the standard 

clarinet material), rosewood, 

cocobolo (a strikingly grained 

hardwood) and boxwood. 

Despite all of the variety, the 

prices ofS. Fox clarinets are 

comparable to those of the big 

clarinet manufacturers. It's 

actually quite a bargain when you 

factor in the time Steve spends 

personally tuning and play testing 

each clarinet. 

Fox clarinets have attracted a 

wide variety of players. The best 

known of these is probably TSO 

principal clarinettist Joaquin 

Valdepenas. Valdepenas uses an 

S. Fox clarinet on a soon-to-be 

released Amici CD. He also uses 

his Gennan bore S. Fox instrument 

for some of his work with 

the symphony. Other notable 

players of Steve's instruments 

include Don Pierre, the clarinettist 

and leader of the Glenn 

Miller Orchestra (Canada), and 

Kurt Bjorling, of the klezmer 

group "Brave Old World". 

Stephen Pierre, principal 

clarinettist of tl1e Hamilton 

Philharmonic has a bassett joint, 

and has perfonned on Fox's own 

personal boxwood period 

clarinet. 

If all of that wasn't enough, 

Stephen also spends about three 

months each year teaching 

instrument making at the Musikk 

Instrument Akademiet in Norway. 

Steve can be heard playing with 

the Riverdale Ensemble, with 

pianist Ellen Meyer and violinist 

Daniel Kushner, on March 5 at 

the McMichael Gallery in 

Kleinburg. ll1e concert starts at 

I :30 pm, and is free with gallery 

admission. If you miss that, keep 

an eye out for the forthcoming 

CD by the Riverdale Ensemble 

on the Furiant label.

Toronto's contemporary music calendar 

by David G. H. Parsons 

Hear & Now opens with some 

sad news for the entire Canadian 

new music community. Two of 

our most prominent senior 

women composers passed away 

last month - Barbara Pentland, 

O.C. (at age 87 on February 5), 

and Violet Archer, O.C. (at age 

86 on February 21). 

A champion of modemist 

teclmiques in Canadian music 

and a fascinating and engaging 

individual, Barbara Pentland was 

bom in Wiimipeg, studied in 

Montreal, Tanglewood and New 

York, and had Hindemith and 

Copland among her teachers. 

Pentland's works are 

typified by a marvelous economy 

of material, employment of 

serialist teclmiques, and an 

austerity that is reminiscent of 

the music of Anton Webem (a 

composer whom she greatly 

admired). A number of her later 

pieces were inspired by a concem 

about larger political and social 

issues, including the need for 

protecting our natural environment. 

Pentland taught at the 

University of British Columbia 

from 1949-1963, received the 

Dip lome d'hotmeur ( 1977), two 

honourary doctorates, and the 

Order of Canada. New Music 

Concerts will pay tribute to 

Barbara Pentland on May 14, 

when Robert Aitken and Erica 

Goodman add "Trance" for flute 

and harp to t11at society's next 

Toronto programme. 

Violet Archer, an 

incredibly prolific artist, wrote 

more than 252 works in virtually 

all media. Among her distinguished 

teachers were Claude 

Champagne, Bartok and 

Hindemith, and she earned her 

Masters Degree from Yale. 

Archer was composer-inresidence 

at North Texas State 

College and taught at several 

American universities, before 

moving to the University of 

Alberta in 1962 where she taught 

until her retirement in 1978. 

Described as "a master of 

complex dissonant counterpoint," 

Archer was also often inspired by 

simple folk materials, showing 

the lasting influences of her 

teachers. She had a particular 

enthusiasm for creating high 

quality music for children to play. 

Among her many awards were 

three honourary doctorates and 

the Order of Canada. In 1987 the 

Prairie Region of the Canadian 

Music Centre named the Violet 

Archer Library in her honour. 

Both these women will be 

greatly missed by their munerous 

friends, students and musical 

colleagues. 

"Mystery & Majesty" is the 

combined effect when the 

Victoria Scholars and the Elora 

Festival Singers combine under 

the direction of Noel Edison for a 

programme of spiritually inspired 

music on March 5. Featured is 

the Canadian premiere of Jolm 

Tavener's "llumder Entered 

Her", Charles Marie Widor's 

"Messe pour deux choeurs et 

deux orgues", plus works by 

Durufle, Arvo Part and some 

Gregorian chant. A highlight 

will be the world premiere of a 

new choral work from Christos 

Hatzis. 

On March 7, Music 

Toronto showcases pianist Eve 

Egoyan. TI1is outstanding 

exponent of 20th century music 

has chosen composers Alvin 

Curran (UK), Michael Finnissy 

(USA), Michael Longton and 

Linda C. Smith (CAN), as well 

as pieces by Erik Satie and 

Alexander Scriabin. ll1ere will 

also be a world premiere by

'"" 

penRFW66%5i 

Toronto composer James Rolfe. 

Several of the works 

selected for this concert appear 

on her new CD, "the things in 

between" [ART 019], a recording 

that has been making big soWld 

waves in the music world ever 

since its laWlch at BRAVO in 

October last year. Egoyan is a 

master of pianistic nuance and 

explores the full possibilities of 

her instrument's shading and 

colour in" ... intriguing, often 

unfamiliar, and magical ways." 

This is a concert not to be 

missed. 

As periodically occurs, however, 

the available choices on March 7 

will be tough for new music fans, 

from the introspection of solo 

piano to the massive sonorities of 

chorus and orchestra. In the latter 

category, the Toronto 

Mendelssohn Choir is giving the 

Canadian premiere of Krzystof 

Penderecki's recent "Credo" 

(involving double chorus, soloists 

and extensive percussion forces). 

The concert also has Glenn 

Buhr's "Gloria" (commissioned 

by the choir). Buhr will discuss 

his work during a pre-concert 

chat with CBC Radio's Rick 

Phillips. The stellar line-up 

includes Meredith Hall and 

Hemiette Schellenberg, sopranos; 

Linda Maguire and Judith Forst, 

mezzos; Robert Pomakov, 

baritone; with Jacques Lacombe 

and Noel Edison both conducting. 

The Hannaford Street Silver 

Band explores Japan on March 

12. Its aftemoon concert of 

contemporary brass music, with 

guest euphonium soloist 

Shoichiro Hokozono, at the Jane 

Mallett Theatre, includes pieces 

by a number of Japanese composers. 

Programmed are a munber 

of works that have not been heard 

in Toronto before- h1agki, 

"Tirree Japru1ese Folk Songs"; 

Tsuken, "Legend for Euphonium"; 

Takemitsu, "In The 

Garden Rain"; and Ellerby, "New 

World Dances". 

That same evening 

(March 12) you can head over to 

Trinity Square for the latest in 

the engaging informal series 

"Salon des Refuses". This 

installment features selected art 

songs by Toronto composers 

Gerald Berg and Colin Eatock, 

among others. 

The Toronto String Quartet, 

one of Music Toronto's resident 

ensembles, performs again on 

March 21. A progrrumne of 

quartets by Mozart and Verdi is 

enlivened by the Toronto 

premiere of"Quantum Mechrulics" 

by Jeffrey Ryan, popular 

composer-advisor with Music 

Toronto and host of their 

"Contemporary Classics" series. 

While it will be the first time 

local audiences will have a 

chance to hear this strong new 

work in its entirety, a portion was 

presented last month at the du 

Maurier Theatre as a "teaser". 

Its energy, technical demands, 

ru1d clever structure (the piece is 

based on physics, containing 

musical interpretations of such 

reactions as fission and fusion) 

should make it a hit with 

chamber music audiences. 

Science buffs take special note! 

On March 24, the Esprit 

Orchestra presents the third 

concert of the season, exploring 

ail ongoing theme of music either 

inspired by, or composed in, the 

Far East. Works on the prograiiUne 

include Maki Ishii's 

"Concertante" for solo marimba 

ru1d six percussionists (Canadian 

premiere), ru1d Jose Evangelista's 

"Alap & Gat" - inspired by 

North h1dian musical fonns. 

"Jose has been strongly 

influenced by Asian cultures, and 

this 1998 composition is no 

exception, plus it's an extremely 

channing work as well," says 

Esprit's artistic director Alex 

Pauk. "We've done some 

fantastic, electric larger orchestral 

pieces by Maki Ishii in ti1e 

past, and I believe I've fow1d a 

work on a smaller scale that 

canies the srune pw1ch. It's also 

a tour-de-force for marimba 

soloist Ryru1 Scott," he adds. 

Pauk stresses his enthusiasm for 

Ishii, and it should continue over 

ti1e next two seasons with more 

of his orchestral music being 

programmed. 

"Pulau dewata", Claude 

Vivier's most widely perfonned 

piece, has a flexible instnunentation, 

existing in several versions. 

Esprit will be playing ti1e 

arrangement ·by Jolm Rea. "An 

emphasis in titese selections, 

including ti1e Vivier," says Pauk, 

"is the idea that Esprit maintains 

relationships with composers, 

introduces different works by 

ti1em, ru1d gives repeat perfonnances." 

On April2, it is possible to spend 

a whole day immersed in 20th 

century choral music. At 3pm,

pieces, often inc~rpor~ting folk 

materials from hts native land. 

His oeuvre encompasses many 

genres, including three symphonies, 

choral works, and numerous 

accordion pieces. Also on the 

programme is Jolm Rutter's 

"Gloria". 

Then, at 8pm, the Elmer 

I Iseler Singers and Rosedale

A mixed bag ofjazz can be found 

in town this month, ranging from 

classic traditional jazz to the 

avant-garde. 

1l1ere is one more CJRT Science 

Centre Concert this month, 

Monday March 6 with tl1e Bob 

Brough/Stan Fomin Q uartet. 

Stylistically it falls somewhere in 

the middle range of that series. 

Long-time jazz fans will surely 

recognise tl1e name of Bob 

Brough. He has been an active 

member of the Toronto scene for 

many years, is a wonderful 

saxophone player and a deeply 

committed musician. His partner 

in tl1is quartet is newer on the 

scene and perhaps less well 

known, but he and Bobby have 

been working togetl1er now for 

some time. Ontario Science 

Centre Auditorium, 770 Don 

Mills Road, 416-595-0404. 

Admission is $8.00, parking free. 

March 4 at 8pm, Toronto's 

ues with its Encounters 2000 

· series on April 5 once again 

pairing the works of a Canadian 

and an international composer on 

tl1e same concert. Artistic 

director Lawrence Cherney has 

tl1is time selected Canadian 

Jeffrey Ryan and Norwegian Rolf 

Wallin. 

"Both t11ese composers 

are at siinilar stages of their 

careers, " says Cherney. "Judging 

from the pieces I've heard, 

Jeff is a highly skilled craftsman 

and I have the sense of a very 

thoughtful composer. While there 

is a lot on the surface to attract 

t11e ear, he is also a creator of 

great depth." 

Cherney discovered 

Wallin when that composer won 

tl1e International Rostrum of 

Composers last year with 

"Ground" tor solo cello and 18 

divisi strings. "While there is a 

big intellect here and lots of 

theory behind his work, Wallin's 

music also operates at a very 

visceral level," says Cherney. As 

an added attraction, Rolf Wallin 

will perfonn wearing the 

"controller suit" which he 

developed at IRCAM, an actual 

suit of clotl1ing c01mected to an 

interactive computer and 

generating electroacoustics. 

Soloists include Erica 

Goodman, (harp), Beverley 

Jolmston (percussion), Shaw1a 

Rolston (cello) and the Encounters 

Ensemble will be led by 

conductor Gary Kulesha. 

And, the Canadian Opera 

Company mounts several 

performances of an early .20~century 

masterpiece, begmnmg 

on April 7. Claude Debussy's . 

"Pelleas et Melisande" ( 1902) ts 

perhaps the landmark achievement 

of the French composer's 

career. An impressionistic stage 

work that has been described as 

"Wagnerianism in French dre~s", 

"Pelleas" is haunting, mystenous, 

largely devoid of action and yet 

strangely mesmerizing. Many 

opera fans regard it as one of the 

fmest creations in the genre. 

Although composed a century ago 

- and certainly no longer "new 

music" - this is still a unique 

opera with no real stylistic 

successor in the literature. Don't 

pass up this "one of a kind" 

operatic experience.

Back in June of last year I raised 

the question of jazz venues and 

the "respectability" jazz aspired 

to when it was presented in, let's 

say Carnegie Hall, as opposed to 

Eddie Condon's or The Village 

Vanguard. For example, is a jazz 

performance at the Montreal 

Bistro by Junior Mance any less 

valid than a concert hall perfonnance 

by Cyrus Chestnut? TI1e 

earlier social prejudices against 

jazz and jazz musicians have all 

but disappeared. Most of my 

fellow jazz musicians are, as the 

time-honoured phrase goes, 

"decent, law-abiding citizens", 

and all of them sound at least as 

good in a conducive club setting 

as they do in a concert hall. I 

have seen the Basie band play in 

concert and I've seen them play 

for a dance. I think they had more 

fun at the dance. If you have any 

thoughts on the matter, please 

send them to me at WholeNote. 

In the meantime remember that 

music is best enjoyed live, be it 

in a concert hall or in a club. 

About a year ago, I presented 

Travel! in' Light, a series of six 

radio progranunes on CBC Radio 

2. Well, things are so bad at CBC 

these days that they have decided 

to give me another series. Each 

week I take a trip into my 

personal time warp and share 

some music, some anecdotes, 

some memories and insight into 

the jazz life. It airs on Fridays, 

begim1ing March 3 at I Opm. Give 

it a listen, because if I b1unp into you 

on the street, I'll ask questions!

TI1e combined group will perfonn 

music for orchestra and brass 

band, including the 1812

HSSB playing music by Japanese 

composers. The band has two 

guests for this concert - euphonium

Curnow's name will be familiar 

to many band aficionados. He's a

in Classic Opera 

with the favourites 

Not Gounod, not Puccini, not Verdi, not ~ossini, 

... not March, but very definitely c/asszcal! 

Gino Quilico in Donizetti's Lucia di Lammennoo~ . 

Although there · was usually c 1 asslca · 1 mUSIC · p 1 a ying around . fr the house tl 

when I was growing up, eitlter on recor~ or over the radio . om te 

dependable CBC, I don't remember he~ng much opera unhl l;as 

in m late 20s or early 30s. Titerefore, If you. wer~ to ~k me w at 

operr diva has had the greatest effect on my unag~atto~ woul~ be 

forced to adlnit that that distinction belongs to a smger o~ V~lce 1 

have never heard, altl10ugh she travell.ed and recorded ~e:~~~·se 

I refer of course to Madame Blanca Castafiore~ e 

N'ghtingale known to several generations ofschoolchil~en as the 

Ol;ly recurri;lg female character of any significance at allm the 

popular Tin tin books. 

Once, when quizzed by an 

admiringjotmtalist abo~t her 

repertoire for an upcommg 

concert tour, La Divine Bianca 

replies t11at she'll be. s~nging ~e 

great classics: ~'Puccm~, Verdi:, 

Rossini Gounl ... oh, Silly me, 

she corrects ' herse If , "G oun? d" · 

Which brings me to the top1c of 

t11is month's article. If Madame 

Castafiore were around Toronto 

tJ1is month, she'd be very much 

in her element, as all four of 

those opera greats are represented 

in the calendar. 

Giuseppe Verdi's name is more 

or less synonymous with Italian 

opera. The composer of such 

inunortal standards as La 

Traviata ll Trovatore and Aida 

was bo~ in 1813, and died at the 

dawn of the new century (in 

1901) _the autho.r of~8 operas. 

Verdi's Rigoletto IS bemg 

presented by Toronto Opera 

Repertoire from Marc~ 3 to 5 ~t 

the Bickford Centre. Rigoletto IS 

the bitter tale of t11e wicked jester 

whose plotting robs him of his 

beloved daughter, and - in case 

you haven't heard ofth~m . 

Toronto Opera Repertotre IS a 

group that includes bo~ ~at.eurs

A. second Verdi production in 

M:ruch is a concert perfonnance 

>fthe obscure Giovruma d'Arco 

'Joan of Arc) by Verdi by the 

Canadian Opera Company 

Orchestra and Chorus with 

soprano Elena Prokina on March 

18 at the George Weston Recital 

Hall in the former North York. 

Gioachino Rossini, he of the 

rollicking scores and Ute good 

parts for mezzo sopranos, wrote 

39 operas during his lifetime 

( 1792-1868). His greatly loved 

Barber of Seville (the one opera 

overture known to all children, 

grazie Bugs Burmyy) is being 

presented by Opera Mississauga 

on March 30 and April I at 

Mississauga's Hrunmerson Hall. 

Giacomo Puccini was bom in 

1858 and died in 1924, during 

which time he wrote twelve 

operas. His frrst success was 

Manon Lescaut, and he followed 

it with such durable standards as 

Madam Butterfly and Tosca. But 

one of his most popular works, 

and one of the two or Utree best 

loved operas of all time, is La 

Boheme, which will be perfanned 

by the Canadian Opera 

Company at the Hmnmingbird 

Centre from April 6 onwards. 

lltis is the heartbreaker Utat Cher 

rutd Nicholas Cage weep to in the 

movie Moonstruck, about the 

little seamstress nruned Mimi 

who dies of consumption in her 

lover Rodolfo's anns. Even 

people who don't listen to opera 

at all will be familiar with 

several of its tmtes, as they're 

always being used in movie 

smmdtracks and TV commericals 

whenever some director needs 

music that suggests the good life. 

llte University of Toronto's 

Faculty of Music Opera 

Division is also mounting a 

Puccini opera: La Rondine, first 

perfonned in I 917. Seldom 

revived, this version will be 

conducted by Raffi Annenian at 

the MacMillan llteatre from 

March 2 to 5. 

As ruty frut of Ute Tint in books 

knows, Bianca Castafiore's 

greatest trimnph carne witlt her 

rendition of the Jewel Song from 

Gounod's Faust ("Ah my beauty 

past compare, Utese jewels bright 

I wear: run I truly Marguerite?" 

and so on). A standard showpiece 

for sopranos, Ute aria is 

smtg by Ute innocent and virtuous 

Marguerite as she tries on a 

casket of jewelry left behind by 

Ute devilish Mephistopheles. 

If, like me, you've been curious 

about the piece since you fll'St 

encountered Madame Castafiore 

rutd her terrifyingly powerful 

voice, you can see the entire 

opera as perfonned by Opera 

Ontario between April! and 14 

in one of two back-to-back runs 

at Hrunilton Place and The 

Centre in Ute 

Kitchener.

A fmal note: Quite a different 

kind of musical Uteatre is coming 

to the Batlturst Street Theatre 

from March 10 to April 9 as Ute 

Georgian Theatre Festival 

presents a new production of 

Godspell. Perhaps not as well 

known as the oUter musical about 

Jesus Christ (Andrew Lloyd 

Webber's Jesus Christ Superstar), 

it's also less earnest, and 

includes some lovely songs based 

on scriptural passages. A few, 

like "Day by Day", are occasionally 

played on the radio, but none 

of them ever became real hits. 

Nonetlteless, the show is well 

worth seeing.

Jhln October and November 

1 audiences in Dallas, Texas had 

the opportunity to experience 

her unique amalgam of vocal 

e.artistry and real life experience 

in her performances of 

' Mozart's La Clemenza di Tiro, 

J in which she sang the part of 

·e Vitellia, sharing the stage with 

:. American superstar, Frederika 

von Stade. The critics were 

enthusiastic: "Superb work by 

the entire cast went into this 

triumph, but the star of the 

ovening was soprano linda 

Maguire as Vitellia .... " 

On March 7 Maguire will join 

four other soloists, Judith 

Forst, Henriette Schellenberg, 

Gary Rideout and Robert 

Pomakov in the Toronto 

Mendelssohn Choir's performance 

of Krzystof Penderecki's 

Credo. 

She is no stranger to 

, Penderecki's work, having 

performed his Polish Requiem 

in Vancouver two years ago. I 

was bowled over by his music 

she told me, it is modern but 

big, thick .... He took the Credo 

another step - it's almost 

melodic and highly accessible. 

Another smart choice, this one 

Linda Maguire's, has been to 

start her own web site. No 

mere bio with a photo or two, 

this 1000 MB website offers 

visitors numerous streamed 

audio and video clips of Linda, 

including one made by the BBC 

of a performance she did at the 

Glyndebourne Festival of 

Rossini's Ermione. 

It is not, according to 

Oakville's Paul Davies, who 

created the site, an original idea 

for an opera singer to have a 

web site, but Maguire has been 

innovative and has gone the 

extra mile in providing so 

much audio and especially 

video material. Much of the 

audio material can be 

downloaded in MP3 format. 

It is Maguire's hope that 

the website will serve her well 

as a sort of pre-audition, that 

will help musical directors 

determine if they are seriously 

interested in using her. Among 

the things it will convey much 

better than an eight minute 

audition is the range and scope 

of what she does musically · 

Gershwin to Penderecki and 

both mezzo and soprano roles.

also contains the complete "Hermit Songs", Op. 29 and the (lve 

"Melodies Passaeeres". "Stephanie Piercey: Nocturne" is a superb 

debut CD from one of today's most exciting sopranos, 

a must-have for lovers of vocal music and song.
