Dear Lyric Stage Friend,
On February 2, 2008, the Lyric Stage League presents CABARET '08, the annual fund-raising event for Lyric Stage. Marilyn Maye, fresh from her New York City triumph, will headline this year's gala at the beautiful Four Seasons Resort and Club. Marilyn Maye was one of the brightest lights of television, supper clubs and the recording industry during the 1960's. She became a fixture on THE TO-NIGHT SHOW with Steve Allen and Johnny Carson and enjoyed a great re-cording career with RCA. After an absence of over 15 years, she made a tri-umphant return to New York City last fall. THE NEW YORK OBSERVER's Rex Reed proclaimed "This woman has eve-rything. She can belt, and she can sing ballads with the kind of warmth that makes your heart smile. She has a theatrical flair that captivates and en-thralls, and jazz-spiced chops that can reach notes most singers one-third her age can't even hit in their dreams. The standing ovations were unlike any-thing I've seen since the halcyon days of Lena Horne at the Waldorf. She's the real deal." Join us for a fantastic dinner at the Four Seasons and the incomparable Marilyn Maye for only $125 per person. CABARET '08 Starring Marilyn May The Four Seasons Resort and Club February 2, 2008 Call Rae Jaben @ 972-258-6317 for tickets and more information.

Mark Lowry of the Ft. Worth Star-Telegram says, "Lyric Stage is North Texas' finest, and most important, musical theater company." CABARET '08 is Lyric Stage's primary fund-raising event. We look forward to seeing you at CABARET '08. Sincerely, Steven Jones Lyric Stage

The Labyrinth Theatre Presents Rocket Man by Steven Dietz Rocket Man is a thoughtful comedy. Donny Rowan has placed everything he owns on his lawn, along with a sign that reads: "Here's My Life. Make An Offer." Through the skylight in his attic he ponders the universe and the choices of his life from his reclining chair, staring at the stars. Somewhere out there, Donny believes, is a place where all the roads we never chose converge. ROCKET MAN explores this "parallel world" and the effect his journey has on his friends and family.

MasterSingers, the February 12th tribute by the New Philharmonic Orchestra of Irving to singers features a chorus of outstanding vocalists from all four Irving high schools. Conductor Sergio Espinosa opens the 8 pm performance with the Prelude to Wagner’s beloved opera Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg, a simple love story complicated by the familiar tension between the old and new, the traditional and the progres-sive. The Overture reflects the pomp of the mastersingers song competi-tion, the dignified music related to the opera’s hero, Walther, and the busy contrapuntal music of the mastersingers themselves. The combined chorus of Irving students joins the orchestra to perform two of Mozart’s much loved choral pieces; Te deum and Ave verum. In 1769 the young teenaged Mo-zart composed his Te deum, a setting of an early Christian hymn. The Ave verum corpus was Mozart’s final completed choral work before his death in 1791 and is considered by many to be one of the most beautiful pieces of
music ever composed. Next to come is Borodin’s In the Steppes of Central Asia, the picturesque symphonic poem describing a desert encounter between Russians and a caravan of Easterners. The program finale is Haydn’s Symphony No. 104, the final among the great “London” symphonies written between 1790 and 1795. These last twelve symphonies were distinguished by a more expansive instrumentation using trumpets, clarinets, and timpani, and expanded harmonic range, dramatic, slow first movement introductions, and minuets which often were borderline scherzi. The London Symphony, well-received on its premier, remains an audience favorite.
The 7 pm Pre-concert Recital Series features Martha Walvoord, violin and Nicholas Hutchinson, piano performing the Adagio sostenuto movement of Beethoven’s Sonata No. 9 in A Major, "Kreutzer" and the Allegretto ben moderato and Allegro movements from Franck’s Sonata in A Major. The Irving Arts Center is located north of Airport Freeway at 3333 North MacArthur Blvd. For more information and to order tickets, call the Irving Arts Center Box Office at 972-252-2787 or order online at www.irvingartscenter.com!

Voces Intimae is the only chamber music group in the Metroplex founded to inspire the revival of Art Song in the North Texas region. The New York Times on the Italienisches Liederbuch: "...intimacy is a defining quality of this collection of 46 lieder, settings of anonymous Tuscan and Venetian love poems adapted into German by Paul Heyse. Wolf signals his intent in the first line of the opening song: ''Even little things can delight us.'' These lieder are art-ful miniatures...as Wolf takes us through a back-and-forth chronicle of a love affair that moves from smitten bliss to lovers spats to a rueful, sarcastic parting...."

The Living Opera Gail Essary [email protected] http://www.thelivingopera.org/
The Living Opera Announces 2008 Educational Outreach Tour
Girl Meets Boy in Puccini's La Boheme!
The Living Opera's Educational Outreach Tour is a great way to introduce children to the incomparable art of opera. Each spring, we bring an operatic presentation to schools throughout north Texas. These performances are designed to show children how accessible and fun opera can be, helping them to form a positive impression of opera.
"What's Going On?" Program For 2008, The Living Opera will present an interactive program called "What's Going On?" As opposed to presenting a short opera we have decided to make this year's program more edu-cational. The idea for the program came when a child was heard saying, "This is so stupid! I can't even understand what they are saying! What's going on?!" In this program we attack the language barrier head on. The program focuses on how opera can transcend the language barrier and tells a story that everyone most definitely understands. Students are exposed to how powerful the storytelling in opera truly is by addressing their two biggest complaints, op-era is "not understandable" and "in a foreign language". While we will admit the later, we strongly disagree with the former and have set out to disprove this to students. Our presentation, called "Boy Meet's Girl" is the self-contained last half of the first act of Puccini's masterpiece, La Boheme. This is not your traditional stuffy La Boheme. Gone are the "old" and "gray" Mimi and Rodolfo, these lovers are young, beautiful, and very similar to the couples students are likely to see in their local mall. We move the story from Paris France 1830, to Dallas Texas 2007. We are in the middle of a power blackout during a storm and thus the stage is set for one of the most famous candle scenes known in opera or theatre! THE DETAILS: Our Composer-in-Residence and Principal Guest Conductor - Gregory Sullivan Isaacs - will act as both MC and pianist on our journey through La Boheme. We will supply teachers with a brief study guide as well as a student study guide with information about the opera, the book on which it is based, a biography of the composer and librettist, biographies of the singers and Maestro Isaacs, something about The Living Opera, and mention of the transmutation of La Boheme into the Broadway hit - Rent, a show many are likely to at least be loosely aware of - most would be surprised to find out it started it's life as an opera! Educators and Education Administrators interested in the TLO Educational Outreach Program should contact us for more details on the "What's Going On?" Program and a small packet including pages from the study guide, a bio on Pulitzer Prize nominated composer and TLO Principal Guest Conductor, Gregory Sullivan Isaacs, a price listing, and complete outline of the program please contact us at [email protected].

The Mission: The CAN organization was created for the purpose of helping cooperative member arts organizations build audiences by supporting each other. CAN will send notifications to list members with news of member organizations' upcoming events and other arts news of interest. The Rules: 1. Since this is a "cooperative" of arts organizations supporting each other, member groups who
would like to post notices, agree to "receive" notifications from other member groups in return. Individuals will have the option at any time to "opt-out" if they choose not to receive future notifications by e-mailing the list manager.
2. In order to preserve the integrity and quality of the postings to this list and to prevent any unwanted "Spamming," all notifications that member groups want to send through this notification list must come through the list manager. Groups simply send an e-mail notification to the list manager with a descriptive write-up and it will be sent. If there are multiple notifications that need to go out, they may be grouped together to reduce the number of e-mails that are sent to the list.
If at anytime, you would like to be removed from this e-mail list or if you are a new organization that would like to join, please e-mail the list manager and your request will be acted upon in a timely manner. As always, thank-you for supporting the performing arts in the North Texas area! Regards, David Witherspoon List Manager [email protected]
