FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: May 23, 2003
Singers from the Oberlin Conservatory of Music to Perform
with The Cleveland Orchestra in Verdi's Don Carlo June 5 and 7
OBERLIN, OHIO--The Cleveland Orchestra has engaged three singers from the
Oberlin Conservatory of Music to perform as soloists in its concert
production of Verdi's Don Carlo, conducted by Franz Welser-M=F6st, at
Severance Hall Thursday, June 5, and Saturday, June 7. Both performances
are at 7 p.m. Robert Porco and Betsy Burleigh are preparing The Cleveland
Orchestra Chorus for the performances.
Soprano Malia Bendi Merad has been cast as A Voice from Heaven,
mezzo-soprano Rebecca Ringle will sing Thibault, and tenor Joseph Holmes is =
the Count of Lerma. This performance--a mere week and a half after Bendi
Merad, Ringle, and Holmes will have received their Oberlin bachelor of
music degrees--represents their Cleveland Orchestra debuts.
Bendi Merad, whose "perfectly placed, expressive soprano and excellent
French diction proved [her] a singer to watch" (The Wall Street Journal),
studied at Oberlin with Associate Professor of Singing Lorraine Manz.
Ringle, who will enroll this fall in the master of music program in opera
at the Yale School of Music, was a student of Professor of Singing Gerald
Crawford. Holmes, winner of the 2002 Barbara E. Maze Award for Musical
Excellence from the Handel and Haydn Society, studied with Professor of
Singing Richard Miller.
Don Carlo will be sung in Italian with projected English surtitles. These
performances of the revised four-act Italian version of the opera, which
dates from 1883-84, will include one 30-minute intermission between Acts II =
and III. (The original five-act version of the opera, Don Carlos, completed =
in 1866, was first performed at the Paris Op=E9ra and is sung in French.)
The libretto of Don Carlo by Joseph M=E9ry and Camille du Locle (based on =
the
dramatic poem by Friedrich von Schiller) was translated into Italian by
Achille de Lauzi=E8res and Angelo Zanardini. The setting of Don Carlo is
France and Spain, about 1560.
In addition to being the first opera performances by The Cleveland
Orchestra under the direction of Franz Welser-M=F6st, these will be the =
first
Cleveland Orchestra performances of an Italian opera in Severance Hall
since the 1934-35 season.
These performances are also significant for Oberlin because they will be
the final Cleveland Orchestra concerts for Oberlin Professor of Trombone
James DeSano, occupant of the Gilbert W. and Louise I. Humphrey Chair in
the orchestra's trombone section. DeSano, principal trombonist for the
orchestra since 1989, is retiring from the orchestra in June.
TICKET PRICES (Add $5 for Saturday): Orchestra: $75, $60; Dress Circle:
$90, $65; Balcony: $75, $65, $40. Tickets are available at the Severance
Hall Ticket Office. Please call 216-231-1111 or 800-686-1141 for more
information, or visit the orchestra's web site at =
www.clevelandorchestra.com
The Oberlin Conservatory of Music, founded in 1865, is renowned
internationally for the professional training opportunities it provides its =
students. Young singers at Oberlin work with some of the best
artist-educators in the country, and Oberlin voice students have won the
praise of critics from The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and The =
Plain Dealer. Although Oberlin student singers, and the Oberlin College
Choir, have performed with The Cleveland Orchestra in the past, this
collaboration is part of Franz Welser-M=F6st's new educational initiatives
featuring collaborations with the Oberlin Conservatory of Music and other
area music institutions, established at the start of Welser-M=F6st's tenure =
as music director. In addition, Welser-M=F6st is committed to participate =
in
the coaching and conducting of Oberlin students and student ensembles. He
is in his first season as music director of The Cleveland Orchestra.
Oberlin students will again perform with the orchestra in select concerts
during its 2003-04 season.
