“Moby-Dick” sails in Met Opera
Jane Boa
Boa writes about classic music to go.
Among the most prominent of them There is no doubt that the opening lines of literature is Hermann Milville’s speech by Hermann Melville. For only three words, “Call Me Ishmael” is packaged a lot: name, metaphor, friendship, order. But the opera “Mobi Dick” It does not start with this line. Earn it. At Jake Hyouji’s degree, words appear in terms of the tool as a incentive of four tools that recede, but only when the story ends, when you are ready for the book, do they speak loudly. Jane Sher, the dead player, told me, “The needle that pulls the thread of the audience with him,” a needle that pulls the thread of the audience with him “that passes near Greenhurn in the opera, is” the needle that pulls the fans with him. “” We see that happens in the actual time. “

Starting March 3, you can see it in the actual time in Metropolitan Opera, an arrival of years in making. The new production does not shout out of its original shape – that is Kinks in Libretto and music has been prepared long ago, when it was first shown in Dallas, in 2010. It is worth noting that it has a height. The opera is completely held on the water, and it is abandoned by the sixteen whispered on its land from the text of the source. The maids and ropes extend to the top and climbed by sailors, so that some bodies go up from the frame. At this new stage, the same height does not avoid vision. “The group is somewhat similar to the giant ski slope.”. “We always had height, but we were never able to use it completely.” The theater itself also extends around this time. Hegie told me, “Linny has expanded it on the hole, so it would be in the face of the audience all the time.” If you are exposed to sweat, it will simply be more indulging.
The MET version has also been updated technology – the opera uses the marine projections designed by Eline McCarthy – and an expanded group. “This will be to a large extent the largest production offer,” Hegi told me. “It is an escape.” The main defenders – including the Tenor Stephen Costilo, who displays Greenhurn in 2010; Tenor Brandon Jovanovic, as the leader of August; And Ryan Speedo Green, as Royal Polinisia Harboner Kyukij – a strong choir, of course, is reinforced by a dead orchestra. Will the famous whale continue to overcome the audience as it was in Ahab? “We may see a little more than it this time,” Fujlia hinted intelligently. If there is a place for that, then this is.

like Father John Mesti, Multiple singer Josh Tillaman is developing albums like a little psychological. Since his short work with Fleet Foxes, Tillaman has built the existential concept records that extend to a people, the great comprehensive jazz, soft rocks, and independent pop, with the sarcastic eye for the irregular disturbing. His record was in the second year, “I love you, Hani,” who reached the tenth of this month, is the dismantling of breathtaking and baroque to the self, but the subsequent publications seemed outside (and the sky), looking. In his album last year, “Mahashmashana”, which takes its title from the word Sanskrit for a bodies burning, wanders around the idea of the place where the universe dies and is born again, and continues to investigate the investigation towards the spiritual revelation.Shieldon Pierce (Manara Theater; February 26)

Hull (Elijah Jones), the young protagonist in Dakin Matthews Henry IV– A mixture of Shakespeare “Henry IV, Part 1” and “Part 2” – It spoils that his father (Matthews), King of England, wished publicly that his son would have turned at birth with a Spitfire Hotspur soldier (James Udom). Hal’s Shenanigans, which was followed by Sir Falstaff (Jay O. Sanders), this poor man in the aspirations of greatness. Likewise, this production meets with humility, no more than a small stage with two chairs. Team with many highlights, including Udom and Sanders – grows to include grumbling forests, noisy, and sometimes rocky pub Sometimes, the ambitious terrain left.Dan Stal (Bolonsky Shivspeare Center; until March 2)
