Maria Callas: the 100th birth Anniversary - LA VESTALE
2023-10-28 18:30 - 21:00 | Gerald W. Lynch Theater, 524 West 59th Street, New York, NY, 10019, United States
Saturday, October 28th, 2023 – 6:30pm EST

At Teatro Grattacielo, we are driven by a fundamental mission: to promote and preserve the performances of rare operatic masterpieces. This season, we are thrilled to align ourselves with the global celebration of the 100th anniversary of the birth of the legendary soprano, Maria Callas. These momentous celebrations are graciously supported by UNESCO.
We invite you to embark on a journey into history as we revive the remarkable opera, La Vestale, composed by Gaspare Spontini. This particular opera holds special significance in Callas’ career, as she mesmerized audiences during its performance on Teatro Alla Scala’s opening night in 1954, brilliantly directed by the renowned Italian film director Luchino Visconti, has only graced the stage of the Metropolitan Opera once, way back in 1926.
Now, almost a century later, Teatro Grattacielo proudly brings the historic 1954 version of La Vestale back to the vibrant city of New York.

Angel of Many Signs

The New York Choral Society presents Angel of Many Signs, an immersive production of choral music featuring the New York premiere of Angel of Light a new Shaker-inspired cantata by Kevin Siegfried and contemporary arrangements of the music of Hildegard of Bingen.
Chantal Freeman, Bergamot Quartet, Saya Woolfalk and Raquel Acevedo Klein join The New York Choral Society.

Raquel Acevedo Klein and Bergamot Quartet create an improvised electronic sound environment that responds to and enhances the unique timbre of each Hildegard of Bingen composition sung by our chorus and Chantal Freeman. Electronic looping will expand the experience of our sound environment as Saya Woolfalk’s unfolding narrative of images and video create an immersive visual environment that mirrors the ethereal spaciousness of the music.
Angel of Many Signs, with voices, string quartet, electronica, and projections, bridges the music of a 12th century abbess and Shaker women of the mid-19th to explore the roles of women as polymaths, visionaries, and prophets in music and art.

Our production takes its inspiration from a Shaker gift drawing A Sacred Sheet Sent from Holy Mother Wisdom by Her Angel of Many Signs. According to Shaker tradition, heavenly spirits came to earth, bringing visions, often giving them to young Shaker women, who danced, whirled, spoke in tongues, and interpreted these visions through their drawings and dancing.

From as a far back as Pythia at Delphi, who served as the mouthpiece of the god Apollo, women have often served, although not always celebrated, as messengers of the divine. Despite being separated by many centuries, Hildegard of Bingen and the Shaker women of Watervliet were fascinating polymaths who brought a uniquely feminine perspective to their ecstatic visions of the divine that that ranged from music and movement to devotional manuscripts and drawings.

Mannes Opera presents “Lysistrata or the Nude Goddess”

Mannes Opera presents “Lysistrata or the Nude Goddess” inspired by Aristophanes’ comedy about the women of Athens and Sparta who, embittered by endless war between the two cities, refuse to have sex with their men until the fighting stops. The opera is not an adaptation but a fantastical riff on the ancient Greek play.

Kizuna Dance presents Father Absence | Mother Ma
www.cameronmckinneydance.com
Kizuna Dance’s residency and performance at the Gerald W. Lynch Theater at John Jay College are supported by CUNY Dance Initiative.
For the company’s 10-year anniversary in 2024, Kizuna Dance premieres a deeply personal work by Artistic Director Cameron McKinney. A way of processing his father’s death in 2022 – a man Cameron never met — FATHER ABSENCE | MOTHER MA brings a hyperphysical focus to the Japanese concept of “ma,” or possibilities inherent in the empty spaces between objects and bodies. Through a movement language that blends street dance styles, capoeira, and contemporary floorwork, the work will explore the multiversity of loss and feelings of being left behind.
