American Classical Orchestra Finale Concert - Reformation
Tuesday, June 4 2013, 8pm
Alice Tully Hall, Lincoln Center

Two Metropolitan Opera stars will grace the stage to conclude the ACO's season. Layla Claire, one of the most sought after young singers in today’s opera world, will give her Alice Tully Hall debut. Layla arrives in the afterglow of her February 2011 performances as Marenka in Smetana’s The Bartered Bride at the Metropolitan Opera under the baton of James Levine. Canadian tenor Benjamin Butterfield is a favorite among both early music and contemporary music audiences. His elegant tenor voice takes center stage in Mozart’s commanding aria ‘Misero…O sogno.' But our season finale may hold the best for last, as we perform the Reformation Symphony. Mendelssohn’s scoring of the hymn ‘Ein feste Burg’ is thrilling, edge-of-your-seat music.

$75 Prime, $50 Standard Tier 1, $35 Standard Tier 2, $15 Student

Philippe Beziat’s,
BECOMING TRAVIATA
Wednesday, May 15 - May 29
(Daily Showtimes: 1:15p, 3:45p, 7:00p, 9:30p)
FILM FORUM

The reinvention of Verdi’s masterpiece, La Traviata, as sung by world-famous French coloratura soprano Natalie Dessay, is the subject of Philippe Béziat’s thrilling new movie. A modern, minimalist, post-punk approach strips away the opulence and grandiosity associated with operatic productions. Concentrating on director Jean-François Sivadier’s working relationship with Dessay, the film reveals how two great creative minds build the story of a doomed love affair. The stars rehearse in what look like yoga outfits, on a bare stage, with minimal props. The final production, set against a backdrop of sky and clouds, punctuated by a single chandelier, features Violetta and Alfredo (a darkly gorgeous Charles Castronovo) as the very essence of hipster-chic. Their passion, however, is for the ages. With music performed by the London Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Louis Langrée. -- Karen Cooper
