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.

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.
