A dark and beautiful Macbeth soars OPERA REVIEW
G
iuseppe Verdi had the brilliant idea (in 1846) of taking William Shakespeare’s 1606 play “Macbeth” and setting it to music. And this past Friday that brilliant idea was brought to a very full life on the Town Hall Theater stage by the Opera Company of Middlebury.
BY NANCY MAXWELL
Tackling “Macbeth” is not for the faint of heart, but clearly Douglas Anderson and Maestro SEE MACBETH ON PAGE 10 INDEPENDENT PHOTO/TRENT CAMPBELL

TJ Cunningham ON EXHIBIT AT EDGEWATER GALLERY, MIDDLEBURY Growing up in Addison, TJ Cunningham always had an appreciation for the beauty of Vermont. He developed an interest for art at an early age, and chose to pursue an undergraduate art education at Pensacola Christian College in Florida. Though he moved south to attend school, the almost-28-year-old longed for the beauty of his home state and recently returned as a full-time artist. Cunningham is the June Solo Exhibition Artist at Edgewater Gallery in Middlebury. Ranging from landscapes and still-lifes to intimate portraits, Cunningham’s paintings are created from direct observation of the world around him.
“Shallow” by TJ Cunningham, oil on gesso panel, 18”x24”, $3,000. Painted in May 2016.
“I try to approach my work more as a realist,” Cunningham explained last week. “I try not to focus on the picturesque — not that you can LIPT MX LIVI MR FIEYXMJYP :IVQSRX . XV] XS ǻRH XLI ERKPI XLEXƶW HMǺIVIRX ERH LSRIWX ƹ Cunningham’s approach to landscape painting is both established and measured. He begins by creating a series of graphite or Sharpie plein air studies. Then he returns to his home-studio in Addison (right next door to the house he grew up in), to conduct a color study, from which he begins work on the larger canvas. Regardless of composition and subject matter, his portfolio consistently presents an honest representation of light and color. While he enjoys depicting landscapes, Cunningham most intimately connects with the TSVXVE]EP SJ XLI LYQER ǻKYVI EW LI MW HVE[R XS the physicality of the human face. He gracefully tackles the challenge of portraiture, creating images that evoke a strong emotional quality. In fact, emotion is one of the characteristics he strives to best communicate in his artwork. “The thing that I want to establish when I’m painting a person is the essence of that person,” Cunningham said. “You can have a rendered likeness of a person without having the feeling... getting the emotion, that’s really the hard part. It’s the part that’s beyond what they look like — MXƶW RSX WSQIXLMRK QIEWYVEFPI SV IEWMP] HIǻRIH — you just have to kind of feel your way there.”
“Carol’s” by TJ Cunningham, oil painting, 15”x30”, $3,000.
“I SEE TREMENDOUS ORDER AND BEAUTY IN NATURE... LANDSCAPE PAINTING ON AN INDIVIDUAL LEVEL IS ENJOYING GOD.” I try to give each work as much time as I can. I paint things out, rearrange and re-texture until I can’t stand it anymore.”
Cunningham is most proud of his work that showcases his progress; with nearly 200 paintings signed in his almost six years as a professional artist, he strives to make each painting better than the one before.
Cunningham’s combination of hard work and natural talent have earned him several awards and accolades including: a 2013 Award of *\GITXMSREP 2IVMX ERH E ǻJXL TPEGI E[EVH from the Portrait Society of America, and he was also was recognized in the article, “21 under 31,” published in Southwest Art Magazine, September 2014.
“The hard work is just doing it,” Cunningham acknowledged. “There’s a painting in the gallery RS[ XLEX . [SVOIH SǺ ERH SR JSV WM\ QSRXLW

FIMRK ERH HIǻRMXIP] TPE]W MRXS Q] EVX ƹ LI WEMH “I see tremendous order and beauty in nature. To believe that there is a God behind it, that there is a creator, and to enjoy his creation is a very rich experience. Landscape painting on an individual level is enjoying God.” The other thing Cunningham’s religion brings is “the faith to keep going and keep trying.” Art can be a scary full-time career, he said, especially when you have a family. June is a big month for the Cunningham family: He and his wife Julie [MPP GIPIFVEXI XLIMV ǻZI ]IEV ERRMZIVWEV] XLIMV son Richard just turned 2, and Cunningham has a busy professional line-up at Edgewater Gallery. This Saturday, June 11 from 11 a.m.-2 p.m., Cunningham will present a painting demonstration that is free and open to the public. He will also teach a sold-out Landscape Painting Workshop later in the month. For more info call 802-989-7419, email kate@ edgewatergallery-vt.com or visit edgewatergallery-vt.com.

An evening with Ray LaMontagne BEN AND JERRY’S CONCERTS ON SHELBURNE GREEN SHELBURNE — Ray LaMontagne released his sixth album last month. Hear some of the new tracks from Ouroboros — named after an ancient symbol depicting a serpent eating its own tail — at WEDNESDAY JUNE the Ben and Jerry’s Concerts Green at Shelburne Museum on the Green at Shelburne Museum on Wednesday June 15 at 7 p.m. Tickets are $49 in advance and $53 day of. Doors open at 6 p.m. but you might want to build in some extra time for parking.

Prior to teaming up with Jim James (of the rock band My Morning Jacket) for Ouroboros, LaMontagne joined forces with Dan Auerbach of the Black Keys to produce Supernova. What the two albums have in common is a radical expansion of the standard singer/songwriter’s palate to encompass Floydian dreamscapes and WYTIVGLEVKIH FYVWXW SJ IPIGXVMG KYMXEV Ć´ FYX FI]SRH XLIWI TEVEPPIPW 4YVSFSVSW MW E ZIV] HMÇşIVIRX ERMQEP JVSQ its predecessor. “Supernova was childlike and mischievous, like watching kids play,â€? LaMontagne reported in a recent press
release. “This record feels deeper and closer — but it took me a while to translate it. The thing is, it’s not up to me. I let the songs dictate when they want to exist; I don’t force it. When it comes, it’s like Peter Pan knocking on the window.â€? LaMontagne plays the electric guitar leads while Jim James plays rhythm and provides harmony vocals. 8LI]ĆśVI NSMRIH F] )ER )SVÇş SR OI]W ERH ZMFIW 0IZMR Ratterman on Moog and Dave Givan on drums, all James regulars, as well as multi-instrumentalist Seth Kaufman, the lone carryover from the Supernova sessions, on bass and slide.

From the moment the aforementioned ever dashing and gifted Maestro steps into the light and cues his musicians that music never stops — intense, playful, eerie, dramatic, beautiful — it is a great score masterfully rendered.

It is said that “casting is everything” and in the case of “Macbeth,” the two principals are often cast as, say, “Trophy Wife and Fat, Old, Impotent Husband” or “Shrewish Wife from Hell with Milquetoast Spouse” or sometimes just as two very young or very old characters using sex or fear of their mortality to achieve their goals. Joshua Jeremiah and Rochelle Bard are none of that. Rather, they seem like a nice young couple who stumble upon a seemingly golden opportunity to suddenly and easily advance all their latent and not so latent ambitions. And neither can resist. Their “conversations” often take place on a marvelous bed, front and center, solidifying our perception of them as partners in crime, each helping the other down the slippery slope of decency.

With Susan’s arrival, writer/director Stillman introduces us to the eccentric family that generates the humor that is the bedrock of the story. The men, of course, wilt in the presence of Susan’s beauty and wit. The women are suspicious — except for one who knows one when she sees one and teams with Susan to manipulate the others.

nyone who knows opera, or theater in general, is amazed that the Opera Company of Middlebury can put on such elaborate programs with a 20-piece orchestra and a cast of 26 — as is the case with Verdi‘s “Macbeth.” To assemble such a large cast and put them up for the three-week duration is RS WQEPP ǻRERGMEP JIEX JSV ER] GSQTER] OCM has managed by recruiting host families, who invite the cast (and occasionally an orchestra member), into their homes. While that is no small commitment, says production manager and overseer of the host program Mary 1SRKI] MXƶW E FIRIǻX XLEX KSIW FSXL ways. “It is such a really great program,” Longey said in a recent break in her jammed-packed day. “Staying with a host family makes the singers feel at home in our community in a way that couldn’t be done otherwise. And while we only ask the hosts to provide a bedroom and kitchen for them to cook, almost all of our hosts are gracious and go way beyond what we ask. The host program started with the early productions a dozen years ago with much smaller casts. This year, with one of its largest casts ever, the company

reached out to 15 host families to put up about two dozencast members, including many from the Young Artists Program. A family will typically host one to three singers. “It’s a way for some people in the community to get involved in the opera company and contribute, even if they don’t have the money to give in another way, and it’s also not like it’s forever,” Longey said. “Circumstances change and if it doesn’t work out the RI\X ]IEV SV X[S SV IZIV XLEXƶW ǻRI ƹ Longey said. “We’re just so grateful to the community for opening their homes to us and we hope they get a lot in return.” Ƹ.XƶW WS GSSP XS WII EPP XLI HMǺIVIRX things that happen,” she added. “Many become close Facebook friends, go to see their shows in other locations, even attend their weddings. Just a few years ago, one of our cast members returned to Vermont to sing at his host’s wedding. He wanted to do it as a wedding gift to his hosts.
