What if ‘happily ever after’ isn’t so happy after all?

In the Tony Award-winning musical Into the Woods, famous storybook characters come to life on stage.

Set to an iconic Stephen Sondheim score, a childless baker and his wife venture into a forest to reverse an evil witch’s spell that prevents them from becoming parents.

Along the way, they run into Cinderella, Little Red Ridinghood, Jack (of beanstalk fame) and other fairy tale characters who are also pursuing their hearts’ greatest desires. And, of course, everyone gets their happily ever after—at the end of the first act, at least.

In the second act, the musical explores the consequences of 06

SPOTLIGHT

a romanticized “ever after” and the complicated truth behind getting exactly what you wish for. Balancing bawdy humor with poignant sincerity, the plot touches everything from infidelity to neglectful parenting to the early stages of grief. You’ll laugh; you’ll cry; you’ll want to call your mom and tell her you love her. (Trust us on this last point!)

To be clear, Into the Woods is a better match for date night than family night. (In fact, Music Theatre International gives it a PG-13 rating.) But if you have loaded your Netflix queue with episodes of Once Upon a Time and Grimm, or

if you enjoy dark, funny takes on childhood classics—I’m looking at you, Chilling Adventures of Sabrina fans—or if you’re simply a huge fan of Sondheim, this production from the CU Department of Theatre & Dance is an absolute must-see.

Into the Woods runs Feb. 22-March 3 in the University Theatre. Tickets start at $24.

Travel through

with Tafelmusik’s ‘Tales of Two Cities’ Leipzig, Germany. Damascus, Syria. Two urban hubs, worlds apart in terms of their culture— architecture, cuisine, musical influences. Or so you’d think.

According to Alison Mackay, double bassist for Tafelmusik, these cities have historic connections that might surprise most audiences. Leipzig, for example, was a key study center for Arabic and Syrian culture during the baroque era.

12

SPOTLIGHT

“I'm always interested in turning a new lens on Bach’s repertoire or seeing it in the context of what else was happening in the world at the time baroque music was being played, just to put in a richer historical—and perhaps more global—context.

Mackay is the creator of Tafelmusik’s March 4 Boulder program Tales of Two Cities: The Leipzig-Damascus Coffee House.

It’s a piece she developed over the course of several years, regularly traveling from Toronto to Leipzig to uncover new pieces of knowledge.

“And, well, sometimes one thing leads to another,” she says with a smile in her voice.

Her research was extensive. In addition to countless hours spent in libraries, Mackay was in touch with experts all over the world for inspiration. An art historian

weighed in on the architecture of coffee houses during the baroque era. It had a direct impact. Tales of Two Cities has a theatrical set inspired by an actual room from 18th century Damascus the historian restored for a state museum in Dresden, Germany.

When Mackay conceives a program like this one, everything works hand in hand to tell the story, authentically tying the music to a greater narrative. The end result, as Boulder audiences will see, is a striking performance that has been hailed as a “phenomenon that was unexpected and powerful,” (The Globe and Mail) and a “flawless affair, musically as well as

aesthetically” (Musical Toronto).

It’s wholly different from a typical baroque concert—because it’s something more. In addition to the set, the performance will feature projections with images and film, as well as scripted text. A narrator acts as a tour guide throughout the program. The members of Tafelmusik will perform the piece from memory to allow for more movement and staging. They’ll play on original instruments from the baroque period.

“What we're trying to do is recreate the feeling of being an audience member in a coffee house in 18th century Germany and in 18th century Syria.”

The effect is a night that is sometimes concert, sometimes history lesson, sometimes adventure. It’s a musical feat that is sure to be a treat for the eyes as well as the ears.

See Tafelmusik in Macky Auditorium on March 4.

Tickets start at $15.

Program notes

by Alison Mackay

Tales of Two Cities: The Leipzig-Damascus Coffee House is a celebration in music, words and images of 18th-century culture in two fascinating cities. Though separated by more than 1,800 miles, Leipzig and Damascus had a number of characteristics in common. Both lay at the crossroads of ancient commercial routes and became important centers for international trade fairs.

Leipzig lay at the intersection of the Via Regia (the east-west route from Santiago de Compostela to Kiev and Moscow) and the Via Imperii (the north-south route from Rome and Venice to the Baltic Sea). Merchants from many countries converged on the city three times a year, bringing furs, wines, textiles and books to be sold at trade fairs that were among the most famous in Europe.

Damascus lay at the intersection of the Via Maris, which linked the Mediterranean Sea with Syria, Iraq, Iran and the Far East, and the north-south route from Turkey to Yemen and the Arabian Sea. Important trade fairs were established for the sale of silks, jewels and coffee from the Levant and the Far East.

Leipzig and Damascus were also both famous centers of scholarship and learning. Leipzig was a vital center for book publishing and the dissemination of ideas. Its university was one of the oldest in Europe, attracting students and scholars of theology, philosophy and law from all over Germany.

The ancient city of Damascus, which had been conquered by the Ottoman Turks in 1516, was a cosmopolitan hub of intellectual activity. Scholars speaking Arabic, Persian and Greek used the services of the city’s scribes for their treatises on medicine, astronomy and philosophy.

Leipzig and Damascus had another striking feature in common: They both enjoyed a lively tradition of coffee houses in which the finest musicians of the city performed. The autobiographical writings of Georg Philipp Telemann recount how he began to direct a music club called the Collegium Musicum for the students at Leipzig University in the early years of the 18th century. In 1702, the first public streetlights were installed in the city, making it possible for respectable people to be out after dark. Coffee houses soon became destinations for refreshments, conversation and entertainment, and the student musicians began to perform at several local establishments.

In 1729, the Collegium Musicum was taken over by Johann Sebastian Bach, who directed weekly concerts for the patrons of Zimmerman’s Coffeehouse. He supplemented the ensemble of student performers with members of his family, visiting virtuosi and Stadtpfeiffers—elite performers from the town band. The repertoire by Telemann, Handel and Bach included in the concert is typical of the music performed there.

The public coffee houses of Syria were also venues for famous musicians who performed settings of strophic poems called muwashshahs, instrumental doulabs and improvised taqsims— forms of classical Arabic music that are the specialty of our guest ensemble, Trio Arabica.

Our performance includes the telling of a story about a destitute migrant, a tale told by Scheherezade in some manuscript collections of The Arabian Nights. It originates as a moral

C-4

· cupresents.org · 303-492-8008

Verses from a poem attributed to Al-Ghazali, who was highly esteemed in Damascus, decorate the exquisite room that has inspired our theatrical set piece. It is a room with exuberant Islamic designs and baroque European influences that was brought from Damascus to the Ethnological Museum in Dresden in 1899.

In its original setting, this room would have been a place for relaxation, for business and for cross-cultural encounters over coffee. The dividing lines between the ancient communities of Muslims, Jews and Christians who had been part of the fabric of Damascus for centuries were blurred, and the beautiful calligraphy around the room, which avoids overtly religious content, betrays a desire to make visitors from other traditions feel welcome in the house. In the present time, when so many Syrians are making new homes in Germany, the people of Leipzig and newcomers from Damascus are seeking similarly creative ways to accommodate and enrich each others’ cultures in their new and challenging reality.

In the process of restoring the Damascus Room in nearby Dresden, young Syrian scholars are being trained by German mentors in the restoration of the historical interiors of their homeland.

It is their and our dream that they will one day be able to practice their art and enjoy coffee and music in a peaceful Damascus.

This spring, Eklund Opera invites you to choose your own adventure For fans of classic literature, Eklund Opera’s 2018-19 season is already a megahit. Last fall, program director Leigh Holman kicked off the school year with a praised production of West Side Story, based, of course, on Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. And this spring, she will bring two more literary adaptations to the stage.

Opening March 15, the Eklund Opera Program will present Eugene Onegin, a Tchaikovsky piece based on the Pushkin novel of the same name.

22

SPOTLIGHT

Eugene Onegin tells an enduring story of unrequited love and poor timing. A young woman named Tatyana falls in love with a man, Eugene Onegin, but he doesn’t return her admiration. Life goes on, as it does. Years later, when their paths cross again, Tatyana has become wealthy, successful and more beautiful than ever. (You can guess where this is heading.)

Onegin finally reciprocates her affection. But is it too little too late?

“What does she do with that—with his waiting and not loving her when

she loved him? Now he loves her, but what should she do with that information?” Holman asks. (No spoilers here; you'll have to head to Macky for the answer.)

If you enjoyed West Side Story for its grand romance, this Russian opera is the production for you, says Holman. “If you love rich sets and costumes, this is the thing to see. It has a lush, bouncing, romantic feel, with big ballroom scenes, a huge chorus and serious star power. It’s going to a be a feast for the eyes.”

But If romance isn’t your cup of tea, perhaps a spooky story is a better match.

In April, Eklund Opera will present a much more intimate and theatrical opera in the Music Theatre: The Turn of the Screw, Benjamin Britten’s work inspired by an 1898 horror novella by Henry James.

“There’s a real difference with The Turn of the Screw. It has a dark, shadowy, fringy feel,” shares Holman.

It’s a much more intimate and theatrical experience than Onegin offers. In the haunting chamber opera, a governess believes strange spirits are attempting to possess the children in her charge.

Tensions rise (and so will the hair on the back of your neck) as this story reaches its bone-chilling conclusion.

To borrow another literary convention, the two spring operas offer an opportunity to choose your own adventure, Holman confides. Romance or horror, grand or intimate, Russian or English—there’s something for every interest here.

Our take? If the breathtaking vocals and heart-pounding action of West Side Story were any indication of Holman’s and the Eklund Opera Program’s ability to breathe new life into the classics, you won’t want to miss either one.

See Eugene Onegin March 15-17 in Macky Auditorium.

Tickets start at $15.

See The Turn of the Screw April 25-28 in the Music Theatre. Tickets start at $20.
