The Guide

Dear Member,

The Member Magazine for WTTW and WFMT Renée Crown Public Media Center 5400 North Saint Louis Avenue Chicago, Illinois 60625

Chicago is well known for its stunning architecture, coveted culinary scene, and hallowed place in music history. But perhaps one of the city’s most lasting cultural inventions is improvised theater. This month, our documentary series Chicago Stories introduces you to the native Chicagoan who started it all – a daughter of Russian-Jewish immigrants named Viola Spolin. On October 22, join us on WTTW and wttw.com/improv to discover the seminal role that this pioneering social worker-turned-theater guru played in Inventing Improv, why the art form’s original goal wasn’t comedy, and the vital role that Jane Addams’ landmark Hull House played in Chicago’s designation as birthplace of improv.

Join us for more content celebrating the arts throughout the month, including The Kennedy Center at 50, a special echoing a famous 1962 event conducted by Leonard Bernstein; on wttw.com, meet the show’s all-star cast – from Tony and Emmy Award winners to up-and-coming conductors. And speaking of decorated performing artists, don’t miss a new American Masters profile of Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony Award winner Rita Moreno, still going strong at almost 90. Also on wttw.com, go behind the scenes of Now Hear This as Great Performances dives into Beethoven’s genius.

On WFMT this month, listen for Studs Terkel’s conversations with comedy icon Lily Tomlin and Chicago improv pioneer Del Close, and don’t miss Chicago Comedy Revisited, a Best of Studs Terkel episode from 1976 featuring a collection of comic voices whose art helped shape the character of mid-century Chicago humor.

Thank you for celebrating the arts with us in October, and for your continued support.

Sincerely, Sandra Cordova Micek President & CEO

Leak: I think we need it now more than ever.

I think we’ve gotten away from the beginning roots of improv being about ensemble, being rooted in the other person’s experience, and taking your cues from a community of players. Everybody who studies improv will tell you that as soon as you start thinking, as soon as you start trying to drive the boat, you squash anything that’s going to be discovered in this back-and-forth with each other.

Introductions To mark Hispanic Heritage Month, host Robbie Ellis presents a compendium of young Chicago-area musicians playing works by Manuel Ponce (Mexico), Alberto Ginastera (Argentina), Heitor Villa-Lobos (Brazil), and more.

Russell Thomas

From Los Angeles Opera: La Clemenza di Tito While he was finishing The Magic Flute, Mozart received a request for an opera to celebrate the imminent crowning of Leopold II as King of Bohemia. In a remarkably short period of time, Mozart created La Clemenza di Tito, which duly premiered in Prague in the fall of 1791. In this 2019 production, tenor Russell Thomas took the role of Titus and Elizabeth DeShong played Sesto (Sextus). It was the first time LA Opera had ever performed this final Mozart stage work, and the first time music director James Conlon had ever conducted it.

James Conlon

From Los Angeles Opera: Billy Budd The Los Angeles Opera marked the Benjamin Britten centennial in 2014 with performances of his opera Billy Budd, with James Conlon conducting.

Baritone Liam Bonner takes the title role of Billy, a naïve sailor whose innocent and open personality arouses the hatred and enmity of his immediate superior officer, Claggart (sung by bass-baritone Greer Grimsley). The pivotal character in the opera, and in the Herman Melville novella on which it’s based, is Captain Vere, portrayed in LA by tenor Richard Croft. The three protagonists are supported by an all-male cast of officers and sailors, and a chorus that takes an important part in the action.

Saimir Pirgu

From Los Angeles Opera: La Bohème An international cast performed Puccini’s beloved opera in 2019.

American sopranos Marina CostaJohnson and Erica Petrocelli portrayed Mimi and Musetta; tenor Saimir Pirgu, portraying Rodolfo, is originally from Albania; and baritone Kihun Yoon, who sings Marcello, is Korean. The production was singled out for its colorful staging of act 2, where the Bohemians and their girlfriends are living it up at Paris’ Café Momus. The sets represent old daguerreotypes, emphasizing the element that the passing of time, and the sad changes that can bring, plays in this poignant romance.

Gaetano Donizetti

From the Maribor Opera: The Daughter of the Regiment Earlier this year, English-born conductor Simon Robinson, who’s also led the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic and the English National Opera North mounted Gaetano Donizetti’s 1840 comedy The Daughter of the Regiment at the Maribor Opera. The fame of this work comes from the major aria for its tenor hero, Tonio, who is in love with Marie; a regiment of French soldiers found her abandoned as a baby and adopted her. Her friend and guardian Sergeant Sulpice is at first uncertain about the courtship but eventually comes around; meanwhile, a certain Marquise decides to take Marie under her wing and turn her thoughts to more “ladylike” pursuits.
