Only after a complicated interplay with a socialite and her daughter does Kovalyov reawaken with his nose back in place Petersburg Shostakovich wrote the work in 1927, and the symbolism is extreme The Nose reappears vastly enlarged as a state councilor, complete with cape and hat with red plume, and strolls through St 'The Nose' Opera Sticks Out at Bard Aug 1, 5:48 PM EST "The Nose" sticks out in the operatic repertoire, an absurdist work by Shostakovich with a twisted plot and difficult score that is rarely performed There are brights backdrops of deep yellow, peach, aqua and moonlight â€â€?â€â€?â€â€? On the Net: http://summerscape Kovalyov, embarrassed at his lack of a nose, unsuccessfully tries to see the police chief to discuss the matter and is turned away when he goes to the local paper to place an ad â€â€? a clerk humorously offers him some snuff The central character of Kovalyov was strongly sung and acted by baritone Igor Tarassov, but Bornstein was pinched at the top of his voice bard Zambello's direction hints strongly that The Nose is a phallic symbol â€â€? when people in the town see it and approach it with oversized hankies, it often pokes at them Shostakovich's score pulsates with extended drum rolls, peasant songs and ballads, and conductor Leon Botstein and the American Symphony Orchestra brought out the many colors After a crowd stops The Nose from leaving town, the police give it back â€â€? now restored to its normal size â€â€? to Kovalyov, who can't figure out how to reattach it With spare sets by architect Rafael Vinoly that were largely angular backdrops, dramatic colorful lighting by Mark McCullough, handsome 19th century costumes by Georgi Alexi-Meskhishvili and a 3-foot proboscis attached to tenor Leonid Bornstein in the manner of Falstaff's belly, the production was attractive, fast-paced and engaging The barber finds it in a breakfast roll and tosses it into the Neva River The convoluted story opens when Major Kovalyov goes to his uncouth barber, Ivan Yakovlevich, then wakes up in the morning and finds his nose is missing Other roles were notable more for the acting than the singing â€â€? Andrei Antonov as Ivan, Stanislav Shvets and the Newspaper Clerk and the Doctor, and Makvala Kasrashvili as the socialite Madame Podtotschina Yet, some of the audience did not return after intermission, not interested to find out how it all cleared up edu There are only two more performances, on Friday and Saturday nights To bring it out, the production team created striking images of a simple bridge created with triangular figures, harem girls dressed in white with large white feathers, townsfolk gathered with raised umbrellas and a newspaper office with Lucite desks Francesca Zambello's striking new production, which opened Friday night at Bard's second SummerScape festival, makes a case for the opera, both an account of the struggle against bureaucracy and a metaphor for impotence This "Nose" isn't â€â€? here comes the obligatory pun â€â€? running for long It's a great American myth that is almost wrapped in a flag and being handed to me, and I better not drop it '" Raimi grew up near Detroit and attended Michigan State University but dropped out to make movies, collaborating with Tapert and older brother Ivan Raimi Raimi went into "Spider-Man 2" knowing if its receipts did not live up to the first one, it might be considered a failure With that $400 million success behind him, it's hard now to imagine a "Spider-Man" movie without him ' So to survive, I had to convince myself that box-office success is not how I'm ever going to gauge my own success Because there was something trustworthy," said Avi Arad, head of Marvel Studios and a producer on "Spider-Man 2 When Raimi was picked by Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios to tell the story of "Spider-Man," he was a daring choice for Hollywood, where the really big jobs usually go to filmmakers whose movies have put wads of cash in studio vaults " Other filmmakers worshipped Raimi, whose frantic camera movements on "The Evil Dead" have influenced two decades of action pictures I need you to take a look at it and tell me what you think He tried to put the bottom line out of his mind "I look at `Spider-Man' as a great American myth And I do feel that I have a responsibility to protect it," Raimi, 44, told The Associated Press Or he'll say, `This scene's coming up and I think we need to make it better, we need to do something about it The top-grossing movie of 2002, "Spider-Man" shattered box-office records for best opening weekend ever with $114 Raimi was as surprised as anyone when he got the "Spider-Man" gig over bigger-name directors "I can always say whatever I want," said Tobey Maguire, who returns as Spider-Man "Evil Dead" star Bruce Campbell also pops up in the "Spider-Man" movies and was a recurring performer on "Xena" and "Hercules " "Spider-Man 2" tests Peter Parker's commitment to the superhero profession I had to say the artistic success of the movie, how much the audience liked it, that's all that I care about, that's all that I'm going to judge my success by And Peter continues to pine for his dream girl, Mary Jane Watson (Kirsten Dunst), who's about to marry another man Respect and modest box-office success came Raimi's way for 1998's "A Simple Plan," starring Billy Bob Thornton, Bridget Fonda and Bill Paxton, and 2000's "The Gift," with Cate Blanchett and Keanu Reeves 'Spider' Films Help Raimi Shed Cult Status Jun 23, 2:26 PM EST With great power comes great responsibility, both for Spider-Man and the dapper director who orchestrates the superhero's big-screen adventures When Raimi interviewed for the first "Spider-Man," "he left the room with no idea that he got the gig, but we knew it "I spent 22 years making movies in Hollywood before I had a chance to make a hit like `Spider-Man "With great power comes great responsibility is the theme of Stan Lee's comic book, and it is what I've tried to push through with these pictures His Aunt May (Rosemary Harris) faces foreclosure on her house He helped launch the career of the Coen brothers (Joel Coen was an assistant editor on "The Evil Dead"), and Raimi had a bit part in the Coens' "Miller's Crossing" and co-wrote "The Hudsucker Proxy" with them 8 million ' I better retell it with as much honor and greatness as I can muster from my voice to do it justice before I hand it to the next storyteller "I know they need it to make money, but I don't have a secret equation for that " "His love for `Spider-Man' was such that we felt we could hand him the baby and he could be incredibly responsible with it "I could say, `You know, we're doing this scene in a week, and I'm looking at it and kind of having problems with it and here's what I think " So "Spider-Man" has left him a bit flummoxed "I just said, `I'm going to make the best picture I can,'" Raimi said Peter's working two jobs, falling behind in college and perpetually exhausted swinging from building to building to catch bad guys I better not sully it The filmmaker maintains many early ties Peter's best pal, Harry Osborn (James Franco), is obsessed with revenge on Spider-Man, whom he blames for the death of his father, Willem Dafoe's Green Goblin, in the first movie Sam Raimi, the filmmaker behind 2002's blockbuster "Spider-Man" and the upcoming sequel "Spider-Man 2," compares adapting Stan Lee's Marvel Comics hero to being one of the oral storytellers of ancient times, entrusted with passing on the legends of Hercules or Achilles " Raimi had never had a major hit I'm just going to put in what I love, and hopefully, because I'm a human being, other people will love it, too His younger brother, Ted Raimi, played the bumbling Joxer on "Xena" and "Hercules" and has small parts in many of the director's movies, including both "Spider-Man" flicks " For his cast, Raimi is a classy, open-minded leader, dressing nattily on the set in suit and tie and seeking out actors' input But Raimi's big-budget movies â€â€? Sharon Stone's Western "The Quick and the Dead" and Kevin Costner's baseball flick "For Love of the Game" â€â€? were duds His big financial successes had come from television with "Hercules: The Legendary Journeys" and "Xena: Warrior Princess," which he and college chum and producing partner Robert Tapert brought to the small screen Much like Peter Parker was transformed from gangly teen into the web-slinging crime-fighter, Sam Raimi was catapulted from cult-filmmaker status to master of one of Hollywood's largest franchises He had a zealous following among horror fans for his 1983 cult classic "The Evil Dead" and its two follow-ups, "Evil Dead II" and "Army of Darkness," along with 1990's "Darkman " By necessity, Raimi never relied on commercial success for validation as a filmmaker |
