Eric Cutler did well with Leopold's high-flying tenor line, but couldn't do much to make the character seem more than an exasperating moral weakling (The Met was preparing to stage a production for Tucker when he died in 1975 It did provide a rare chance to hear a piece of considerable musical and dramatic merit, made all the more compelling by events being played out in the world at large Conductor Marcello Viotti and the Met orchestra whipped up an appropriate frenzy for the climactic ensembles that close each act, but they also highlighted the many delicate orchestral moments in Halevy's score The production is being repeated seven more times through mid-December, including the season's first Saturday afternoon radio broadcast Dec Mahler called it one of the greatest operas ever written 13 The opera ends with a visual coup to match the music and drama â€â€? a team of executioners dressed in a riot of red hooded garments who rush out to hurl Rachel into the bubbling cauldron But with changing musical tastes and the rise of Nazi Germany, "La Juive" lost favor, and for many years after World War II its subject was considered too raw to bear treatment in a musical entertainment Halevy Opera 'La Juive' Returns to Met Nov 7, 2:29 PM EST Banished from its stage for 68 seasons as an outmoded work of a bygone era, Fromental Halevy's "La Juive" has returned to the Metropolitan Opera, as timely as fanaticism and religious hatred Props are pretty much limited to tables and chairs ) As Eleazar, Shicoff painted a chilling portrait of a proud, loving father bent on revenge against his Christian persecutors " No such reservations are needed for the other holdover from the Vienna cast There are just too many absurd plot contrivances, too few moments of genuine melodic inspiration The modern-dress production was roundly booed by a segment of the audience when the creators, led by director Guenther Kramer, took their curtain calls In one of the more improbable plot twists, Rachel turns out to be the cardinal's daughter, saved at birth from a burning house by Eleazar, who then raised her as his own As the cardinal, bass Ferruccio Furlanetto brought immense vocal authority and lung power to his Verdian phrases â€â€?â€â€?â€â€? On the Net: http://www Written in the popular style of French grand opera, its five acts stuffed with ballets, processions, and lavish sets and scenic effects, "La Juive" was wildly successful for nearly 100 years And it was the last work Enrico Caruso ever performed at the Met Finnish soprano Soile Isokoski gave a radiant account of Rachel's music, her high notes warm and full and her lower register showing surprising power Thursday night's premiere of a scaled-back production borrowed from the Vienna State Opera may not have led to the rediscovery of a neglected masterpiece Vocally, Shicoff seemed to be holding back during the evening's first half, but he drew a deserved ovation for his impassioned account of the score's most famous aria, "Rachel, quand du Seigneur The cardinal's brilliant red costume provides a sharp contrast to the black clothing of the Jews and the white fabrics worn by the other Christians org metopera It's one of the strengths of the Eugene Scribe libretto that neither Eleazar nor his chief antagonist, Cardinal Brogni, is painted as wholly sympathetic or villainous (What new production isn't booed at the Met these days?) The concept is starkly simple but generally effective, with the stage divided by a raked ramp into a dark lower section that represents the world of the Jews and a brilliantly lit upper realm where the Christians dwell It influenced both Verdi and Wagner Much of the credit for the revival must go to American tenor Neil Shicoff, a cantor's son who has crusaded for the opera, as his great predecessor Richard Tucker did a generation ago It's her love for Prince Leopold, who's not only Christian but married to boot, that precipitates the tragedy, since sex between Christians and Jews was a crime punishable by death at the time The 1835 opera (translation: "The Jewess") tells of Jewish goldsmith Eleazar, his daughter, Rachel, and their persecution and eventual execution â€â€? in a vat of boiling oil! â€â€? in 15th-century Europe Soprano Elizabeth Futral was excellent as his wife, Princess Eudoxie, especially in the great scene in which she pleads with Rachel to deny the affair in order to save Leopold's life " "In the Cut," also starring Mark Ruffalo, Kevin Bacon and Jennifer Jason Leigh, is now in limited release Meg Ryan Stars in Thriller 'In the Cut' Oct 25, 10:42 AM EST Meg Ryan, known for sweetheart roles in "Sleepless in Seattle" and "You've Got Mail," plays a writing professor who becomes involved with a police detective in Jane Campion's new erotic thriller, "In the Cut "I feel really blessed that Jane trusted me and hired me," she tells the magazine "There's the idea of me, and then there's me, and there's a gap â€â€? a huge gap," she tells Harper's Bazaar in its November issue Ryan said in the year since production wrapped, she hadn't accepted any new film roles, mainly to keep the experience of making the movie close to her " The 41-year-old actress says although she's had a great run playing adorable blondes in comedies, she isn't really like those characters It will go wider on Oct "I still think back, a year later, about what I learned from her 31 |
