Chautauqua 2012Weekly ThemesWide Range Of Discussion TopicsWEEK ONE — JUNE 24–30Roger Rosenblatt and Friends on the Literary ArtsIn what has become one of Chautauqua’s favorite recurringweeks, the literary arts take center stage at theAmphitheater for a week of conversations between distinguishedauthor Roger Rosenblatt and five of his friends.Interviews will showcase accomplished writers discussingthe process of writing, with all the gravitas, banter and storytellingwe’ve come to expect.WEEK TWO — JULY 1–7The Lehrer Report: What InformedVoters Need to KnowRetired “PBS NewsHour” anchor Jim Lehrer, moderatorof presidential debates for more than two decades, will leadthis week in which policymakers, analysts, and governmentleaders will discuss the issues Americans will be consideringas we elect a president, our entire House of Representativesand a third of the Senate. In a week of Fourth of July celebration,we ask what is the national climate on health care,jobs, taxation and our nation’s financial stability? We willhear from a variety of perspectives in a mix of lecture andconversation, facilitated by one of the most respected newsmenof our time.WEEK THREE— JULY 8–14Inspire. Commit. Act.Each summer, Chautauqua becomes a forum for big ideasand conversation, inspiring audience members to committhose ideas to action when they return to their home communities.This week will examine that process on a larger scale.What stimulates people, and moves them from ideas toaction? What defines accomplishment? We’ll hear fromscholars who study motivation and inspiration to those whoinvest to enable ideas, and from people who have madeamazing things happen. How do they do it? How can we?WEEK FOUR — JULY 15–21Water Matters (In Partnership WithNational geographic Society)Water’s importance to life on Earth cannot be overstated:without it, there is none. We are drawn to water also for itssimple beauty — the red rays of a setting sun over the sea,snowfall in the glow of streetlights, a river cascading downthe face of a cliff, morning fog on Chautauqua Lake. However,much of humanity knows not to take water for granted.This week, join National Geographic at Chautauqua toexplore our world of water, locally and globally, from availability,conservation and health concerns to consideration ofall living matter, with whom we share this essential, apparentlylimitless yet ultimately limited resource.WEEK FIVE — JULY 22–28Pakistan: Straddling the Boundary BetweenAsia and the Middle EastThe Islamic Republic of Pakistan, with the world’s second-largestMuslim population, occupies a strategic geopoliticalposition between, and very much part of, Asia and theMiddle East. Relatively young but a nuclear power, Pakistan’sshort history is defined by political instability andtumultuous relationships with neighboring Afghanistan and,especially, India. This week, expert lecturers will discussPakistan’s short history, its development into a semi-industrialnation and explain the constant struggle of defining itselfas a nation created for Muslims that isn’t a religious state.WEEK SIX — JULY 29–AUG. 4Digital IdentitySEE PAGE 15PAGE 11

Chautauqua 2012Chautauqua DialoguesReligion Department Launches DialoguesTell most people these days that you want to have a friendlyconversation about your differing political or religious views,and they are likely to head for the nearest exit.And yet the Department of Religion is launching ChautauquaDialogues, a new program designed to do exactly that.“The term ‘civil discourse’ often seems an oxymoron, butwhat could be closer to the heart of Chautauqua’s message tothe world?” said Joan Brown Campbell, director of theDepartment of Religion, in announcing the program.Chautauqua Dialogues is devoted to the premise that peopleof widely differing backgrounds and opinions can communicatein open, kind and compassionate ways, and that truly civildiscourse can bridge differences with love and understanding.At 3:30 p.m. every Friday afternoon, a number of smallgroups will convene to discuss the week’s Interfaith LectureSeries. Chautauqua Dialogues will be carefully facilitated toensure that all have an equal chance to express themselves,without interruption, and with the assurance that the dialogueremains respectful, confidential and on topic.A group of volunteer facilitators have been working as acommittee to develop the program and will continue thatprocess throughout the summer.Along with all the give and take about the week’s theme,there will be an important ongoing meta-conversation. Participantswill examine how we talk to one another, how we listen,how loving and compassionate we may or may not be.“Our intention is for participants to experience dialogue asan important tool for building compassion, understanding, andcommunity” said Subagh Winkelstern, who along with hiswife, Subagha, will help facilitate.Conversations will take place at several locations on thegrounds, and one can sign up at the 2 p.m. lectures to participate.Facilitator Roger Doebke will coordinate the signupprocess.LANDSCAPE,INC.3603 Edison Ave., Erie, PA 16510814.899.1880 • 814.899.1857 FAXPAGE 51

Chautauqua 2012Opera At ChautauquaA Message From The DirectorBY JAY LESENGERGeneral/Artistic Director, Chautauqua OperaI’m often asked, “Why did you pick opera for a career? Whydo you love opera so much? Are you crazy?”To the first question, I answer: “I didn’t pick opera. Operapicked me!” I’ve been listening and attending opera since as farback as I can remember. For the second question, I answer:“There is just nothing like opera.” The emotional, musical anddramatic commitment is large scale involving massive and complexforces. Do you have any idea how much fun it is to be surroundedby that all day?As for the third question: “Yes, I admit it. I’m crazy foropera.” We are the last form of vocal performance that is completelyacoustic, that is naturally produced and not amplified.Seeing opera in a movie theater or on television is a wonderfulway to get close to the action, but there is simply nothing likehearing opera live, especially in Chautauqua’s historicAmphitheater and Norton Hall. The vocal sounds that fill thosevenues are produced by the singer alone, with no outside help. Itis truly visceral and uniquely exciting.Speaking of the madness of opera, our two heroines this summerare driven to distraction.Lucia di LammermoorLucia di Lammermoor finds herself torn between the man sheloves and her brother’s political ambitions. The results are violentand devastating, accompanied by some of the most passionateand vocally demanding music ever written by GaetanoDonizetti and including opera’s greatest “mad scene.”Our Lucia is the glamorous Australian soprano RachelleDurkin. Rachelle makes her Chautauqua Opera debut afterappearing this season in the Metropolitan Opera production andHD broadcast of Philip Glass’ Satyagraha. In 2011, at the lastminute, she took over the role of Norina for Anna Netrebko inthe Met’s national broadcast of Don Pasquale.Last summer, tenor Gregory Carroll (Edgardo) thrilled Chautauquaaudiences as Rodolfo in Verdi’s Luisa Miller. This pastwinter, he covered Placido Domingo in the Met’s elaborateEnchanted Island. He comes to us having just sung Radames inAida at both the Lyric Opera of Chicago and The NorwegianOpera.Baritone Todd Thomas (Enrico) is a Chautauqua opera successstory. Todd began his career as a Young Artist with thecompany and since then has sung many roles with ChautauquaOpera as well as with companies all over the United States,including the Metropolitan Opera, Seattle Opera and the LyricOpera of Chicago. Last summer, as the father of Luisa Miller,Todd shook the rafters of the Amphitheater.Bass-baritone Richard Bernstein (Raimondo) returns to ChautauquaOpera after his riveting performance of Olin Blitch inCarlyle Floyd’s Susannah and his terrifying Frank Maurrant inKurt Weill’s Street Scene. He has sung over 250 performancesin his 16 years at the Metropolitan Opera and performs regularlyat Seattle Opera, Los Angeles Opera and the Washington NationalOpera among others.Joseph Colaneri returns to lead the musical forces of Luica diLammermoor after conducting 10 previous Chautauqua Operaproductions. Maestro Colaneri has appeared regularly on thepodiums of Metropolitan Opera and New York City Opera withsuch notables as Renee Fleming, Bryn Terfel, Natalie Dessayand Juan Diego Florez. He has just been appointed artistic directorof the West Australian Opera in Perth.Manon LescautManon Lescaut is torn between her selfish desire for richesand her passion for the poor young man she adores. She too isdriven mad by her conflict. But what gorgeous music Pucciniwrote to accompany her downfall. Manon Lescaut immediatelypreceded La Boheme and is the opera that made Puccini famous.Our Manon is the beautiful soprano Barbara Shirvis makingher debut at Chautauqua in this challenging title role. Barbara hassung throughout North America, including New York CityOpera, Utah Opera and Edmonton Opera. Her many rolesinclude other Puccini heroines: Madama Butterfly, Tosca andLiu in Turandot.I am very happy to have Barbara join us this summer in thisspectacular opera singing the title role for the first time.Robert Breault (Des Grieux) has been a featured favorite atChautauqua many times, singing the tenor leading roles inWerther, La Boheme, Tosca, Stiffelio, La Traviata, La Rondineand our last production of Luica di Lammermoor. In addition, hehas sung at the New York City Opera, Portland Opera, UtahOpera among others and is in constant demand for concerts withorchestras all over the United States.Baritone Michael Chioldi (Lescaut) is another ChautauquaOpera favorite. Recent productions with us include CavalleriaRusticana/ Pagliacci, The Elixir of Love and The Marriage ofFigaro. He sings regularly with New York City Opera, Ft. WorthOpera, Washington National Opera, Hawaii Opera, the SaitoKinen Festival in Japan and the Opera National de Bordeaux.Kevin Glavin (Geronte) is one of the leading comic characterbasses in the opera world, and we are very happy to welcomehim to Chautauqua Opera for the first time. Kevin regularly singsin the leading opera houses of the world, including the MetropolitanOpera, The Spoleto Festival, Glimmerglass Opera, WashingtonNational Opera and L’Opera de Montreal. He is well knownfor the buffo roles in the Rossini and Mozart comedies.We welcome James Meena back to conduct Manon Lescaut.Maestro Meena has led our recent productions of Sister Angelica/GianniSchicchi and La Traviata and a number of ChautauquaOpera Young Artist concerts. As general director and principalconductor of Opera Carolina, Meena has made his mark withsuch productions as Nabucco, Turandot, Il Trovatore and theAmerican operas Cold Sassy Tree and Margaret Garner starringDenise Graves.PAGE 57
