LUST, REVENGE, DECEPTION AND A WEDDING. IT’S AMAZING WHAT YOU CAN PACK INTO A DAY
Mozart’s and Da Ponte’s opera The Marriage of Figaro is one of the most popular and enduring operas ever written. Composed only three years before the French Revolution, Mozart takes a play (of the same title by Beaumarchais) that had been banned on account of its implied subversion of the established order, removes much of the overtly political material, and then deftly weaves an opera in which the women drive the narrative, culminating in aristocrat and servant swapping clothes. Mozart achieves revolutionary statements on multiple levels much in keeping with Enlightenment ideas about the role of women and men in society and politics. The opera ends with a statement of compassion and forgiveness much needed at the start of this Century.
New Zealand Opera has invited director Lindy Hume to create a new production that explores feminist ideas in Mozart’s opera, part of a series that has preoccupied her artistic practice in recent years. Zoe Zeniodi will conduct the opera. Eleanor Bishop will assistant direct. It is anticipated this team will explore Figaro’s potent politics in the rehearsal room and that the opera will be a catalyst for conversation on women directors and conductors in opera.
The production will play in its original language (Italian) with English surtitles.
The opera will feature the Freemasons New Zealand Opera Chorus, along with Christchurch Symphony Orchestra.
Duration: The performance is 3 hours long with a 20-minute interval.
Surtitles: This opera is sung in Italian with English surtitles.
Composed by: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Libretto by: Lorenzo Da Ponte

Resonance Ensemble presents "A Tuba at the Jockey Club"
2021-07-04 15:00 | The Piano, 156 Armagh Street, Christchurch, 8140, New Zealand
Resonance Ensemble presents “A Tuba at the Jockey Club” on Sunday 4th July 2021 at The Piano, 156 Armagh Street, Christchurch
Thomas Allely, principal tuba of The Queensland Symphony Orchestra is traveling from Brisbane specially to play with this excellent local orchestra in the première of conductor Tony Ryan’s newly revised Tuba Concerto. The concerto was originally written for Thomas when he was still a school student in Christchurch and which he played with the NZ Secondary Schools Symphony Orchestra in Auckland.
Ryan describes the revision of his concerto as an almost complete re-write which recognises the exceptionally advanced virtuoso and musical abilities of this now widely-experienced soloist, and the talented players of the Resonance Ensemble orchestra.
The remainder of the concert is devoted to music that was influenced by the Paris Jockey Club in the nineteenth century when Paris was one of the great musical capitals of Europe, with French opera at the forefront in terms of spectacle and grandeur, especially with its inclusion of elaborate dance interludes.
The young, egocentric aristocrats of the Jockey Club insisted on the insertion of these extravaganzas and would disrupt proceedings if they didn’t get an opportunity to see their favourite ballerinas on the stage. Even Verdi and Wagner were forced to add lengthy dance spectacles to their operas for Parisian performances.
Along with guest soprano Helen Charlton, Resonance Ensemble will present an enticing programme of spectacular overtures, arias and ballet music which resulted from the demands of the Jockey Club, with music by Auber, Offenbach and Massenet.

Pricing:

$25.00 per person

In this sparkling interactive musical performance and accompanying talk, Dr Ian Chapman and his band delight in entertaining and educating audiences on the empowerment and healing potential of music and the arts. Personally inspired by David Bowie, one of the most complex and enduring performers in the history of popular music, Dr Chapman is a musician, academic, and author of a dozen books including Experiencing David Bowie: A Listener’s Companion (2015), and David Bowie FAQ (2020).
Cosmic Jive Trio brings to the stage superb acoustic arrangements of David Bowie’s finest songs, arranged especially for the show. The honest simplicity of the stripped back and largely acoustic instrumentation allows Bowie’s masterful song-writing to take centre stage.
David Bowie & the Art of Being Different is a wonderfully entertaining celebration of eccentric creativity, a testament to how the arts can empower, improve mental health, heal past traumas, and provide an essential blueprint for how to deal with bullying. Above all, this show is a triumphant affirmation of the power and potential of difference.

"The Vocal Music of Sir Arnold Bax"
2021-07-01 13:10 | Christchurch Transitional Cathedral, Latimer Square, Christchurch, 8011, New Zealand
“The Vocal Music of Sir Arnold Bax (1883-1953)”
1 July, 1:10pm
The Transitional Cathedral (234 Hereford St)
~ Entry by Koha ~
The recital features music for voice and piano by the late British composer Sir Arnold Bax, and also includes a number of well known pieces by Frank Bridge and Eric Coates.
Bax’s music is at the center of my Doctor of Musical Arts research at the University of Canterbury. This recital is the first of a number of planned public performances and lectures featuring his music.
Bax was a Theosophist, transcendentalist, a fantasist, and above all: a dreamer. He loved cricket and poetry, he hated Jazz and Bach; whose music he described as “sewing machine music”.
He loved nature and Ireland: its landscapes and mythology.
He was close friends with Sibeleus, Vaughn-Williams and Holst.
Listen to Bax speaking about his music here (1949 radio interview) : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWtmvtuGZZA&t=318s
