| 8pm Opera House Copenhagen Denmark Details: Web site | Rossini: The Barber of Seville The Golden Age of the silent movie in the 1910s and 1920s is the main source of inspiration for prizewinning theatre director Martin Lyngbo's debut as opera director. True to the feel of the silent movies, this production promises speed and chaos as the young count tries to capture the heart of his beloved Rosina and spirit her away from her over-ambitious guardian, Don Bartolo. In Martin Lyngbo's interpretation, Il barbiere di Siviglia becomes a tale of empathy and humanity in an age of tyranny, where everyone has their own agenda. There will be chaos and love, vengeance and celebration, pride and shame, feast and failure accompanied by laughter, smiles, anger and irritation. |

| 7.30pm Austrian Cultural Forum New York 11 E 52nd St New York NY 10022 United States of America Details: Web site +1 212 319 5300 Free (reservations required) | ACFNY Double Bill: Aki Onda and Demi Broxa Aki Onda, composer/performer/visual artist/curator Demi Broxa: Jakob Schneidewind, bass/electronics Agnes Hvizdalek, vocals Aki Onda: Cassette Memories (Morocco 1988 and 2010) Demi Broxa: Vocals, Electronics, and Bass Demi Broxa (Jakob Schneidewind, bass/electronics and Agnes Hvizdalek, vocals) from Vienna combines electronic soundscapes with pure vocal sounds, and minimalistic musical structures with organic improvisations. Using only voice, bass and electronics they create fascinating abstract songs that are both direct and complex. Operating between the poles of electronic and acoustic, they create hypnotic club music combined with bizarre sound events. Particularly known for his "Cassette Memories" -- works compiled from a "sound diary" of field-recordings collected by using the cassette Walkman over the span of the last quarter-century, Aki Onda creates compositions, performances, and visual artwork from those sound memories. For this performance, Onda plays cassette tapes he recorded during his travels to Morocco in 1988 and 2010. Onda often performs in interdisciplinary fields and has collaborated with filmmakers, visual artists, and choreographers, including Ken Jacobs, Michael Snow, Raha Raissnia, Akio Suzuki, and Takao Kawaguchi. His work has been presented by numerous institutions such as MoMA, The Kitchen, documenta 14, Pompidou Center, Louvre Museum, Palais de Tokyo, Bozar, and many others. |

The composer wrote the cantata in 1936 amid fears that a new global conflict was looming. It takes the form of six movements, with the poetry of Walt Whitman - as well as passages from both the Mass and the Bible - providing the text. The phrase Dona nobis pacem ('Give us peace') punctuates the entire work. Soloists Augusta Hebbert (soprano) and Michael Hickman (baritone) will appear alongside actor Brendan Charleson, in an evening of choral music and readings to mark the 100th anniversary of the Armistice in 1918. By coincidence, the same year saw the death of C Hubert Parry, whose visionary work My Soul, There Is A Country, from the Songs of Farewell cycle, will feature in the programme. Also included in the concert is the work of one of England's most popular early-20th-century composers, George Butterworth, whose short life was curtailed by a sniper's bullet on the Somme in 1916. His rhapsodic setting of A E Housman's exquisite collection of verses A Shropshire Lad will be performed by Michael Hickman, accompanied by Andrew Tait on piano. With a sprinkling of popular songs from the era, alongside heartrending dispatches from the trenches, Dona nobis pacem promises to be a poignant and fitting tribute to all those who made the ultimate sacrifice in the Great War. CML, under the expert direction of conductor Greg Morris, is one of the capital's leading chamber choirs. After its performance of Monteverdi's Vespers in 2017, the ensemble was described by music critic Roger Scruton as having 'set a benchmark' for the work. |
