Clasart Classic Pre-sents ...
Maria Stuarda Starring Joyce DiDonato
Clasart Classic presents one of the highlights of the current Met-sea-son: The first-ever Met production of Donizetti’s intensely dramatic historical opera Maria Stuarda which premiered on New Year’s Eve 2013. In this production, mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato, who gave an “ex-quisitely proportioned, remarkably sensitive performance” (Financial Times), takes on the virtuosic bel canto role of the doomed Mary, Queen of Scots. South African so-prano Elza van den Heever makes her Met debut as Mary’s rival, the formidable Queen Elizabeth I, and Matthew Polenzani sings Leicester, the nobleman caught between the two dueling monarchs. Maurizio Benini conducts. After last sea-son’s staging of Donizetti’s Tudor drama Anna Bolena, Director Da-vid McVicar turns to the second opera of Donizetti’s trilogy. His production takes a traditional ap-proach, but with some vivid co-lours and stark imagery to lend a contemporary touch to enormous period gowns and appropriate props. The simplicity of the set focuses attention on Donizetti's multifaceted characters. It is the contagious energy between the duelling divas that brings real drama to the stage, culminating in the confrontation scene as Elisa-beth and Mary hurl fiery insults at one another.
Next to Maria Stuarda, hailed by The New York Times as “musically splendid and intensely dramatic

COL LEGNOAlpi and Stubenmu-sic
The “Stube” is the parlor in a farmhouse, usually panelled in wood, where people go to rest, to celebrate, to mourn, and to make music. Alexandra Dienz, Christof Dienz, Barbara Romen, and Gun-ter Schneider guide us into a fri-endly and sophisticated version of this multi-purpose meeting place.The first CD comprises song-like pieces in various interpretations,
while on the second CD the focus is skillfully shifted from structures to sounds. The musicians delve deep into the nature of their in-struments, exploring their poten-tial as sound-generating bodies, leading us from seemingly familiar models to free musical moods. Deep-reaching roots are carefully unearthed, grafted, and propaga-ted with great intelligence and de-votion, and the result is pure de-light. More info here.
The movie „Alpi“ by Armin Linke wasn’t made in context with the music of Quadrat:sch, but can be a logical combination. That’s why a movie still found its way into the booklet of the CD.W a t c h a t r a i l e r a t : http://www.arminlinke.com/alpi/For further information, please c o n t a c t M i k e B r e n e i s : [email protected]

Dance Films Association, with the generous support of The Rockefel-ler Foundation New York City Cul-tural Innovation Fund, is proud to announce the production of CUNNINGHAM, a poetic feature film based on choreographic works of American modern dance icon Merce Cunningham, created between 1944 and 1972 – a period of formative risk and discovery. In Merce Cunningham’s terms, the film is an "event," conceived as cinema and orchestrated using 3D technology. No American contem-porary dance choreographer has ever been the subject of a feature film of such scope and technologi-cal innovation…The CUNNINGHAM creative team includes award-winning director Alla Kovgan; Robert Swinston, who worked at Merce Cunning-ham’s side for thirty-one years and who directed the Merce Cunning-ham Dance Company's final world tour, as director of choreography; Jennifer Goggans, who danced with MCDC for twelve years and served as Robert Swinston’s assis-tant; and the OpenEnded Group, Merce Cunningham’s collabora-tors on the digital décor for the dance BIPED, who will design gra-phic elements and visual effects for the film.
