‘Arabella'

Location: The Santa Fe Opera (505) 986-5955 or (800) 280-4654

Love... Lust... Mistaken Identity... and a Fateful Glass of Water.

Parents caught in a bad economy resort to deception to maintain respectability. Will their ruse spoil their daughters’ chances of happiness in love? The answer comes down to a single glass of water in Arabella, a sumptuous romantic comedy with an element of social commentary, as Richard Strauss returns to the Crosby Theatre after an absence of five years. Arabella charms with Strauss’ deft characterizations and soaring vocal lines — especially soprano voices. Erin Wall, who sang the four heroines in the 2010 Tales of Hoffmann and Daphne in 2007, sings the title role, with Heidi Stober as her sister Zdenka. Sir Andrew Davis conducts.

Synopsis
Composed by Richard Strauss

Sung in German with English and Spanish Opera Titles

Arabella is presented in association with the Canadian Opera Company.

Act IFinancially strapped but aristocratically entitled, the Waldners have raised their younger daughter, Zdenka, as a boy to cut the cost of her upbringing — at least until her beautiful older sister is married. Posing as their son “Zdenko,” the girl wards off creditors as her mother consults a fortuneteller, who predicts an advantageous marriage for Zdenka’s sister, Arabella. Once mother and older sister have withdrawn, the young officer Matteo enlists his friend “Zdenko’s” help in courting Arabella; it’s that or suicide, he insists.

As Arabella returns from a stroll and dismisses her eager escort, it’s clear she is sought by many other suitors. Three — Counts Elemer, Dominik and Lamoral — have left gifts for her. Zdenka, who secretly loves Matteo, urges her to consider him, but Arabella feels that when the right candidate appears, she’ll know. Count Elemer calls on Arabella to go sleigh riding; as she leaves to change her outfit, she alerts Zdenka to a stranger peering up from the street below. Their father, Count Waldner, returns, upset by his many creditors and continuing bad luck at cards. But no sooner has he told his wife of his latest stratagem — sending a letter and photo of Arabella to his wealthy old army buddy Mandryka — than a caller also named Mandryka is announced. Nephew of the elder, deceased Mandryka, he read the letter and fell in love with Arabella’s photograph. Now he has journeyed from his rich estates in Slavonia to the Waldners’ hotel suite in Vienna solely to lend Count Waldner money and seek his daughter’s hand in marriage.

Unaware of this bright new prospect, Arabella is despondent, wondering why no suitor seems right; perhaps the Coachman’s Ball that evening will brighten her mood. She leaves with Zdenka for their sleigh ride.

Act IIIn the anteroom outside the Coachman’s Ball, Count Waldner introduces Mandryka to the Countess and Arabella; recognizing him as the young stranger she noticed earlier, Arabella is instantly drawn to him. Mandryka feels confirmed in his earlier feelings and confides in her, describing his estates, his young wife’s death, and his country’s tradition of pledging troth with a glass of water — a symbol of purity. Arabella reciprocates his love, but asks to attend the Ball as a last celebration of youth. When she is named its queen, Mandryka is thrilled and lavishes champagne and flowers on the attendees as Arabella bids farewell to her past suitors. Amid the heightened gaiety she does not notice the desperate Matteo seeking some sign of her affection — or Zdenka, who presses a key into his hand, saying it is from Arabella and unlocks her bedroom. Inevitably, Mandryka overhears; disillusioned and angry, he abandons himself to wine-soaked recklessness until Count Waldner calms him and they return to the hotel.

Act IIIArabella returns from the Ball unaware that Matteo and has been in her bedroom, ostensibly with her. Only the absent Zdenka knows the truth. As Matteo tries to slip from the hotel unnoticed, he is baffled to find Arabella already in the lobby, cool and unresponsive; Mandryka, judging the situation as he arrives with the Waldners, urges the Count to demand satisfaction from Matteo. Finally Zdenka rushes in from upstairs. Still in her negligee, she confesses giving herself to Matteo prevent his suicide, and now, wracked by guilt, considers her own. But she is immediately forgiven by her parents and embraced by Matteo. They withdraw, leaving Arabella and Mandryka in silence. Arabella directs him to have a glass of water sent to her room, and then she, too, leaves. Knowing he doubted her, how will she feel about him now? Reappearing at the top of the stairs with her dignity intact and the water glass in her hand, Arabella rapturously reaffirms her love and their engagement.

‘Maometto II'

Location: The Santa Fe Opera (505) 986-5955 or (800) 280-4654

Drawn from Middle Eastern History — and Rediscovered Opera History.

Is Rossini’s serious side musically even richer than his comedies? There’s no need to choose, but even longtime Rossini enthusiasts will be astonished by the treasures that abound in Santa Fe’s world premiere of the new critical performing edition of Maometto II, recapturing the original character of the music. A love story set against a backdrop of the Venetian colony of Negroponte, Maometto II offers Rossini at his appealing best, including show-stopping coloratura arias.

Synopsis
Composed by Gioachino Rossini

Sung in Italian with English and Spanish Opera Titles

Act IThe ancient realm of Byzantium, home of Byzantine culture, has fallen to the forces of the Turkish sultan Maometto II, and the Venetian city Negroponte is under siege. On the Byzantine side, Calbo urges the commander Paolo Erisso to continue defending the city; Condulmiero urges surrender. Erisso, who has arranged the engagement of his daughter Anna to Calbo, does not know she is in love with a nobleman of Corinth.

Turks overrun Negroponte’s defenders, taking Erisso and Calbo as prisoners. The sultan Maometto arrives, recognizing Anna as his clandestine lover. The stunning truth of the realization horrifies both Erisso and Anna, who threatens suicide unless Maometto frees Erisso and Calbo. Maometto agrees, promising Anna a life of love and luxury.

Act IIStill overwhelmed by Maometto’s revelations and her homeland’s plight, Anna rejects his ardent declarations of love. He leaves to press the attack on Negroponte, entrusting her with his seal of imperial authority as a guarantee of her safety while he is gone. But Anna joins Calbo and her father in hiding, overcoming Erisso’s accusations of disloyalty by giving him Maometto’s seal. Now free to emerge from hiding, Erisso conducts Calbo’s marriage to his daughter in the shadow of her mother’s tomb, and the two men leave to face the Turks in combat.

Temporarily at a distance from the conflicting men in her life, Anna receives good and bad news: Erisso has defeated Maometto and successfully defended Negroponte, but Anna is now in danger from Maometto, who will undoubtedly want to avenge her betrayal. Confronted by Maometto and his troops at the very spot where she was married, Anna reveals the details of her deception and stabs herself, dying on her mother’s tomb.

‘King Roger'

Location: The Santa Fe Opera (505) 986-5955 or (800) 280-4654

King Roger Is Conquering the World of Opera. Find Out Why.
What happens when your life experiences — even unexpected, mystical insights — fly in the face of your political responsibilities? Exploring this fascinating conflict, the masterwork King Roger by Polish composer Karol Szymanowski was first performed in 1926, but waited more than 60 years to be seen in the Americas. Now the magnetic appeal of its music and its philosophically challenging story have been winning new admirers on both sides of the Atlantic. Singing the 12th-century Sicilian King Roger confounded by a chance encounter is one of its premier interpreters, Mariusz Kwiecien. William Burden is the shepherd-prophet who plunges a kingdom into turmoil.

Synopsis
Composed by Karol Szymanowski

Sung in Polish with English and Spanish Opera Titles

Performed without an intermission.

Act IIn medieval Sicily, in the realm of King Roger and his wife Roxana, the arrival of a mysterious Shepherd has spurred rumors and disturbed everyday life. When he interrupts Sunday Mass with news of his strange songs and his worship of an unknown deity, there is outrage; advisors and congregants urge Roger to imprison him as a heretic. But Roxana feels drawn to the newcomer, comparing the power his radiant smile to the sun. Seeking to learn more of the Shepherd’s strange beliefs, Roger resists calls for his punishment and permits him to speak in the cathedral. The Shepherd describes a God whose path to enlightenment is through joy, lust and pleasure — a God “as youthful and beautiful as I am.”

Who is this man? Though his words do not answer the mystery, they clearly have a dangerous, magnetic appeal for some — including Roxana, whose fascination is tinged with the erotic. He promises an ecstatically charged new freedom, but the worshipers struggle to continue in their disciplined observance of the Mass. Roger, calling for silence, tells the Shepherd to return for trial that evening. The congregation’s stunned reaction of fear and inner conflict seems to feed the Shepherd’s power over them. “Remember,” he warns Roger, “you call for me yourself.”

Act IIWith the trusted advisor and scholar Edrisi by his side, Roger awaits the Shepherd with foreboding. Locked in a test of wills and influence, he feels he is losing his kingly influence and even the loyalty of Roxana, who pleads passionately for Roger to show clemency toward the stranger. The Shepherd arrives for his trial and describes himself as a messenger of God who learned his faith in the East, and whose followers are drawn to his smile, singing and dancing. Roger, appalled, denounces the Shepherd as empowered by the forces of hell — a heretic who would lead his followers to perdition.

With the opposing philosophies in sharp relief, a Dionysian dance spontaneously erupts among the trial’s onlookers, led by the Shepherd. Roxana joins in, and Roger is possessed by a terrifying vision: he feels he is witnessing the disintegration of his own body. When he orders that the Shepherd be captured, his command seems to go unnoticed, and the Shepherd mockingly invites Roger to follow him as well. Eventually everyone except Edrisi joins the dancing followers of this strange new religion — even Roger, spurring the Shepherd to announce that “the King became the pilgrim.”

Act IIIAs night falls on Roger and Edrisi, Roger has been transformed. Describing himself as a vagrant and a beggar — like a wandering shepherd, perhaps — he no longer sees the physical world or the trappings of statehood as real. He calls out for Roxana, but the Shepherd appears instead, and his words are accompanied by the glow of moonlight in a display of seemingly divine power. Bewildered, Roger is unsure of Roxana’s reality when she appears; when she tries to lead him back to their palace, reassuring him that the Shepherd has gone, he does not know what to believe.

Are Roger and his state destroyed or enlightened? When Roxana attempts to persuade him to join the Shepherd’s religious following, the Shepherd reappears as the god Dionysus and Roger offers up a sacrifice to him. As the Shepherd calls out to his believers, Roxana seeks to follow him to “the land of rapture.” They leave Roger in solitude; as the dawn breaks, the dying Roger offers himself up to the light of the rising sun.

Geeks Who Drink

Location: El Farol (505) 983-9912

Weekly pub quiz mondays @ El Farol

Simply, a quiz game played in a pub. It's an Anglo-Irish tradition, but our goal is the same: to foster friendly competition, and promote social drinking. A noble cause!

The quiz consists of eight rounds of eight questions each, played by teams of up to six people. Questions are read aloud by the quizmaster and teams write down the answers, turning them in at the end of each round.

Rounds 1,  4 and 6 are themed rounds – anything from “Eight Questions About Sex That Won't Make You Too Uncomfortable” to “TV Shows Your Parents Watch.” Round 2 is a music round worth double points: name the artist and title for each song clip. Round 3 is a multiple choice round or a speed round. Round 5 is a visual round based on a printed handout. The all-audio Round 7 usually covers movies or TV shows, and is worth the standard eight points. Finally, Round 8 is always 16 points on Random Knowledge.

One round can be jokered, doubling your points for that round only (yes, the 16-point rounds are fair game). The team with the most points after eight rounds is the winner.

‘Arabella'

Location: The Santa Fe Opera (505) 986-5955 or (800) 280-4654

Love... Lust... Mistaken Identity... and a Fateful Glass of Water.

Parents caught in a bad economy resort to deception to maintain respectability. Will their ruse spoil their daughters’ chances of happiness in love? The answer comes down to a single glass of water in Arabella, a sumptuous romantic comedy with an element of social commentary, as Richard Strauss returns to the Crosby Theatre after an absence of five years. Arabella charms with Strauss’ deft characterizations and soaring vocal lines — especially soprano voices. Erin Wall, who sang the four heroines in the 2010 Tales of Hoffmann and Daphne in 2007, sings the title role, with Heidi Stober as her sister Zdenka. Sir Andrew Davis conducts.

Synopsis
Composed by Richard Strauss

Sung in German with English and Spanish Opera Titles

Arabella is presented in association with the Canadian Opera Company.

Act IFinancially strapped but aristocratically entitled, the Waldners have raised their younger daughter, Zdenka, as a boy to cut the cost of her upbringing — at least until her beautiful older sister is married. Posing as their son “Zdenko,” the girl wards off creditors as her mother consults a fortuneteller, who predicts an advantageous marriage for Zdenka’s sister, Arabella. Once mother and older sister have withdrawn, the young officer Matteo enlists his friend “Zdenko’s” help in courting Arabella; it’s that or suicide, he insists.

As Arabella returns from a stroll and dismisses her eager escort, it’s clear she is sought by many other suitors. Three — Counts Elemer, Dominik and Lamoral — have left gifts for her. Zdenka, who secretly loves Matteo, urges her to consider him, but Arabella feels that when the right candidate appears, she’ll know. Count Elemer calls on Arabella to go sleigh riding; as she leaves to change her outfit, she alerts Zdenka to a stranger peering up from the street below. Their father, Count Waldner, returns, upset by his many creditors and continuing bad luck at cards. But no sooner has he told his wife of his latest stratagem — sending a letter and photo of Arabella to his wealthy old army buddy Mandryka — than a caller also named Mandryka is announced. Nephew of the elder, deceased Mandryka, he read the letter and fell in love with Arabella’s photograph. Now he has journeyed from his rich estates in Slavonia to the Waldners’ hotel suite in Vienna solely to lend Count Waldner money and seek his daughter’s hand in marriage.

Unaware of this bright new prospect, Arabella is despondent, wondering why no suitor seems right; perhaps the Coachman’s Ball that evening will brighten her mood. She leaves with Zdenka for their sleigh ride.

Act IIIn the anteroom outside the Coachman’s Ball, Count Waldner introduces Mandryka to the Countess and Arabella; recognizing him as the young stranger she noticed earlier, Arabella is instantly drawn to him. Mandryka feels confirmed in his earlier feelings and confides in her, describing his estates, his young wife’s death, and his country’s tradition of pledging troth with a glass of water — a symbol of purity. Arabella reciprocates his love, but asks to attend the Ball as a last celebration of youth. When she is named its queen, Mandryka is thrilled and lavishes champagne and flowers on the attendees as Arabella bids farewell to her past suitors. Amid the heightened gaiety she does not notice the desperate Matteo seeking some sign of her affection — or Zdenka, who presses a key into his hand, saying it is from Arabella and unlocks her bedroom. Inevitably, Mandryka overhears; disillusioned and angry, he abandons himself to wine-soaked recklessness until Count Waldner calms him and they return to the hotel.

Act IIIArabella returns from the Ball unaware that Matteo and has been in her bedroom, ostensibly with her. Only the absent Zdenka knows the truth. As Matteo tries to slip from the hotel unnoticed, he is baffled to find Arabella already in the lobby, cool and unresponsive; Mandryka, judging the situation as he arrives with the Waldners, urges the Count to demand satisfaction from Matteo. Finally Zdenka rushes in from upstairs. Still in her negligee, she confesses giving herself to Matteo prevent his suicide, and now, wracked by guilt, considers her own. But she is immediately forgiven by her parents and embraced by Matteo. They withdraw, leaving Arabella and Mandryka in silence. Arabella directs him to have a glass of water sent to her room, and then she, too, leaves. Knowing he doubted her, how will she feel about him now? Reappearing at the top of the stairs with her dignity intact and the water glass in her hand, Arabella rapturously reaffirms her love and their engagement.

Drawn from Middle Eastern History — and Rediscovered Opera History.

Is Rossini’s serious side musically even richer than his comedies? There’s no need to choose, but even longtime Rossini enthusiasts will be astonished by the treasures that abound in Santa Fe’s world premiere of the new critical performing edition of Maometto II, recapturing the original character of the music. A love story set against a backdrop of the Venetian colony of Negroponte, Maometto II offers Rossini at his appealing best, including show-stopping coloratura arias.

Synopsis
Composed by Gioachino Rossini

Sung in Italian with English and Spanish Opera Titles

Act IThe ancient realm of Byzantium, home of Byzantine culture, has fallen to the forces of the Turkish sultan Maometto II, and the Venetian city Negroponte is under siege. On the Byzantine side, Calbo urges the commander Paolo Erisso to continue defending the city; Condulmiero urges surrender. Erisso, who has arranged the engagement of his daughter Anna to Calbo, does not know she is in love with a nobleman of Corinth.

Turks overrun Negroponte’s defenders, taking Erisso and Calbo as prisoners. The sultan Maometto arrives, recognizing Anna as his clandestine lover. The stunning truth of the realization horrifies both Erisso and Anna, who threatens suicide unless Maometto frees Erisso and Calbo. Maometto agrees, promising Anna a life of love and luxury.

Act IIStill overwhelmed by Maometto’s revelations and her homeland’s plight, Anna rejects his ardent declarations of love. He leaves to press the attack on Negroponte, entrusting her with his seal of imperial authority as a guarantee of her safety while he is gone. But Anna joins Calbo and her father in hiding, overcoming Erisso’s accusations of disloyalty by giving him Maometto’s seal. Now free to emerge from hiding, Erisso conducts Calbo’s marriage to his daughter in the shadow of her mother’s tomb, and the two men leave to face the Turks in combat.

Temporarily at a distance from the conflicting men in her life, Anna receives good and bad news: Erisso has defeated Maometto and successfully defended Negroponte, but Anna is now in danger from Maometto, who will undoubtedly want to avenge her betrayal. Confronted by Maometto and his troops at the very spot where she was married, Anna reveals the details of her deception and stabs herself, dying on her mother’s tomb.

‘Tosca'

Location: The Santa Fe Opera (505) 986-5955 or (800) 280-4654

Onstage, the Ultimate Diva. Offstage, All Too Human.

Ah, Tosca! Bewitched by her glamour and charisma, even the hated Baron Scarpia called her la divina. See why Puccini’s Tosca became the defining role for Bernhardt and Callas, and now the soprano Amanda Echalaz—whose London performances as Tosca had critics groping for superlatives. In her much-anticipated American debut in Santa Fe’s new production, she is joined by debut artist Andrew Richards as Tosca’s lover Cavaradossi. Thomas Hampson returns to Santa Fe after an absence of almost three decades. Raymond Aceto and Hampson share honors as the villainous Scarpia. Chief Conductor Frédéric Chaslin is on the podium.

Synopsis
Composed by Giacomo Puccini

Sung in Italian with English and Spanish Opera Titles

ACT IOn the run from secret police and political enemies, the activist Angelotti rushes into the Church of Sant’ Andrea della Valle, hiding as the comical old Sacristan busies himself. Soon the dashing painter Cavaradossi enters to work on his portrait of Mary Magdalene based on a likeness of Angelotti’s sister, the Marchesa Attavanti. Cavaradossi compares her dark beauty to that of his fairer lover, the charismatic diva Floria Tosca (“Recondita armonia”). Angelotti emerges and is given food by his friend Cavaradossi, who rushes him back into hiding as Tosca calls out. She questions Cavaradossi jealously before praying, then reminds him they are to meet that evening. Once she leaves, he signals Angelotti to emerge from the chapel and the two friends, learning that the police have discovered Angelotti’s escape, flee to Mario’s villa.

Meanwhile, the Sacristan returns with choirboys who are to sing a Te Deum that day. Their excitement is cut short by Baron Scarpia, feared chief of the secret police, searching for Angelotti. When Tosca reappears, Scarpia plays to her jealousy, revealing a fan with the Attavanti crest. She swears vengeance on Cavaradossi and storms out as the church fills with worshipers. Scarpia orders his men to follow her to Angelotti’s hideout; then, with the chanting chorus in procession behind him, Scarpia fantasizes aloud about sexually entrapping Tosca. His reverie continues until he suddenly remembers he is in church (“Va, Tosca!”).

ACT IIFrom his opulent office in the Palazzo Farnese, Scarpia plans how he will manipulate Tosca to serve his political and sexual ambitions. Scarpia’s henchman Spoletta, having failed to locate Angelotti, brings in Cavaradossi; Scarpia questions him while Tosca can be heard singing a cantata elsewhere in the palace. She enters as her lover is being removed for more forceful interrogation. Unable to endure his screams, she divulges Angelotti’s hiding place and the battered Cavaradossi is carried back in; realizing that Tosca has “talked,” he denounces her. But when an officer interrupts to announce that Napoleon has defeated Scarpia’s allies in Battle of Marengo, Cavaradossi’s bitterness turns to exultant cries of “Vittoria!” and he is dragged off to prison.

Finally alone with Tosca, Scarpia flatters her beauty and suggests that her lover’s life and freedom are in her hands. Tosca fends off his advances, turning to God in her despair (“Vissi d’arte”). Spoletta interrupts the standoff to announce that Angelotti, faced with capture, has killed himself. Cornered and without options, Tosca relents to Scarpia. He pretends to order a mock execution and sends Spoletta out, then jots a safe-conduct for Cavaradossi and Tosca. But the desperate Tosca, having spotted a letter-knife on Scarpia’s desk, stabs him and removes the safe-conduct from his grasp as he dies. Placing candles at his head and a crucifix on his chest, she leaves.

ACT IIIThe lone voice of a shepherd boy greets the dawn as Mario awaits execution at the Castel Sant’Angelo. He bribes the jailer to slip a farewell note to Tosca. Gloom overwhelms him as he writes (“E lucevan le stelle”) until Tosca rushes in, excitedly recounting her escape from Scarpia. Mario caresses the hands that killed for his sake (“O dolci mani”) and the two hail their future. As the firing squad appears, Tosca — ever the star — advises Mario on how to fake his death convincingly. The soldiers fire and depart. Tosca urges Mario to hurry, but when he remains motionless; she sees that Scarpia has outmaneuvered her one last time: the bullets were real. As Spoletta rushes in to arrest Tosca, she cries out to Scarpia to meet her before God, then leaps to her death from the castle’s parapet.

‘King Roger'

Location: The Santa Fe Opera (505) 986-5955 or (800) 280-4654

King Roger Is Conquering the World of Opera. Find Out Why.
What happens when your life experiences — even unexpected, mystical insights — fly in the face of your political responsibilities? Exploring this fascinating conflict, the masterwork King Roger by Polish composer Karol Szymanowski was first performed in 1926, but waited more than 60 years to be seen in the Americas. Now the magnetic appeal of its music and its philosophically challenging story have been winning new admirers on both sides of the Atlantic. Singing the 12th-century Sicilian King Roger confounded by a chance encounter is one of its premier interpreters, Mariusz Kwiecien. William Burden is the shepherd-prophet who plunges a kingdom into turmoil.

Synopsis
Composed by Karol Szymanowski

Sung in Polish with English and Spanish Opera Titles

Performed without an intermission.

Act IIn medieval Sicily, in the realm of King Roger and his wife Roxana, the arrival of a mysterious Shepherd has spurred rumors and disturbed everyday life. When he interrupts Sunday Mass with news of his strange songs and his worship of an unknown deity, there is outrage; advisors and congregants urge Roger to imprison him as a heretic. But Roxana feels drawn to the newcomer, comparing the power his radiant smile to the sun. Seeking to learn more of the Shepherd’s strange beliefs, Roger resists calls for his punishment and permits him to speak in the cathedral. The Shepherd describes a God whose path to enlightenment is through joy, lust and pleasure — a God “as youthful and beautiful as I am.”

Who is this man? Though his words do not answer the mystery, they clearly have a dangerous, magnetic appeal for some — including Roxana, whose fascination is tinged with the erotic. He promises an ecstatically charged new freedom, but the worshipers struggle to continue in their disciplined observance of the Mass. Roger, calling for silence, tells the Shepherd to return for trial that evening. The congregation’s stunned reaction of fear and inner conflict seems to feed the Shepherd’s power over them. “Remember,” he warns Roger, “you call for me yourself.”

Act IIWith the trusted advisor and scholar Edrisi by his side, Roger awaits the Shepherd with foreboding. Locked in a test of wills and influence, he feels he is losing his kingly influence and even the loyalty of Roxana, who pleads passionately for Roger to show clemency toward the stranger. The Shepherd arrives for his trial and describes himself as a messenger of God who learned his faith in the East, and whose followers are drawn to his smile, singing and dancing. Roger, appalled, denounces the Shepherd as empowered by the forces of hell — a heretic who would lead his followers to perdition.

With the opposing philosophies in sharp relief, a Dionysian dance spontaneously erupts among the trial’s onlookers, led by the Shepherd. Roxana joins in, and Roger is possessed by a terrifying vision: he feels he is witnessing the disintegration of his own body. When he orders that the Shepherd be captured, his command seems to go unnoticed, and the Shepherd mockingly invites Roger to follow him as well. Eventually everyone except Edrisi joins the dancing followers of this strange new religion — even Roger, spurring the Shepherd to announce that “the King became the pilgrim.”

Act IIIAs night falls on Roger and Edrisi, Roger has been transformed. Describing himself as a vagrant and a beggar — like a wandering shepherd, perhaps — he no longer sees the physical world or the trappings of statehood as real. He calls out for Roxana, but the Shepherd appears instead, and his words are accompanied by the glow of moonlight in a display of seemingly divine power. Bewildered, Roger is unsure of Roxana’s reality when she appears; when she tries to lead him back to their palace, reassuring him that the Shepherd has gone, he does not know what to believe.

Are Roger and his state destroyed or enlightened? When Roxana attempts to persuade him to join the Shepherd’s religious following, the Shepherd reappears as the god Dionysus and Roger offers up a sacrifice to him. As the Shepherd calls out to his believers, Roxana seeks to follow him to “the land of rapture.” They leave Roger in solitude; as the dawn breaks, the dying Roger offers himself up to the light of the rising sun.

‘The Pearl Fishers'

Location: The Santa Fe Opera (505) 986-5955 or (800) 280-4654

Two Best Friends Who Share Everything — Except the South Seas Woman They Love

Before there was Carmen, there was The Pearl Fishers — the score that established the 24-year-old Bizet as a genius. The Pearl Fishers shimmers with the beauty of its exotic setting, and includes one of the most cherished duets in the entire operatic literature, sung by best friends Nadir (tenor Eric Cutler) and Zurga (baritone Christopher Magiera) who vie for the love of priestess Leila (soprano Nicole Cabell). The Pearl Fishers delivers the same creative team that designed and directed the highly acclaimed 2010 production of Madame Butterfly.

Synopsis
Composed by Georges Bizet

Sung in French with English and Spanish Opera Titles

Act IOn the Ceylon shore that provides their livelihood and the rhythm of their lives, the pearl fishers meet and choose Zurga as their king. Nadir, once Zurga’s best friend, suddenly appears after a year away in the forest. Zurga persuades him to resettle in their village, returning to his former life and their close friendship. They recall their shared past, when they fell in love with the same woman but renounced her to remain loyal to each other. Renewing their former closeness, they vow never again to let their love for a woman threaten it (“Au fond du temple saint”).

News arrives of a boat’s landing nearby. It bears a virgin chosen as a priestess to help protect the fishermen from storms and the forces of evil. Veiled and escorted by the high priest Nourabad, she arrives for instruction in her prayerful duties and is warned of the penalty for disobedience: death. She recognizes Nadir, who in turn is struck by her resemblance to Leïla, the woman he and Zurga forswore. As she ascends a promontory to begin her sea vigil, a gust momentarily reveals her face. Now the impassioned Nadir sees she can only be Leïla, and he is powerless to keep his vow to his friend. As she prays to the goddess Siva, she hears Nadir confess that he has followed her to the island and still dreams of her (“Je crois entendre” encore), and her hymn becomes a passionate song of love.

Act IIAt their ancient temple, Nourabad reminds Leïla to remain faithful to her priestly duties. Leïla responds by telling how she protected a fugitive, refusing at knifepoint to reveal him to his pursuers; she continues to wear the pearl necklace he gave her as a reward. But after Nourabad leaves, she thinks of Nadir and cannot sleep. When he enters she desperately warns him away, saying they will be killed if found together, but soon they can only surrender to their passion. Nadir leaves, promising to return for her.

Angry villagers discover the fleeing Nadir and demand his death along with that of the veiled, unrecognized Leïla. But Zurga reminds them that only their king can determine the lovers’ fate. He orders that their lives be spared, surreptitiously urging them to escape the now-hostile village. His mercy turns to rage as Nourabad removes Leïla’s veil, revealing Zurga’s betrayal. He sentences the lovers to death as they appeal to the god Brahma for protection.

Act IIIReflecting on his friendship with Nadir and his own love for Leïla, Zurga regrets his death-sentence and struggles toward a nobler path. Leïla approaches him and attempts to protect Nadir, claiming she followed him to the island. Her devotion arouses Zurga’s jealousy, but when Nourabad arrives to remove Leïla, Zurga notices her cherished pearl necklace; as she attempts to entrust it to a villager for her mother’s sake, Zurga seizes it.

With emotional chants and dances, the villagers prepare Nadir and Leïla’s funeral pyre for their execution at sunrise. Nadir despondently prays that he might somehow save Leïla. She enters, and together they prepare for death. Then, as a glow becomes visible in the distant sky, Zurga warns his subjects that their village is on fire. Blood-lust turns to confusion as villagers run to save their homes.

Alone with Nadir and Leïla, Zurga explains that he set the fire to save them; he had recognized the necklace as the one he gave Leïla after she saved his life, and now he sees she belongs with Nadir. They escape with his blessing, singing of their happiness.

‘Tosca'

Location: The Santa Fe Opera (505) 986-5955 or (800) 280-4654

Onstage, the Ultimate Diva. Offstage, All Too Human.

Ah, Tosca! Bewitched by her glamour and charisma, even the hated Baron Scarpia called her la divina. See why Puccini’s Tosca became the defining role for Bernhardt and Callas, and now the soprano Amanda Echalaz—whose London performances as Tosca had critics groping for superlatives. In her much-anticipated American debut in Santa Fe’s new production, she is joined by debut artist Andrew Richards as Tosca’s lover Cavaradossi. Thomas Hampson returns to Santa Fe after an absence of almost three decades. Raymond Aceto and Hampson share honors as the villainous Scarpia. Chief Conductor Frédéric Chaslin is on the podium.

Synopsis
Composed by Giacomo Puccini

Sung in Italian with English and Spanish Opera Titles

ACT IOn the run from secret police and political enemies, the activist Angelotti rushes into the Church of Sant’ Andrea della Valle, hiding as the comical old Sacristan busies himself. Soon the dashing painter Cavaradossi enters to work on his portrait of Mary Magdalene based on a likeness of Angelotti’s sister, the Marchesa Attavanti. Cavaradossi compares her dark beauty to that of his fairer lover, the charismatic diva Floria Tosca (“Recondita armonia”). Angelotti emerges and is given food by his friend Cavaradossi, who rushes him back into hiding as Tosca calls out. She questions Cavaradossi jealously before praying, then reminds him they are to meet that evening. Once she leaves, he signals Angelotti to emerge from the chapel and the two friends, learning that the police have discovered Angelotti’s escape, flee to Mario’s villa.

Meanwhile, the Sacristan returns with choirboys who are to sing a Te Deum that day. Their excitement is cut short by Baron Scarpia, feared chief of the secret police, searching for Angelotti. When Tosca reappears, Scarpia plays to her jealousy, revealing a fan with the Attavanti crest. She swears vengeance on Cavaradossi and storms out as the church fills with worshipers. Scarpia orders his men to follow her to Angelotti’s hideout; then, with the chanting chorus in procession behind him, Scarpia fantasizes aloud about sexually entrapping Tosca. His reverie continues until he suddenly remembers he is in church (“Va, Tosca!”).

ACT IIFrom his opulent office in the Palazzo Farnese, Scarpia plans how he will manipulate Tosca to serve his political and sexual ambitions. Scarpia’s henchman Spoletta, having failed to locate Angelotti, brings in Cavaradossi; Scarpia questions him while Tosca can be heard singing a cantata elsewhere in the palace. She enters as her lover is being removed for more forceful interrogation. Unable to endure his screams, she divulges Angelotti’s hiding place and the battered Cavaradossi is carried back in; realizing that Tosca has “talked,” he denounces her. But when an officer interrupts to announce that Napoleon has defeated Scarpia’s allies in Battle of Marengo, Cavaradossi’s bitterness turns to exultant cries of “Vittoria!” and he is dragged off to prison.

Finally alone with Tosca, Scarpia flatters her beauty and suggests that her lover’s life and freedom are in her hands. Tosca fends off his advances, turning to God in her despair (“Vissi d’arte”). Spoletta interrupts the standoff to announce that Angelotti, faced with capture, has killed himself. Cornered and without options, Tosca relents to Scarpia. He pretends to order a mock execution and sends Spoletta out, then jots a safe-conduct for Cavaradossi and Tosca. But the desperate Tosca, having spotted a letter-knife on Scarpia’s desk, stabs him and removes the safe-conduct from his grasp as he dies. Placing candles at his head and a crucifix on his chest, she leaves.

ACT IIIThe lone voice of a shepherd boy greets the dawn as Mario awaits execution at the Castel Sant’Angelo. He bribes the jailer to slip a farewell note to Tosca. Gloom overwhelms him as he writes (“E lucevan le stelle”) until Tosca rushes in, excitedly recounting her escape from Scarpia. Mario caresses the hands that killed for his sake (“O dolci mani”) and the two hail their future. As the firing squad appears, Tosca — ever the star — advises Mario on how to fake his death convincingly. The soldiers fire and depart. Tosca urges Mario to hurry, but when he remains motionless; she sees that Scarpia has outmaneuvered her one last time: the bullets were real. As Spoletta rushes in to arrest Tosca, she cries out to Scarpia to meet her before God, then leaps to her death from the castle’s parapet.

Geeks Who Drink

Location: El Farol (505) 983-9912

Weekly pub quiz mondays @ El Farol

Simply, a quiz game played in a pub. It's an Anglo-Irish tradition, but our goal is the same: to foster friendly competition, and promote social drinking. A noble cause!

The quiz consists of eight rounds of eight questions each, played by teams of up to six people. Questions are read aloud by the quizmaster and teams write down the answers, turning them in at the end of each round.

Rounds 1,  4 and 6 are themed rounds – anything from “Eight Questions About Sex That Won't Make You Too Uncomfortable” to “TV Shows Your Parents Watch.” Round 2 is a music round worth double points: name the artist and title for each song clip. Round 3 is a multiple choice round or a speed round. Round 5 is a visual round based on a printed handout. The all-audio Round 7 usually covers movies or TV shows, and is worth the standard eight points. Finally, Round 8 is always 16 points on Random Knowledge.

One round can be jokered, doubling your points for that round only (yes, the 16-point rounds are fair game). The team with the most points after eight rounds is the winner.

‘The Pearl Fishers'

Location: The Santa Fe Opera (505) 986-5955 or (800) 280-4654

Two Best Friends Who Share Everything — Except the South Seas Woman They Love

Before there was Carmen, there was The Pearl Fishers — the score that established the 24-year-old Bizet as a genius. The Pearl Fishers shimmers with the beauty of its exotic setting, and includes one of the most cherished duets in the entire operatic literature, sung by best friends Nadir (tenor Eric Cutler) and Zurga (baritone Christopher Magiera) who vie for the love of priestess Leila (soprano Nicole Cabell). The Pearl Fishers delivers the same creative team that designed and directed the highly acclaimed 2010 production of Madame Butterfly.

Synopsis
Composed by Georges Bizet

Sung in French with English and Spanish Opera Titles

Act IOn the Ceylon shore that provides their livelihood and the rhythm of their lives, the pearl fishers meet and choose Zurga as their king. Nadir, once Zurga’s best friend, suddenly appears after a year away in the forest. Zurga persuades him to resettle in their village, returning to his former life and their close friendship. They recall their shared past, when they fell in love with the same woman but renounced her to remain loyal to each other. Renewing their former closeness, they vow never again to let their love for a woman threaten it (“Au fond du temple saint”).

News arrives of a boat’s landing nearby. It bears a virgin chosen as a priestess to help protect the fishermen from storms and the forces of evil. Veiled and escorted by the high priest Nourabad, she arrives for instruction in her prayerful duties and is warned of the penalty for disobedience: death. She recognizes Nadir, who in turn is struck by her resemblance to Leïla, the woman he and Zurga forswore. As she ascends a promontory to begin her sea vigil, a gust momentarily reveals her face. Now the impassioned Nadir sees she can only be Leïla, and he is powerless to keep his vow to his friend. As she prays to the goddess Siva, she hears Nadir confess that he has followed her to the island and still dreams of her (“Je crois entendre” encore), and her hymn becomes a passionate song of love.

Act IIAt their ancient temple, Nourabad reminds Leïla to remain faithful to her priestly duties. Leïla responds by telling how she protected a fugitive, refusing at knifepoint to reveal him to his pursuers; she continues to wear the pearl necklace he gave her as a reward. But after Nourabad leaves, she thinks of Nadir and cannot sleep. When he enters she desperately warns him away, saying they will be killed if found together, but soon they can only surrender to their passion. Nadir leaves, promising to return for her.

Angry villagers discover the fleeing Nadir and demand his death along with that of the veiled, unrecognized Leïla. But Zurga reminds them that only their king can determine the lovers’ fate. He orders that their lives be spared, surreptitiously urging them to escape the now-hostile village. His mercy turns to rage as Nourabad removes Leïla’s veil, revealing Zurga’s betrayal. He sentences the lovers to death as they appeal to the god Brahma for protection.

Act IIIReflecting on his friendship with Nadir and his own love for Leïla, Zurga regrets his death-sentence and struggles toward a nobler path. Leïla approaches him and attempts to protect Nadir, claiming she followed him to the island. Her devotion arouses Zurga’s jealousy, but when Nourabad arrives to remove Leïla, Zurga notices her cherished pearl necklace; as she attempts to entrust it to a villager for her mother’s sake, Zurga seizes it.

With emotional chants and dances, the villagers prepare Nadir and Leïla’s funeral pyre for their execution at sunrise. Nadir despondently prays that he might somehow save Leïla. She enters, and together they prepare for death. Then, as a glow becomes visible in the distant sky, Zurga warns his subjects that their village is on fire. Blood-lust turns to confusion as villagers run to save their homes.

Alone with Nadir and Leïla, Zurga explains that he set the fire to save them; he had recognized the necklace as the one he gave Leïla after she saved his life, and now he sees she belongs with Nadir. They escape with his blessing, singing of their happiness.

‘King Roger'

Location: The Santa Fe Opera (505) 986-5955 or (800) 280-4654

King Roger Is Conquering the World of Opera. Find Out Why.
What happens when your life experiences — even unexpected, mystical insights — fly in the face of your political responsibilities? Exploring this fascinating conflict, the masterwork King Roger by Polish composer Karol Szymanowski was first performed in 1926, but waited more than 60 years to be seen in the Americas. Now the magnetic appeal of its music and its philosophically challenging story have been winning new admirers on both sides of the Atlantic. Singing the 12th-century Sicilian King Roger confounded by a chance encounter is one of its premier interpreters, Mariusz Kwiecien. William Burden is the shepherd-prophet who plunges a kingdom into turmoil.

Synopsis
Composed by Karol Szymanowski

Sung in Polish with English and Spanish Opera Titles

Performed without an intermission.

Act IIn medieval Sicily, in the realm of King Roger and his wife Roxana, the arrival of a mysterious Shepherd has spurred rumors and disturbed everyday life. When he interrupts Sunday Mass with news of his strange songs and his worship of an unknown deity, there is outrage; advisors and congregants urge Roger to imprison him as a heretic. But Roxana feels drawn to the newcomer, comparing the power his radiant smile to the sun. Seeking to learn more of the Shepherd’s strange beliefs, Roger resists calls for his punishment and permits him to speak in the cathedral. The Shepherd describes a God whose path to enlightenment is through joy, lust and pleasure — a God “as youthful and beautiful as I am.”

Who is this man? Though his words do not answer the mystery, they clearly have a dangerous, magnetic appeal for some — including Roxana, whose fascination is tinged with the erotic. He promises an ecstatically charged new freedom, but the worshipers struggle to continue in their disciplined observance of the Mass. Roger, calling for silence, tells the Shepherd to return for trial that evening. The congregation’s stunned reaction of fear and inner conflict seems to feed the Shepherd’s power over them. “Remember,” he warns Roger, “you call for me yourself.”

Act IIWith the trusted advisor and scholar Edrisi by his side, Roger awaits the Shepherd with foreboding. Locked in a test of wills and influence, he feels he is losing his kingly influence and even the loyalty of Roxana, who pleads passionately for Roger to show clemency toward the stranger. The Shepherd arrives for his trial and describes himself as a messenger of God who learned his faith in the East, and whose followers are drawn to his smile, singing and dancing. Roger, appalled, denounces the Shepherd as empowered by the forces of hell — a heretic who would lead his followers to perdition.

With the opposing philosophies in sharp relief, a Dionysian dance spontaneously erupts among the trial’s onlookers, led by the Shepherd. Roxana joins in, and Roger is possessed by a terrifying vision: he feels he is witnessing the disintegration of his own body. When he orders that the Shepherd be captured, his command seems to go unnoticed, and the Shepherd mockingly invites Roger to follow him as well. Eventually everyone except Edrisi joins the dancing followers of this strange new religion — even Roger, spurring the Shepherd to announce that “the King became the pilgrim.”

Act IIIAs night falls on Roger and Edrisi, Roger has been transformed. Describing himself as a vagrant and a beggar — like a wandering shepherd, perhaps — he no longer sees the physical world or the trappings of statehood as real. He calls out for Roxana, but the Shepherd appears instead, and his words are accompanied by the glow of moonlight in a display of seemingly divine power. Bewildered, Roger is unsure of Roxana’s reality when she appears; when she tries to lead him back to their palace, reassuring him that the Shepherd has gone, he does not know what to believe.

Are Roger and his state destroyed or enlightened? When Roxana attempts to persuade him to join the Shepherd’s religious following, the Shepherd reappears as the god Dionysus and Roger offers up a sacrifice to him. As the Shepherd calls out to his believers, Roxana seeks to follow him to “the land of rapture.” They leave Roger in solitude; as the dawn breaks, the dying Roger offers himself up to the light of the rising sun.

‘Tosca'

Location: The Santa Fe Opera (505) 986-5955 or (800) 280-4654

Onstage, the Ultimate Diva. Offstage, All Too Human.

Ah, Tosca! Bewitched by her glamour and charisma, even the hated Baron Scarpia called her la divina. See why Puccini’s Tosca became the defining role for Bernhardt and Callas, and now the soprano Amanda Echalaz—whose London performances as Tosca had critics groping for superlatives. In her much-anticipated American debut in Santa Fe’s new production, she is joined by debut artist Andrew Richards as Tosca’s lover Cavaradossi. Thomas Hampson returns to Santa Fe after an absence of almost three decades. Raymond Aceto and Hampson share honors as the villainous Scarpia. Chief Conductor Frédéric Chaslin is on the podium.

Synopsis
Composed by Giacomo Puccini

Sung in Italian with English and Spanish Opera Titles

ACT IOn the run from secret police and political enemies, the activist Angelotti rushes into the Church of Sant’ Andrea della Valle, hiding as the comical old Sacristan busies himself. Soon the dashing painter Cavaradossi enters to work on his portrait of Mary Magdalene based on a likeness of Angelotti’s sister, the Marchesa Attavanti. Cavaradossi compares her dark beauty to that of his fairer lover, the charismatic diva Floria Tosca (“Recondita armonia”). Angelotti emerges and is given food by his friend Cavaradossi, who rushes him back into hiding as Tosca calls out. She questions Cavaradossi jealously before praying, then reminds him they are to meet that evening. Once she leaves, he signals Angelotti to emerge from the chapel and the two friends, learning that the police have discovered Angelotti’s escape, flee to Mario’s villa.

Meanwhile, the Sacristan returns with choirboys who are to sing a Te Deum that day. Their excitement is cut short by Baron Scarpia, feared chief of the secret police, searching for Angelotti. When Tosca reappears, Scarpia plays to her jealousy, revealing a fan with the Attavanti crest. She swears vengeance on Cavaradossi and storms out as the church fills with worshipers. Scarpia orders his men to follow her to Angelotti’s hideout; then, with the chanting chorus in procession behind him, Scarpia fantasizes aloud about sexually entrapping Tosca. His reverie continues until he suddenly remembers he is in church (“Va, Tosca!”).

ACT IIFrom his opulent office in the Palazzo Farnese, Scarpia plans how he will manipulate Tosca to serve his political and sexual ambitions. Scarpia’s henchman Spoletta, having failed to locate Angelotti, brings in Cavaradossi; Scarpia questions him while Tosca can be heard singing a cantata elsewhere in the palace. She enters as her lover is being removed for more forceful interrogation. Unable to endure his screams, she divulges Angelotti’s hiding place and the battered Cavaradossi is carried back in; realizing that Tosca has “talked,” he denounces her. But when an officer interrupts to announce that Napoleon has defeated Scarpia’s allies in Battle of Marengo, Cavaradossi’s bitterness turns to exultant cries of “Vittoria!” and he is dragged off to prison.

Finally alone with Tosca, Scarpia flatters her beauty and suggests that her lover’s life and freedom are in her hands. Tosca fends off his advances, turning to God in her despair (“Vissi d’arte”). Spoletta interrupts the standoff to announce that Angelotti, faced with capture, has killed himself. Cornered and without options, Tosca relents to Scarpia. He pretends to order a mock execution and sends Spoletta out, then jots a safe-conduct for Cavaradossi and Tosca. But the desperate Tosca, having spotted a letter-knife on Scarpia’s desk, stabs him and removes the safe-conduct from his grasp as he dies. Placing candles at his head and a crucifix on his chest, she leaves.

ACT IIIThe lone voice of a shepherd boy greets the dawn as Mario awaits execution at the Castel Sant’Angelo. He bribes the jailer to slip a farewell note to Tosca. Gloom overwhelms him as he writes (“E lucevan le stelle”) until Tosca rushes in, excitedly recounting her escape from Scarpia. Mario caresses the hands that killed for his sake (“O dolci mani”) and the two hail their future. As the firing squad appears, Tosca — ever the star — advises Mario on how to fake his death convincingly. The soldiers fire and depart. Tosca urges Mario to hurry, but when he remains motionless; she sees that Scarpia has outmaneuvered her one last time: the bullets were real. As Spoletta rushes in to arrest Tosca, she cries out to Scarpia to meet her before God, then leaps to her death from the castle’s parapet.

‘Maometto II'

Location: The Santa Fe Opera (505) 986-5955 or (800) 280-4654

Drawn from Middle Eastern History — and Rediscovered Opera History.

Is Rossini’s serious side musically even richer than his comedies? There’s no need to choose, but even longtime Rossini enthusiasts will be astonished by the treasures that abound in Santa Fe’s world premiere of the new critical performing edition of Maometto II, recapturing the original character of the music. A love story set against a backdrop of the Venetian colony of Negroponte, Maometto II offers Rossini at his appealing best, including show-stopping coloratura arias.

Synopsis
Composed by Gioachino Rossini

Sung in Italian with English and Spanish Opera Titles

Act IThe ancient realm of Byzantium, home of Byzantine culture, has fallen to the forces of the Turkish sultan Maometto II, and the Venetian city Negroponte is under siege. On the Byzantine side, Calbo urges the commander Paolo Erisso to continue defending the city; Condulmiero urges surrender. Erisso, who has arranged the engagement of his daughter Anna to Calbo, does not know she is in love with a nobleman of Corinth.

Turks overrun Negroponte’s defenders, taking Erisso and Calbo as prisoners. The sultan Maometto arrives, recognizing Anna as his clandestine lover. The stunning truth of the realization horrifies both Erisso and Anna, who threatens suicide unless Maometto frees Erisso and Calbo. Maometto agrees, promising Anna a life of love and luxury.

Act IIStill overwhelmed by Maometto’s revelations and her homeland’s plight, Anna rejects his ardent declarations of love. He leaves to press the attack on Negroponte, entrusting her with his seal of imperial authority as a guarantee of her safety while he is gone. But Anna joins Calbo and her father in hiding, overcoming Erisso’s accusations of disloyalty by giving him Maometto’s seal. Now free to emerge from hiding, Erisso conducts Calbo’s marriage to his daughter in the shadow of her mother’s tomb, and the two men leave to face the Turks in combat.

Temporarily at a distance from the conflicting men in her life, Anna receives good and bad news: Erisso has defeated Maometto and successfully defended Negroponte, but Anna is now in danger from Maometto, who will undoubtedly want to avenge her betrayal. Confronted by Maometto and his troops at the very spot where she was married, Anna reveals the details of her deception and stabs herself, dying on her mother’s tomb.

Love... Lust... Mistaken Identity... and a Fateful Glass of Water.

Parents caught in a bad economy resort to deception to maintain respectability. Will their ruse spoil their daughters’ chances of happiness in love? The answer comes down to a single glass of water in Arabella, a sumptuous romantic comedy with an element of social commentary, as Richard Strauss returns to the Crosby Theatre after an absence of five years. Arabella charms with Strauss’ deft characterizations and soaring vocal lines — especially soprano voices. Erin Wall, who sang the four heroines in the 2010 Tales of Hoffmann and Daphne in 2007, sings the title role, with Heidi Stober as her sister Zdenka. Sir Andrew Davis conducts.

Synopsis
Composed by Richard Strauss

Sung in German with English and Spanish Opera Titles

Arabella is presented in association with the Canadian Opera Company.

Act IFinancially strapped but aristocratically entitled, the Waldners have raised their younger daughter, Zdenka, as a boy to cut the cost of her upbringing — at least until her beautiful older sister is married. Posing as their son “Zdenko,” the girl wards off creditors as her mother consults a fortuneteller, who predicts an advantageous marriage for Zdenka’s sister, Arabella. Once mother and older sister have withdrawn, the young officer Matteo enlists his friend “Zdenko’s” help in courting Arabella; it’s that or suicide, he insists.

As Arabella returns from a stroll and dismisses her eager escort, it’s clear she is sought by many other suitors. Three — Counts Elemer, Dominik and Lamoral — have left gifts for her. Zdenka, who secretly loves Matteo, urges her to consider him, but Arabella feels that when the right candidate appears, she’ll know. Count Elemer calls on Arabella to go sleigh riding; as she leaves to change her outfit, she alerts Zdenka to a stranger peering up from the street below. Their father, Count Waldner, returns, upset by his many creditors and continuing bad luck at cards. But no sooner has he told his wife of his latest stratagem — sending a letter and photo of Arabella to his wealthy old army buddy Mandryka — than a caller also named Mandryka is announced. Nephew of the elder, deceased Mandryka, he read the letter and fell in love with Arabella’s photograph. Now he has journeyed from his rich estates in Slavonia to the Waldners’ hotel suite in Vienna solely to lend Count Waldner money and seek his daughter’s hand in marriage.

Unaware of this bright new prospect, Arabella is despondent, wondering why no suitor seems right; perhaps the Coachman’s Ball that evening will brighten her mood. She leaves with Zdenka for their sleigh ride.

Act IIIn the anteroom outside the Coachman’s Ball, Count Waldner introduces Mandryka to the Countess and Arabella; recognizing him as the young stranger she noticed earlier, Arabella is instantly drawn to him. Mandryka feels confirmed in his earlier feelings and confides in her, describing his estates, his young wife’s death, and his country’s tradition of pledging troth with a glass of water — a symbol of purity. Arabella reciprocates his love, but asks to attend the Ball as a last celebration of youth. When she is named its queen, Mandryka is thrilled and lavishes champagne and flowers on the attendees as Arabella bids farewell to her past suitors. Amid the heightened gaiety she does not notice the desperate Matteo seeking some sign of her affection — or Zdenka, who presses a key into his hand, saying it is from Arabella and unlocks her bedroom. Inevitably, Mandryka overhears; disillusioned and angry, he abandons himself to wine-soaked recklessness until Count Waldner calms him and they return to the hotel.

Act IIIArabella returns from the Ball unaware that Matteo and has been in her bedroom, ostensibly with her. Only the absent Zdenka knows the truth. As Matteo tries to slip from the hotel unnoticed, he is baffled to find Arabella already in the lobby, cool and unresponsive; Mandryka, judging the situation as he arrives with the Waldners, urges the Count to demand satisfaction from Matteo. Finally Zdenka rushes in from upstairs. Still in her negligee, she confesses giving herself to Matteo prevent his suicide, and now, wracked by guilt, considers her own. But she is immediately forgiven by her parents and embraced by Matteo. They withdraw, leaving Arabella and Mandryka in silence. Arabella directs him to have a glass of water sent to her room, and then she, too, leaves. Knowing he doubted her, how will she feel about him now?

‘Tosca'

Location: The Santa Fe Opera (505) 986-5955 or (800) 280-4654

Onstage, the Ultimate Diva. Offstage, All Too Human.

Ah, Tosca! Bewitched by her glamour and charisma, even the hated Baron Scarpia called her la divina. See why Puccini’s Tosca became the defining role for Bernhardt and Callas, and now the soprano Amanda Echalaz—whose London performances as Tosca had critics groping for superlatives. In her much-anticipated American debut in Santa Fe’s new production, she is joined by debut artist Andrew Richards as Tosca’s lover Cavaradossi. Thomas Hampson returns to Santa Fe after an absence of almost three decades. Raymond Aceto and Hampson share honors as the villainous Scarpia. Chief Conductor Frédéric Chaslin is on the podium.

Synopsis
Composed by Giacomo Puccini

Sung in Italian with English and Spanish Opera Titles

ACT IOn the run from secret police and political enemies, the activist Angelotti rushes into the Church of Sant’ Andrea della Valle, hiding as the comical old Sacristan busies himself. Soon the dashing painter Cavaradossi enters to work on his portrait of Mary Magdalene based on a likeness of Angelotti’s sister, the Marchesa Attavanti. Cavaradossi compares her dark beauty to that of his fairer lover, the charismatic diva Floria Tosca (“Recondita armonia”). Angelotti emerges and is given food by his friend Cavaradossi, who rushes him back into hiding as Tosca calls out. She questions Cavaradossi jealously before praying, then reminds him they are to meet that evening. Once she leaves, he signals Angelotti to emerge from the chapel and the two friends, learning that the police have discovered Angelotti’s escape, flee to Mario’s villa.

Meanwhile, the Sacristan returns with choirboys who are to sing a Te Deum that day. Their excitement is cut short by Baron Scarpia, feared chief of the secret police, searching for Angelotti. When Tosca reappears, Scarpia plays to her jealousy, revealing a fan with the Attavanti crest. She swears vengeance on Cavaradossi and storms out as the church fills with worshipers. Scarpia orders his men to follow her to Angelotti’s hideout; then, with the chanting chorus in procession behind him, Scarpia fantasizes aloud about sexually entrapping Tosca. His reverie continues until he suddenly remembers he is in church (“Va, Tosca!”).

ACT IIFrom his opulent office in the Palazzo Farnese, Scarpia plans how he will manipulate Tosca to serve his political and sexual ambitions. Scarpia’s henchman Spoletta, having failed to locate Angelotti, brings in Cavaradossi; Scarpia questions him while Tosca can be heard singing a cantata elsewhere in the palace. She enters as her lover is being removed for more forceful interrogation. Unable to endure his screams, she divulges Angelotti’s hiding place and the battered Cavaradossi is carried back in; realizing that Tosca has “talked,” he denounces her. But when an officer interrupts to announce that Napoleon has defeated Scarpia’s allies in Battle of Marengo, Cavaradossi’s bitterness turns to exultant cries of “Vittoria!” and he is dragged off to prison.

Finally alone with Tosca, Scarpia flatters her beauty and suggests that her lover’s life and freedom are in her hands. Tosca fends off his advances, turning to God in her despair (“Vissi d’arte”). Spoletta interrupts the standoff to announce that Angelotti, faced with capture, has killed himself. Cornered and without options, Tosca relents to Scarpia. He pretends to order a mock execution and sends Spoletta out, then jots a safe-conduct for Cavaradossi and Tosca. But the desperate Tosca, having spotted a letter-knife on Scarpia’s desk, stabs him and removes the safe-conduct from his grasp as he dies. Placing candles at his head and a crucifix on his chest, she leaves.

ACT IIIThe lone voice of a shepherd boy greets the dawn as Mario awaits execution at the Castel Sant’Angelo. He bribes the jailer to slip a farewell note to Tosca. Gloom overwhelms him as he writes (“E lucevan le stelle”) until Tosca rushes in, excitedly recounting her escape from Scarpia. Mario caresses the hands that killed for his sake (“O dolci mani”) and the two hail their future. As the firing squad appears, Tosca — ever the star — advises Mario on how to fake his death convincingly. The soldiers fire and depart. Tosca urges Mario to hurry, but when he remains motionless; she sees that Scarpia has outmaneuvered her one last time: the bullets were real. As Spoletta rushes in to arrest Tosca, she cries out to Scarpia to meet her before God, then leaps to her death from the castle’s parapet.

Geeks Who Drink

Location: El Farol (505) 983-9912

Weekly pub quiz mondays @ El Farol

Simply, a quiz game played in a pub. It's an Anglo-Irish tradition, but our goal is the same: to foster friendly competition, and promote social drinking. A noble cause!

The quiz consists of eight rounds of eight questions each, played by teams of up to six people. Questions are read aloud by the quizmaster and teams write down the answers, turning them in at the end of each round.

Rounds 1,  4 and 6 are themed rounds – anything from “Eight Questions About Sex That Won't Make You Too Uncomfortable” to “TV Shows Your Parents Watch.” Round 2 is a music round worth double points: name the artist and title for each song clip. Round 3 is a multiple choice round or a speed round. Round 5 is a visual round based on a printed handout. The all-audio Round 7 usually covers movies or TV shows, and is worth the standard eight points. Finally, Round 8 is always 16 points on Random Knowledge.

One round can be jokered, doubling your points for that round only (yes, the 16-point rounds are fair game). The team with the most points after eight rounds is the winner.

‘Tosca'

Location: The Santa Fe Opera (505) 986-5955 or (800) 280-4654

Onstage, the Ultimate Diva. Offstage, All Too Human.

Ah, Tosca! Bewitched by her glamour and charisma, even the hated Baron Scarpia called her la divina. See why Puccini’s Tosca became the defining role for Bernhardt and Callas, and now the soprano Amanda Echalaz—whose London performances as Tosca had critics groping for superlatives. In her much-anticipated American debut in Santa Fe’s new production, she is joined by debut artist Andrew Richards as Tosca’s lover Cavaradossi. Thomas Hampson returns to Santa Fe after an absence of almost three decades. Raymond Aceto and Hampson share honors as the villainous Scarpia. Chief Conductor Frédéric Chaslin is on the podium.

Synopsis
Composed by Giacomo Puccini

Sung in Italian with English and Spanish Opera Titles

ACT IOn the run from secret police and political enemies, the activist Angelotti rushes into the Church of Sant’ Andrea della Valle, hiding as the comical old Sacristan busies himself. Soon the dashing painter Cavaradossi enters to work on his portrait of Mary Magdalene based on a likeness of Angelotti’s sister, the Marchesa Attavanti. Cavaradossi compares her dark beauty to that of his fairer lover, the charismatic diva Floria Tosca (“Recondita armonia”). Angelotti emerges and is given food by his friend Cavaradossi, who rushes him back into hiding as Tosca calls out. She questions Cavaradossi jealously before praying, then reminds him they are to meet that evening. Once she leaves, he signals Angelotti to emerge from the chapel and the two friends, learning that the police have discovered Angelotti’s escape, flee to Mario’s villa.

Meanwhile, the Sacristan returns with choirboys who are to sing a Te Deum that day. Their excitement is cut short by Baron Scarpia, feared chief of the secret police, searching for Angelotti. When Tosca reappears, Scarpia plays to her jealousy, revealing a fan with the Attavanti crest. She swears vengeance on Cavaradossi and storms out as the church fills with worshipers. Scarpia orders his men to follow her to Angelotti’s hideout; then, with the chanting chorus in procession behind him, Scarpia fantasizes aloud about sexually entrapping Tosca. His reverie continues until he suddenly remembers he is in church (“Va, Tosca!”).

ACT IIFrom his opulent office in the Palazzo Farnese, Scarpia plans how he will manipulate Tosca to serve his political and sexual ambitions. Scarpia’s henchman Spoletta, having failed to locate Angelotti, brings in Cavaradossi; Scarpia questions him while Tosca can be heard singing a cantata elsewhere in the palace. She enters as her lover is being removed for more forceful interrogation. Unable to endure his screams, she divulges Angelotti’s hiding place and the battered Cavaradossi is carried back in; realizing that Tosca has “talked,” he denounces her. But when an officer interrupts to announce that Napoleon has defeated Scarpia’s allies in Battle of Marengo, Cavaradossi’s bitterness turns to exultant cries of “Vittoria!” and he is dragged off to prison.

Finally alone with Tosca, Scarpia flatters her beauty and suggests that her lover’s life and freedom are in her hands. Tosca fends off his advances, turning to God in her despair (“Vissi d’arte”). Spoletta interrupts the standoff to announce that Angelotti, faced with capture, has killed himself. Cornered and without options, Tosca relents to Scarpia. He pretends to order a mock execution and sends Spoletta out, then jots a safe-conduct for Cavaradossi and Tosca. But the desperate Tosca, having spotted a letter-knife on Scarpia’s desk, stabs him and removes the safe-conduct from his grasp as he dies. Placing candles at his head and a crucifix on his chest, she leaves.

ACT IIIThe lone voice of a shepherd boy greets the dawn as Mario awaits execution at the Castel Sant’Angelo. He bribes the jailer to slip a farewell note to Tosca. Gloom overwhelms him as he writes (“E lucevan le stelle”) until Tosca rushes in, excitedly recounting her escape from Scarpia. Mario caresses the hands that killed for his sake (“O dolci mani”) and the two hail their future. As the firing squad appears, Tosca — ever the star — advises Mario on how to fake his death convincingly. The soldiers fire and depart. Tosca urges Mario to hurry, but when he remains motionless; she sees that Scarpia has outmaneuvered her one last time: the bullets were real. As Spoletta rushes in to arrest Tosca, she cries out to Scarpia to meet her before God, then leaps to her death from the castle’s parapet.

‘The Pearl Fishers'

Location: The Santa Fe Opera (505) 986-5955 or (800) 280-4654

Two Best Friends Who Share Everything — Except the South Seas Woman They Love

Before there was Carmen, there was The Pearl Fishers — the score that established the 24-year-old Bizet as a genius. The Pearl Fishers shimmers with the beauty of its exotic setting, and includes one of the most cherished duets in the entire operatic literature, sung by best friends Nadir (tenor Eric Cutler) and Zurga (baritone Christopher Magiera) who vie for the love of priestess Leila (soprano Nicole Cabell). The Pearl Fishers delivers the same creative team that designed and directed the highly acclaimed 2010 production of Madame Butterfly.

Synopsis
Composed by Georges Bizet

Sung in French with English and Spanish Opera Titles

Act IOn the Ceylon shore that provides their livelihood and the rhythm of their lives, the pearl fishers meet and choose Zurga as their king. Nadir, once Zurga’s best friend, suddenly appears after a year away in the forest. Zurga persuades him to resettle in their village, returning to his former life and their close friendship. They recall their shared past, when they fell in love with the same woman but renounced her to remain loyal to each other. Renewing their former closeness, they vow never again to let their love for a woman threaten it (“Au fond du temple saint”).

News arrives of a boat’s landing nearby. It bears a virgin chosen as a priestess to help protect the fishermen from storms and the forces of evil. Veiled and escorted by the high priest Nourabad, she arrives for instruction in her prayerful duties and is warned of the penalty for disobedience: death. She recognizes Nadir, who in turn is struck by her resemblance to Leïla, the woman he and Zurga forswore. As she ascends a promontory to begin her sea vigil, a gust momentarily reveals her face. Now the impassioned Nadir sees she can only be Leïla, and he is powerless to keep his vow to his friend. As she prays to the goddess Siva, she hears Nadir confess that he has followed her to the island and still dreams of her (“Je crois entendre” encore), and her hymn becomes a passionate song of love.

Act IIAt their ancient temple, Nourabad reminds Leïla to remain faithful to her priestly duties. Leïla responds by telling how she protected a fugitive, refusing at knifepoint to reveal him to his pursuers; she continues to wear the pearl necklace he gave her as a reward. But after Nourabad leaves, she thinks of Nadir and cannot sleep. When he enters she desperately warns him away, saying they will be killed if found together, but soon they can only surrender to their passion. Nadir leaves, promising to return for her.

Angry villagers discover the fleeing Nadir and demand his death along with that of the veiled, unrecognized Leïla. But Zurga reminds them that only their king can determine the lovers’ fate. He orders that their lives be spared, surreptitiously urging them to escape the now-hostile village. His mercy turns to rage as Nourabad removes Leïla’s veil, revealing Zurga’s betrayal. He sentences the lovers to death as they appeal to the god Brahma for protection.

Act IIIReflecting on his friendship with Nadir and his own love for Leïla, Zurga regrets his death-sentence and struggles toward a nobler path. Leïla approaches him and attempts to protect Nadir, claiming she followed him to the island. Her devotion arouses Zurga’s jealousy, but when Nourabad arrives to remove Leïla, Zurga notices her cherished pearl necklace; as she attempts to entrust it to a villager for her mother’s sake, Zurga seizes it.

With emotional chants and dances, the villagers prepare Nadir and Leïla’s funeral pyre for their execution at sunrise. Nadir despondently prays that he might somehow save Leïla. She enters, and together they prepare for death. Then, as a glow becomes visible in the distant sky, Zurga warns his subjects that their village is on fire. Blood-lust turns to confusion as villagers run to save their homes.

Alone with Nadir and Leïla, Zurga explains that he set the fire to save them; he had recognized the necklace as the one he gave Leïla after she saved his life, and now he sees she belongs with Nadir. They escape with his blessing, singing of their happiness.

‘Arabella'

Location: The Santa Fe Opera (505) 986-5955 or (800) 280-4654

Love... Lust... Mistaken Identity... and a Fateful Glass of Water.

Parents caught in a bad economy resort to deception to maintain respectability. Will their ruse spoil their daughters’ chances of happiness in love? The answer comes down to a single glass of water in Arabella, a sumptuous romantic comedy with an element of social commentary, as Richard Strauss returns to the Crosby Theatre after an absence of five years. Arabella charms with Strauss’ deft characterizations and soaring vocal lines — especially soprano voices. Erin Wall, who sang the four heroines in the 2010 Tales of Hoffmann and Daphne in 2007, sings the title role, with Heidi Stober as her sister Zdenka. Sir Andrew Davis conducts.

Synopsis
Composed by Richard Strauss

Sung in German with English and Spanish Opera Titles

Arabella is presented in association with the Canadian Opera Company.

Act IFinancially strapped but aristocratically entitled, the Waldners have raised their younger daughter, Zdenka, as a boy to cut the cost of her upbringing — at least until her beautiful older sister is married. Posing as their son “Zdenko,” the girl wards off creditors as her mother consults a fortuneteller, who predicts an advantageous marriage for Zdenka’s sister, Arabella. Once mother and older sister have withdrawn, the young officer Matteo enlists his friend “Zdenko’s” help in courting Arabella; it’s that or suicide, he insists.

As Arabella returns from a stroll and dismisses her eager escort, it’s clear she is sought by many other suitors. Three — Counts Elemer, Dominik and Lamoral — have left gifts for her. Zdenka, who secretly loves Matteo, urges her to consider him, but Arabella feels that when the right candidate appears, she’ll know. Count Elemer calls on Arabella to go sleigh riding; as she leaves to change her outfit, she alerts Zdenka to a stranger peering up from the street below. Their father, Count Waldner, returns, upset by his many creditors and continuing bad luck at cards. But no sooner has he told his wife of his latest stratagem — sending a letter and photo of Arabella to his wealthy old army buddy Mandryka — than a caller also named Mandryka is announced. Nephew of the elder, deceased Mandryka, he read the letter and fell in love with Arabella’s photograph. Now he has journeyed from his rich estates in Slavonia to the Waldners’ hotel suite in Vienna solely to lend Count Waldner money and seek his daughter’s hand in marriage.

Unaware of this bright new prospect, Arabella is despondent, wondering why no suitor seems right; perhaps the Coachman’s Ball that evening will brighten her mood. She leaves with Zdenka for their sleigh ride.

Act IIIn the anteroom outside the Coachman’s Ball, Count Waldner introduces Mandryka to the Countess and Arabella; recognizing him as the young stranger she noticed earlier, Arabella is instantly drawn to him. Mandryka feels confirmed in his earlier feelings and confides in her, describing his estates, his young wife’s death, and his country’s tradition of pledging troth with a glass of water — a symbol of purity. Arabella reciprocates his love, but asks to attend the Ball as a last celebration of youth. When she is named its queen, Mandryka is thrilled and lavishes champagne and flowers on the attendees as Arabella bids farewell to her past suitors. Amid the heightened gaiety she does not notice the desperate Matteo seeking some sign of her affection — or Zdenka, who presses a key into his hand, saying it is from Arabella and unlocks her bedroom. Inevitably, Mandryka overhears; disillusioned and angry, he abandons himself to wine-soaked recklessness until Count Waldner calms him and they return to the hotel.

Act IIIArabella returns from the Ball unaware that Matteo and has been in her bedroom, ostensibly with her. Only the absent Zdenka knows the truth. As Matteo tries to slip from the hotel unnoticed, he is baffled to find Arabella already in the lobby, cool and unresponsive; Mandryka, judging the situation as he arrives with the Waldners, urges the Count to demand satisfaction from Matteo. Finally Zdenka rushes in from upstairs. Still in her negligee, she confesses giving herself to Matteo prevent his suicide, and now, wracked by guilt, considers her own. But she is immediately forgiven by her parents and embraced by Matteo. They withdraw, leaving Arabella and Mandryka in silence. Arabella directs him to have a glass of water sent to her room, and then she, too, leaves. Knowing he doubted her, how will she feel about him now? Reappearing at the top of the stairs with her dignity intact and the water glass in her hand, Arabella rapturously reaffirms her love and their engagement.

‘Tosca'

Location: The Santa Fe Opera (505) 986-5955 or (800) 280-4654

Onstage, the Ultimate Diva. Offstage, All Too Human.

Ah, Tosca! Bewitched by her glamour and charisma, even the hated Baron Scarpia called her la divina. See why Puccini’s Tosca became the defining role for Bernhardt and Callas, and now the soprano Amanda Echalaz—whose London performances as Tosca had critics groping for superlatives. In her much-anticipated American debut in Santa Fe’s new production, she is joined by debut artist Andrew Richards as Tosca’s lover Cavaradossi. Thomas Hampson returns to Santa Fe after an absence of almost three decades. Raymond Aceto and Hampson share honors as the villainous Scarpia. Chief Conductor Frédéric Chaslin is on the podium.

Synopsis
Composed by Giacomo Puccini

Sung in Italian with English and Spanish Opera Titles

ACT IOn the run from secret police and political enemies, the activist Angelotti rushes into the Church of Sant’ Andrea della Valle, hiding as the comical old Sacristan busies himself. Soon the dashing painter Cavaradossi enters to work on his portrait of Mary Magdalene based on a likeness of Angelotti’s sister, the Marchesa Attavanti. Cavaradossi compares her dark beauty to that of his fairer lover, the charismatic diva Floria Tosca (“Recondita armonia”). Angelotti emerges and is given food by his friend Cavaradossi, who rushes him back into hiding as Tosca calls out. She questions Cavaradossi jealously before praying, then reminds him they are to meet that evening. Once she leaves, he signals Angelotti to emerge from the chapel and the two friends, learning that the police have discovered Angelotti’s escape, flee to Mario’s villa.

Meanwhile, the Sacristan returns with choirboys who are to sing a Te Deum that day. Their excitement is cut short by Baron Scarpia, feared chief of the secret police, searching for Angelotti. When Tosca reappears, Scarpia plays to her jealousy, revealing a fan with the Attavanti crest. She swears vengeance on Cavaradossi and storms out as the church fills with worshipers. Scarpia orders his men to follow her to Angelotti’s hideout; then, with the chanting chorus in procession behind him, Scarpia fantasizes aloud about sexually entrapping Tosca. His reverie continues until he suddenly remembers he is in church (“Va, Tosca!”).

ACT IIFrom his opulent office in the Palazzo Farnese, Scarpia plans how he will manipulate Tosca to serve his political and sexual ambitions. Scarpia’s henchman Spoletta, having failed to locate Angelotti, brings in Cavaradossi; Scarpia questions him while Tosca can be heard singing a cantata elsewhere in the palace. She enters as her lover is being removed for more forceful interrogation. Unable to endure his screams, she divulges Angelotti’s hiding place and the battered Cavaradossi is carried back in; realizing that Tosca has “talked,” he denounces her. But when an officer interrupts to announce that Napoleon has defeated Scarpia’s allies in Battle of Marengo, Cavaradossi’s bitterness turns to exultant cries of “Vittoria!” and he is dragged off to prison.

Finally alone with Tosca, Scarpia flatters her beauty and suggests that her lover’s life and freedom are in her hands. Tosca fends off his advances, turning to God in her despair (“Vissi d’arte”). Spoletta interrupts the standoff to announce that Angelotti, faced with capture, has killed himself. Cornered and without options, Tosca relents to Scarpia. He pretends to order a mock execution and sends Spoletta out, then jots a safe-conduct for Cavaradossi and Tosca. But the desperate Tosca, having spotted a letter-knife on Scarpia’s desk, stabs him and removes the safe-conduct from his grasp as he dies. Placing candles at his head and a crucifix on his chest, she leaves.

ACT IIIThe lone voice of a shepherd boy greets the dawn as Mario awaits execution at the Castel Sant’Angelo. He bribes the jailer to slip a farewell note to Tosca. Gloom overwhelms him as he writes (“E lucevan le stelle”) until Tosca rushes in, excitedly recounting her escape from Scarpia. Mario caresses the hands that killed for his sake (“O dolci mani”) and the two hail their future. As the firing squad appears, Tosca — ever the star — advises Mario on how to fake his death convincingly. The soldiers fire and depart. Tosca urges Mario to hurry, but when he remains motionless; she sees that Scarpia has outmaneuvered her one last time: the bullets were real. As Spoletta rushes in to arrest Tosca, she cries out to Scarpia to meet her before God, then leaps to her death from the castle’s parapet.

‘The Pearl Fishers'

Location: The Santa Fe Opera (505) 986-5955 or (800) 280-4654

Two Best Friends Who Share Everything — Except the South Seas Woman They Love

Before there was Carmen, there was The Pearl Fishers — the score that established the 24-year-old Bizet as a genius. The Pearl Fishers shimmers with the beauty of its exotic setting, and includes one of the most cherished duets in the entire operatic literature, sung by best friends Nadir (tenor Eric Cutler) and Zurga (baritone Christopher Magiera) who vie for the love of priestess Leila (soprano Nicole Cabell). The Pearl Fishers delivers the same creative team that designed and directed the highly acclaimed 2010 production of Madame Butterfly.

Synopsis
Composed by Georges Bizet

Sung in French with English and Spanish Opera Titles

Act IOn the Ceylon shore that provides their livelihood and the rhythm of their lives, the pearl fishers meet and choose Zurga as their king. Nadir, once Zurga’s best friend, suddenly appears after a year away in the forest. Zurga persuades him to resettle in their village, returning to his former life and their close friendship. They recall their shared past, when they fell in love with the same woman but renounced her to remain loyal to each other. Renewing their former closeness, they vow never again to let their love for a woman threaten it (“Au fond du temple saint”).

News arrives of a boat’s landing nearby. It bears a virgin chosen as a priestess to help protect the fishermen from storms and the forces of evil. Veiled and escorted by the high priest Nourabad, she arrives for instruction in her prayerful duties and is warned of the penalty for disobedience: death. She recognizes Nadir, who in turn is struck by her resemblance to Leïla, the woman he and Zurga forswore. As she ascends a promontory to begin her sea vigil, a gust momentarily reveals her face. Now the impassioned Nadir sees she can only be Leïla, and he is powerless to keep his vow to his friend. As she prays to the goddess Siva, she hears Nadir confess that he has followed her to the island and still dreams of her (“Je crois entendre” encore), and her hymn becomes a passionate song of love.

Act IIAt their ancient temple, Nourabad reminds Leïla to remain faithful to her priestly duties. Leïla responds by telling how she protected a fugitive, refusing at knifepoint to reveal him to his pursuers; she continues to wear the pearl necklace he gave her as a reward. But after Nourabad leaves, she thinks of Nadir and cannot sleep. When he enters she desperately warns him away, saying they will be killed if found together, but soon they can only surrender to their passion. Nadir leaves, promising to return for her.

Angry villagers discover the fleeing Nadir and demand his death along with that of the veiled, unrecognized Leïla. But Zurga reminds them that only their king can determine the lovers’ fate. He orders that their lives be spared, surreptitiously urging them to escape the now-hostile village. His mercy turns to rage as Nourabad removes Leïla’s veil, revealing Zurga’s betrayal. He sentences the lovers to death as they appeal to the god Brahma for protection.

Act IIIReflecting on his friendship with Nadir and his own love for Leïla, Zurga regrets his death-sentence and struggles toward a nobler path. Leïla approaches him and attempts to protect Nadir, claiming she followed him to the island. Her devotion arouses Zurga’s jealousy, but when Nourabad arrives to remove Leïla, Zurga notices her cherished pearl necklace; as she attempts to entrust it to a villager for her mother’s sake, Zurga seizes it.

With emotional chants and dances, the villagers prepare Nadir and Leïla’s funeral pyre for their execution at sunrise. Nadir despondently prays that he might somehow save Leïla. She enters, and together they prepare for death. Then, as a glow becomes visible in the distant sky, Zurga warns his subjects that their village is on fire. Blood-lust turns to confusion as villagers run to save their homes.

Alone with Nadir and Leïla, Zurga explains that he set the fire to save them; he had recognized the necklace as the one he gave Leïla after she saved his life, and now he sees she belongs with Nadir. They escape with his blessing, singing of their happiness.

Geeks Who Drink

Location: El Farol (505) 983-9912

Weekly pub quiz mondays @ El Farol

Simply, a quiz game played in a pub. It's an Anglo-Irish tradition, but our goal is the same: to foster friendly competition, and promote social drinking. A noble cause!

The quiz consists of eight rounds of eight questions each, played by teams of up to six people. Questions are read aloud by the quizmaster and teams write down the answers, turning them in at the end of each round.

Rounds 1,  4 and 6 are themed rounds – anything from “Eight Questions About Sex That Won't Make You Too Uncomfortable” to “TV Shows Your Parents Watch.” Round 2 is a music round worth double points: name the artist and title for each song clip. Round 3 is a multiple choice round or a speed round. Round 5 is a visual round based on a printed handout. The all-audio Round 7 usually covers movies or TV shows, and is worth the standard eight points. Finally, Round 8 is always 16 points on Random Knowledge.

One round can be jokered, doubling your points for that round only (yes, the 16-point rounds are fair game). The team with the most points after eight rounds is the winner.
