<p>Pat Hancock</p>
<h3><strong><u>EDUCATION</u></strong></h3>
<p>The Education Committee was asked to provide 2-3 volunteers for Vancouver Opera’s Cultural Days held in the Martha Lou Henley Rehearsal Hall on Saturday, September 29. Due to its being a much smaller event than in previous years not many hands were needed. There will be backstage tours for high school students during the run of <strong><em>The Merry Widow</em></strong> and we will be providing docents to assist with that. Date, numbers and time to be announced. The Guild has also been asked to provide a reception after the dress rehearsal of the new V.O.I.S. program which will not be until 2019—-more information in our next newsletter.</p>
<p>John Poruks, Chair<br />
Pat Hancock, Co-Chair</p>
<h3><strong><u>GUILD CENTRE</u></strong></h3>
<p>Welcome back to another Opera season.</p>
<p>The Guild Centre is a place where theatre patrons have an opportunity to be informed about Guild activities, Special Events and upcoming Opera Tours. Tables with posters, brochures and information are set up in the lobby and in the mezzanine of the QET and are staffed by volunteers <u>prior to each performance and during the intermissions</u>.</p>
<p>The duties of the Guild Centre will start in October with four performances of <strong><em>The Merry Widow</em></strong><em>,</em> opening on Saturday, October 20, and continuing with a performance on Thursday, October 25, and on Saturday, October 27, then ending with a matinée performance on Sunday, October 28. Committee members will be contacted by me in due course.</p>
<p>The next opera, <strong><em>La Boh</em></strong><strong><em>è</em></strong><strong><em>me</em></strong> will take place in February of 2019 with performances on Thursday, February 14; Saturday, February 16; Tuesday, February 19; and Thursday, February 21; ending with a matinée performance on Sunday, February 24. Although this is still a way off, please mark these days into your calendar.</p>
<p>Please note that during the Opera season I will try and contact members of the Guild Centre Committee on a rotating basis, to make sure that everyone will have a chance to volunteer. If you already know ahead of time that you might be out of town during any of the above dates, I would appreciate it if you could let me know in advance.</p>
<p>I am looking forward to seeing you again in October.</p>
<p>Lore Hoffmann, Chair<br />
David Steiner, Co-Chair</p>
<h3><strong><u>MEMBERSHIP</u></strong></h3>
<p>As of September 13, the Guild has five honorary members and 154 regular members, of whom eight are new to the Guild since early June. Please see the “Welcome” announcement elsewhere in this Newsletter to read the names of our newest members.</p>
<p>We would very much like to increase our membership roll. Please do keep the Guild in mind when you talk to your friends and acquaintances, and consider inviting them to join, or to attend an event. Personal invitations are an excellent form of advertising, and they are free!</p>
<p>At this point there are 45 people on the current membership list who have not yet renewed their membership for the current year. If you are among them, I do hope that this is merely an oversight, and that you will fill out the membership renewal form attached to this Newsletter and mail it promptly, together with your cheque, to:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Membership Chair, Vancouver Opera Guild<br />
1945 McLean Drive<br />
Vancouver, BC V5N 3J7</p>
<p>Your membership is valuable to us! However, members who are still in arrears as of December 31 will, with regret, be stricken from the list and receive no further Newsletters or other Guild messages until the situation is rectified.</p>
<p>Natalia Diaz, Chair<br />
Gwyneth Westwick, Co-Chair</p>
<h3><strong><u>REHEARSAL REFRESHMENTS</u></strong></h3>
<p>The rehearsal refreshment committee is busy contacting volunteers to bring food for the Tuesday, October 16 orchestra tech rehearsal evening. There are several singers who have severe allergies; consequently we have been requested by Vancouver Opera to make sure there are NO NUTS, SESAME SEEDS OR SESAME OILS in any of our contributions. We have spoken to committee participants personally to make sure everyone is aware of this problem and we will be doing individual boxes for those afflicted even though some are not principal singers.</p>
<p>Pat Hancock</p>

<p><strong><u>ITALIAN OPERA FESTIVAL TOUR, </u></strong><strong><u>August 8-20, 2018</u></strong></p>
<p>The Vancouver Opera Guild recently organized an opera tour to the Italian Opera Festivals and actually managed to see operas at four Festivals, something that must be a record! Originally it was a group of 30 people but illness forced two people to withdraw, so it was a group of 28 people who finally met at the reception held in the Hotel San Luca Palace, Lucca on August 8<sup>th</sup>. This was a very welcoming hotel which had had many uses (convent, hospital, school) during its 500-year history and was located just inside the city walls. At the reception we met Sergio, our Tour Manager, whom we knew from our last tour to the Verdi Festival in Parma. Also joining us at the reception was Brian Nickel, the former director of development at Vancouver Opera who now lives in the Lucca area.</p>
<p>Lucca is said to be the hidden gem of Tuscany! It is a small city dating from Roman and Renaissance times and still with city walls that are now a park where it is possible to walk or cycle around. We had a walking tour with Alexandra, our local guide, which included Puccini’s original home. That evening we went to the Lucca Baptistery for an operatic concert featuring Puccini and Verdi. The following day after a morning and afternoon to explore, shop or rest, we walked out to the bus park (no bus traffic is allowed in Lucca old town) for transfer to the dock for a boat ride across Lake Massaciuccoli to Torre del Lago where we were to see a performance of <strong><em>Madama Butterfly</em></strong> at the open-air theatre. The arena seats about 3,400 and faces the stage with the lake behind. We had very good seats in the lower section of the orchestra. The opera began at 9:15 pm when it was almost dark. It was a minimalist production of the opera. Critics called it “a passive entertainment that neither thrills nor moves,” which somewhat explains how we felt about it.</p>
<div id="attachment_2919" style="width: 720px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="http://www.vancouveroperaguild.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/1-Suor-Angelica.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-2919" src="http://www.vancouveroperaguild.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/1-Suor-Angelica.jpg" alt="" width="710" height="533" srcset="http://www.vancouveroperaguild.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/1-Suor-Angelica.jpg 710w, http://www.vancouveroperaguild.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/1-Suor-Angelica-300x225.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 710px) 100vw, 710px" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Suor Angelica</p></div>
<p>However the next evening was <strong><em>Il Trittico</em></strong> and I don’t think anyone had ever seen the three operas performed together<em>. <strong>Il Tabarro</strong></em> went first and was well done. It was followed by <strong><em>Suor Angelica</em></strong><em> (</em>photo above) which not only looked beautiful, being all white, but was gorgeously sung. Finally, after midnight, we had <strong><em>Gianni Schicchi</em></strong> which, hearing the audience laugh and laugh, must have included additional material we could not understand as there were no English surtitles. What we could understand was entertaining, especially when the body in the bed was revealed to be a huge teddy bear – then we noticed that the ancestor’s portraits around the room were also of teddy bears! As much as we enjoyed the three operas it was almost 2:00 am when we arrived back at the hotel – it had been a long day as we had been out by bus that morning to Puccini’s grandfather’s home in the hills outside Lucca and had also visited the smallest theatre in the world!</p>
<p>On Sunday, August 12 we left the hotel around 10:15 am. to transfer to Macerata, an old university town in</p>
<div id="attachment_2920" style="width: 794px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="http://www.vancouveroperaguild.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/2-The-Magic-Flute.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-2920" src="http://www.vancouveroperaguild.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/2-The-Magic-Flute.jpg" alt="" width="784" height="588" srcset="http://www.vancouveroperaguild.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/2-The-Magic-Flute.jpg 784w, http://www.vancouveroperaguild.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/2-The-Magic-Flute-300x225.jpg 300w, http://www.vancouveroperaguild.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/2-The-Magic-Flute-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 784px) 100vw, 784px" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">The Magic Flute</p></div>
<p>the La Marche Region. We drove along the autostrada through Florence, Assisi, and Perugia before coming to the Apennines Mountains. Here engineering made our journey easier as tunnel after tunnel had been cut through the mountains, and we reached Macerata around 3:30 pm. Our hotel was Hotel Villa Quiete, formerly a private home that had become a hotel. It stood in lovely grounds including delightful gardens, trees, and a swimming pool. We left the hotel late in the afternoon to travel to the centre of Macerata for dinner before the performance of <strong><em>The Magic Flute</em></strong>, which began at 9:00 pm. It was performed in the Arena Sferisterio, a huge almond-shaped arena built in the 1820s for a form of handball. It was a modern production directed by Graham Vick, who used it as a generalized representation of the power of politics, business and religion in the form of buildings on the huge stage. It included 300 extras from among the locals and immigrant population of the town. Tamino and Pamina’s journey and trials bring down the edifices at the end of the opera. There were very strong performances from a young cast and evident enjoyment from the audience – although there were a few boos! At the end of the opera, with the edifices down, fireworks broke out at the top of the stage back wall!</p>
<p>The performance of <strong><em>The Magic Flute</em></strong> gave rise to much discussion among the group. The majority were entertained and many confessed at the end of the tour that it was one of their favourites.</p>
<p>From Macerata, after a morning walking tour, we travelled by coach a short journey to Pesaro, the Adriatic seaside town where both Rossini and Renata Tebaldi were born. We arrived at the Hotel Mercure Cruiser early in the afternoon and were very fortunate in that the majority of our rooms had lovely sea and beach views, although the beach was covered with chairs and umbrellas – for which one had to pay! The following day, after shopping, walking, and exploring the beach area or the old town, we set off to the Adriatic Arena for a performance of <strong><em>The</em> <em>Barber of Seville</em></strong><em>. </em>The arena is actually a sports facility but had been cleverly converted into a theatre that likely held around 3,000 seats, where we had good seats in the orchestra.</p>
<div id="attachment_2921" style="width: 764px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="http://www.vancouveroperaguild.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/3-Ricciardo-e-Zoraide.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-2921" src="http://www.vancouveroperaguild.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/3-Ricciardo-e-Zoraide.jpg" alt="" width="754" height="527" srcset="http://www.vancouveroperaguild.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/3-Ricciardo-e-Zoraide.jpg 754w, http://www.vancouveroperaguild.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/3-Ricciardo-e-Zoraide-300x210.jpg 300w, http://www.vancouveroperaguild.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/3-Ricciardo-e-Zoraide-70x50.jpg 70w" sizes="(max-width: 754px) 100vw, 754px" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Ricciardo e Zoraide</p></div>
<p>Yves Abel, a Canadian, conducted the opera, which was a new production. It had a young cast (Maxim Mironov, Ava Wakizono, Davide Luciano) who performed brilliantly and kept the action going. It was true bel canto and included a tenor aria in the final scene that is rarely performed. Next evening we saw a performance of <strong><em>Ricciardo e Zoraide</em></strong> in which Juan Diego Florez and Pretty Yende led the cast. The evening was a tremendous success for while the opera (a Canadian production of Opera Atelier) is perhaps the least successful of Rossini’s operas, the singing, especially of the two main characters, was (quoted from one critic) “a master class of bel canto”.</p>
<p>The following day we went to Urbino, a Renaissance town about 45 minutes from Pesaro. We met Francesca our local guide, who walked us through the town. It is located, as many Italian towns are, on the top of a hill, so we had plenty of exercise. Today it is primarily a university town but as it was an Italian public holiday, there were many visitors. It was here that we found ourselves in a rain storm but were fortunate enough to be under cover when the rain began. In the evening, a small group went to the small Teatro Rossini for a performance of <strong><em>Adina.</em></strong></p>
<p>From Pesaro we travelled to Bardolino on Lake Garda, our stay for the operas in Verona, but we arranged a stop in Ravenna on the way. Ravenna was the capital of the western Byzantine Empire and is renowned for the beautiful mosaics found in the churches. As in all old Italian cities we needed to walk to see the churches, as buses are not allowed into the centres of the towns. We saw several churches which were wonderfully decorated with historical mosaics and were able to have lunch here before we continued our journey.</p>

<p>Our hotel in Bardolina was Hotel Caesius Thermae and Spa Resort, about a 10-minute walk along the lakeshore from the centre of Bardolino. We were very comfortable indeed as the hotel had lovely rooms, large outdoor swimming pools, a heated indoor pool with thermal waters, extensive gardens, and a spa where some of us indulged! Shopping in the small town was a delight and there were many restaurants. As we were in the middle of a wine-producing region we went to visit a large wine producer – the estate called Dante Alighieri (above) which produces MASI wines that we discovered were available in Vancouver. We spent about one hour following our guide through the estate and grounds following the wine production before tasting the wines, including the specialty wine, Amorone.</p>
<div id="attachment_2923" style="width: 809px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="http://www.vancouveroperaguild.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/5-Nabucco.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-2923" src="http://www.vancouveroperaguild.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/5-Nabucco.jpg" alt="" width="799" height="599" srcset="http://www.vancouveroperaguild.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/5-Nabucco.jpg 799w, http://www.vancouveroperaguild.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/5-Nabucco-300x225.jpg 300w, http://www.vancouveroperaguild.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/5-Nabucco-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 799px) 100vw, 799px" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Nabucco</p></div>
<p>Verona was about a 30-minute ride from Bardolino, so we left late in the afternoon to see the town and have dinner before the opera<em> <strong>Nabucco</strong></em>. The town was crowded with Saturday shoppers and tourists, so many of us went into the arena early to see the stage. As the skies grew darker the audience filed in and up in the higher rows candles were lit! <strong><em>Nabucco</em></strong>, traditionally a biblical opera about the Babylonian Captivity, had been brought forward to the Italian Unification and a few days in 1848 in Milan when a small group of people had tried to revolt against the Austro-Hungarian Empire that ruled them. The Italians in the audience might have followed that but we didn’t! The surtitles in English projected on the upper arena walls gave no clue (I looked it up when I returned) and we could not distinguish between the two sides! However, the visuals were impressive and the singing was lovely.</p>
<div id="attachment_2924" style="width: 842px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="http://www.vancouveroperaguild.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/6-Aida.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-2924" src="http://www.vancouveroperaguild.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/6-Aida.jpg" alt="" width="832" height="624" srcset="http://www.vancouveroperaguild.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/6-Aida.jpg 832w, http://www.vancouveroperaguild.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/6-Aida-300x225.jpg 300w, http://www.vancouveroperaguild.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/6-Aida-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 832px) 100vw, 832px" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Aida</p></div>
<p>The following evening it was <strong><em>Aida</em></strong> and this brought no surprises. It was a special experience where the music and the space, along with a cast of seemingly hundreds of extras, combined to create the greatest spectacle. No one could have failed to be impressed!</p>
<p>The following day we left Italy on that high note indeed! We had had a wonderful operatic experience. We saw three different kinds of operas, Verismo (Lucca), Bel Canto (Pesaro) and Grand Opera (Verona), plus a remarkable <strong><em>Magic Flute</em></strong>. Italian festivals are not the same as going to the opera in Italy–the locations are so much larger than regular theatres and these venues are interesting in themselves. One of the most impressive experiences is the audiences themselves. They were quiet! There was little shuffling, coughing or general noise such as you find in most North American theatres. The audience was knowledgeable – they applauded much less than in the QE but then at the end they showed their appreciation and, even when it was very late, stayed to applaud the artists. It was all very interesting and gave us lovely memories.</p>
