A child’s imagination gives rise to knights, sorcerers, monsters, and magic in this new take on the most fantastical of Handel’s operas. With hit tunes, coloratura showstoppers, and battling countertenors, Rinaldo has something for everyone. Beethoven called Handel “the greatest composer that ever lived,” and works like the “Hallelujah Chorus” have cemented his place in history. But his dramatic genius was never more on display than in his over 40 operas, of which Rinaldo ranks as one of the greatest. The Glimmerglass Festival Announces 2012 Season" (Press release).

The Glimmerglass Festival is a summer destination in Upstate New York where audiences from across the country and the world come to experience world-class opera, musical theater, and cultural events in a beautiful, relaxing setting. Attracting over 30,000 people per summer, the Festival is a professional non-profit opera company dedicated to presenting new fully staged productions, including a work of American musical theater, each year. These four productions are supplemented by special performances, cabarets, concerts, lectures, and symposiums throughout the season. The company has a longstanding commitment to creating an inclusive, equitable, and diverse experience for all, including a commitment to investing in the next generation of theater professionals. Moment Cinebloom 10% is the most extreme filter, it gives the most bloom and the removes the most contrast from hightlights and shadows. Could the lower contrast be useful if you are shooting in high dynamic range situations, I think so. The Glimmerglass Festival (formerly known as Glimmerglass Opera) is an American opera company. Founded in 1975 by Peter Macris, the Glimmerglass Festival presents an annual season of operas at the Alice Busch Opera Theater on Otsego Lake eight miles (13km) north of Cooperstown, New York, United States. The summer-only season usually consists of four productions performed in rotating repertory. Glimmerglass is well known for producing new, lesser-known, and rare works, many of which in years past have been co-produced with the New York City Opera. [1] It is the second-largest summer opera festival in the United States, currently led by artistic and general director Robert Ainsley, who succeeded Francesca Zambello in 2022. [2] History [ edit ]I approach my first season leading this great company full of hopes, aspirations, curiosity, and passion–all feelings shared by the characters whose stories are told so vividly in our 2023 productions,” said Ainsley. “ Romeo and Juliet is a stunning showcase for its two young stars, Rinaldo opens a conversation about how we interpret the complex legacy of the Crusades in the 21st century, Candide and La bohème offer the opportunity for joy and celebration, and our world premiere youth opera, The Rip Van Winkles , is a modern story about connectivity and the impact of technology on our daily lives. We are delighted to present a season that spans the entire history of opera, engaging audiences in the power of story and music as cultural forces with the means to create concrete change.” Looking closely at it the filter looks like a lens’ front element that hasn’t been cleaned in a very long time. These filters are supposed to add a bit of glow to bright parts of the picture, similar to lenses with undercorrected spherical aberration. Many of the older fast Leica lenses are famous for this effect. s season featured Puccini's La bohème, Sondheim's Sweeney Todd, Rossini's La gazza ladra (billed as The Thieving Magpie), and Ward's The Crucible. [17] A graduate of the Washington National Opera Cafritz Young Artist Program, tenor Duke Kim will make his Glimmerglass debut as Romeo, having performed the role with The Florentine Opera and Opera San Antonio. Soprano Magdalena Kuźma, a current member of the Metropolitan Opera’s Lindemann Young Artist Development Program, will also make her company and role debut as Juliet. Young Artists baritone Olivier Zerouali and bass-baritone Sergio Martinez will perform Mercutio and Friar Laurent respectively. Guest artists Stefano de Peppo and Meredith Arwady return to the stage as Count Capulet and Gertrude. The foggy effect these filters give at night isn’t overly easy to replicate in post – at least for me – but in many situations the K&F 1/2 also yielded unexpected and/or undesirable (side) effects. The number of pictures where I thought it actually added something to them was rather small and life is definitely too short to always take a picture with and without filter to blend them together in post afterwards.

The 2023 Festival will open with revivals of Giacomo Puccini’s La bohème and Leonard Bernstein’s Candide , celebrating the success of the company’s past decade. New takes on Charles Gounod’s masterwork Romeo and Juliet and G.F. Handel’s groundbreaking Rinaldo round out the Festival’s mainstage offerings. The season continues the company’s tradition of staging three operas and one work of American musical theater, performed with full orchestra and no sound amplification. The 2023 Glimmerglass Festival will run from July 7 – August 20, 2023. Every mainstage production will be accompanied by the Glimmerglass Festival Orchestra and is staged in the Alice Busch Opera Theater. Nestled on the northern banks of Lake Otsego in Upstate New York, the 918-seat theater is an integral part of the Glimmerglass experience. Its casual elegance, beautiful surroundings, and excellent acoustics provide an intimate, one-of-a-kind operatic encounter. I will try to demonstrate some of those digital effects here sometime in the not too far future. Let‘s see how it turns out. Tiffen Glimmer Glass 1 is the least extreme filter, it gives a small amount of bloom and pulls down highlight contrast slightly, but shadows seems to be the same. Good for all around subjects like portraits where you don’t want a too extreme look, but still want to soften those strong highlights.The Glimmerglass Festival's Alice Busch Opera Theater, which opened in June 1987, was built on 43 acres (17ha) of farmland donated by Tom Goodyear, its first chairman. The 914-seat theater [12] is notable for its pastoral setting, for being the first American opera house built since 1966, and for its sliding walls, closed only while singers are on-stage and in foul weather. The theater was designed by Hardy Holzman Pfeiffer Associates. EDUCATION: Chris graduated Magna Cum Laude from Adelphi University with a degree in Communications in Journalism in 2009.

You can blur any sharp image, but the other way only works in action movies where crops of single frames of 240p/12fps surveillance cameras magically sharpen up to the same quality as if that cropped area was taken with a slightly stopped down 400mm/2.8. All of these filters seem to contain a higher density of very small implanted particles/defects. Those lead to a mixture of diffractive and scattering effects in the path of the light travelling through the optical system. Without going too much into detail most of those effects will lead to blurred light sources where the blurring might be well approximated by the superposition of some gaussian blurs with a filter specific distribution of different radii (it‘s not exactly gaussian, but close enough to keep that simple model — which is also implemented in most photographic/image manipulating software). Hence, yes, theoretically one should be able to recreate these effects quite easily with some work. Paul Kellogg to Retire From New York City Opera and Glimmerglass Posts". Playbill Arts.

The Young American Artists program, established in 1988, brings singers in the first stages of their professional careers to study and perform at Glimmerglass. These young artists are chosen annually from hundreds of applicants from throughout the United States. In addition to rehearsing and performing, Young Artists receive musical coaching, attend classes in diction and acting, and are given instruction in such non-performing skills as audition techniques, role preparation, and the business aspects of managing a career. Administrators from many of the world's leading opera houses visit Glimmerglass throughout the summer and hear the Young Artists in performance. In the course of the summer each Young Artist gives a solo song recital at venues in Cooperstown and nearby Cherry Valley, a feature of the Glimmerglass season that has become extremely popular with opera patrons and the local community.
