Shakespeare’s plays form the basis of some of the greatest operas, and Charles Gounod’s Romeo and Juliet is no exception. The world’s greatest love story is told in unforgettable duets, radiant melodies, and powerful choruses. While Gounod is best known for Faust , his setting of Shakespeare’s “most excellent tragedy” is a stunning showcase for its two young stars. With a stellar cast and a contemporary production from Simon Godwin , the Artistic Director of the Shakespeare Theatre Company, this is an exciting new take on a classic.

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 ]

[17] Cinebloom was made to be cheaper but all of the filters seem to sold out from time to time, and I think it’s pushing up prices. None of them are cheap 🙂 Please Note: To ensure fairness for all NY customers, any reservation with departure dates outside the 9-month Maximum Window cannot be changed or cancelled until 18 days after the reservation was made.

Paul Kellogg to Retire From New York City Opera and Glimmerglass Posts". Playbill Arts. September 15, 2005. These filters are made by several manufacturers these days and they come in different strengths. Filters with the same nominal strength from different manufacturers do not necessarily offer the same degree of the effect though, which makes it especially hard to find the best one for your needs. The 2015 festival included Mozart's The Magic Flute, Verdi's Macbeth, Vivaldi's Catone in Utica, and Bernstein's Candide. [16] This translates into light entering the lens through this sparkly filter, then hitting the sensor, delivering a bit of shimmer and glow to whatever you photograph. Indeed, everything I shot looked immaculate. Putting it to The Test 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 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. Until 2011, the company operated under the name Glimmerglass Opera. The company presented its first season in the summer of 1975, when four performances of La bohème were staged in the auditorium of the Cooperstown High School. In the years since, it has grown considerably and now offers more than 40 performances of four operas, nearly always in new productions, each summer. While it’s softening what’s in front of you by lowering contrast, adding haze, and theoretically nerfing clarity, it’s also boosting the image quality. Because Tiffen Glimmer Glass has these sparkles on the front of the lens, they add little specular highlights. And for anyone too young in their photographic journey to understand, let us explain. The quality and taste of the whole dish are limited by the worst ingredients. For that reason I would never use a wine for cooking that I would not dare to drink pure.

Glimmerglass is proud to present our annual youth opera in the Alice Busch Opera Theater again this season. This year’s youth opera, The Rip Van Winkles , is a world premiere composed by Ben Morris with libretto by Laura Fuentes . This one-hour opera is set in a secluded upstate town away from all the hustle and bustle, but suspiciously short on cell reception.
