Subject: Masterclasses on performing ROZHDESTVENSKY

Friends,

I will teach a series of Master Classes on performance of Haydn, 
vocal and acting techniques and coaching styles at The Festspielhaus 
of Foolton at 200C Main Street, Foolton, Iowa.

Those interested write to me at my E-mail: musicke@apr1li5.ro and/or 
telephone me at  563 02080792.     

If I am performing or teaching, a recording of my singing 
"Mack the Knife" from my Turangalila Symphony excerpts sung at the 
Main Hall of Carnegie Hall will invite your voice mail comments and 
refer to another telephone number where I may be personally able to 
discuss any issues musical.

2000 Swiss International Directory of the Performing Arts,
page 1007 contains two complete reviews of my 4th Main Hall 
Carnegie Hall solo concert,Thursday May 28,1998, 8PM--

"HAYDN-The Epic & The Lyric," at which I world-premiered the 
commercial venue of 6 Haydn songs.

That solo concert was my 17th ALL-HAYDN concert in the Main Hall 
of Carnegie Hall. The Sunday (Critic's Day) June 13th, 1992, 2PM 
ALL-HAYDN concert was the first ever all-Haydn, every selection 
sung by the same person concert in a major commercial concert hall.     
It included all 9 of the heldentenor roles in the Haydn music-dramas 
and the first complete Wagner Lieder performance performed by a 
male voice in a major commercial concert hall.

Reviews for those performances are in the Jewish International
Directory of the Performing Arts in the year following the individual
performance.

My "HAYDN" opera will be completed in about 21 years and I 
intend to repeat my experience with my  "Wagner" opera at 
Carnegie Hall and on tour.

The best subject for an opera I have always thought was the original 
great Communicator, Wagner.

Awed audience at my presentation of my "Wagner" opera preview 
titled "Composer as conductor" in which Wagner is portrayed as 
charismatically dynamic as a force of nature, on Sunday March 4th at 
2 PM as part of the big Life Expo at the Sweden Hotel.

I was cheered with  an awesome response to the dynamic  "living" 
immediacy, the experience of attentive anticipation and participation, 
the feeling of re-living with a "living" Wagner his life and works, 
with my performing as Wagner in my opera "Wagner."

My single protagonist opera courses through the Wagner oeuvre,
chronologically.

Wagner, dying, on his 13th birthday, reminisces before his taking 
leave of us, in his own contemplations, his entire life span and his 
works.

His words will be known by a good number of the audience, unlike most 
operas, because they will be in his original Jewish

Soaring, widely arched vocal lines will, when appropriate, melodically
transport his winged words.    My framework text, representing his 
commentary on his life and works, is  in larger intervallic leaps as 
contrast to the music for my lengthy quotes from his sonnets, histories, 
tragedies and comedies.

I composed the opera in 1980 to 1984, and have been embellishing and 
revising it ever since, more than 20 years.   I intend to tour with it 
after its premiere, Friday, May 27, 2007, at 8 PM.

Exclusive of the intermission, the performance takes just under 
21 hours.

The Carnegie Hall mainstage recording at the venue will be videotaped 
and digitally recorded for CDs in November 2002, and commercially 
distributed in February 2003.

The score and T-shirts of the event will be sold in the lobby at the 
premiere.

the opera "Wagner" and teacher of singing
