The Brooklyn College Conservatory of Music Presents
Brooklyn College Opera Theater
Leos Janąĉek's
The Cunning Little
Vixen
Richard Barrett, director
This opera came
late in Janacek's life - he was 71 when
be began the undertaking -- a story of
unrequited love. Although the
libretto is based on a comic story by Těsnohlķdek,
it reflects a love Leos had for the much
younger and married Kamila Stösslovį.
In the opera, Leos transforms himself
into the Forester and Kamila into the
Vixen. Janąĉek uses the cast of
animals so that the opera is heavily
aligorical, touching on very adult
themes of longing for freedom, even
feminism, and murder.
The original story was
published as a serialized novella and was
much more comic in nature, whereas Janąĉek's
opera is much more philosophical and
brooding and he reflects on the eternal
questions of the circle of life, love and
death, as is the wont of an artist of his
age. Saturday, December 6, 2008 - 7pm

The
Brooklyn College Theater Department Presents
Spain
By Jim Knable
Directed by Ava Geffen
Spain
tells the story of a recently divorced young
woman who deals with her abandonment in an
innovative way: she dreams up a
sixteenth-century Spanish conquistador and,
through him, is able to find passion,
vengeance, and peace that she never knew she
had. The play, which premiered at The Woolly
Mammoth Theatre in 2006, and was described
by The Washington Post as bearing "great
similarities to Alice in Wonderland and The
Wizard of Oz in its rendering of a bizarre
dreamscape where truth lies hidden in the
madness."
Jim Knable, a self-proclaimed
Troubadour Playwright, has been produced at
theaters throughout the country, including
Manhattan Class Company, Soho Rep, New
Jersey Rep, Playwrights Theatre of New
Jersey, Phoenix Theatre of Indianapolis, The
Hangar Theatre, Actor's Express in Atlanta,
NYU, Yale University and New York's Summer
Play Festival. Wednesday thru Saturday, Dec 10, 11, 12, 13, 2008 - 7:30pm

The Suzuki Solo Recital
The Brooklyn College Preparatory Center for the Performing Arts was founded in 1978 as the pre-college component of The Brooklyn College Conservatory of Music and the Brooklyn College Department of Theater. The Prep Center offers classes in music, theater, and dance. Our programs are for children beginning at age three and a half and for adults. We offer hands on, skills based education to enable our students to fully develop their talents. Our professional faculty are experienced teachers who are dedicated to letting each student explore their chosen field, while teaching them the technical skills that help to hone the individual's performance ability.
The hours of study, practice and dedication to their instrument is realized in these much anticipated Student Recitals, where the young performer can put forth their talent in front of an appreciative and many times amazed audience.
