“Says Truck Sped Away From Him,” Toronto Star. December 14, 1942. Page 2. ---- Charged with theft of a motor truck and a quantity of merchandise from the Martin Transport, Fleet St., last Sept. 29. Frank Connolly pleaded not guilty before Judge James Parker and a jury in general sessions today.

Philip Ruthig and Stanley Owens, Martin employees, identified accused as the man who, on the evening of Sept. 29 drove a loaded truck out of the warehouse. Ruthig said he followed Connolly and the truck along Bathurst St. until he lost it. Percy F. Merritt, Martin claims’ agent, valued the merchandise on the truck at about $3,000. He said about $80 worth of articles were missing from the truck when it was recovered.

Pte. Albert Braham said he was driving on Bathurst St. when he noticed some goods fall of a truck. He speeded up in an attempt to overtake the truck, intending to tell the driver, but the truck gathered speed and outdistanced him.

‘I eventually forced him into a fence at King and Strachan,’ he stated. ‘Then I took him to an army guardhouse and notified the police.’

Connolly said he had been drinking and could no remember what had happened. The case went to the jury.

The Limejuice Mystery or Who Spat in Grandfather’s Porridge? (1930)

The Limejuice Mystery or Who Spat in Grandfather’s Porridge is a british marionette short film directed by Jack Harrison and produced by Joseph Seiden with music by Philip Braham. The film starts in an opium den where a woman is forced to dance for the inebriated opium users. Things escalate into a fight, causing one of the patrons to pull a gun and kill almost everyone, and Herlock Sholmes, an obvious parody of Sherlock Holmes, I’d called in to solve the murder mystery.

The film is notable for being one of the earliest known puppetry films to feature synchronised sound.

Philip Braham - Different Histories of Light

Top and Middle: 1.1 My first impression was confusion and the all different types of photos being taken. So much diversity, but why some of these things were photographed.

1.2 This is a series because the subject is in the same spot in all four pictures (my eye is drawn to the same spot in all four pictures). They also have the same lighting because it is dark in all four pictures.

1.3 The title makes me think of the different times of the day and how lighting affects how you see things and/or life. It influences my reading because it makes me think more about the history of the lighting and how it changed over time.

1.4 These images are temporal because the entire series depends on time and location of the photo; it influences it because it makes you think about how different the photos are because of the time and subjects.

1.5 My first impressions changed because it made me think more about what the pictures mean and why it is so important to think about how ideas change because of lighting, time and location.

Beautiful Pictures of Something Ugly

For the series, I decided to take beautiful pictures of something ugly. My decision was to photograph trash on my way home from school. London is a beautiful place with so many beautiful things, but as I was walking home from class one day I noticed how much trash there are on the streets and decided to photograph it as a series. These 3 pictures work as a series because they were all taken in the same area of London and have the same subject and angle. They are all taken from eye level with what I was photographing, which makes this series work. I also like that they are all just random things I found on the street as I was walking. They have absolutely no meaning alone, they only make sense when they are in the series I created. Overall, I think this series is beautiful pictures of something ugly because I took pictures of trash, graffiti, and random things I found on the street, but I managed to make the photos look good even though the subject wasn’t ideal.

Photo Series in Tate Modern

Bottom Left, Middle: 1.1 Goldin is trying to show her life by these pictures. She is telling a story about how she struggled with life and how she was abused and not treated right until she left home and never looked back.

1.2 Techniques being used in these photos are real images. They might be staged but they all definitely happened and I think that is what makes these pictures so well done and real. Also the lighting and angle makes you feel as though the viewer is actually there taking the pictures.

1.3 Yes, they are very pretty to look at and I like having to think about the backstory as to why Goldin would be taking these photos in the first place.

1.4 Yes, Goldin wants to show that things can change for the better, and the difference between the photos in the series really shows that things can get better with time and effort.

1.5 It makes me think more about why she made the series in the first place, which is because she wanted to photograph her life after her sister killed herself. When you look at these images as a series, you notice that all the subjects are different but the message is the same.

1.6 It made me feel like I knew the artist a little more even though her photography made me feel like I knew her without the caption.

Bottom Right: 2.1 The artist is trying to show daily life in the town that they live in.

2.2 The artist is using different lighting, different angles to show that life is different in different part of the town they are from, depending on which part of town they want to photograph.

2.3 I would consider these images very average to look at. They aren't very aesthetic to look at and they don't seem to have that deep of a meaning in my opinion.

2.4 Yes, they are very obviously showing the daily life in this town with the images of the barber shop or the grocery store. The artist did a good job photographing the city and different areas of it.

2.5 When I look at the series as a whole, it makes me think about how many things there are to do in this town and how different people do different things around the town and how everyone is living their own lives.

2.6 I do not have the backstory of the artist as of right now, I am sorry.

*Disclaimer: I was only able to put two pictures from the first series and one from the second because Tumblr has a set amount of pictures allowed in a post and I would surpass it.

Upcoming Performances by Dame Sarah Connolly

[NOTE: this post is now out of date. Check the schedule tag on my blog for the most recent version of this list.]

After the jump: an unofficial schedule of Dame Sarah Connolly’s future performances. Those of you in Britain may catch a performance in London, Oxford, Worcester, Royal Tunbridge Wells, Buxton, Deal, or Lewes. Those on the Continent may see her in Berlin, Vienna, Brussels, Barcelona, Rotterdam, Stuttgart, Bordeaux, Vilabertran (near Figueres, Catalunya), or La Foce (Siena). Plus, Dame Sarah’s agency has mentioned future performances in Paris, Madrid, and New York, though no details are available yet. Don’t live near one of these places? Take in a concert from afar: I am adding online broadcast and livestream details as they become available.

This is not an authoritative list. These are the upcoming performances by Dame Sarah Connolly that I have been able to learn about from Dame Sarah's website (not currently being updated), her agent's website (Askonas Holt), Operabase, Bachtrack, Dame Sarah's Twitter, and generally ferreting around the web.

Some of these listings are not yet officially confirmed; you should of course check official sources before making plans and be aware that cast changes and cancellations can happen at any time.

I have added links to venue, ticketing, and broadcast information where available. Tips on new information are always welcome! Please contact me via email (verdiprati [at] selveamene [dot] com), Tumblr messaging, or ask box (plain prose only in the ask box; anything with links or an email address will get eaten by Tumblr filters) with corrections or additions.

Brett Dean, Hamlet (Gertrude) at Glyndebourne, last performance on July 6, 2017. Also starring Allan Clayton (Hamlet), Barbara Hannigan (Ophelia), Rod Gilfry (Claudius), Kim Begley (Polonius), and John Tomlinson (Ghost of Old Hamlet). With the London Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Vladimir Jurowski.

[Livestream] The July 6 performance of Hamlet is scheduled for livestreaming to cinemas and online; the online stream will be free to watch and will remain online for a week. The streaming of the first part of the performance will be delayed about an hour in order to avoid imposing Glyndebourne’s traditional 90-minute “long interval” on online and cinema audiences; the second part will be relayed live or with minimal delay, according to my understanding. Hat tip to Avis Melodia for mentioning the livestream in the Sarah Connolly fan group on Facebook.

Recital at the Deal Festival, St George’s Church, Deal, Kent, July 8, 2017. With Joseph Middleton in a program titled “Love and Life.” Update: although Dame Sarah’s recital is still listed on the festival website as of this writing, the Astor Community Theatre has announced that she has withdrawn from the festival on advice of her doctor. Ruby Hughes will appear in recital with Joseph Middleton instead. Update update: although the recital date has come and gone, I want to note that I belatedly found an announcement about Dame Sarah’s withdrawal and Hughes’ substitution on the Deal Festival website.

Wagner, Das Rheingold (Fricka) at Tanglewood in Lenox, Massachusets, July 15, 2017. Update: as of July 4, Dame Sarah has been replaced by Stephanie Blythe in the role of Fricka. The BSO site has been updated to read, “Due to ill health, and on the advice of her doctor, Dame Sarah Connolly regretfully has had to withdraw from the BSO's performance of  Das Rheingold.” Operawire took note of the withdrawal and WBUR has published a short interview with Blythe about her stepping in. In a concert performance with the Boston Symphony Orchestra conducted by Andris Nelsons. Also starring Thomas J. Mayer (Wotan), Kim Begley (Loge), David Cangelosi (Mime), Jochen Schmeckenbecker (Alberich), Morris Robinson (Fasolt), Ain Anger (Fafner), Malin Christensson (Freia), Jacqueline Echols (Woglinde), Catherine Martin (Wellgunde), Renée Tatum (Flosshilde), Patricia Bardon (Erda), David Butt Philip (Froh), and Ryan McKinney (Donner).

[Broadcast] As usual, this Saturday night concert by the BSO will be broadcast live by WCRB [update: without Dame Sarah’s participation] and presumably will be made available for listening on demand afterward.

Recital at the Buxton Festival, Buxton, July 22, 2017. Update: Dame Sarah is no longer listed on the Buxton program; she seems to have been replaced by Sir Thomas Allen, who will be performing in recital with Joseph Middleton.

Solo performance in a fundraising concert for Common and Kind, Union Chapel, Islington, London, July 25, 2017. Update: Common and Kind has tweeted that “Sarah Connolly has a bruised cord and is unable to sing indefinitely,” which I take to mean that she has withdrawn from this performance. 

Torsten Rasch, A Welsh Night at the Three Choirs Festival, Worcester, July 26, 2017. Update: Susan Bickley’s name now appears on the Three Choirs website in place of Dame Sarah’s. In a concert with Strauss’s Metamorphosen and Janáček’s Glagolitic Mass. Conducted by Frank Beermann. A newly orchestrated version of Rasch’s song sequence A Welsh Night will be premiered at the 2017 Three Choirs Festival; Sarah Connolly performed the original version for mezzo-soprano and piano with Joseph Middleton at their 2015 Three Choirs recital.

Recital at Incontri in Terra di Siena, La Foce, Siena, Italy, August 5, 2017. With accompanist Julius Drake. Songs by Mahler, Berlioz, Poulenc, and Debussy. This is a small festival and advance booking is recommended.

Recital at the Schubertíada Vilabertran, Vilabertran (near Figueres), Catalunya, August 24, 2017. With Malcolm Martineau. Songs by Strauss, Zemlinsky, Eisler, Korngold, Copland, and Britten. Broadcast possibility: many recitals from the 2015 Schubertíada Vilabertran, where Connolly made her festival debut, were broadcast either live or deferred on Catalunya Música. There is a PDF on the CatMúsica website showing this recital on the schedule of summer festival recordings being made by the radio station, but it does not give an air date; the recital does not appear on this PDF schedule of broadcasts for July and August. We’ll have to keep an eye out for it in the coming months.

[New!] Songs by Bridge and Brahams in a joint recital with Nils Mönkemeyer (viola) and Marcelo Amaral (piano) at the Liederhalle, Stuttgart, September 14, 2017. Sponsored by the Internationale Hugo-Wolf-Akademie.

Mahler, Symphony No. 2, “Resurrection,” with the Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin, September 20, 2017. Vladimir Jurowski conducts and Maria Bengtsson sings the soprano part. Also with the Rundfunkchor Berlin. Tickets go on sale July 17, 2017.

[Broadcast TBC] No details yet, but the Deutschlandradio Kultur logo appears on the page under the phrase “Concert with,” so I am assuming the concert will be broadcast either live or deferred.

Recital at Wigmore Hall, London, September 29, 2017. With Malcolm Martineau. The program includes songs by Strauss, Zemlinsky, Eisler, Korngold, Copland, and Britten.

Elgar, Sea Pictures, Royal Tunbridge Wells, October 1, 2017. With the Royal Tunbridge Wells Symphony Orchestra conducted by Roderick Dunk. In a concert with orchestral works by Kodály and Brahms.

Mahler, Symphony No. 3 at the Opéra National de Bordeaux, October 6 and 8, 2017. With the Orchestre National Bordeaux Aquitaine and the women of the Chœur de l'Opéra National de Bordeaux. Conducted by Paul Daniel.

Mahler, Das Lied von der Erde at Kings Place, London, October 14, 2017. With Andrew Staples and the Aurora Orchestra conducted by Nicholas Collon. Das Lied will be played in an arrangement by Iain Farrington for sixteen instruments. This concert, oddly enough, is part of the orchestra’s “Mozart’s Piano” series, pairing Das Lied with Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 11.

G. Mahler, Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen, plus songs by A. Mahler, Zemlinsky and Korngold at the Oxford Lieder Festival, St John the Evangelist, Oxford, October 20, 2017. With Eugene Asti. This recital program perfectly fits the festival’s theme for 2017, “The Last of the Romantics—Mahler and Fin-de-Siècle Vienna.”

Wagner, Tristan und Isolde (Brangäne) at the Gran Teatre del Liceu, Barcelona, November 28 and December 2, 4, 7, 10, 12, and 15, 2017. With Stefan Vinke (Tristan), Iréne Theorin (Isolde), Albert Dohmen (Marke), Greer Grimsley (Kurwenal), et al., in a production directed by Àlex Ollé and previously seen in Lyon. Musical direction by Josep Pons.

Handel, Ariodante (title role) at the Wiener Staatsoper, February 24 and 26 and March 1, 4, and 8, 2018. With Chen Reiss (Ginevra), Hila Fahima (Dalinda), Christphe Dumaux (Polinesso), Rainer Trost (Lurcanio), and Wilhelm Schwinghammer (Il Re di Scozia). In a new production directed by David McVicar with music is supplied by Les Arts Florissants conducted by William Christie. Note: although Christie, LAF, and many of the soloists from this Ariodante will be performing the opera in a concert tour following its staging in Vienna, Dame Sarah is not scheduled to join them; Kate Lindsey has been announced to take over the title role for the tour.

[Livestream] The opera is scheduled for livestreaming on Sunday, March 4. There is a fee of €14 to watch the livestream.

Mahler, Symphony No. 8 “Symphony of a Thousand” at de Doelen, Rotterdam, March 23 and 25, 2018. With the Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Yannick Nézet-Séguin. The other soloists are Angela Meade, Erin Wall, Lisette Oropesa Erin Morley, Mihoko Fujimura, Michael Schade, Markus Werba, and Christof Fischesser. On choral duty are the Groot Omroep Koor, Rotterdam Symphony Chorus, Orfeon Donostiarra, and Nationaal Kinderkoor. Tickets go on sale May 15.

Mahler, Symphony No. 8 “Symphony of a Thousand” at BOZAR Centre for Fine Arts, Brussels, March 24, 2018. With the Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra; same details as the Rotterdam performances listed above. Broadcast possibility: this concert is part of the 2018 Klarafestival sponsored by the Klara radio station, so it seems like a good candidate for broadcast.

[Masterclasses] Teaching duties for the Britten-Pears Young Artist Programme at Snape Maltings in Aldeburgh, England, March 23-April 1, 2018. A course on Handel’s Theodora to be co-taught with conductor Christian Curnyn. Although this doesn’t really count as a performance by Sarah Connolly, I am adding it to my “unofficial schedule” of her work with the thought that fans who live in the area might want to attend some of the public masterclasses Sarah Connolly will be teaching or the culminating performance by young artists she will have coached. (Note that the first weekend of this program clashes with the Mahler 8 concerts in Rotterdam, above; it is possible the students will start out working with Christian Curnyn and will pick up with Sarah Connolly a few days into the program.)

Handel, Giulio Cesare (title role) at Glyndebourne, June 10 through July 28, 2018. In a revival of the legendary 2005 production by David McVicar, with the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment conducted by William Christie. With Joélle Harvey as Cleopatra, plus Christophe Dumaux and Patricia Bardon reprising the roles of Tolomeo and Cornelia respectively; also starring John Moore (Achilla) and Kangmin Justin Kim (Nireno).

Wagner, Das Rheingold and Die Walküre (Fricka in both) at the Royal Opera, London, September 24 through October 28, 2018. A revival of Keith Warner’s Ring Cycle, with Antonio Pappano conducting. For cast and date details, see the ROH web pages linked above.

[Details TBA] Future appearances at the Metropolitan Opera in New York, the Opéra national de Paris, and the Teatro Réal in Madrid are mentioned in the current bio that can be downloaded from Dame Sarah’s page on the Askonas Holt website (click “Publicity Pack”).

Previous versions of this list can be found under the schedule tag on this blog. This version published on July 2, 2017. Edited July 4 to reflect Dame Sarah’s withdrawal from the Deal Festival and Tanglewood, and to add a link to the Saint John the Evangelist website.

Reading a Photographic Series

A History of Light, Philip Braham

First Impression

My first impression to these photographs was the beauty of them with the soft lights the bright, streaking stars and the flat landscapes they really bring out the horizon. I also was intrigued by the contrast between the natural light of the stars and the artificial light coming from the towns and I thought they contrasted very nicely. 

Themes

All of these images have the theme of artificial light vs natural light and this is shown by the split of land and sky and white and yellow lights. There is also movement throughout in the sky shown by the streaks the stars made as they move across the frame and the use of a long exposure. Each of these images also has a focal point in the middle which is either some trees or a rock or other natural occurrence. 

Title

The title, A History of Light, really made me attempt to interpret the themes I was noticing. It made me think of the comparison between the natural light and the man made light and how light has evolved over time as each image contrasts the two light sources. The title also made me focus more on the light when I had been focusing on the landscape slightly more. 

Sequencing 

To me the sequencing did not seem too important to understanding the series but I did notice it seemed to get slightly later in the night and the star movement seemed more noticeable as you got to the fourth photograph. 

Last Impressions/Self Assessment

Through thinking of all these questions I feel I got a better understanding of the image as a group and not each individual image just being beautiful. The images worked together to show the contrast between the natural light of the stars and the bright artificial lights of the town and I may not have seen this had I only seen one of the images.
