Dear Friends,

Spring is my favorite season here in Boulder. Where else can you ski in the morning, garden in the afternoon and enjoy a live performance in the evening? The weather may be unpredictable, but the richness of the arts in our community is consistently outstanding.

As a patron of CU Presents, you are already familiar with the incredible variety of arts experiences on the CU-Boulder campus. This spring we continue our stellar season, including an enchanting production of the opera Hansel and Gretel, a professional theatrical production of Ray Bradbury’s classic Fahrenheit 451, spectacular chamber

Warm regards,

music from the Takács Quartet, as well as dozens of free performances featuring the up-and-coming students and talented faculty of the College of Music and the Department of Theater & Dance.

This spring, we’re also a proud supporter of the inaugural Boulder Arts Week celebration from March 28 to April 6. This citywide event represents the fi rst large-scale, inclusive celebration of our community’s vibrant arts and cultural offerings. Among the exciting offerings will be theater, dance and music performances, art walks, exhibitions, artist demonstrations and much more.

And of course, with its host of rich artistic and cultural offerings, CU-Boulder will be a big part of Boulder Arts Week. The campus will feature exhibits at the CU Art Museum, a jazz showcase from the College of Music, a comic update of Plautus’ classical Roman play, The Rope, and to top it all off, a sizzling concert by the Eddie Palmieri Salsa Orchestra in Macky on Saturday, April 5.

In other words, we think this is going to be a fantastic beginning for a new Boulder tradition. You can learn more at cupresents.org and boulderartsweek.org.

We hope you’ll join us for this ongoing celebration of the arts at CU and in beautiful Boulder this spring.

Be a part of the inaugural

Boulder Arts WeekMarch 28–April 6

This citywide event will highlight Boulder’s distinguished arts and cultural programming and will include art walks, First Friday, exhibitions, performances,

dance, music, theater, artist demonstrations, lectures, and symposia.

Before the Overture Hänsel und Gretel is considered a world-wide favorite. In fact, it was the first opera transmitted live from the Metropolitan Opera.

Music by Engelbert Humperdinck (1854-1921) was a German composer, best known for Hänsel und Gretel. Humperdinck was born at Siegburg in the Rhine Province

however, he went to Berlin where he was appointed head of a Meister-Schule of composition. His students included the Basque composer Andrés Isasi. In 1914, Humperdinck seems to have applied for the post of director of the Sydney Conservatorium of Music in Australia, but with the outbreak of World War I it became unthinkable for a German to hold that position, and the job went instead to Belgium’s Henri Verbrugghen. Also in 1914, Humperdinck signed the Manifesto of the Ninety-Three, declaring support for German military actions during early World War I. On 5 January 1912, Humperdinck suffered a severe stroke. Though he recovered, his left hand remained permanently paralyzed. He continued to compose, completing Gaudeamus with the help of his son, Wolfram, in 1918. On 26 September 1921, Humperdinck attended a performance of Carl Maria von Weber’s Der Freischütz in Neustrelitz, Wolfram Humperdinck’s first effort as a stage director. He suffered a heart attack during the performance and died the next day from a second heart attack. The Berlin State Opera performed Hänsel und Gretel in his memory a few weeks later.

—excerpted from Wikipedia

Libretto by The text is by Adelheid Wette (the composer’s sister) after the story in the Grimm brothers’ Kinder- und Hausmärchen (1812-14).

and died at the age of 67 in Neustrelitz, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. After receiving piano lessons, Humperdinck produced his first composition at the age of seven. His first attempts at works for the stage were two Singspiele written when he was 13. His parents disapproved of his plans for a career in music and encouraged him to study architecture. Nevertheless, he began taking music classes under Ferdinand Hiller and Isidor Seiss at the Cologne Conservatory in 1872. In 1876, he won a scholarship that enabled him to go to Munich, where he studied with Franz Lachner and later with Josef Rheinberger. In 1879, he won the first Mendelssohn Award given by the Mendelssohn Stiftung (foundation) in Berlin. He went to Italy and became acquainted with Richard Wagner in Naples. Wagner invited him to join him in Bayreuth and during 1880 and 1881 Humperdinck assisted in the production of Parsifal. He also served as music tutor to Wagner’s son, Siegfried. His reputation rests chiefly on his opera Hänsel und Gretel, which he began work on in Frankfurt in 1890. He first composed four songs to accompany a puppet show his nieces were giving at home. Then, using a libretto by his sister Adelheid Wette rather loosely based on the version of the fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm, he composed a Singspiel of 16 songs with piano accompaniment and connecting dialogue. By January 1891 he had begun working on a complete orchestration. The opera premiered in Weimar on 23 December 1893, under the baton of Richard Strauss, who called it “a masterpiece of the highest quality... all of it original, new, and so authentically German.” With its highly original synthesis of Wagnerian techniques and traditional German folk songs, Hänsel und Gretel was an instant and overwhelming success. In 1896 the Kaiser made Humperdinck a Professor and he went to live at Boppard. Four years later,

Hänsel und Gretel

Once upon a time, a poor broom-maker and his wife lived in a lonely cottage in the woods with their two children, Hansel and Gretel. The father (Peter) is off selling his brooms, and mother (Gertrude) is out trying to scavenge food. The children are finding that work is tiresome, especially when dreaming of unattainable goodies. They join in a raucous dance, interrupted by the arrival of their frustrated mother. She sends them out to the forest to pick berries and falls into an exhausted sleep. Presently a jolly, tipsy father returns, having sold his brooms at a good profit. He presents his wife with a basket of solidly good food, then notices that the children aren’t making their usual uproar. When mother confesses where she has sent them, the horrified father relates the legend of the “gobbling Witch-Wife” who lures small children to her lair, bakes them into enchanted gingerbead and eats them at her leisure. The two parents rush off in anxious persuit.

The Witch is on the prowl, and day turns to night. Hansel and Gretel have filled their basket with strawberries, but they squander these in a “cocoo” game. As shadows grow longer and darker, the old beliefs in spirits and demons surface. The sounds of the evening heighten this mood of dread; the wind whispers and moans uncannily, and shadowy bush and hollow take on strange and fearful shapes. Indeed, a messenger from this “parallel universe”

comes to them: The Sandman, who sprinkles his dust over them, wishing them sweet dreams. The youngsters retreat to the hollow of an ancient tree and offer a prayer for 14 guardian angels to watch over their slumber. Curled up together, they fall asleep, and a vision of the wished-for heavenly company enters their dreams.

The Dew Fairy announces daybreak, and Hansel and Gretel realize that they had the identical dream. The stage is miraculously transformed, and they stand before a tantalizing little house made of cake and candy, complete with gingerbread fence. They break off one tasty morsel after another, whereupon the “lady of the house” appears. (This is the Witch, whose true love of children is limited to their alchemical transformation into gingerbread.) The hag shuts Hansel in a cage, feeds him sweets and almonds to fatten him, then tries to entice Gretel to bend into the oven. Gretel pretends not to understand, and when the Witch demonstrates the maneuver, Gretel shoves her in, slams the door, and dances joyously with the liberated Hansel. Gretel uses the Witch’s wand to work some positive magic: the oven and house explode violently, and all the gingerbread children are returned to their original state. These lucky boys and girls bless Hansel and Gretel for their deliverance, just as Father and Mother trudge in. The opera ends with a song of shared praise and thanksgiving.

From the Music Director Nick Carthy

“Wagner for children.” These affectionate words have often been used to describe Hansel and Gretel, one of the best-loved pieces in the opera repertoire.

Wagner was, of course, a huge influence on Humperdinck, who assisted the master at Bayreuth, helping prepare for the first performance of Parsifal (even adding a few measures of his own when Wagner stormed out of the rehearsals, angry that a scene change could not be completed on time.)

Although the spirit of Wagner is very much present in Hansel and Gretel, Humperdinck’s originality and enchanting musical language shine through very clearly.

Hänsel und Gretel, like a lot of Humperdinck’s music, started life as a modest request: his sister Adelheid Wette asked him to write music for some folksongs she had written. This collaboration expanded into a singspiel (a series of musical scenes interspersed with spoken text) and from there it soon blossomed into a full length opera.

The story of Hänsel und Gretel is one of several German fairy tales collected and published as “Children’s and Household Tales” by the Brothers Grimm in the 1810s. Although these tales are now thought of as being almost too dark and frightening for children, the Grimm version is actually a lot less sinister than the original. Adelheid Wette made further revisions to the Grimms’ texts, removing anything she thought would frighten the children too much, injecting much more light and optimism into the story. She replaced the (traditional) wicked stepmother who takes the children into the woods to die, with the childrens’ real mother, an

From the Stage Director Leigh Holman

overwrought parent simply unable to cope with two boisterous children and a headache who, in a moment of rage, sends them into the woods to gather strawberries as a punishment. (The quid pro quo for this change is our willingness to believe that the poor woman has lived on the edge of the wood her whole life not knowing that an evil witch lives there!)

The first performance took place in Weimar in 1893, conducted by no less a personality than the composer Richard Strauss, who described the work as “a masterpiece of the first order.” And it is: Humperdinck intertwines both well-known and original folksongs into music of such freshness and spontaneity, creating a sound world which is perfectly in tune with the drama. The playfulness of the children, the darkness of the woods, the evil witch and the ultimate triumph of good over evil are all beautifully judged, and the music sweeps us along on one of the most exhilarating rides in the history of opera.

“Wagner for children.” If nothing else, these words can remind us that a capacity to appreciate the truly childlike is one of the most important aspects of adulthood.

Just another day in the life of an average, poor, hungry boy—in Germany—in the woods.

Hansel is a normal boy who endures an exceptional 24 hours. Hansel the misfit, Hansel the lazy boy, Hansel the kid who does everything (except what’s expected of him) sees this day as just like any other. He will half-heartedly work, he will play, he will misbehave and he will be punished. Getting lost in the forest was never his intention; nor was sleeping out of doors all night, seeing paranormal beings, encountering a mortal villain—or destroying her.

Like many fairy tales, this one teaches us that if you misbehave, bad things may happen. But you can ultimately

triumph over evil if you have innate goodness and tenacity.I think that one of the reasons we are drawn to the story of Hansel and his sister Gretel, is that the children are smarter than the evil character and succeed in duping her. This is the fantasy of every child and adult alike, no? The psychology is fundamental so we are all drawn to it: No matter how much we mess up, if we do not compromise our true sense of self, we have the chance to save ourselves and perhaps a portion of mankind in the process.

Truthfully, the gingerbread children are not rescued because the siblings set out to risk themselves for others. They are saved because our heroes are clever, smart, self-protecting and bold. Gretel has the brains and Hansel has the brawn to get the job done. They use their strengths together to devise a plan and to execute it. The icing on the cake (—and please do pardon the pun, I couldn’t resist—) is that they not only protect themselves and end the tyranny, but they are also able to essentially erase the past and free all of the other children from their eternal doom. Oh, if only we could do great things like this. Maybe we can. It’s that hope, that belief in the ‘once upon a time,’ that keeps us ever young and ever hopeful. We are all a bit like Hansel—a normal kid on the inside, a normal kid who has the potential to become a hero—even if he stumbles into it.

Strings Attached!

Many in the audience enjoying Hänsel und Gretel will do so with some association to past times. Perhaps it’s the return to the story line with all the children. It might just be the gorgeous music in Hänsel and Gretel’s little prayer as they fall asleep, lost in the forest.

One’s heart strings might be stirred by these children and their vulnerability. In protecting our children and ourselves from the unknown “forests” of life, we hope for a happy, safe ending.

Of course, as with so many musical scores, beautiful melodies emerge whether by the orchestra, singers or both. We relish these times as they transport us away from our daily lives and challenges.

With the advent of live broadcasts, we can enjoy a Metropolitan Opera production from a front row seat in a local movie theater. Certainly, the price of such a ticket is considerably less than in New York, and, there’s the possibility of popcorn too!

While these broadcasts provide exposure for those new to opera or for existing patrons, a downside exists. The cost of mounting opera productions remains high even with the increase in audience size, causing many to give serious consideration to the future. Such was the case with the somewhat recent closing of the New York City Opera.

At CU, the Opera Studies Program hasn’t escaped the economic impact of staging three productions annually. Maintaining these quality productions within a comprehensive university and highly ranked College of Music comes with purse strings attached.

In order to proactively address the financial impact of these productions, the Vocal Music Advisory Board is embarking on developing an Endowment for the CU Opera Program. Once completed, this endowment will permanently sustain and enhance our program to the benefit of both students and audiences.

For now, let your heart strings be plucked a bit as you enjoy Hänsel und Gretel. As we have more details about this emerging endowment, we’ll keep you informed. Yes, we hope you’ll join us in this effort as we loosen our purse strings to support our Opera Studies Program.

Martha (Marty) Coffin Evans, Ed.D Chair, Vocal Music Advisory Board

For information about contributing to the opera program, including the opera endowment, please contact Lissy Garrison, Senior Director of Development—Music, Arts and Culture at [email protected], or 303-492-6291.
