Completing Turandot Pt. 4 - New Tin Themes
I'm a composer, so I like to compose my own themes--and not just reuse Puccini's. But if you listen closely, some of mine have subtle musical connections to his that help connect our new ending to the rest of the opera.
Side note: now you know why I'm a composer, and not a singer/pianist!
Washington National Opera's production of 'Turandot', with the new ending by Christopher Tin and Susan Soon He Stanton, opens at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts on May 11, 2024. Directed by Francesca Zambello and starring Ewa Plonka/Marjorie Owens (Turandot) and Yonghoon Lee/Jonathan Burton (Calaf), conducted by Speranza Scappucci.
Turandot was Giacomo Puccini's final opera, but he died before he could finish it, leaving scattered sketches. On the 100th-anniversary of his death, this newly commissioned ending seeks to resolve one of the biggest plot dilemmas in the opera canon: how to justify the love between the opera's two adversaries: the steely Princess Turandot, and the heroic Prince Calaf.

Completing Turandot Pt. 3 - Calaf and Nessun Dorma
Переглядів 11 тис.3 місяці тому
"Nessun Dorma" is one of the most famous arias in all of opera, but if you think about it, it doesn't exactly portray its singer, Calàf, in the best light. He's solved Turandot's riddles, and is ready to take her as his unwilling bride and now, he's gloating about it. So how do we make him transform from an arrogant young man, into a mature adult that even Turandot can fall in love with? By rec...
Completing Turandot Pt. 2 - Puccini's Leftover Sketches
Переглядів 2,4 тис.3 місяці тому
On his deathbed, Puccini left scattered sketches to be used for the completion of his final opera 'Turandot'. But what do you do when the libretto has been rewritten, and those sketches no longer match the words? In this video I discuss my approach to using as many Puccini fragments as possible: through recontextualizing them. By doing so we create a dialogue, and tackle one of the thornier pro...

    Christopher, I don't know if you'll ever get to read this but I'll leave it here for the aliens or the future A.I. to find. Christopher Tin, you are one of the great bridgebuilders of our time. Connecting videogames to reality, letters to music, prayers to song, the bridges you build allow a flow of admiration and affection to connect with aspects of our modern lives that would otherwise be quite separate and insulated. It was very emotional for me to see so many videos of Africans singing Baba Yetu. Entire villages sometimes. A song that was "just" an inspiring main menu banger for me, but it had such visible impact on others. To this day, I go on an hours long Baba Yetu sidetrack on youtube sometimes. And with Sogno di Volare, the dreams and fantasy of a genius long ago. The lyrics are hopeful, longing but the music crecendos in what I can only describe as a reveal of success, a dream fulfilled. The singers recite the dreams of old but the musicians reveal our human capacity for success. So a bridge not only between letter and music but within that same piece, a bridge between the times. We can't always see the bridges you build but we travel them nonetheless and they nurture us. Inspire us. Thank you.
