The Inspector, John Musto’s witty Italian farce, closes the 2011/2012 Season. This comic gem boasts a melodic score and features a large and talented cast of established and versatile American dramatic singers. Basing the work loosely on Gogol’s 19th-century farce, The Government Inspector, Musto once again teams up with librettist Mark Campbell to create a swaggeringly funny tale of bribery, fraud, corruption, (and a little discreet pimping) in 1930s Sicily.
Enriching the Experience – Lecturing at the Rockport Music Festival
| Lectures, family concerts help audiences learn more about the music they enjoy at the Rockport Chamber Music FestivalBy Keith Powers/CorrespondentFri May 22, 2009, 12:07 PM EDT
Rockport - One thing classical music organizations like Rockport Music have learned is that educating an audience — especially younger audiences — is as important as getting them to buy tickets. With cutbacks in public school music education stretching back decades, more and more people need to learn the basics of what makes music great. And audiences that already love the music are always hungry to learn more about their favorite artists and repertory. |

But this fall, Kerwin spent her Thursday nights engaged in a far more daunting task: learning about opera.

| Musicologists are a harmless lot – the stamp collectors of the music world. So, when Boston doctoral student Leigh Maxwell starts running into serious difficulty gathering materials for her dissertation on Spanish composer Enrique Dadi (1877-1949), she wonders what is going on. Two previous Dadi scholars have died violent deaths under mysterious circumstances and one just plain disappeared without a trace. People, from whom she would have expected ready help, take a long time returning phone calls or replying to letters, and offer little or no help when they do. |
