Metropolitan Opera Season
Twenty-two operas from New York's Metropolitan Opera House
(21) PUCCINI: Il Trittico, three one-act operas
Puccini's trilogy of contrasting one-act operas was a long time in the making. The idea first occurred to Puccini in 1900, right after the premiere of Tosca, but his powerful publisher Ricordi argued against it. After composing Madama Butterfly in 1904, Puccini envisioned a night of one-acts based on the stories of Maxim Gorky, bard of the Russian underworld. Puccini was drawn to Gorky's tales about Russia's poor, but couldn't find a story that struck him as dramatic enough for the evening's finale

(2) "Songs like tiny hammers hurled at bevelled mirrors in empty halls" - The '60s Recordings
Rebecca Blundell looks at Joni Mitchell's early song-writing, focussing on the late '60s recordings. At the time Mitchell's lyrics were mainly very candid accounts of her love-life and descriptions of the places she visited. Her philosophy of life, skill as a wordsmith and use of idiosyncratic guitar tunings are all in evidence. Selections from Song to a Seagull; Clouds; Ladies of the Canyon and Blue (RNZ)
