NYC: Mefistofele at the Met
Featuring Alumna: Samantha Hankey

Time Zone: America/New_York
Local Time: Saturday, December 1, 2018 1:00 PM - 4:30 PM

Featured Alumni: Samantha Hankey (MM' 17, BM' 15, Voice)

The spectacular Robert Carsen production returns to the Met for the first time since 2000, with bass-baritone Christian Van Horn as the diabolical title character, tenor Michael Fabiano as Faust, and soprano Angela Meade as Margherita. Mefistofele is the celebrated and only completed opera by Arrigo Boito—who famously collaborated with Verdi on the libretti for Otello and Falstaff.

Prologue

A heavenly choir praises the Lord; Mefistofele appears and mockingly addresses God, apologizing for his lack of a halo. He complains that God’s worthy creation, Man, has become so degenerate that he is not worth tempting any more. A mystical choir asks him if he knows Faust. Mefistofele does indeed and wagers to trap the aging, fanatical scholar. Mefistofele boasts to the Creator that, by ensnaring Faust, he will finally triumph over God. The scene ends with a hymn of praise to the Master of the Heavens.

November 2019

Emi Ferguson (BM ’09, MM ’12, flute; MM ’11, historical performance) and continuo band Ruckus perform J.S. Bach’s Sonata for Flute and Continuo in E Minor, BWV 1034: III. Andante at Harvard University’s Horner Room. The group also recorded this work in their recently released album, Fly the Coop, hailed as “blindingly impressive” by the New York Times, which features new arrangements of Bach’s Flute Sonatas and Keyboard Preludes. You can see them perform the album live on Sunday, November 17 in Upper Manhattan’s Corpus Christi Church.
This video features Juilliard Historical Performance alums Clay Zeller-Townson (MM ’13) on baroque bassoon, Paul Holmes Morton (MM ’16) on theorbo, baroque bassist Doug Balliett (MM ’12), harpist/harpsichordist/organist Parker Ramsay (MM ’17, harp), and Shirley Hunt and Stephen Stubbs on baroque cello and guitar, respectively. Ferguson and Balliett also serve on Juilliard’s Evening Division faculty.
