What an international Day! SPIFFS International Folkfest in St. Petersburg's Vinoy Park! Susanne Nielsen visited with the German American Society Pinellas Club members who were at work to serve from Potato pancakes to Strudl, the best in German foods. She also met with Mary Stenov at the Russian tent.
The parade featured the first Mongolian family in authentic dress on a not so hot sunny day, and many, many beautiful costumes from countries like Vietnam, India, Serbia, Peru, Africa, Native American tribes and many more. The printed program shows all of these costumes and their history. After the parade Susanne sampled foods from many different nations and watched the Naturalization ceremony when many new immigrants had the pleasure of being sworn in to take the oath of US citizenship on the stage of the SPIFFS Folk festival.
Oktoberfest Nachlese
Liebe Freunde der Deutschen Funksendung!
Was war das fuer ein Monat, der Oktober 2011 ! Mit meinem Produzenten Bill besuchte ich alle Oktoberfeste in West Florida und sprach mit vielen Deutschen und Deutsch-Amerikanern. Begenungen gab es mit guten alten Freunden und auch mit langjaehrigen Hoerern. In Erinnerung rief sich ein ehemaliger Seemann, der mich vor ca. 15 Jahren oft anrief und um einen Marsch bat, den wir ihm auch spielten.
Nun gibt es die Musik ueber youtube.com , die wir Ihnen ebenfalls im neuen Showformat anbieten.
Die Oktoberfestsaison begann in Pinellas Park mit der German American Society Pinellas. Das Fest begann am letzten Wochenende im September und war diesmal eine Woche laenger als im Vorjahr: drei Wochenenden, an denen ich stets wenigstens einmal vorbeischaute und die Adresse unserer Sendung publik machte.
(Hoeren Sie Ausschnitte aus unseren Interviews beim Oktoberfest der German American Society Pinellas im Hoerteil der Sendung)
Am Wochende des 18. Oktobers waren gleich drei Feste , die unsere Sendung verkuendet, Indian Rocks Beach und Dunedin's Oll Fall Fest kamen hinzu. In Dunedin ging es hoch her, Karin, Anja und Thorsten vom germandeli.net , denen unsere Sendung vom 23.10 gewidmet ist, waren allesamt in Indian Rocks Beach beim eintaegigen Fest.
In Dunedin sprach die Band zwar kein Deutsch, spielte aber Du,Du liegst mir am Herzen, auch sehr nett.
Mit Bekannten fuhr ich nach Cape Coral wo es dieses Jahr noch voller als zuvor war und eine oesterreichische Blaskapelle abwechselnd mit dem talentierten Manni Daum und seinem Sohn auftrat.
Es war angenehm um die 20 Gad und man trug Dirndl und tanzte sowohl den Ententanz als auch das neue Mitmachlied ein schoener Tg, dessen Ursprung in einem Kinderlied zu finden ist, es aber besonders dieses Jahr DAS Oktoberfestlied zum Mitmachen ist. Und ich flieg, flieg, flieg....
(Im Hoerteil der Sendung nennt mir Connie Mangold den Text)
Ich sprach auch mit Manny Daum, der mit seinen Songs auf Deutsch unterhielt. Es war sehr laut und lustig, darum die etwas eingeschraenkte Tonqualitaet.
(Manni Daum Interview im Hoerteil der Sendung)
Und dann traf ich Marcella Schmidt, Eishocky coach wie ihr Vater es einst in Beireuth war und Miss Oktoberfest 2011.
(Cape Coral audio Interview mit Miss Schmidt)
Es gab Berliner (Pfannkuchen) in Cape Coral. Die Bratwurst, wie ueberall auf diesen Festen, war die amerikanische Variante. Kartoffelpuffer, selbstgemachter Kartoffelsalat gab es bei der German American Society Pinellas handgemischt,von der Pellkartoffel bis zur fertigen Mahlzeit auf dem Teller.
Das letzte Oktoberfest war zugleich mit dem Ausklang in Cape Coral das Oktoberfest in Oldsmar.
Die Band bestand aus Akordion, Schlagzeug und Geige, die von Walzer bis zu ungarischen Melodien von Brahms zum Tanz aufspielte.
(Audioteil: Violinspieler beim Oldsmar Oktoberfest)
Es tanzen die Schuhplattlergruppen, derer es in Florida vier gibt: Die Enzianer in Pinellas, die Maigloeckchen und Orlandogruppe, und eine in Miami.
Manchmal helfen sie sich mit Taenzern aus, mit Kindern und jungen Leuten aus den Familientraditonen, man unterhaelt sich auf Deutsch und es gibt, so erfuhr ich, auch Naehgruppen, die zusammen ihre Kostueme fertigen und dabei allerhand Spass haben.
Die Leiterin der Enzianer bekundete ihren Ehrgeiz das Naehen der steifen Tracht-Mieder naehen zu lernen, ein Meisterstueck.
Mein Ehrgeiz eine Schaumburger Tracht zu fertigen wird wohl ebenfalls ein Staatsstueck werden und Zeit brauchen. Zu viele der Einzelteile, besonders der Schmuck scheinen schwer zu finden oder zu fertigen.
Here's the English version of a Dirndl report from Deutsche Welle:
Aber ueberall konnten wir die gute Nachricht weitergeben,dass die Deutsche Funksendung jetzt weltweit zu hoeren und Lesen und anschauen ist. Mit Volksmusic enden wir unsere Oktoberfestnachlese:Das sehen und hoeren Sie im youtubevideo im Blog.

Sarasota Opera premiere 2011/12
Sarasota OPERA
Sarasota’s 2011/12 Opera season opened with a glorious Madama Butterfly. As in its 2007 debut of this production of the Sarasota Opera the sets were ever lovely with careful details recreating the Japan of yesteryear: cherry blossoms, detailed gardens and a traditional Japanese home with wood and paper sliding walls and doors. As they are opened Butterfly looks into the distance awaiting the return of her beloved naval officer Pinkerton and his white ship.
The role of Madama Butterfly is sung (matched by her excellent acting skill ) by Soprano Asaka Tamura from Tokio, Japan. This season’s Butterfly felt ready for this major role. The spontaneous applause at every turn, especially after her fine rendition of “un bel di vedremo” revealed that indeed this would be a triumph for the opera star.
The unforgettable Miko Mori as Butterfly
Butterfly is supported by her faithful servant Suzuki, with warm Mezzo-Soprano voice, equally well acted by Asian-American Nina Yoshida Nelsen. Barritone Marco Nistico, a favorite in Sarasota of past seasons, warmly interpreted the American Consul Sharpless.
So wrapped up in the story was the audience that despite his excellent voice powerful tenor Rafael Davila even received some jeers and boos from the audience to comment on his character's leaving Butterfly behind. It was a thoroughly convincing story that moved the audience. Butterfly Asako Tamura received a standing ovation for her excellent performance from an audience seasoned by a lifetime of opera from Paris to Milan, New York to London.
In the Sarasota production studio and apprentice artists were well placed introducing some excellent voice performances and acting. The orchestra lead by Maestro Victor deRenzi performed with seeming ease and the costumes and makeup were a delight as always.
Sarasota Opera’s quest to stage operas close to their original versions brings us beautiful voices in traditional settings. This emotionally engaging and top quality production invites long-time supporters and new audiences alike to look forward to another e3xcellent opera season of this exciting company in Southwest Florida.
Madama Butterfly, a must-see performance runs through November 13th, to be followed by the next Opera in a season of five productions on February 11th 2012 . The season brings favorites like “Carmen”, “Lucia di Lammamoor”, Verdi’s “Otello”, and Samuel Barber’s “Vanessa”.
