Ein Interview mit Tenor Adam Klein
Adam Klein
The 2014/15 Fall opera season on Florida's west
coast begins with St.Petersburg's Opera celebration of Italy! October 17, 19
for its Sunday matinee , and , with a grand finale , the Tuesday 21st
performance, pairs Italian composer LeonCavallo's famous opera
"Pagliacci" with a glorious celebratian of music, all performed by a 40 piece classical
orchestra and voices you can expect on opera stages across the world.
The wonderful Italian music in the first half of the
evening is followed by the drama of love and hate, jealousy and revenge that is
the opera Pagliacci.
Susanne Nielsen spoke with the main protagonist, the
leader of the troupe of players, Canio whose beloved Nedda, the Colombine to
his sad clown, must follow their fate to its tragic end.
Tenor Adam Klein has quite a story of his own and is
master of his voice as much as a talent for composing and instrument making.
Though he is well versed in the German language we
conducted the conversation mostly in his native English, you can listen to it in the audio
section of this show.
Please also join into the celebrations of
Oktoberfest throughout Florida .Die Herbst-Opernsaison beginnt mit den Clowns, LeonCavallos Pagliacci. Die erste Produktion ist die der St. Petersburg opera, gepaart wird diese relativ kurze Oper mit einer Einleitenden Feier Neapolitanioscher Musik.
Und als ich hoerte, dass Adam Klein, amerikanischer Tenor, der seit Jahren an der New Yorker Met singt, und führende Tenorpartie in vielen Opern Produktionen singt , die Hauptrolle in der St. Petersburger Opernproduktion Pagliacci singen wuerde und ich zudem hoerte, dass er ein sehr breitgefaechertes Talent fuer das Komponieren, Spielen und auch Bauen von traditionellen Folkloreinstrumenten mitbringt, wurde aus unserem Gespraech ein weit ueber seine Rolle hinausgehendes interessantes Zusammentreffen im neuen Zuhause der St. Pete Opera in St Petersburgs Downtown. Er kam mit dem Fahrrad an, was er auch als Transportmittel in New York City gerne benutzt.
Hoeren Sie unser Interview mit Tenor Adam Klein im Hauptteil unserer Sendung.
Auch zu Pagliacci wird es eingies geben, das Ihnen davon vielleicht noch unbekannt sein mag.
Bitte beachten Sie noch unsere vielen Oktoberfesthinweise, vom deutschen Fest in Pinellas bis hoch nach Oldsmar und Dunedin bis hin zum groessten in Florida, dem Cape Coral Oktoberfest.

Cape Coral Oktoberfest, Florida's BIGGEST!
Adam Charles Josef Klein ist ein amerikanischer Opernsänger, der führende Tenorpartien in vielen nordamerikanischen Opern Produktionen , darunter die Metropolitan Opera, Seattle Opera, Edmonton Opera, und New York City Opera gesungen hat.
Klein wurde am 16.1.1960 in Port Jefferson, New York, als Sohn des Pianisten und in den 60er Jahren auch Musikkritikers der New York Times, Howard Klein geboren. In den 70er und 80er Jahren war dieser Direktor der Abteilung Kunst an der Rockefeller-Stiftung. Adams Mutter ist die Malerin Patricia Mieten.
Klein wurde mit zehn Jahren in den Metropolitan Oper Kinderchor aufgenommen und sang kurz vor seinem Stimmbruch 1972 zwei Soli, Yniold in Pelleas und Melisande und als Knabe in der Zauberflöte. Der Tenor ist Absolvent der State University of New York in Stony Brook. Er erhielt seinen Master-Abschluss in Gesang auf der Jacobs School of Music an der Indiana University. Bis er sich mit ueber zwanzig endlich entschloss, Operngesang ganz zu seiner Karriere zu machen, baute und spielte er Volksmusik-Instrumente wie Banjo, Dulcimer, Autoharp und Knochen, ein Handwerk, dass er nie ganz aufgegeben hat.
In den späten 90er Jahren begann er sich auf der Opernbühne als Tenor einen Namen zu machen, sang Pinkerton in Madame Butterfly, Rodolfo in La Bohème, und Edgardo in Lucia di Lammermoor für die Edmonton Oper . Er hatte sein New York City Opern-Debüt im Jahr 1995, als Don José in Carmen, eine Rolle, die er auch an der Atlanta Oper, der Virginia Oper , Toledo Oper , Indianapolis Oper und am Portland Oper Repertory Theatre gesungen hat. Ebenso sang er in Milwaukee, Boston, Philadelphia und anderen amerikanischen Städten.
2001 kehrte Klein an die Metropolitan Opera mit seinem Hausdebüt als Tenor zurueck. Am 26. November 2001 sang er Graf Elemer in Arabella. In den folgenden neun Jahren sang er 62-mal in Produktionen an 10 verschiedenen Opernhaeusern. Obwohl er die meisten seiner Auftritte in comprimario Rollen wie Yaryshkinin in Die Nase, Chevalier Delaforce in Gespräche der Karmelitinnen und Fjodor in Krieg und Frieden hatte, sang er auch 2002 Steva in Jenůfa und 2008 die Hexe in Hänsel und Gretel.
2007 sang Klein die Rolle von Sly in der amerikanischen Premiere Pascal Dusapin Oper Faustus, aufgefuehrt in Last Night beim Spoleto Festival USA. Drei Jahre später, in Tristan und Isolde, gab er sein Hausdebüt an der Seattle Opera, als er in der Rolle des Tristan für den erkrankten Tenor Clifton Forbis einsprang.
In Wagner sieht der Saenger seine Erfuellung. Zu Kleins Wagnerrollen zaehlen Erik, Loge, und Siegmund.
Klein singt die Puccini Rollen Cavaradossi, Luigi, und Des Grieux.Zu seinem Verdi-Repertoire zaehlt Adam Klein Alfredo, den Herzog von Mantua, Manrico, Cassio und Otello, während sein Mozart-Rollen Tamino und Belmonte. Zu seinen weiteren Rollen gehoeren Bacchus in Ariadne auf Naxos, Herodes in Salome, Peter Quint in The Turn of the Screw, die Titelrolle in Peter Grimes, Richter Danforth im Tiegel, Polo in Marco Polo, Edgardo in Lucia di Lammermoor, und Canio in Pagliacci.
Klein ist mit der Sängerin, Schauspielerin und Regisseurin Tami Swartz, verheiratet
Von diesen Worten tief beunruhigt bleibt Nedda, deren Gewissen gar nicht rein ist, zurück und besingt neidisch die Freiheit der Vögel. Tonio nähert sich und macht ihr Avancen, die sie spottend zurückweist. Nachdem sie ihn mit einer Peitsche in die Flucht geschlagen hat, tritt Neddas Geliebter Silvio auf, der sie überreden will, mit ihm in der Nacht zu fliehen. Tonio hat die beiden beobachtet und alarmiert Canio. Silvio kann in letzter Sekunde unerkannt fliehen. Mit dem Messer drohend, verlangt Canio von Nedda den Namen des geflohenen Geliebten, doch Beppo kommt dazwischen und kann Canio zunächst mit der Begründung, die ersten Gäste seien bereits kurz vor dem Eintreffen, zur Vernunft bringen.
Die Schauspieler gehen sich nun umziehen, und der betrogene Canio singt eine verzweifelte Arie ("Vesti la giubba" bzw. auch "Ridi, pagliaccio / Lache, Bajazzo").
Die Aufführung beginnt: Von ihrem Mann "Bajazzo" (Canio) alleingelassen, wartet "Colombina" (Nedda) auf ihren Geliebten "Harlekin" (Beppo), doch "Taddeo" (Tonio) platzt hinein und will sich ihr nähern. "Harlekin" verjagt ihn, und die beiden Liebenden setzen sich zum Essen. Da kommt "Bajazzo" nach Hause, und als Nedda dem fliehenden "Harlekin" die gleichen Abschiedsworte nachruft wie am Nachmittag ihrem Silvio, verliert Canio/Bajazzo die Contenance: Indem er Spiel und Ernst zu vermischen beginnt, fragt er Nedda erneut nach dem Namen seines Nebenbuhlers. Die Zuschauer sind hingerissen von dieser Intensität und applaudieren dem so real wirkenden "Spiel". Erst als Canio der fliehenden Nedda ein Messer in den Rücken sticht und ihr letzter Seufzer "Silvio!" erklingt, erkennt das Publikum den Ernst der Lage, doch zu spät: Auch der Geliebte wird vom rasenden Ehemann erstochen, der das Publikum mit den Worten "La commedia è finita" / "Die Komödie ist aus" nach Hause schickt.

In 2012 Klein received rave reviews and notices for his performances as Loge Das Rheingold in the Metropolitan Opera’s new production Wagner’s cycle.

With the company he has also performed lead roles inThe Nose, Z Mrtveho Domu, Jenufa, Pique Dame, Dialogues des Carmelites, Was and Peace, Mazeppa, Le Rossignol, Salome and Arabella; he has also understudied many other principal parts, including Gandhi in Philip Glass’s Satyagraha.

Biography
Klein was born in Port Jefferson, New York, the son of pianist Howard Klein, a music critic at The New York Times in the 1960s, and Director for Arts at the Rockefeller Foundation in the 1970s and 1980s and Patricia Windrow, a realist painter.[1] Klein entered the Metropolitan Opera Children's Chorus at age ten, and in 1972 sang two solo parts, Yniold in Pelleas et Melisande and Zweiter Knabe in The Magic Flute, before his voice changed.[2][3] A graduate of the State University of New York at Stony Brook, he went on to receive a Master's degree in vocal performance from Jacobs School of Music at Indiana University.[4] Until he returned to opera in his twenties, he had built a career making and playing folk instruments such as banjo, dulcimer, autoharp and bones, a pursuit that he has never completely abandoned.
In the late 1990s, he began performing on the opera stage as a tenor, singing Pinkerton in Madama Butterfly,[5] Rodolfo in La bohème,[6] and Edgardo in Lucia di Lammermoor[7] for Edmonton Opera. He made his New York City Opera debut in 1995 as Don José in Carmen,[2] a role he has also sung at Atlanta Opera, Virginia Opera, Toledo Opera, Indianapolis Opera, Portland Opera Repertory Theatre,[8] as well as in Milwaukee, Boston, Philadelphia and several other American cities. Klein returned to the Metropolitan Opera in 2001 when he made his house debut as a tenor on 26 November, singing Count Elemer in Arabella. In the succeeding nine years he has performed 62 times with the company in 10 different operas. Although most of his performances there have been in comprimario roles such as Yaryshkinin in The Nose, Chevalier Delaforce in Dialogues of the Carmelites, and Fyodor in War and Peace, he also sang Steva in Jenůfa (2002) and The Witch in Hansel and Gretel (2008).[9]
In 2007, Klein sang the role of Sly in the American premiere of Pascal Dusapin's opera Faustus, the Last Night at the Spoleto Festival USA.[10] Three years later, he made his house debut with Seattle Opera, as Tristan in Tristan und Isolde when he substituted for an indisposed Clifton Forbis.[11] Klein's previous Wagnerian roles had been Erik, Loge, and Siegmund. With other opera companies, Klein's Puccini roles have included Cavaradossi, Luigi, and Des Grieux. In the Verdi repertoire, he has sung Alfredo, the Duke of Mantua, Manrico, Cassio and Otello, while his Mozart roles include Tamino and Belmonte. Among his other roles are Bacchus in Ariadne auf Naxos, Herod in Salome, Peter Quint in The Turn of the Screw, the title role in Peter Grimes, Judge Danforth in The Crucible, Polo in Marco Polo, Edgardo in Lucia di Lammermoor, and Canio in Pagliacci.
Klein is married to Tami Swartz, a singer, actress, and director .
Handlung Prolog (Wikipedia)
Tonio tritt vor den geschlossenen Vorhang und heißt das Publikum mit einer Rede über die Unterschiede und Gemeinsamkeiten zwischen Schauspiel und Realität willkommen. Im Namen des Librettisten und Komponisten bereitet er die Zuschauer auf ein besonders realitätsnahes Stück vor.
Erster Akt
Mit seiner Commedia-dell'arte-Truppe zieht Canio ins Dorf und lädt die jubelnde Menge zur Abendvorstellung ein. Als die Komödianten ins Wirtshaus eingeladen werden, entschuldigt sich Tonio, er müsse noch den Esel versorgen. Die Neckereien der Bauern, er wolle wohl mit der hübschen Nedda allein bleiben, lösen bei deren eifersüchtigem Mann Canio einen Wutausbruch aus, und er verkündet, anders als auf der Bühne würde er im echten Leben Untreue mit dem Tode rächen.Von diesen Worten tief beunruhigt bleibt Nedda, deren Gewissen gar nicht rein ist, zurück und besingt neidisch die Freiheit der Vögel. Tonio nähert sich und macht ihr Avancen, die sie spottend zurückweist. Nachdem sie ihn mit einer Peitsche in die Flucht geschlagen hat, tritt Neddas Geliebter Silvio auf, der sie überreden will, mit ihm in der Nacht zu fliehen. Tonio hat die beiden beobachtet und alarmiert Canio. Silvio kann in letzter Sekunde unerkannt fliehen. Mit dem Messer drohend, verlangt Canio von Nedda den Namen des geflohenen Geliebten, doch Beppo kommt dazwischen und kann Canio zunächst mit der Begründung, die ersten Gäste seien bereits kurz vor dem Eintreffen, zur Vernunft bringen.
Die Schauspieler gehen sich nun umziehen, und der betrogene Canio singt eine verzweifelte Arie ("Vesti la giubba" bzw. auch "Ridi, pagliaccio / Lache, Bajazzo").
Zweiter Akt
Vor der Vorstellung sammelt Nedda das Eintrittsgeld und warnt dabei heimlich den tatsächlich anwesenden Silvio vor Canios Zorn.Die Aufführung beginnt: Von ihrem Mann "Bajazzo" (Canio) alleingelassen, wartet "Colombina" (Nedda) auf ihren Geliebten "Harlekin" (Beppo), doch "Taddeo" (Tonio) platzt hinein und will sich ihr nähern. "Harlekin" verjagt ihn, und die beiden Liebenden setzen sich zum Essen. Da kommt "Bajazzo" nach Hause, und als Nedda dem fliehenden "Harlekin" die gleichen Abschiedsworte nachruft wie am Nachmittag ihrem Silvio, verliert Canio/Bajazzo die Contenance: Indem er Spiel und Ernst zu vermischen beginnt, fragt er Nedda erneut nach dem Namen seines Nebenbuhlers. Die Zuschauer sind hingerissen von dieser Intensität und applaudieren dem so real wirkenden "Spiel". Erst als Canio der fliehenden Nedda ein Messer in den Rücken sticht und ihr letzter Seufzer "Silvio!" erklingt, erkennt das Publikum den Ernst der Lage, doch zu spät: Auch der Geliebte wird vom rasenden Ehemann erstochen, der das Publikum mit den Worten "La commedia è finita" / "Die Komödie ist aus" nach Hause schickt.
History Paliacci ( engl. Version Wikipedia)
Um 1890, als Pietro Mascagni Cavalleria Rusticana uraufgeführt wurde, war Leoncavallo ein noch wenig bekannter Komponist. Nachdem er den Erfolg Mascagnis sah, beschloss er, eine Oper im Verismo-Stil als Antwort darauf zu schreiben. Leoncavallo behauptete, dass die Geschichte von Pagliacci auf einem Vorfall aus seiner Kindheit beruhte: einen Mord im Jahr 1865, wobei das Opfer ein Diener der Leoncavallo Familie , Gaetano Scavello, war. Die Mörder waren Gaetano D'Alessandro und Bruder Luigi. Der Vorfall führte zu einer Reihe von romantischen Verwicklungen, worin Scavello, Luigi D'Alessandro, und ein Mädchen aus dem Dorf, das beide Männer betört hatte, verwickelt. Leoncavallos Vater, ein Richter, war der vorsitzende Richter in der strafrechtlichen Untersuchung.
Allerdings behauptete der Französische Autor Catulle Mendès, dass die Handlung des Leoncavallo Libretto (in einer Französischen Übersetzung von 1894) seinem 1874 geschriebenen Schauspiel La Femme de Tabarin sehr aehnlich war, der Geschichte eines Clowns, der des Mordes an seiner Frau schuldig wurde. Mendès verklagt Leoncavallo auf Plagiat . Der Komponist stritt dies ab. Später gab es Vorwürfe, dass Gegen Mendès' Spiel ähnelte dem von Don Manuel Tamayo y Baus "Un Nuevo Theater (1867) sei. Mendès ließ seine Klage fallen. Doch der Gelehrte Matteo Sansone hat vorgeschlagen, dass Leoncavallo ein bemerkenswerter Kenner der Französischen Kultur war, und von 1882 bis 1888 in Paris lebend, reichlich Gelegenheit gehabt hatte, neue Kunst und Französisch Musikwerke kennenzulernen hatte.Hierzu hatten sicherlich Mendès Stueck, eine andere Version von La femme de Tabarin von Paul Ferrier und Tabarin, eine Oper von Émile Pessard gehoert, die LeonCavallo zusammengestzt haben koennte. Sansone fand vielen Parallelen zwischen Mendes, Ferrier und Pessard Versionen in Geschichte und Tabarin in Pagliacci erarbeitet und stellt fest, dass Leoncavallo bewusst jede Art von Verbindung zwischen der Oper und den früheren Werken Französisch minimiert hat.
Leoncavallo hatte ursprünglich seine Geschichte Il pagliaccio (Der Clown) betitelt. Der Bariton Victor Maurel, der als der erster Tonio sang, soll verlangt haben, dass Leoncavallo den Titel aus der Einzahl Il pagliaccio auf die Mehrzahl Pagliacci aendern sollte, um dramatisches Interesse von Canio allein auf Tonio Tonio (seine eigene Rolle) zu erweitern.
(English version, Wikipedia)
Around 1890, when Pietro Mascagni's Cavalleria rusticana premiered, Leoncavallo was a little-known composer. After seeing Mascagni's success, he decided to write an opera in response: one act composed in the verismo style. Leoncavallo claimed that he based the story of Pagliacci on an incident from his childhood: a murder in 1865, the victim of which was a Leoncavallo family servant, Gaetano Scavello. The murderer was Gaetano D'Alessandro, with his brother Luigi an accomplice to the crime. The incident resulted from a series of perceived romantic entanglements involving Scavello, Luigi D'Alessandro, and a village girl with whom both men were infatuated. Leoncavallo's father, a judge, was the presiding magistrate over the criminal investigation.
Upon learning of the plot of Leoncavallo's libretto in an 1894 French translation, the French author Catulle Mendès thought it resembled his 1874 play La Femme de Tabarin, such as the play-within-the-play and the clown murdering his wife. Mendès sued Leoncavallo for plagiarism. The composer pleaded ignorance of Mendès' play. Later there were counter-accusations that Mendès' play resembled that of Don Manuel Tamayo y Baus' Un Drama Nuevo (1867). Mendès dropped his lawsuit. However, the scholar Matteo Sansone has suggested that, as Leoncavallo was a notable student of French culture, and lived in Paris from 1882 to 1888, he had ample opportunity to be exposed to new French art and musical works. These would potentially have included Mendès' play, another version of La femme de Tabarin by Paul Ferrier, and Tabarin, an opera composed by Émile Pessard that was based on Ferrier's play. Sansone has elaborated on the many parallels among the Mendès, Ferrier, and Pessard versions of the Tabarin story and Pagliacci, noting that Leoncavallo deliberately minimised any sort of connection between his opera and those earlier French works.
Leoncavallo originally titled his story Il pagliaccio (The Clown). The baritone Victor Maurel, who was cast as the first Tonio, requested that Leoncavallo change the title from the singular Il pagliaccio to the plural Pagliacci, to broaden dramatic interest from Canio alone to include Tonio (his own role).

ABOUT SARASOTA OPERA
Based in Florida’s beautiful Gulf Coast, Sarasota Opera is approaching its 55th consecutive season. In 1960, the company began presenting chamber-sized repertoire in the historic 320-seat Asolo Theater on the grounds of Sarasota’s Ringling Museum of Art. Recognizing the need for a theater more conducive to opera, the company purchased the former A.B. Edwards Theater in downtown Sarasota in 1979 and first performing in it in 1984 as the Sarasota Opera House. The theater has just undergone a $20-million renovation and rehabilitation enhancing audience amenities, while updating the technical facilities including increasing the size of the orchestra pit. The theater, which reopened in March 2008, has been called “one of America’s finest venues for opera” by Musical America.
Since 1983 the company has been under the artistic leadership of Victor DeRenzi. Since then the company has garnered international attention with its Masterwork Revivals Series, which presents neglected works of artistic merit, as well as the Verdi Cycle producing the complete works of Giuseppe Verdi. Recognizing the importance of training, Maestro DeRenzi founded the Apprentice Artist and Studio Artist programs. Sarasota Opera also maintains a commitment to education through its Invitation to Opera performances for local schools and the unique Sarasota Youth Opera program.
Sarasota Opera is sponsored in part by the State of Florida, Department of State, Division of Cultural Affairs, the Florida Arts Council, and the National Endowment for the Arts. Programs are supported in part by an award the Tourist Development Tax through the Board of County Commissioners, the Tourist Development Council and the Sarasota County Arts Council. Additional funding is provided by the City of Sarasota and the County of Sarasota.
