Interview with Metropolitan Kliment of Kaluga and Borovsk
(Igor Grigorevich Kondratovich - the coordinator of an exhibition of orthodox art)

I.K.-Your Sovereign, let us thank you for support and for you could find time to visit exhibition.
К.- I wish God help to all icon artists . May you work for God s fame. May God care you all.
I.K.-Your Sovereign, our participant from Canada has a question for you.
А.М.- Your Sovereign, hope you like the Exhibition, there are some ideas for making them in the USA. May be in Metropolitan, for Russian people are deeply interested in it.
К.-.I guess it’s a first exhibition, later it could be held abroad too. It may be held not only in America, but in Europe too because a world need to get acquainted with Russian icons and Orthodox belief. I was working in the USA, I know their interest to Orthodox art.
A.М.- Thanks God .I saw with my own eyes how people are interested in it. People of other beliefs, of different countries. Many of them are interested in spiritual growth in Russia, and it would be a good example for their spiritual development.
К.- May God help you in the USA, in Canada to accept and to develop Orthodox art.
А.М.- Thank God, Your Sovereign. Thank you.

Интервью с Митрополитом Калужским и Боровским Климентом
(Игорь Григорьевич Кондратович - координатор выставки православных икон "Свет Миру")

И.Г.-Владыка, еще у нашего участника из Канады есть к вам вопрос.
(Алексей Мезенцев руководитель иконописной мастерской при храме св.Троицы в Торонто. Канада.)
А.М.-Ваше Преосвященство, надеюсь, Вам понравилась выставка, есть некоторые идеи создать такие же выставки в Америке. Может быть, в Метрополитен там большая заинтересованность среди русских прихожан.
К.-Я думаю это первая выставка. Потом можно делать ее и выездной. Не только в Америку можно и ближнее и в дальнее зарубежье, в Европу, потому что русская икона – она известна, она славится, надо, чтобы мир познакомился с русской иконой и через икону познакомился и с православием. Я служил в Америке, я знаю, какой интерес там к православной иконе.
А.М.-Даст бог. Я знаю, своими глазами видел, как люди тянутся. Многие инословные, многие из других культур. С большим интересом сейчас относятся к подъему духовного искусства в России, духовной жизни в России и для них это будет замечательный пример, безусловно, для их духовного роста, для их поддержки.
К.-Помогай Господь вам тоже там, в Америке, в Канаде, вообще в зарубежье принять православие и развивать тоже православное искусство.
А.М.-Спаси господи, Владыка. Спасибо.

Event Details:

On April 20, 2007 Christ Church Deer Park is hosting a sparkling and magnificent evening of opera and operetta in a programme to include arias and duets from G. Bizet's Carmen, and popular operetta arias by Lehar, Strauss, Kalman, and much more.
Performers are Helena Holl (Soprano), Geoffrey Butler (Tenor), Jan Vaculik (Bass-Baritone), Mila Pashanova (Soloist Pianist). The show is also narrated by Anthony Morizio and Violetta Holl.

PROGRAM:

Part I: Opera

The first part of the concert will feature a melodrama in one act titled Carmen. This French opera was composed by Georges Bizet and based on a novel by Prosper Merimee. The opera was premiered at the Opéra Comique of Paris on March 3, 1875. Today, it is one of the world's most popular operas. In fact, Opera America claims it to be the fourth most-performed opera in North America.

Scene 1:
Imagine a square in Seville, Spain in the 19th century surrounded by factories and barracks. A bell announces the end of the shift at the factory. Among the factory workers is Carmen, the beautiful gypsy girl who catches sight of Don José and boldly goes up to him singing. Noticing his indifference, she challenges him by dancing a vortical "Habanera":"Love you not me, then I love you, / Yet, if I love you, beware of me!", and throwing a red rose in his direction she leaves.

Scene 2:
At José’s feet lies the flower thrown by Carmen. Hesitatingly, he picks it up, presses it to his nostrils and draws in its subtle perfume in a long breath. Then, still as if involuntarily, or as if a magic spell lies in its odour, he places the flower under his shirt and over his heart. It is a constant reminder of his growing love for Carmen. The ''torero'' Escamillo, winner of the Granada bullfight, arrives and is immediately attracted to Carmen.
Carmen is already thinking of other suitors and her indifference accentuates Don José's jealousy. This jealousy leads to a fight between the two men.

Scene 3:
The day of the bullfight Escamillo, appears arm in arm with Carmen as Don José is spying on her. Carmen knows this, but nevertheless defies the danger. José appears, humbles himself before Carmen and begs her to start a new life with him. Carmen tells him:"You never can make me love you again. No one can make me do anything. Free I was born, free I die." Escamillo's victory interrupts the bitter discussion. Carmen rushes towards the torero. When José stops her, she brutally, cynically and openly declares her love for the torero. José, blinded by his mad passion, stabs her in the heart. Don José falls on Carmen's body, cries out to her in desperation and lets himself be arrested. He has killed his love.

INTERMISSION

Part II: Operetta

Performers will let the magic of the operetta take over from famous composers such as Lehar, Strauss and Kalman. You will enjoy well known arias from The Gypsy Princess, Countess Maritza, The Circus Princess, and much more.
