The Glimmerglass Festival posted a photo: Last weekend's Showtalk in the Thaw Pavilion was centered on Medea. The first half had Gregory Nagy, the director of the Harvard Center for Hellenistic Studies, who spoke about the play by Euripides that was the source of the opera's story. Jake Gardner and Felicia Blum acted out excerpts from the play to aid in Gregory's explanations. The second half was Musicologist Peter Bloom (not shown) explaining the differences between the French and Italian versions of the opera.William Brown The Glimmerglass Festival posted a photo: The young artists presents special performances including the Meet Me at the Pavilion series and Arias and Asides concerts during the summer. They select some of their favorite pieces of opera and musical theater to present the audience. This one took place in the Thaw Pavilion; you can see the paper globe covering the light over the stage.William Brown The Glimmerglass Festival posted a photo: The Glimmerglass Festival posted a photo: No, aliens have not taken over the Glimmerglass campus. Today there wasa welding seminar held in the scene shop for people to learn how toweld. I had the honor of attending and trying my own hand at it. Thehelmets have tinted glass in them, many times more dark than yourordinary pair of sunglasses. This is used so you can look at the weldwithout damaging your eyesight. Here you see MIchael demonstrating someof the more advanced welding techniques for some of the stage ops.William Brown The Glimmerglass Festival posted a photo: The Glimmerglass Festival posted a photo: This summer, new signs were made in the festival colors to help people navigate the campus. Most have nowhere near the number of signs that there are on this post, which is near the Thaw Pavilion. Hopefully these will help people get around our beautiful campus!William Brown
