Title: THE SITZPROBE
Post by: bk on January 30, 2014, 11:59:45 PM
Well, you've read the notes, the notes had a sitzprobe, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently having a sitzprobe and they don't like being probed by a sitz.

I really like "Arthur's Theme."  I'm glad that you were able to explain to them about why it shouldn't be sung slowly like a mournful dirge.  I've heard too many songs that are slowed down to that point and granted it's a choice, but it's not a good choice...usually. ;)
Title: Re: THE SITZPROBE
Post by: George on January 31, 2014, 12:16:50 AM
Fun fact:  "Arthur's Theme" was the very first song that I ever sang at karaoke.  My friend Rick (who just got married last year to Scott, his partner of more than 20 years) talked me into going.  This was more than 15 years ago.  I really didn't know what to sing, but that was one that I found quickly enough.  I sang okayly, but karaoke really isn't my thing...still isn't.  I do have a lot of friends who love karaoke, and I'm happy for them, and I don't mind going, I just don't care to sing.

Good morning, all! I slept late since I have no plans until 11:00, when I will head down to Caroll Studios for the sitzprobe of LITTLE ME. I was having a peculiar dream involving my mother, my brother Randy as a little boy, a Christmas tree, and several Manhattan friends. I remember none of the particulars, but i suspect it had to do with my lingering anger at her behavior to him in the 1970s. The fallout still exists.

Last night, around 9:30, one of the traps killed another mouse; it took me about 30 minutes to clean up, dispose of the body, and reset the trap.

I need a day at Toyland this weekend, and I'm waffling between tomorrow and Sunday. Since I detest football, Sunday seems the better day. First I need to finish my taxes.

The Osterman Weekend.  Such an odd film, and hideous DVD transfer, but in a lovely package with a Nick Redman & Paul Seydor commentary which I look forward to hearing, perhaps this evening.  I always forget a lot about this film, then when watching I end up thinking I should be liking it more.  I love Robert Ludlum books and Cold War stuff, but this isn't typical Ludlum, and the film has such a dated surveillance theme going on.  At any rate, will appreciate listening to what Mr. Redman has to say about it all.

The Italian flag is called the "Tricolore".

An Italian restaurant I used to go to in San Francisco in the mid-8os had a "Tricolore" on its menu.  The plate would feature three pastas: Pesto, Alfredo and Pomodoro.  They would be presented in the same manner as above...green, white and red.

When I returned to Italy in 1987-92, I found that this particular treat had not been heard of in all the restaurants I visited (although I imagine I gave them "food for thought", so it might be on Italian menus now).

sitzprobe (German) is a term used in opera and musical theatre to describe a seated rehearsal—the literal translation of Sitzprobe—where the singers sing with the orchestra, focusing attention on integrating the two groups. It is often the first rehearsal where the orchestra and singers rehearse together. The equivalent Italian term is prova all'italiana. - wikipedia

Last night, we went out in the cold to see some of the ice sculptures on display in Rice Park, as a part of the 10-day long Winter Carnival. It was beautiful, but hard to see the sculptures because of a recent snowfall that had not been brushed off.


This must have been incredible to see.

The Princess Cruises ship, Pacific Princess, otherwise known to many as The Love Boat, is currently being dismantled at a shipyard in Turkey. It will not be making another run.      :-\


Sad.  It looks so small compared to what we were on.  And the staff was nowhere as friendly as on THE LOVEBOAT, but then they never seemed to work on those cruises.  We enjoyed watching episodes of the show while we were on the cruise.

I'm still in the wilds of Maine for two and a half more weeks. Yesterday, the unthinkable. Singing that lovely, but difficult music at 10am for kids who didn't want to be there. Ah, well. The other 3 school shows were cancelled. I'm sure there were one or two kids who liked it. But at that hour for us. Bad new bears. Oy.

Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor (http://xfinity.comcast.net/articles/entertainment-eonline/20140131/b506013/)??

Quote
Lex Luthor is often considered the most notorious of Superman's rivals, his unsavory reputation preceding him since 1940," [director Zack] Snyder said in a statement. "What's great about Lex is that he exists beyond the confines of the stereotypical nefarious villain. He's a complicated and sophisticated character whose intellect, wealth and prominence position him as one of the few mortals able to challenge the incredible might of Superman. Having Jesse in the role allows us to explore that interesting dynamic, and also take the character in some new and unexpected directions."

Interesting choice. ::)
Title: Re: THE SITZPROBE
Post by: Ron Pulliam on January 31, 2014, 02:05:17 PM
Yes, Eisenberg should make a very interesting Lex Luthor.  For those who can't "picture it", recall, if you will, Michael Keaton as Batman and Heath Ledger as The Joker.  Neither seemed appropriate upon announcement, but they totally WERE those characters.

I'm not a fan of doing sitz-probe's  with shows.  I find that the cast has no patience and forgets that this rehearsal is not always about them.  ESPECIALLY when there is dialogue in a song and I need them to "act" as they are delivering the dialogue so we can see if the underscore will time out.  Never fails, I'll tell an actor that they will have to have some sort of eye contact with me to get out of a vamp or something and they will seriously say "Oh, you want me to watch you?"   It's my least favorite rehearsal of the process and if I can avoid having one, I do.

Tonight, I have to get to go to a production of Hairspray at a local high school.  I know most of the kids, so I'm pretty much obligated to go, but I really don't want to.  I was suppose to play in the pit, but then I wasn't needed (because of students, of course, which is fine) but I'm pretty much over this show.  I hear it's pretty good, so that's a relief and I'm sure the students love what they are doing.  Just pretty much done with it!

It's been a long long day, and I am home. The rehearsal was a lot of fun:  noon ro 2:00pm, orchestra; 3:00 to 8:00, cast.  Chrstian Borle will be wonderful, but I liked everyone. The band played well, although there are still a lot of clams in some of the parts because the copyist's work is so bad.

I got to have a nice visit with Judy Kaye, David Garrison, Lee Wilkoff, and Lewis Stadlen, old friends I'd not seen in far too long.

I've had some friend rice for dinner.  Also, DR Ginny sent me this photo of several members of our coven in the 1970s, and asked me to post this on HHW. With DR Ginny are our two friends Andrea and Becki.They still looks young. Why am I the only one aging?

Had lunch, then a little rehearsal for our put in.  Ran all her solo and duet stuff, got her on track in terms of interpretation, and she'll be fine now.  We also had to make some adjustments in the spike marks due to the slightly different feel of the room - unfortunately two of our cast members, despite knowing about this evening's rehearsal for over a month, couldn't be with us.  So, they'll find out just before show time what those adjustments are.

If those are the same orchestra parts our little band had, they are VERY difficult to read and interpret.  I still can't believe how foreign (like, Greek) that P/C score looked to me when I took it out last week.

Hi Fellow DRs and BKudos to Our One and Only Original BK, this is Dan M and I'm taking the plunge by making my very first post HOORAY!
(I've never posted before, anywhere)
I've not tried to be elusive, but I've had some computer problems.
I'm very happy to be a member of this community and look forward to getting to know everyone!  I hope that you will get to know me too.  Just to start things off, I am a longtime New Yorker transplanted in the Tucson desert since 2009 and have been an employee at the University of Arizona, but had to take a medical leave in 2012 due to a rare lymphoma (Burkitt's).  After receiving chemotherapy for the past year, I am now successfully in remission and will try to return to work at the university. 

I have been a movie (and popular culture) lover since childhood, with a very enduring love of soundtracks, music library pieces and just about every kind of music.  My range is expansive and eclectic, from the classical to the kitschy.  Even kitschy can be well done after all.

Right now, I'm listening to Elvis Costello, T-Bone Burnett's "Proof Through The Night" on Rhino Handmade, various Firesign Theatre CDs, and Mahler and Beethoven.  If it's on a disc, I like to collect it.  If it's a book, I want to add it to my shelf.  While I was hospitalized from January through May of last year, my then apartment was burglarized and I lost my entire DVD and blu ray collection in addition to several CDs.  I recently replaced the Kritzerland "Casino Royale" that was stolen and have slowly tried to recoup some other losses.  I am recovering from that as well as gaining my health back.  As my friends tell me, I am lucky to be here now and getting ready to celebrate another birthday later in February (25th).

I apologize for the length of my post, and will be happy to answer any questions you may have.  As the SNL character used to say, "Get to know me!" and I hope that you all will as I would like to know you.  (Not necessarily in the biblical sense, of course.)

Thanks for reading.  I'm extremely happy to be here!

I apologize for the length of my post, and will be happy to answer any questions you may have.  As the SNL character used to say, "Get to know me!" and I hope that you all will as I would like to know you.  (Not necessarily in the biblical sense, of course.)

Thanks for reading.  I'm extremely happy to be here!

Welcome New D(ear)R(eader) Dan M!

I'm very sorry about your burglary.  A few years ago, I had three boxes of my musical cast recordings (probably over 300 CDs) stolen out of my garage, along with at least a couple of boxes of DVDs. :( I've replaced a lot, but not everything.  Also, I don't know what all was stolen.  That doesn't help.
