To mēs ļoti novērtējam. Pēdējos 25 gados vairāki Ģildes celmlauži ir aizgājuši viņsaulē. Šogad zaudējām čaklo un labi pazīstamo Veru Kļaviņu. Mums ļoti pietrūks viņas padoms un devīgā sirds. Toties, Ģildei ir nākuši klāt jauni spējīgi papildspēki. Par to mums ir liels gandarījums. Ğildes izsludinātais konkurss - jauniem komponistiem radīt jaunas latviešu operas izraisīja lielu atsaucību. Bijām patīkami pārsteigti par mūziķu nopietno interesi un vēlēšanos piestrādāt. Ģilde par vienu no saviem mērķiem uzskata šo interesi veicināt! Diemžēl, žūrija nevarēja vienoties par nevienu no iesniegtajām operām. Lietpratēji nespēja atzīt ar balss vairākumu nevienu no operām kā pietiekami vērtīgu iestudēšanai LNO. Žūrijas analīzes un komentāri pierādija, ka tās locekļi bija veikuši savu uzdevumu ļoti profesionāli. Operas ir daudzsološas! Ģilde nolēma piešķirt diviem komponistiem katram atzinības balvu $1,000 apmērā par lielo darbu. Varbūt, ka viņi varēs ar laiku pilnveidot savas operas. Šoreiz neizdevās atrast to īsto pērli, bet darbi dod cerību nākotnei. Doma rīkot konkursu Ģildei radās pirms pieciem gadiem, jo LNO programmas šķita vienpusīgas. Ğildes biedri uzskatīja, ka tas ir LNO pienākums atbalstīt arī latviešu komponistu operas. Galu galā, Baltais Nams tiek uzturēts daļēji ar Latvijas pilsoņu nodokļiem. Žēl, ka daudzas mūsu skanīgās klasiskās latviešu operas netiek atjaunotas uz lielās skatuves, bet sēž un apaug ar putekļiem! Ja būs kur izrādīt latviešu operas, tad radīsies jaunas! Pirms dažiem gadiem LNO direktors Zigmārs Liepiņš apņēmās uzvest vismaz vienu latviešu operu katru sezonu uz lielās skatuves. Arī Kultūras ministrija bija tādos ieskatos. Priecājamies par šo risinājumu, bet tam jānotiek orgāniski, bez piespiešanas. Pirmajā atmodas laikā un arī komūnistu okupācijas gados liela daļa operas tika uzvestas latviešu valodā. Caurmēra operas apmeklētāji zināja daudzām ārijām tekstus latviski. Protams, opera jauzved oriğinālvalodā, bet attiecībā uz latviešu operām, vajadzētu piestrādāt vairāk pie reklāmām. Būsim lepni arī par savām operām! Kādi ir Jūsu uzskati? Gaidīsim arī Jūsu ieteikumus šai jautājumā! Pievienojam Jums gada biedru karti iestāties Ģildē, jeb atjaunot Jūsu piederību.

2 Chairperson Aija Pelše Vice Chair Ivars Bērziņš Secretary Ilze Pētersone Treasurer Andris Padegs Board Members Gunta Aldzere Anna Aperāne Līga Balode Vija Bērziņa Dzintars Dzilna Ēriks Niedrītis Baiba Rudzīte Pinne Laila Robiņa Lauris Vidzis Liene Vidze Audit Committee Aija Blūmfelde Brigita Klausa Advisory Panel Dace Aperāne Pauls Berkolds Gunta Dreifelde Viesturs Gailis Ingrīda Gutberga Andrejs Jansons Juris Karlsons Juris Ķeniņš Māra Ķeniņa Jānis Kļaviņš Arturs Maskats Arturs Ozoliņš Gita Padega Edvīns Rasums Ilvija Zvaigzne Chairs Emeriti Indulis Lācis Ilgvars Spilners Beatrise Rasuma Juris Padegs Sveiki Ģildes biedri un draugi! 2016.g. maijā Cik ātri šis gads ir pagājis! Un cik ātri ir aizritējis laiks kopš Latvijas Nacionālās Operas Ģilde tika dibināta! Vai atceraties tos sākuma gadus, kad šausminājamies par mūsu Baltā nama noplukušo stāvokli un kā iedvesmojām tautiešus ziedot līdzekļus nama uzlabošanai? Mēs nebūtu ne sapņojuši gadā,ka latviešu mākslinieki no LNO būs vadošie solisti Metā gadā; tāpat arī uz citām pasaules operas skatuvēm! Atbalstot latviešu mūziku, Operas Ģilde ceļ Latvijas tēlu pasaulē. Mēs uzņemam sakarus ar jauniem latviešu māksliniekiem; mēs rīkojam koncertus; mēs sagaidam un reklamējam latviešu operas zvaigžņu uzstāšanos Ņujorkā un citur. Ģildes biedri apsveica ar ziediem Aleksandru Antoņenko pēc viņa Otelo debijas, kā arī nesen Kristīni Opolais pēc Manon Lescault izrādes. Mēs rudenī noorganizējāmtrīs Latvijas Tenoru tūri un iepriecinājām tautiešus un cittautiešus Klīvlandē, Ņujorkā, Salā, Ņudžersijā, un Floridā. Mēs turpinam atbalstīt LNO ar instrumentu iegādi; Figaro studijai dodam līdzekļus jauniešu izglītībai un uzvedumiem. Šie jaunieši arī uzstājas provinces pilsētās. Būtībā, mēs palīdzam izaudzināt jaunos māksliniekus. Viens no LNOĢ galveniem mērķiem ir popularizēt latviešu mūziku. LNOĢ izsludināja gadā starptautisku konkursu komponistiem, lai radītu jaunu latviešu operu. Žūrija, sastāvot no ievērojamiem komponistiem un mūzikas lietpratējiem, nespēja izšķirties par vienu izcilu operu. Tādēļ šai konkursā nav uzvarētāju. Ģildei tagad ir labāka saprašana par to, cik grūts un sarežģīts darbs ir veidot pirmklasīgu operu! Pašlaik gatavojamies Latvijas Nacionālās Operas Ģildes 25 gadu jubilejas koncertam un ballei! Apmeklētāji paši segs balles izdevumus. Tie nenāks no Ģildes kabatas! Koncerta daļai esam sarunājuši jaunu, spilgtu koloratūrsoprānu Dināru Rudāni. Viņu pavadīs labi pazīstamais pianists Gints Bērziņš. Un esam gandarīti, ka koncertā mūs iepriecinās arī iecienītais tenors Ingus Pētersons. Pieņemšanā klavieres spēlēs mūsu pašu Ņujorkas trūbadūrs Vilnis Klīmanis un balles mūziku sniegs Bill Aust. Lūdzu spodriniet lakkurpes, izvēdiniet smokingus un pārbaudiet vakarkleitas! Nāciet! Nāciet uz Ģildes jubilejas pieņemšanu, vakariņām, koncertu, polonēzi un balli!

4 LATVIJĀ GODINĀTI! Apsveicam mūsu pašu Daci Aperāni - ņujorkieti, Ģildes locekli, komponisti - kas saņēmusi Lielo Mūzikas balvu par latviešu mūzikas populārizēšanu pasaulē. Dace jau daudzus gadus ir atbalstījusi latviešu mākslinieku koncertus Amerikā, un kopš gada ir vadījusi ikgadējās jauno mūziķu vasaras nometnes Latvijā. Par nopelniem Latvijas valsts labā, Triju Zvaigžņu ordenis piešķirts operdziedātājai Kristīnai Opolais, diriģentam Andrim Nelsonam un komponistam un pianistam Raimondam Paulam. Ordeņi tiks pasniegti Latvijas valstsvētkos. Triju Zvaigžņu ordenis nodibināts gadā par piemiņu Latvijas valsts tapšanai un atjaunots gadā. Tā devīze ir - Per aspera ad astra - Caur ērkšiem uz zvaigznēm.

5 UN ATKAL MŪSU TRĪS TENORI! DZIESMOTA DIENA KLĪVLANDĒ "Skanēja mūsu draudzes zāle, kad brašie puiši, Tenori no Latvijas, un viņu klavieru pavadītājs uznāca uz skatuves ar Emīla Dārziņa Spāniešu romanci, V. Plūdoņa vārdiem. Miervaldis Jenčs, Nauris Puntulis, Guntars Ruņģis un Guntis Bērziņš, pianists, saliedēja viņu vareno tembru dažādību aizraujošā skaņu plūdumā... Koncerta otro daļu ievadīja G. Bērziņš ar solo, F. Lista Spāņu rapsodiju. Apbrīnojami aizraujošs bija šis klavieru izpildījums un klausītāji to atzinīgi novērtēja ar ilgstošiem aplausiem... Viņi līdztekus Bērziņa klavieru pavadījumam, papildināja savu dziedāšanu ar blakus instrumentiem G. Ruņģis ar ģitāri, N. Puntulis ar akordeonu un muzikālu grabuli, un M. Jenčs ar klikšķi, kas izklausījās pēc kastaņetēm. Katrā ziņā, iespaids bija saviļņojošs...paldies tenoriem no Latvijas, ka iekļāvāt Klīvlandi savā sestajā ASV turnejā. Paldies arī Aijai Pelšei par izdevušos turnejas izkārtošanu" TRĪS TENORI FLORIDĀ "Kad 19. oktobrī Trīs Tenori ar pavadītāju ielidoja Floridā, tie bija nosaluši, jo Ņujorkā jau pūta aukstie rudens vēji. Viņi priecājās ka Floridas siltā saulīte viņus ātri sasildīja un iepriecināja. Koncerta dienā 20. oktobrī bija sabraukuši tik daudz viņu mūzikas cienītāji,... šie četri brašie kungi uznāca uz skatuves, aplausus droši vien varēja dzirdēt uz ielas! Kad viņi, katrs stādījās priekšā, nodziedot pāris teikumus, tad varēja saprast ka mikrofoni šoreiz nebija vajadzīgi...vienalga, vai tenori dziedāja solo vai visi trīs brīnišķīgā harmonijā, koncerts bija loti augstvertīgs. Publika nebeidza aplaudēt un tā izlūdzās vēl trīs piedevas. Nauris Puntulis teica atvadu vārdus sacīdams mēs jau četras reizes esam bijuši Floridā un ja mūs aicinās, brauksim arī vēl piekto reizi!. Noteikti gaidīsim!"

6 ĢILDES DARBS NOVĒRTĒTS Ko saka flautiste, koncertmeistara vietas izpildītāja Guna Paula no LNO orķestra: "Gribu izteikt vissirsnīgāko pateicību Operas Ģildei par saziedotajiem līdzekļiem jaunās flautas iegādei priekš Latvijas Nacionālās operas. Es tagad varu spēlēt uz brīnišķīga, jauna instrumenta, ko radījis flautu meistars Miguel Arista, kurš strādā Bostonā. Tas ir roku darbs...esmu ļoti priecīga, ka Operas Ģilde šādā veidā atbalsta orķestra mūziķus, jo jaunu instrumentu iegāde prasa lielus līdzekļus, ko paši mūziķi diemžēl nevar atļauties...sirsnīgā pateicībā, Guna Paula Ko saka Viesturs Gailis no Figaro studijas: "Aizvakar nobeidzām mūzikas akadēmijā pirmo semestri ar "Sprīdīša izrādi...(pagājušā) jūnijā mums bija izrāde LMA, bet jūlijā Tērvetē. Noritēja ļoti labi...iestudējums tāds dzīvīgs, dinamisks un, galvenais, pozitīvs. Radīsim Tērvetē izrādi arī nākošvasar 9. jūlijā. Ja kāds gadās Latvijā, priecāsimies, ja varēsim satikt... Viss, ko iepriekš rakstu - pateicoties Jums! Tev un Ģildei!...Nav dienas, kad nepiedomāju ar labām domām pie Jums, jo Jūsu devumu redzu katru dienu! Viss mūsu darbs iespējams tikai pateicoties naudai, ko esiet mums dāvājuši...paldies, paldies, paldies Jums!!!...Sveiciens visiem draugien un Ģildes valdei!! Ko saka Ģilde? 26. aprīlī sagādājām LNO orķestrim jaunas džambu bungas (djembe). Tās noderēs Ērika Ešenvalda operai Iemūrētie. Pirmizrāde 19. maijā! Novēlam labu izdošanos!

Tādēļ atzīmētais ienākums var būt vairāk vai mazāk nekā attiecīgā gada loterijas ienākums. ** Ģildei ir eiro valūtas konts bankā Latvijā. Tā kā eiro vērtība attiecībā pret ASV dolāru gadā kritās, Ģidei radās zaudējums. Tabelē ir sakārtoti Ģildes gada ienākumi un izdevumi; salīdzinājumam blakus ailēs ir arī attiecīgie 2014., un gada skaitļi. Šogad izdevām lielu summu atbalstiem Latvijā, un izdevumi bija lielāki nekā ienākumi. Galvenais atbalsta izdevums bija $25,000 pabalsts Latvijas Mūzikas akadēmijas Figaro studijai kursa nobeiguma uzveduma iestudēšanai Viestura Gaiļa vadībā. Figaro studija sagatavo jaunos operas māksliniekus, un Ģilde ir periodiski atbalstījusi šos uzvedumus. Bruno Skultes Vilkaču Mantinieces nošu materiāli ir rokrakstā un vienīgais eksemplārs atrodas Latvijas Nacionālās Operas bibliotēkā. Ārpus Latvijas neviens par šādu operu nezina. Tā tas bija līdz šim. Ar Ģildes $5,150 finansējumu izdevniecība Musica Baltica tagad ir izdevusi operas klavierizvilkumu (piano vocal score) ar tekstu un libretu angliski un latviski. Līdz ar to Vilkaču Mantiniece tagad parādās katalogos un ir pieejama visā pasaulē. Pēdīgi, ar $932 atbalstu Ģildes palīdzēja izdot grāmatu Mirklim dzimuši putni par LNO baleta māksliniekiem. Ģildes rīkotā turneja Trīs Latvijas Tenori deva ap $3,000 atlikumu. Trīs tenori - Miervaldis Jenčs, Nauris Puntulis un Guntars Runģis, ar pianistu Gintu Bērziņu - vienmēr ir bijuši gaidīti un baudīti, un ir jauki, ka šāda turneja vēl dod atlikumu. Andris Padegs

9 INTERVIEW WITH ELĪNA GARANČA - Bachtrack Website, with Mark Pullinger April 15, Q - As a mezzo who has sung a lot of Mozart and bel canto, you ve played your fair share of trouser roles not forgetting Octavian in Der Rosenkavalier. How difficult is it to play a male character? A -...I had a period once preparing Octavian where, after three weeks of rehearsals, I was going in my dreams to the men's loo! I completely forgot on stage that I was a woman. Q - You returned to bel canto next with Sara in Roberto Devereux recently at The Met in David McVicar s new production. As your voice changes with time, does this make bel canto any harder to sing? How do you keep your voice trim/flexible enough to cope with these roles? A -... I have much experience of singing bel canto...my voice is like that, with that colour and quality of vibrato. I believe that even Verdi has to have that. It's rather style and expression that makes Mozart different from Verdi, not the size nor volume of the voice. Elīna Garanča was honored in April with the 2016 Opera News Award Excerpt from Opera News, APR 4, Elīna Garanča will be honored along with four colleagues at the 2016 Opera News Awards. Celebrating excellence in the genre, the prestigious accolade will be presented to the Latvian mezzo-soprano in black-tie gala event at the Plaza Hotel... Not yet forty and now in the second decade of her career, [Garanča] has established herself as one of the most gratifying performers on the opera stage today, writes Adam Wasserman in a tribute to Elīna in this month s issue of Opera News. Garanča s talents would make her a star in any century, yet her voice and movie-star good looks seem tailor-made for our Live in HD era. But perhaps the mezzo s greatest strength is her ability to render a cantabile line of such overwhelming beauty as to make time stop. Elīna Garanča has already secured her place in opera history, and she may just be getting started. Q - For a population of just 2 million people, Latvia produces some remarkable musicians. How do you explain this? Why are there such great voices coming out of Latvia? A - First of all, I think it's because we have a very deep choral singing tradition. Everybody sings in Latvia. We have a huge choral festival that started 1873 and happens every 4-5 years. Around 20,000 people get together and sing, whole cities across the country are living this for a week. Also our language is deep, it comes from the lower part of mouth, and it gives the voice a certain colour and strength and then we try to make it more Italian, to add more brilliance. In my generation, we had a very serious musical education...

10 THE NEW POWER COUPLE? DEMI VITKUTE WGBH NEWS If you think "celebrity couple," Angelina and Brad might come to mind, but when it comes to the hottest couple in the world of classical music, it's Latvian-natives Soprano Kristine Opolais and Boston Symphony Orchestra s music director Andris Nelsons. Nelsons will conduct while Opolais reprises Tchaikovsky s opus with the Boston Symphony Orchestra from April 21 through 23.The couple joined Jim Braude for their first joint TV interview since Andris came to the city. It wasn t the first time Nelsons heard Opolais sing, but her 2004 performance of Tatyana s Letter Scene from Tchaikovsky s Eugene Onegin was the moment he fell in love. Nelsons talent drew Opolais to him. I was attending even the ballet performances just to watch how he s conducting, she said. She told him that he should leave the opera house as soon as possible. She knew that such talent had to be free from one place. The pair grew up in the Soviet Union and Nelsons recalls playing a trumpet for 6-8 hours a day. He said people in sports and music particularly practiced really hard because they could see the light at the end of the tunnel the borders opening up so they could one day leave. If they lack anything, it s not talent. Married in 2011, both Nelsons and Opolais have had extremely successful careers. Nelsons will continue to lead the Boston Symphony Orchestra while at the same time embarking on a five-year contract at the Gewandhaus Orchestra in Leipzig from The appointment sets ups a transatlantic collaboration that will see the Boston Symphony performing in Leipzig and the Gewandhaus Orchestra at Symphony Hall in Boston. Opolais is fresh off an engagement at New York s Metropolitan opera, winning praise in the title roles of Puccini s Madama Butterfly and Manon Lescaut. The performances were streamed to hundreds of thousands via the Met s Live in HD program. While Nelsons has been recognized as one of the best maestros of his generation, Opolais, who wanted to be a pop-rock singer as a child, is just now breaking into larger fame. Her strong acting skills and bright voice have made her one of the most sought-after sopranos in the world. Opolais doesn t know whether her acting is what separates her from other sopranos because she thinks that everyone in the opera business needs to have something special. I just know that I have something special. I feel it, she said. But acting means a lot to her and she can t separate it from

11 singing. When I take off acting, I cannot sing, she said. The soprano s characters frequently die on stage, as in Madama Butterfly, but Opolais said she loves it. She thinks that the last act is more important for singers and artists than the first one because it s the last expression that can stick with the audience forever. Opolais has found that the most difficult part for her is minutes after the show. She found it difficult to speak to the camera right after the full act during the Met HD broadcast. You have to smile even if you re still sad, she said. Nelsons said he s more nervous being in the hall watching his wife perform than conducting while with her on stage. He sometimes asks Opolais if he can wait for her at home instead. Sometimes, he said, he does get a little bit jealous of his wife embracing other men on stage, but he blames it on the director. Poor director, said Opolais. Nelsons has also been known to start speaking and whispering to his wife during her performances, cheering her on. I want to kill him, she laughed. But the soprano still enjoys having him on stage with her. I feel more safe with Andris, she said. The couple has a 4-year-old daughter, Adriana, who travels with her mother. Finding a balance between nurturing a family and keeping up with spectacular careers is not easy. This is the biggest challenge in our profession, said Nelsons. The couple keeps a professional calendar where they also mark the days when they can see each other in different parts of the world in red. Long time planning helps, Nelsons said. As for the future, Opolais said she has many possibilities, but most importantly she wants everyone to stay healthy and happy, especially her daughter. As an artist, she sees herself becoming a director years later. She has a good feeling about the future. Sometimes women win with intuition, she said.
