BWWS BLOGS - The Safety Curtain: El actor ante los medios
by Javier A. Gabrielssön - Aug 20, 2013


Los compositores de Public Relations, cancion del mmusical ficticio Smash, no pudieron definir mejor la naturaleza exhibicionista de algunas estrellas. Si Marilyn Monroe llego a ser la figura que todos conocemos es, a parte por su figura y su muerte prematura, fue por la manera en que manejo a los medios de comunicacion. Con ellos consiguio una simbiosis efectiva sacrificando su intimidad y su integridad fisica. Pero la historia de la musica, el cine y el teatro de los ultimos sesenta años esta cuajada de reyes de las relaciones publicas. Por supuesto que no siempre es necesario llegar a los niveles de Marilyn, Madonna o Michael Jackson, pero si un actor aprende como cabalgar junto a los medios de comunicacion, tiene seguramente la mitad del trabajo hecho, y es que hoy es dia es tan importante lo que haces como que los demas vean lo que haces.

Pacific Lyric Association Presents Luisa Fernanda, Spanish Zarzuela Feb. 19-21
by BWW News Desk - Feb 19, 2009


Love! Rivalry! Politics! Pacific Lyric Association presents Luisa Fernanda, the last of the great Spanish zarzuelas by Federico Moreno Torroba. Four fully-staged performances of the complete libretto by Federico Romero and Guillermo Fernandez Shaw will take place at the 1000-seat Ricardo Montalban Theatre in Hollywood, February 19-21. Traveling from Spain to conduct the orchestra is the son of the composer, Federico Moreno-Torroba Larregla. Performances will be in Spanish with English supertitles. A zarzuela (pronounced zar zway' la) is a Spanish musical that blends the brilliance of Broadway with the passion of opera. The art form had its inception near Madrid in the 1640s. Legend says the name originates from a pavilion overgrown with blackberry bushes (zarzas) in a remote section of the city's El Prado Park, where actors gathered to present plays and entertain King Philip IV. Influenced over the centuries by Italian and French musical styles, but retaining a distinct personality, zarzuelas flourished as a popular entertainment in the 1920s and '30s. 'Unlike opera, zarzuelas are a form of populist entertainment,' explains Pacific Lyric Association artistic director, Madrid-born Carlos Oliva. 'The role of the story and dialogue is equally important to that of the singing and music - it's an early form of musical theater. It is paramount that the performers be strong actors as well as singers.'
