This book was released on 2019-10-28 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Portsmouth's historic Music Hall has welcomed the best from Victorian superstars Buffalo Bill, Tom Thumb, and Mark Twain to today's top musicians, comics, authors, and performers. Built in 1878, expanded by Frank Jones in 1901, the theater's spacious stage and phenomenal acoustics have made it one of the finest venues in New England. Within these brick walls generations have seen America evolve from minstrel shows and silent films to jaw-dropping musicals and Hollywood blockbusters, from animal acts to symphony orchestras, and from vaudeville slapstick to provocative Ted talks. Behind the scenes, the Music Hall story is a wild ride from thriving to barely surviving and back. Fully researched, artfully written, and richly illustrated, this volume is a must-read for anyone who cherishes the performing arts.Shuttered and decaying during World War II, New Hampshire's vintage venue went on the auction block in 1945. Recast as the Civic, it served as a movie house for the next four decades. Following two failed revivals in the 1980s, the century-old structure came close to being turned into condominiums. Saved from demolition by a grassroots team of volunteers, the nonprofit Friends of the Music Hall launched an unprecedented $13.5 million capital campaign. Signature programs like the "Telluride by the Sea" film festival and "Writers on a New England Stage" have put New Hampshire's historic theater on the national map. Today the restored Music Hall delivers hundreds of diverse cultural events annually, both in the historic 900-seat hall and in its modern new Loft stage nearby. Digging even deeper, this book traces the development of the performing arts in Portsmouth from the arrival of its first settlers. We glimpse the city's colonial gentry partying at the Assembly House, hear the shrill sounds of early church singers, and wander the "lewd amusements" of a post-Revolutionary seaport. We watch as an acre of forest land is transformed from an almshouse and prison to a church, a temperance hall, a public lyceum and a theater. And we discover how that beloved theater--called "the beating heart of cultural Portsmouth"-has shaped the city that built and preserved it.

Book excerpt: Afong Moy is fourteen years old when she’s brought to the United States from Guangzhou Province in 1834. Allegedly the first Chinese woman to set foot on U.S. soil, she has been put on display for the American public as “The Chinese Lady.” For the next half-century, she performs for curious white people, showing them how she eats, what she wears, and the highlight of the event: how she walks with bound feet. As the decades wear on, her celebrated sideshow comes to define and challenge her very sense of identity. Inspired by the true story of Afong Moy’s life, THE CHINESE LADY is a dark, poetic, yet whimsical portrait of America through the eyes of a young Chinese woman.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Victoria Newhouse, noted author and architectural historian, addresses the aesthetics and acoustics in concert halls and opera houses of the past, present, and future in this stunning companion to the highly regarded Towards a New Museum. Site and Sound explores the daunting, perennial question: Does the music serve the space, or the other way around? Heavily illustrated throughout—with historic images, spectular color photographs, detailed drawings—this volume is an informed and enjoyable presentation of a building type that is at the heart of cities small and large. Newhouse starts with a survey of venues from ancient Greek and Roman times and progresses to contemporary works around the world. She singles out Lincoln Center in particular for its long history and its transitions and remodelings over the years. Two major chapters cover the present: one focuses on recent work in the West, including the National Opera House of Norway in Oslo by Snøhetta (2008), the Casa da Música in Porto, Portugal, by Rem Koolhaas (2005), and many more; the second examines the boom in concert halls in China. A final chapter looks at projects that are currently planned and the future of an architecture for music.

Book excerpt: "Working On A Song is one of the best books about lyric writing for the theater I've read."—Lin-Manuel Miranda Anaïs Mitchell named to TIME's List of the 100 Most Influential People in the World of 2020 An illuminating book of lyrics and stories from Hadestown—the winner of eight Tony Awards, including Best Musical—from its author, songwriter Anaïs Mitchell with a foreword by Steve Earle On Broadway, this fresh take on the Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice has become a modern classic. Heralded as “The best new musical of the season,” by The Wall Street Journal, and “Sumptuous. Gorgeous. As good as it gets,” by The New York Times, the show was a breakout hit, with its poignant social commentary, and spellbinding music and lyrics. In this book, Anaïs Mitchell takes readers inside her more than decade’s-long process of building the musical from the ground up—detailing her inspiration, breaking down the lyrics, and opening up the process of creation that gave birth to Hadestown. Fans and newcomers alike will love this deeply thoughtful, revealing look at how the songs from “the underground” evolved, and became the songs we sing again and again.
