We are delighted to present André Previn’s transformation of Tennessee Williams’ classic play in a stunning production from New Orleans Opera. Made famous by the 1951 movie directed by Elia Kazan, and starring Vivien Leigh and Marlon Brando, the storyline is perfect for adapting into an opera. As The New York Times stated after the premiere in San Francisco in 1998: “A Streetcar Named Desire is so operatic as a play that one wonders why more than 50 years have passed since its Broadway opening with no opera of note being made of it…The new setting of Tennessee Williams’ play, with music by André Previn and a libretto by Philip Littell, answered a few questions and asked others...First of all, it sings very well. Mr. Previn has a fine ear for voices. He knows how to flatter and coax it and send it gracefully from one musical episode to the next ... one had the impression that Mr. Previn had been writing for the musical theater all his life.”
Our cast includes some welcome returns to Hawaii including Jill Gardner (Tosca 2013) as Blanche DuBois, Ryan McKinny (The Dutchman 2015) as Stanley Kowalski and Victoria Livengood (Azucena 2016) as Eunice Hubbell. They are joined by local favorite Kip Wilborn (Pagliacci 2014) as Steve Hubbell. The production is directed by Brad Dalton and conducted by Mark Morash from the San Francisco Opera Merola Program.
And we still have two more great opera productions to come this season. In March we will present American composer Jake Heggie’s opera Three Decembers, starring Frederica von Stade, for whom the work was created. We are very excited to be touring this production to the islands of Maui, Hawaii, and Kauai. Our season ends with a spectacular production of Offenbach’s The Tales of Hoffmann, newly created for HOT by Peter Dean
Beck and Adam Larsen, and directed by Henry Akina.
As always we are grateful to you, our audience, for attending our performances and for the support you give us in so many ways throughout the year. Without your help we simply could not continue to bring the world’s best opera to Hawaii each year.
But now sit back and enjoy A Streetcar Named Desire!

I don’t want realism. I want magic!”— Blanche DuBois

Production Staff Continued
9 A S t r e e t c a r N a m e d D e s i r eA r i a
Q: How did your association with Streetcar begin? A: My first production originated at Austin Lyric Opera, where they wanted a less realistic approach. I adapted those ideas for a semi-staging accompanied by the London Symphony Orchestra, with Renée Fleming as Blanche and André Previn conducting. That version went on to Washington National Opera and later to Carnegie Hall.
Q; This play has certain stage directions that are tricky to present – for example, the drunken Stanley throwing the radio out the window.
A: It’s essential that we witness the violent side of Stanley. The props department makes radios out of wood that can be destroyed each night. One of the poker players has a baseball bat; Stanley grabs the bat from him and smashes the radio with it onstage. That’s stronger than having him just toss it out the window.
Q; What other important directorial decisions figure in your staging?
A: The singer playing the young newspaper collector doubles as the ghost of Blanche’s young husband who died. He actually appears many times, but only in Blanche’s mind. For instance, when she’s holding his love letters to her, he just walks by her, felt but unseen. The payoff is that later, in her big monologue, the two come face to face and she can
look him in the eye and say, “I know. I saw. You disgust me!” as if she were reliving that moment before us. I also have onstage an old relative from Belle Reve, who appears at the very beginning wearing a tiara. Then, at the end, when Blanche is going crazy, the old relative reappears and dresses her in an old Victorian gown and places the tiara on her head, as if to say, “Come back, Blanche. Come back to Belle Reve.”
Q; You have a wonderful new treatment of the final scene.
A: I don’t want to give it away here, but I can say that it does give a sense of where Blanche is headed in the end. You’ll understand that she’ll probably always be in a sanatorium, talking about her gentlemen callers.Whether you’re seeing Tennessee Williams’s play or André Previn’s opera, it’s hard to imagine an audience not feeling deeply for Blanche.
People want her to survive. Everyone can relate to that sense of injury, whether from some moment in our childhood, from our parents, or in our development as human beings. We have our inner version of ourselves that always feels underappreciated, misunderstood, and we long to express ourselves emotionally and completely, yet something in the world batters us down and holds it back. Blanche is
trying to remake herself. Maybe she’s lying about her past, but she tries to live civilly -- as an English teacher who knows poetry and manners -- to create a harmless illusion.If Stanley hadn’t looked into Blanche’s past, she probably would have married Mitch, but he had to look back into her past and then confront her cruelly. Mitch throws her out, so there she is, trying to hang on to everything -- this illusion she wants to present.
Q; Stella becomes a more vibrant and complicated figure in the opera.
A: Growing up at Belle Reve was full of trauma for Stella, and I think she simply ran away from that world of propriety and manners -- from Blanche standing by the old relatives, staying with them until they died. The opposite of that, of course, is desire. Stella doesn’t mind getting down and dirty. “Why do you live in this place? It’s horrible,” says Blanche. The answer is, “I live here because this is who we are. You don’t know that yet?”
From a conversation between Brad Dalton,
director of A Streetcar Named Desire, and Roger
Pines, the dramaturge for Lyric Opera of Chicago.

A STREETCAR
NAMED DESIRE
ACT THREE Scene 1. Some weeks later, Blanche’s birthday Mitch is late for the party. Stanley, who feels that his home and marriage are both threatened by Blanche, breaks up the celebration when he reveals that his friend has discovered Blanche’s unsavory reputation in Laurel for seducing young men, and the fact that she had been told to leave town. After handing Blanche a one-way ticket back home, Stanley tells her that Mitch now knows everything and will not be coming around again.
Scene 2. Later that night Stella has been taken to a hospital for a premature delivery. Mitch, drunk, invades the apartment and bitterly reproaches Blanche: Just as her desperate hopes lie with him, his lie with her. They have both lost their emotional refuge. His denunciation of her as someone too unclean to enter his mother’s house is a trigger that starts to unhinge Blanche’s mind.
Scene 3. Later This fragmentation is completed when Stanley, as a last act of cruel retribution, rapes Blanche.
Scene 4. Some days later Blanche prepares to leave for a visit to a fictitious old admirer. In fact, Stella, unable to believe Blanche’s accusations against Stanley, is packing Blanche’s clothes for her to take to the asylum when the doctor arrives.
This synopsis was written by the late Colin Graham, who
directed the world premiere of A Streetcar Named Desire, and is

Synopsis
ACT I
Scene 1 Blanche DuBois has suffered the loss of both her ancestral home and her job when she arrives in New Orleans to visit her sister, Stella, who has married Stanley Kowalski, an ex-GI trucker.
Scene 2. A few days later Stanley, infuriated by Blanche's artificial airs, her suggestive behavior, and what he regards as her loss of his wife’s birthright, is determined to expose the lies about her past—which is more tragic and sordid than he is able to imagine.
Scene 3. That night During a poker game Blanche meets Harold Mitchell (Mitch), a workmate of Stanley’s, very much tied to his mother’s apron strings. Blanche sets her sights on him. Stanley, drunk, breaks up the evening and strikes Stella, whom he regards as siding against him with Blanche. After this violence, and contrary to Blanche’s advice, Stella returns to Stanley’s bed. The next morning Stanley overhears Blanche entreating her sister to leave him.
ACT II
Scene 1. Some weeks later Stanley tells Stella that he has a friend who is making inquiries about Blanche in her hometown of Laurel. When he and his now-pregnant wife go out for the evening, Blanche makes a sad and half-hearted attempt to seduce a young paper boy. She later goes out with Mitch on a date.
Scene 2. That night Mitch unburdens his heart to Blanche who, in turn, tells him of her brief marriage to a young homosexual and how she blames herself for his suicide.

American bass-baritone Ryan McKinny has been praised for his “elegant and articulate” vocalism (OC Register), as well as a powerful voice that “drips with gold” (Opera News).

He returns to Washington National Opera as Figaro in Le nozze di Figaro, Hawaii Opera Theater as Stanley Kowalski in A Streetcar Named Desire, Houston Grand Opera as Gunther in Götterdämmerung, and the Bayreuth Festival as Amfortas in Parsifal.

Considered the next great interpreter of the title role of Tosca, she has performed the role at Opera Carolina, Hawaii Opera Theatre, Arizona Opera, Lyric Opera Baltimore, Toledo Opera, Mill City Summer Opera, and Boston Lyric Opera. Opera News calls her interpretation “fresh and focused.” This season, she reprises the role of Tosca with Piedmont Opera, debuts with Anchorage Opera in gala concerts, performs Mildred in Happy Birthday Wanda June with Indianapolis Opera, the title role in La tragédie de Carmen with Eugene Opera, and Blanche DuBois in A Streetcar Named Desire with Hawaii Opera Theatre.

Many of our patrons have asked how they can provide support for HOT, and we wanted to mention several opportunities that may be of interest:
Gift Securities rather than CashReceive income from your gift as well as a Tax Deduction Provide income to HOT while benefiting your loved ones Name HOT as the beneficiary of a Will, Living Trust, Retirement Plan, or Life Insurance Policy
Whatever your needs and preferences, there is a planned giving opportunity that can work for you. For information about any of these opportunities, please contact Tracy Jefferson at (808) 683.7203 or by email at [email protected]. If you have already named HOT as a beneficiary of your estate, please let us know so that we can recognize you now as a member of our Legacy Society and thank you for your future support.
