Throughout the past year, I've had the opportunity to visit several stunning historic theaters across the country. Some of my favorite theaters include the Carpenter Theater in Richmond, the Temple Theatre in Saginaw, the Grenada Theater in Santa Barbara, and the Palace Theater in Waterbury. While many may not consider touring theaters when visiting cities, these venues offer a remarkable insight into entertainment history. Most of these theaters were constructed in the 1920s, initially serving as vaudeville houses before transitioning into movie theaters with Wurlitzer organs accompanying silent films and eventually returning to hosting live performances.

The Palace Theater, with its luxurious tomato-red velvet curtain, has hosted a myriad of iconic performers over the years, from Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, and Jackie Gleason to Fleetwood Mac, Bob Dylan, and the Grateful Dead.

In 1924, during a performance by magician Harry Houdini, a crew had to cut an 8-foot-wide hole in the stage floor for a trap door. The hole was later patched up. Unfortunately, when Ringling Bros and Barnum & Bailey Circus visited, an elephant named Shirley fell through the patched hole from Houdini’s act several years earlier. Sadly, the management had to put the animal down as they could not rescue it. Shirley, the elephant, is now part of Palace Theater lore as one of the four friendly spirits that supposedly haunt the theater.

In contrast to today's black box-style theaters designed to accommodate various stage productions, these historic theaters, with their gleaming neon marquees, elegant lobbies, gold detailing, crystal chandeliers, and Art Deco carvings, were solely intended to transport their audiences from the mundane of everyday life to a magical world. The sumptuous plushness of the velvet seats instantly makes you feel like you're about to experience something extraordinary.

During the pandemic, people stopped attending live shows for health and financial reasons. Still, they continued to stream music, films, and TV in record numbers, proving that entertainment is a necessary commodity. There was a prevailing notion that live theater was a luxury. If that notion still holds, creating elaborate, glamorous theater spaces that encourage people to dress up, celebrate, and experience the joys of life is truly invaluable.

Watching performances by Itzhak Perlman and Rohan De Silva in these beautiful settings is a treasure.

One thing that jazz has going for it above classical is that they shout out the names of the soloists on stage and everyone goes crazy. They should introduce that into classical concerts. Soloist plays a cadenza and the conductor just screams ITZHAK PERLMAN and everyone cheers. This post is about Corrado Giuffredi's performance of An American In Paris.

This is the love theme that I have chosen for Fingon & Maedhros.

When you have 3 minutes to spare, you can picture those two doomed Noldor and listen to “their” theme here.

This piece is from the 1939 film adaptation of Wuthering Heights, composed by the great Alfred Newman.

My mind immediately went here when searching for a Russingon theme, particularly this sorrowful violin version by Itzhak Perlman. Wuthering Heights itself is far from a perfect comparison to these two, but the initial beginnings (childhood friends who fall in love) and the aftermath (one dies, the other goes mad) are strikingly similar.

It’s a song full of pain and longing and innocence lost, so well exemplified by Russingon’s story - especially as they spend so much time apart for a variety of reasons, and this song makes me picture them, separated but each thinking about the other…and eventually Maedhros left alone to hallucinate Fingon in his madness…and ages later, re-embodied Fingon left alone to wander the places in Valinor where he and Maedhros used to rendezvous.

Hope y’all like it. :)

A towering work. One of Perlman's greatest performances. Professor Schickele was a musical genius for the ages. Let us marvel at his work.
