The Three Tenors to star
in opera at Metropolitan
PAVAROTTI
NEW YORK (AP) — For the first time, the Three
Tenors — Jose Carreras, Placido
Domingo and Luciano Pavarotti
— will all appear at the Metro
politan Opera on the same night.
They will not be giving a trio
concert. Each will star in one
act of a different opera.
The Met announced the May
11 program on Wednesday and
said the evening will be a bene
fit for the company’s pension
fund. James Levine will conduct, .
with the Metropolitan Opera or- |
chestra, chorus and ballet.
Ticket prices range from
$100 to $1,000 for the per
formance and $12,750 to
$2,500 for the performance
and banquet afterwards with
the artists at the opera house.
The evening will begin with
Act 2 of Giordano’s “Andrea Che
nier,” with Domingo in the title role. Act 4 of Bizet’s
“Carmen” will follow, with Carreras as Don Jose.
The program will conclude with Act 3 of Puccini’s
“Turandot,” with Pavarotti as Calaf.
Swank, filming The Gift in Savannah, Ga., said
her publicist sent her doughnuts and the movie’s
crew gave her a cake with “a little Oscar guy on it.”
She was nominated Tuesday for best actress
for her gender-bending role in Boys Don't Cry as a
real-life woman who posed as a man and ended
up a murder victim. Swank won a Golden Globe
for the role last month.
Her co-star in The Gift, Cate Blanchett, lived
through the Oscar hoopla last year with her nom
ination for Elizabeth.
“It’s really nice to have someone on the set to
share that feeling with,” Swank said.
“She’s been able to say, ‘I know how you feel,”
really without having to say anything.”

LOS ANGELES (AP) — All around, Oscar nom
ination day was a sweet one for Hilary Swank.
TOKYO (AP) — Conductor Seiji Ozawa said
Wednesday he has established a music school in
Tokyo to help Asian musicians learn to express
their emotions.
“What’s important for you when you go to a
concert is to be moved,” the longtime Boston
Symphony Orchestra conductor said in a speech
to foreign journalists.
“Oriental people are kind of shy to express or
give feeling.”
The Seiji Ozawa Music Academy has already
selected its first group of young virtuosos to at
tend the school for two months of intensive coach
ing and performance.
The 64-year-old Ozawa is in his 27th year as
conductor of the BSO, making him the longest-
serving music director at a major orchestra.
