2013 St. Louis Arts Awards - Excellence in the Arts -- Opera Theatre of Saint Louis
Opera Theatre of Saint Louis was founded in the spring of 1976 by Richard Gaddes with a small group of opera lovers who were determined to bring festival-quality opera to the St. Louis area. As of 2012, Opera Theatre has presented 22 world premieres and 23 American premieres, perhaps the highest percentage of new work in the repertory of any U.S. company. Described byThe Sunday Times of London as one of the few American companies worth the transatlantic fare, and by Opera Today as the leading summer opera destination in the United States, Opera Theatre of Saint Louis welcomed visitors from 45 states and 12 foreign countries in 2011.

mianotv - Fabulous Fox Theatre St. Louis Behind-the-Scenes
This is a behind-the-scenes look at some of the many people who make St. Louis' historic Fabulous Fox Theatre, well... FABULOUS! The Fabulous Fox is the jewel of St. Louis theaters and has been since it was built in 1929. The theater was nearly lost to the ravages of time until Leon and Mary Strauss came to its rescue in 1981. In just one year, with Mary Strauss acting as the Director of Restoration, the great theater was reborn, to the great joy of the citizens of St. Louis and surrounding cities. Today, it is one of a handful of beautifully restored movie palaces in the world and it remains a spectacular showplace; hosting the latest and greatest Broadway shows, as well as some of the biggest names in music. It seems every year the theater has some sort of major improvement like: new air conditioning, restored and renovated marquee and blade signs, state of the art sound and lighting, painstakingly restored lobby and auditorium ceilings, and a backstage expansion to accommodate the demands of Broadway Blockbusters. Without exception, every performer - indeed every PERSON - who enters this theater can't help but comment on its overwhelming magnificence and beauty.

Demonstrators 'disrupt' STL symphony singing a 'Requiem for Mike Brown'
Video and story by Rebecca Rivas
Reporter/video editor
St. Louis American newspaper
Twitter - @rebeccarivas
Just after intermission, about 50 people disrupted the St. Louis Symphony’s performance of Brahms Requiem on Saturday night, singing “Justice for Mike Brown.”
As symphony conductor Markus Stenz stepped to the podium to begin the second act of German Requiem, one middle-aged African-American man stood up in the middle of the theater and sang, “Which side are you on friend, which side are you on?”'
The song Which Side Are You On, was written by Florence Reece during the bitter labor struggles of Harlan County, Kentucky, and taken up by the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s.
In an operatic voice, another woman located a few rows away stood up and joined him singing, “Justice for Mike Brown is justice for us all.” Several more audience members sprinkled throughout the theater and in the balcony rose up and joined in the singing.
Those in the balcony lowered white banners about 15 feet long with black spray-painted letters that said, “ Requiem for Mike Brown 1996-2014” and “Racism lives here,” with an arrow pointed to a picture of the St. Louis Arch. Another banner said, “Rise up and join the movement.”
Stenz stood stoically and listened to the demonstrators’ performance. Some onlookers were outraged and start spewing expletives. Others stood up and started clapping. Most seemed stunned and simply watched.
The singing only went on for about two minutes before the demonstrators started chanting, “Black lives matter.” They pulled up their banners and dropped red paper hearts over the edge of the balcony onto the main floor orchestra seats, which stated “Requiem for Mike Brown.” Then they all voluntarily marched out together and left the theater. While they marched out, they received a round of applause from many of the audience members – as well as the musicians on stage.
Outside, symphony administrators huddled together discussing the demonstration, expressing dismay. When asked if they wanted to comment, they said no. The demonstrators had purchased tickets to the concert.
The St. Louis American tracked down and interviewed the organizer of the event – Sarah Griesbach, 42, a white woman who lives in the Central West End. She said that the death of Michael Brown, an unarmed teen who was shot and killed by a police officer in Ferguson, has opened her eyes to the inequalities that exist in St. Louis. She has been protesting since Brown was shot on Aug. 9.
“It is my duty and desire to try to reach out and raise that awareness peacefully but also to disrupt the blind state of white St. Louis, particularly among the people who are secure in their blindness,” Griesbach said.
Two weeks ago, she and another “middle-aged woman who wear our mom jeans pulled up way too high” held up a sign at a Cardinals game that said, “Racism lives here.” A pivotal moment for her was when people around them started chanting in response, “Hands up, don’t loot.”
She and her fellow protester Elizabeth Vega decided to try again at the symphony, which received a much warmer response. She believes that is because the audience was fairly diverse in ethnicity and age.
“There is an inclusivity that comes with that intellectual culture,” she said.
The group of demonstrators was also a mix of African Americans, Latino and white residents – from college kids to college professors, she said. There were “representatives” from Clayton, Webster Groves, South St. Louis, Central West End and Ferguson. Although she lives in the Central West End, her children attend school in Clayton. As a mother, she has been deeply affected by Brown’s death.
“This cannot be just a Ferguson issue,” she said.
The St. Louis American got in touch with Erika Ebsworth-Goold, publicist for the St. Louis Symphony, on Sunday afternoon. She said the musical piece that the demonstrators chose was appropriate because it is meant to “lift up the people who were left in time of tragedy.”
She did not feel the group interrupted the performance but “delayed” it, she said.
“The people audience had respect for what we were do at the symphony, and we are appreciative of that,” she said.
Organizer Elizabeth Vega said the group prefers to call it a “disruption,” rather than a delay.
“Many of us are artists ourselves, so we were very cognizant to not interrupt the performance after it had already began,” Vega said. “But we still wanted it to be a disruption that left people with a seed of thought.”

This concert, Theatre of the Escapists Tour 2012, took place on, 2/22/12, at The Pageant. There were new songs, there were old favorites, and there was sex. Needeless to say, this was one amazing night!
Propelling into Underground, off of 2011's Great Escape Artist, Perry Farrell and company immediately took the reigns of the night with smiles, energy, and most of all enthusiasm. As the lights were drawn to the stage, one couldn't help but notice the elaborate set-up: A stuffed bear, trapeze artists, a giant mold of two nude pin-up girls center stage, video monitors, Black Swan-styled costumes and the longest white gown you'll ever see. As Farrell careened back and forth, he sang I'll never give up the underground, tipping his hat to the days of counter-cultures passed. Where the current state of contemporary radio rock a.k.a. alternative rock is as stale as week-old bread, Jane's Addiction has retained and refined a vibrant, relevant image of the culture it fearlessly created. In the first show on the Great Escape Artist Tour, the boys in Jane's Addiction took the St. Louis, Mo. crowd by storm. - RFT

Tedeschi Trucks Band Drum Solo RIP Butch Trucks - St. Louis MO 01/25/17
Tedeschi Trucks 01/25/17 at the Peabody Theater in St. Louis. This was Derek Trucks first performance since the death of his uncle Butch Trucks, co-founding member and drummer for the Allman Brothers Band. They opened with Statesboro Blues most likely as a tribute to Butch. Late in the concert they performed what must have been an almost thirty minute jam to In memory of Elizabeth Reed, with a long drum solo that lasted over four minutes, you could almost feel Butch playing. RIP Butch Trucks, another great musician gone. Here is most of the solo, sorry I missed the first few seconds.
Great show as always by Susan Tedeschi and Derek Trucks. If you have not had the opportunity to see them, I highly recommend you get tickets next time they are in you area.
