New album Here in the Pitch is her first release in half a decade, and working once again with her trusted collaborators – multi-instrumentalist/engineer Al Carlson and keyboardist Matt McDermott – Pratt also enlisted the rhythm duo of bassist Spencer Zahn and percussionist Mauro Refosco (David Byrne, Atoms for Peace) to help realize her vision. Pratt quickly envisioned a more expansive set of influences – “big panoramic sounds that make you think of the ocean and California” – and the results are evident in the dynamic repertoire of instruments accompanying her graceful, dreamlike melodies.

From the opening seconds of “Life Is,” it’s clear that Here in the Pitch is a very different kind of album from Jessica Pratt. The revered Los Angeles artist has become one of the most singular and distinctive songwriters of her generation, largely through the bewitching sound of her acoustic guitar and vocals: a mystical, elusive blend that conjures deep emotional responses from her devoted (and patient) audience. To introduce her first release in half-a-decade, however, she greets us with neither her breathtaking vocals nor the delicate, sophisticated strum of her guitar. Instead, Pratt’s fourth album begins with a percussion roll that nods instantly to the grand, orchestral style of ’60s pop hits like the Walker Brothers’ “The Sun Ain’t Gonna Shine Anymore.”

Parthenope

San Carlo Theatre

In 17th-century Scotland, where irreconcilable clans clash, a young woman falls victim to her own family: a forced marriage will lead her to murder and madness. It is all the fever of romantic Bel Canto that ignites this dark masterpiece by Donizetti , sublimated by the emblematic production of Nicolas Joel, Ezio Frigerio and Franca Squarciapino . A double cast alternating between a star-studded cast and the most brilliant performers of the young generation.
