To List of PerformancesMediaTo List of PerformancesLearn moreAnyone who sees her is already lost and anyone who wants to kiss her will, sooner or later, get bitten. In droves, men are dashed to pieces on the apparently so cuddly Lulu as if she were the rock of the Loreley. Corpses pave her way, she is a femme fragile and a femme fatale all at the same time, the 'prototype of a woman', the most lethal female figure in the history of opera. But it is only the glance of men that makes her into the personae in which we meet her: She creates the image of a woman he craves and on this constraining perspective the object of his lusts must again be destroyed. Alban Berg has described Lulu's path in subtle symmetry, with a score that bears within it the entire wealth of the history of music's form and colour. 
Act One
Scene 1

Lulu has been in a relationship with Dr Schön, the editor of an influential newspaper, for a long time. He has known Lulu since she was a child.
Lulu is now married to married to a physician, Dr Goll.
Dr Schön and his son Alwa meet in the artist's studio. Lulu is posing for the artist, who is painting her portrait.
Left alone with Lulu, the artist chases her round the studio proclaiming his love.
On his return, Dr Goll discovers his wife in the arms of the artist and immediately has a heart attack.

Scene 2

Lulu is now married to the artist, who has become successful and very rich, thanks to the patronage of Dr Schön.
She receives a visit from an old man, Schigolch, who is in some way part of her dubious past. Later she has a visit from Dr Schön. The latter informs her in no uncertain terms of his imminent marriage and tells her that he has decided to end their relationship.
Schön has a conversation with the artist in which he reveals the truth of his situation. Once the artist has learned the merest fragment of the story of Lulu's past – and the fact that his wife is the mistress of his patron – he commits suicide.
Scene 3

As the protégé of Dr Schön, Lulu dances on stage at a performance for which Alwa has composed the music. From the stage, Lulu catches sight of Dr Schön and his fiancée in the audience. Lulu faints and refuses to dance any more. Dr Schön is extremely annoyed and goes backstage. He accuses Lulu of merely pretending to have fainted and insists that she should carry on dancing. After an agonizing conversation with Dr Schön, Lulu forces him to write a letter to his fiancée breaking off their engagement.
Act Two

Scene 1

Lulu is now married to Dr Schön but their life together has become a nightmare. He is irritated by simply everything, including the presence of Countess Geschwitz, a secret admirer of Lulu, in their lives. He imagines his wife has lovers hidden everywhere, even behind the curtain over the door.
Schön discovers Lulu at home in male company: that of his son Alwa, an athlete from the circus and a schoolboy. In a fit of rage he urges Lulu to kill herself but, instead, she shoots him.
Lulu is arrested.
Scene 2
After some time Lulu returns from prison.
Risking her own life, Countess Geschwitz has organized Lulu's escape. The plan involves the countess changing places with Lulu in the prison bed while Lulu flees the country with false papers. As part of the plan Lulu is meant to be accompanied by Schigolch and the athlete in the role of her fiancé, but the athlete decides to have nothing to do with it.
In the end Lulu flees abroad with Alwa, the son of the deceased Dr Schön.
Act Three

Scene 1
Lulu is now on the run from the police and finds herself under fire on all sides from the people who are pursuing her: various blackmailers and tormentors demanding love and gratitude. The marquis, a pimp, threatens to hand her over to the police if she will not work in a brothel in Cairo. Countess Geschwitz demands love, and gratitude, as a reward for everything she has done for her. The athlete puts her under pressure with demands for money. Schigolch also asks for money for his new mistress.
Lulu flees from her pursuers.
Scene 2
Lulu is working as a prostitute. She ekes out an existence in poverty in a remote place with Alwa, Schigolch and the countess.
Lulu receives three clients one after the other: the dumb professor, the negro, who kills Alwa, and Jack the Ripper, who kills both Lulu and the countess.

At the age of eleven he gave his first public performance as a pianist with the Omsk Symphony Orchestra. In 1990 his family (his father a violinist and his mother a musicologist) relocated to Vorarlberg where his father worked as an orchestra musician and music teacher. Petrenko first continued his studies in Feldkirch before moving to Vienna to study conducting at the Academy of Music and Performing Arts. 
His first job after graduation took him directly to the Vienna Volksoper where he was hired by Nikolaus Bachler as Kapellmeister.

It was in 2001 in his role as conductor of Wagner's Der Ring des Nibelungen, in the production by Christine Mielitz and with scenery by Alfred Hrdlicka, that he first achieved international acclaim.

To List of PerformancesJulia Migenes at the 2009 Deauville American Film Festival
Julia Migenes (born March 13, 1943)[1] is an Americansoprano working primarily in musical theatre repertoire. She was born on the Lower East Side of New York to a family of Greek and Irish-Puerto Rican descent. She is sometimes credited as Julia Migenes-Johnson. She attended The High School of Music & Art in New York City.[2][3]
Julia Migenes played Tevye's second daughter, Hodel, in the original Broadway production of the long-running musical Fiddler on the Roof. She played Ciboletta in the 1973 film Eine Nacht in Venedig (re-released 2008). She also starred in the 1984 film of Carmen.
Early Career on Broadway[edit]At age seven, Migenes originated the role of ‘Ngana' in the first national tour of the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical South Pacific; she alternated in the role with her sister Maria. Also in the cast was her brother, John, in the role of Jerome, and her half-sister Jeanette as Bloody Mary's Assistant (and understudy to Bloody Mary).[4] Reportedly, the siblings made enough money from the tour to buy their family a small house in the Bronx.[5]
She made her Broadway debut in the musical Carnival! She was a replacement understudy for the lead role of ‘Lili.' Migenes performed the role from April 2 to April 14, 1962 when lead actress Anna Maria Alberghetti took vacation.[6]
Migenes then took on the leading role of ‘Maria' in the 1964 Broadway revival of West Side Story which played a limited run from April 8 – May 2, 1964 at City Center.[7]
Migenes created the role of ‘Hodel,' the second oldest of Tevye's daughters in the original Broadway cast of Fiddler on the Roof. While the production ran for almost eight years (lasting over 3,200 performances and winning nine Tony Awards), Migenes' tenure extended from the production's first preview on September 17, 1964 through April 1, 1967. Mimi Turque succeeded her in the role of Hodel.[8]
Personal life[edit]Migenes has been married four times. The first time was at age 18 to a singer whose identity remains unknown; the union was annulled two years later in 1963. Her second marriage to Danjo Hotnik ended in divorce, but brought Migenes her first daughter, Martina (born circa 1975).[9] In 1979 Migenes married Jervis Johnson, with whom she had a second daughter, Jessica Allegra (born 1981).[10] She married Hungarian film director Peter Medak in 1988; they divorced in 2003.[7]
