PRESIDENT ALEX'S MESSAGE
Fellow
Rotarians-
I
hope that everyone is enjoying their Summer. We have a lot of exciting things
coming to Roswell Rotary, particularly with our Golf and Tennis Tournament
(please sign up with Bob Clarkson and his committee to see how you can help and
play) as well as our Veteran’s Initiatives- Honor Bus Trip for November 11th.
Stay tuned! These will both be all hands
on deck events.
This
week, our guest is Tomer Zvulun. Tomer is bringing an exciting
presentation on behalf of the Atlanta Opera. Please come on time so that you do
not miss out on the presentation and rumor has it a guest performance or two. Tomer Zvulun - The Man Behind the Opera Curtain
General and Artistic Director of
the Atlanta Opera since 2013, Israeli born Tomer Zvulun
is one of opera’s most exciting stage directors, earning consistent praise for
his creative vision, often described as cinematic and fresh. His work has been
presented and awarded domestically and internationally by prestigious opera
houses. He launched Atlanta Opera’s Discoveries Series, he created the first
young artist program in Atlanta Opera’s history, tripled the company’s annual
revenue, created a film studio, and built a theatre in a circus tent
where performances were conducted safely during the pandemic. Tomer’s work is
being taught at Harvard Business School and back at home, Tomer gave a 2018
TEDx “Solve for X” Talk at Emory in Atlanta. Opera in the Age of iPhones,
Tomer warns us, “When art and design are not interactive, they are
broken. See his approach to reach new audiences with a 500-year-old artform: https://tomerzvulun.com/gallery
