Shiny Nebraska Arts Center Gropes for a Winning Lineup,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
ARTS funding may be shrinking in the United States,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but the boom in new arts facilities seems as robust as ever. Several elaborate complexes are under construction or in the design stage,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and after the long,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], dramatic process of planning,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], fundraising,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and building,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], they will all face key questions: How will these new halls be occupied? What attractions will be presented? How will they be supported? Who will be their audience? Like similar municipal and private projects,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the Lied Center for Performing Arts,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which opened in February here on the campus of the University of Nebraska at Lincoln (UNL),[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], will have to serve many masters. An initial bequest of $10 million from the estate of alumnus Ernst Lied was matched by individual,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], government,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and corporate grants,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], with the Nebraska state legislature,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], kicking in an additional $5 million for a permanent maintenance endowment. Former governor Robert Kerrey called the Lied ``the most important building to be built in Nebraska since the construction of the state capitol.''
Designed by the Omaha architectural firm of Henningson,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Durham Richardson,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the Lied has one handsome 2,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],278-seat auditorium,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], plus lecture rooms,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], warm-up studios,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], offices,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and a large,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], high space that will be used as a ``black box'' theater and named after UNL alumnus Johnny Carson. The main hall,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], wide and rather shallow so that all seats can be fairly close to the stage,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], is outfitted for excellent acoustics and is equipped with soundproof viewing rooms for latecomers and school groups. There are sweeping staircases and multileveled lobbies. The box office boasts an elaborate computer system,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which had already been in operation for several months by the time the hall opened,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], to take care of orders for this spring's events.
Programming for the Lied's initial season lines up high-art attractions like opera,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], ballet,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and symphony alongside musicals,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], pop,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and non-Western spectacle. An exclamation-studded subscription brochure coaxes readers to indulge in their fantasies as they sample the arts: an office worker in front of a computer has kicked off her high heels and is tying on toe shoes; a kid in sneakers and baseball cap plays the cello with one foot on his boom box; a farmer sits on a bale of hay playing the piano,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], with a rooster perching attentively by his side. One Lied Center staffer explained to me that Nebraska could still be considered a frontier state; just getting folks into a theater could be breaking new ground.
For the first season the Lied Center's mission,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], ``to present the widest range and highest quality of performing arts for Nebraskans,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],'' translates into an eclectic mix: international celebrities (Isaac Stern,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the Philadelphia Orchestra); homegrown talent (Opera/Omaha's ``Madama Butterfly'' and the Lincoln Symphony); classical art (the Joffrey Ballet's ``Le Sacre du Printemps''); Broadway (``Les Mis'erables''); and exotica (the Grand Kabuki and the Kodo drummers from Japan).
