The opera El Gato Montés, by composer-librettist Manuel Penella Moreno (1880-1939) premiered in 1916. The work achieved great public success in and outside of Spain, including a 10 week sold-out performance run in New York City in 1920. Penella‟s talent for composing lovely melodies is manifest in the music for El Gato Montés. The libretto is dramatic and effective. Its appeal to the public at large was demonstrated with its triumphant premiere and following successful performances. Ultimately, this opera met the same fate as the great majority of Spanish operas. It was set aside and forgotten. The only exception to this pattern was Manuel de Falla‟s (1876-1946) La vida breve (1913). The purpose of this study is to present Penella‟s El Gato Montés as an exceptional example of Spanish opera and present a brief history of the development of this genre, from its birth with the opera La púrpura de la rosa by Juan Hidalgo de Polanca in 1660, through the premiere of El Gato Montés in 1916. An analysis of the work will identify and discuss the variety of characteristics of Spanish society, culture and music which are incorporated in the opera, and make the opera a distinctly Spanish work. These characteristics include: the representation of Catholic morality and customs, machismo, familial aspects of a matriarchal society, the gypsies of Southern Spain and their cante flamenco, and the bullfight with its associated musical form, the pasodoble. Several of the criticisms that appeared at the time of the opera‟s premiere will be discussed, including the accusation that the opera was nothing more than an “españolada,” an artificial caricature of the true Spain. It is the author‟s opinion that El Gato Montés is a work worthy of consideration as an important contribution to Spanish music and the operatic repertoire. ix CHAPTER ONE A MISSED OPPORTUNITY: THE BEGINNINGS OF SPANISH OPERA Spain appears to have been detached from the cultural developments in Italy and France, be it by some form of voluntary aloofness and protectionism, or perhaps geographical by isolation, similar to that of England, with its own delayed development of an operatic style. There is some question as to whether the Spanish were truly interested in procuring their own operatic tradition, with the integration of their own native musical idioms. Louise Stein, a musicologist who has provided many insights into the development of Spanish musical theater, has explained the lack of prestige musicians suffered that seems to have been a prevalent attitude in Spain during the early development of opera in the seventeenth century. She affirms, in regards to the musicians‟ cultural endeavors: Spanish musicians have left us virtually no self-conscious literature describing their lives, their thoughts about music, or their aesthetic priorities. By themselves, these facts reveal a great deal about the subordinate position of the musicians in Spanish society, in comparison to the dramatists and stage designers with whom they worked. The leaders in cultural affairs, the thinkers who left unmistakable marks on their society, were writers, dramatists, and visual artists, not musicians.1 Ms. Stein also states: …opera in Spain was nearly always received as a genre supported by the elite and promoted by foreigners, such that its status as an “appropriate” national genre has been a matter of continued controversy…Since opera has generally been considered the greatest 1 Stein, Louise K.

  • Historical Background
    Historical Background Lesson 3 The Historical Influences… How They Arrived in Argentina and Where the Dances’ Popularity is Concentrated Today The Chacarera History: WHAT INFLUENCES MADE THE CHACARERA WHAT IT IS TODAY? HOW DID THESE INFLUENCES MAKE THEIR WAY INTO ARGENTINA? The Chacarera was influenced by the pantomime dances (the Gallarda, the Canario, and the Zarabanda) that were performed in the theaters of Europe (Spain and France) in the 1500s and 1600s. Later, through the Spanish colonization of the Americas, the Chacarera spread from Peru into Argentina during the 1800s (19th century). As a result, the Chacarera was also influenced by the local Indian culture (indigenous people) of the area. Today, it is enjoyed by all social classes, in both rural and urban areas. It has spread throughout the entire country except in the region of Patagonia. Popularity is concentrated in which provinces? It is especially popular in Santiago del Estero, Tucuman, Salta, Jujuy, Catamarca, La Rioja and Cordoba. These provinces are located in the Northwest, Cuyo, and Pampas regions of Argentina. There are many variations of the dance that are influenced by each of the provinces (examples: The Santiaguena, The Tucumana, The Cordobesa) *variations do not change the essence of the dance The Gato History: WHAT INFLUENCES MADE THE GATO WHAT IT IS TODAY? HOW DID THESE INFLUENCES MAKE THEIR WAY INTO ARGENTINA? The Gato was danced in many Central and South American countries including Mexico, Peru, Chile, Uruguay, and Paraguay, however, it gained tremendous popularity in Argentina. The Gato has a very similar historical background as the other playfully mischievous dances (very similar to the Chacarera).
