    Parsifal and Canada: a Documentary Study

    Parsifal and Canada: A Documentary Study The Canadian Opera Company is preparing to stage Parsifal in Toronto for the first time in 115 years; seven performances are planned for the Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts from September 25 to October 18, 2020. Restrictions on public gatherings imposed as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic have placed the production in jeopardy. Wagnerians have so far suffered the cancellation of the COC’s Flying Dutchman, Chicago Lyric Opera’s Ring cycle and the entire Bayreuth Festival for 2020. It will be a hard blow if the COC Parsifal follows in the footsteps of a projected performance of Parsifal in Montreal over 100 years ago. Quinlan Opera Company from England, which mounted a series of 20 operas in Montreal in the spring of 1914 (including a complete Ring cycle), announced plans to return in the fall of 1914 for another feast of opera, including Parsifal. But World War One intervened, the Parsifal production was cancelled, and the Quinlan company went out of business. Let us hope that history does not repeat itself.1 While we await news of whether the COC production will be mounted, it is an opportune time to reflect on Parsifal and its various resonances in Canadian music history. This article will consider three aspects of Parsifal and Canada: 1) a performance history, including both excerpts and complete presentations; 2) remarks on some Canadian singers who have sung Parsifal roles; and 3) Canadian scholarship on Parsifal.

    . ,, ~01~ Pristine PACO 154 Fausto Cleva XR conducts Verdi - Otello R1 verdi PACO 154 Verdi's penultimate opera, as Milton Cross notes in his introductory comments, requires three principals of the highest calibre. Drawn from Shakespeare's play, and with the playwright's complex characterisation underpinn ing otello the opera, Otello needs a tenor who is both heroic yet capable of tenderness, a soprano who is a paragon of virtue yet also strong when confronted with false accusations level led against her, and a baritone whose inn er monologue stands in complete contrast to his public face. On the stage the singers convey th ese emotions visually and vocally, but, as we can judge from this radio broadcast, the very best singers can do it by voice alone. Mario Del Monaco was pre-eminent Otello in the world's leading opera houses between the mid 1950s and the otello maria del monac~ early 1960s. His bright and virile tone possesses just the right amount of heroism for the dramatic parts of the desdemona victoria de los r,i , . les score, and the listener is quickly confident that he w ill deliver all the role's show-stopping high notes with ease. Yet iago leonard warren for a tenor with something of a reputation for a 'stand and deliver' style, he is evidently capable of scaling back his emilia rosalind elias voice to suit the various moods of the role. The Act 1 love duet contains some very restrained singing as he blends cassia paul franke , .. -/.. his voice with our Desdemona, Victoria de los Angeles, and the anguish of t he final moments of Act 4 are beautifully conveyed.

Without their efforts, this performance would not have been possible. CENTENNIAL NOTE Robert Sirota was President of Manhattan School of Music from 2005 to 2012, during which time he also was a member of the Composition faculty. He wrote A Rush of Wings in 2008 especially for the MSM Chamber Sinfonia, which premiered the work on January 26, 2009 at Carnegie Hall’s Zankel Hall. The concert, conducted by Kenneth Kiesler, showcased the School’s Graduate Program in Orchestral Performance with faculty members playing side-by-side with students. MSM’s OP Program began in 1991 and Glenn Dicterow, then Concertmaster of the New York Philharmonic, was a founding faculty member.
