Honors Theses. 83. https://scholarlycommons.obu.edu/honors_theses/83 This Thesis is brought to you for free and open access by the Carl Goodson Honors Program at Scholarly Commons @ Ouachita. It has been accepted for inclusion in Honors Theses by an authorized administrator of Scholarly Commons @ Ouachita. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Gaston Leroux's 1911 novel, The Phantom of the Opera, has a considerable number of allusions, some of which are accessible to modern American audiences, like references to Romeo and Juilet. Many of the references, however, are very specific to the operatic world or to other somewhat obscure fields. Knowledge of these allusions would greatly enhance the experience of readers of the novel, and would also contribute to their ability to interpret it. Thus my thesis aims to be helpful to those who read The Phantom of the Opera by providing a set of notes, as it were, to explain the allusions, with an emphasis on the extended allusion of the Palais Garnier and the historical models for the heroine, Christine Daae. Notes on Translations At the time of this writing, three English translations are commercially available of The Phantom of the Opera.

  • THE MASK of ERIK by Rick Lai © 2007 Rick Lai [email protected] In
    THE MASK OF ERIK by Rick Lai © 2007 Rick Lai [email protected] In The Phantom of the Opera (1910), Gaston Leroux (1868-1927) created a colorful past for the title character who was also known as Erik. Leroux pretended that his novel was not a work of fiction. He perpetrated the hoax that the Phantom’s story had been unearthed through interviews with actual people including former employees of the Paris Opera House. A careful reading of the novel indicates that its events transpired decades before its year of publication. The novel’s prologue indicated that the story took place “not more than thirty years ago.” At one point, Erik made the farcical prediction that a young girl, Meg Giry, would be an Empress in 1885. The novel happened sometime between 1880 and 1884. Of the years available, I favor 1881 (1). The Phantom was born in a French town not far from Rouen. His exact year of birth was unstated, but it was probably around 1830 (2). The Phantom’s skeletal visage was a defect from birth. The makeup of Lon Chaney Sr. in the famous 1925 silent movie faithfully followed Leroux’s description of the Phantom’s face. Since the silent film was made in black and white, Chaney could never duplicate the bizarre yellow eyes of the Phantom. Very little is known of the Phantom’s parents (3). His father was a stonemason. The Phantom’s mother was repelled by her son’s ugliness. She refused to ever let him kiss her. Furthermore, she insisted that he wear a mask at all times.

Allegro, ma non troppo program notes Notes on the Program by Ken Meltzer Don Juan, Tone Poem after Nikolaus Lenau, opus 20 (1888-1889) ichard Strauss was born in Munich, Germany, on June 11, 1864, and died in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany, on September 8, 1949. The Rfirst performance of Don Juan took place in Weimar, Germany, on November 11, 1889, with the composer conducting the Court Orchestra in the Grand Ducal Theater of Weimar. Don Juan is scored for piccolo, three flutes, two oboes, English horn, two clarinets, two bassoons, contrabassoon, four horns, three trumpets, three trombones, tuba, timpani, orchestra bells, triangle, cymbals, suspended cymbals, harp, and strings. The legend of Don Juan seems to have originated in the 16th century. The tale of the libertine nobleman who is damned for his numerous seductions and unwillingness to repent has found expression in numerous works. The Austrian poet and philosopher Nikolaus Lenau (1802-50) offered his own, slightly different perspective in his 1844 poem Don Juan: My Don Juan is no hot-blooded man eternally pursuing women.
