One comment which really stuck in my memory was a gentleman describing how he had always wanted to sing at school but had been told he was not good enough, and how he was grateful now for the opportunity (Seth Richardson, Project Manager). 2 Summary Opera Holland Park’s The Pirates of Penzance has proven to be an extremely successful pilot intergenerational project for KS2 primary school children (Year 5) and individuals with varying forms and stages of dementia and Alzheimer’s. Part-funded by Public Health, two KS2 year 5 classes from St Charles Primary School (RBKC) and service users from a nearby Alzheimer’s day centre, Chamberlain House, enjoyed a variety of activities based around popular themes and music from Gilbert & Sullivan’s The Pirates of Penzance, culminating with a performance of the operetta delivered by a professional cast of opera singers. Participants took part in a series of workshops, both independently and jointly, with children from St Charles Primary School travelling to Chamberlain house for combined sessions.

In this ground-breaking book, Derek B. Scott examines the cultural transfer of operetta from the German stage to Britain and the USA and offers a historical and critical survey of these operettas and their music. In the period 1900–1940, over sixty operettas were produced in the West End, and over seventy on Broadway. A study of these stage works is important for the light they shine on a variety of social topics of the period – from modernity and gender relations to new technology and new media – and these are investigated in the individual chapters. This book is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core at doi.org/10.1017/9781108614306. derek b. scott is Professor of Critical Musicology at the University of Leeds.

  • Musicien. 1 PRÉSENTATION
    Offenbach, Jacques - musicien. 1 PRÉSENTATION Offenbach, Jacques (1819-1880), violoncelliste et compositeur allemand, naturalisé français (1860), considéré comme le fondateur de l’opérette. Né à Cologne, dans la famille d’un cantor de synagogue et violoniste, Jacques (en réalité Jakob) Offenbach étudie le violon, puis le violoncelle dès l'âge de neuf ans. En 1833, son père l’amène à Paris et réussit à le faire admettre au Conservatoire, malgré ses origines étrangères. Il n’y reste qu’un an, devient violoncelliste à l'orchestre de l'Opéra-Comique, qu’il quitte dès 1835 pour une carrière soliste de musique de chambre. En 1850, il est appelé à diriger la musique à la Comédie-Française. Compositeur depuis l’enfance, il a pris quelques leçons avec Jacques Halévy en 1835, et livré régulièrement des mélodies ou pièces courtes comme l’Alcôve qui remporte, en 1847, un grand succès. Il espère être joué à l’Opéra-Comique. 2 LA GRANDE PÉRIODE CRÉATRICE En attendant, il fonde en 1855 son propre théâtre, les Bouffes-Parisiens, et rencontre le succès dès le premier spectacle, grâce aux Deux aveugles. Directeur jusqu’en 1861, compositeur, chef d’orchestre, metteur en scène, il livre continûment, sur des livrets de Ludovic Halévy, auquel se joint ensuite Henri Meilhac, des ouvrages nouveaux, parmi lesquels Orphée aux enfers (1858), la Chanson de Fortunio (1861), la Belle Hélène (1864), Barbe-Bleue (1866), la Vie parisienne (1866), la Grande- Duchesse de Gérolstein (1867), la Périchole (1868). Il triomphe aussi à l’étranger, surtout à Vienne. Après la chute du Second Empire, bien que la faveur du public soit moindre en raison de l’évolution du goût et de la présence de nouveaux auteurs comme Charles Lecocq, elle se maintient toutefois, tant lors de reprises, comme la Belle Hélène en 1876, que pour des créations comme Madame Favart ou la Fille du Tambour-major (1879), mais n’empêche pas la faillite, en 1875, de son théâtre de la Gaîté-Lyrique, fondé en 1873.

  • Offenbach Et L'opéra-Comique
    Offenbach et l’opéra-comique Lionel Pons avril 2017 Les rapports de Jacques Offenbach (1819-1880) avec le genre opéra-comique relèvent, tout au long de la vie créatrice du compositeur, d’un paradoxe amoureux. La culture lyrique d’Offenbach, son expérience en tant que violoncelliste dans l’orchestre de l’Opéra-Comique, son goût personnel pour ce genre si français, qui ne dissimule pas sa dette envers le dernier tiers du XVIIIe siècle vont nécessairement le pousser à s’intéresser au genre. Le répertoire de François Adrien Boieldieu (1775-1834), de Ferdinand Hérold (1791-1833), de Nicolò Isouard (1773-1818) lui est tout à fait familier, et quoique d’un esprit particulièrement mordant, il en apprécie le caractère sentimental et la délicatesse de touche. Et presque naturellement, il développe pourtant une conscience claire de ce que réclame impérativement la survie du genre. Offenbach sauveteur de l’opéra-comique ? L’opéra-comique, tel qu’Offenbach le découvre en ce début de XIXe siècle, est l’héritier direct des ouvrages d’André-Ernest-Modeste Grétry (1741-1813), de Pierre-Alexandre Monsigny (1729-1817) ou de Nicolas Dalayrac (1753-1809). Le genre est le fruit d’une période transitionnelle (il occupe dans le répertoire français la place chronologique du classicisme viennois outre Rhin, entre le crépuscule baroque et l’affirmation du romantisme), et reflète assez logiquement le goût de l’époque pour une forme de sentimentalité, sensible en France dans toutes les disciplines artistiques entre 1760 et 1789. Les gravures de Jean-Baptiste Greuze (1725-1805), l’architecture du Hameau de Marie-Antoinette (1783-1876), due à Richard Mique (1728-1794), l’orientation morale de L’autre Tartuffe ou la mère coupable (1792) de Pierre-Augustin Caron de Beaumarchais (1732-1799), La nouvelle Héloïse (1761) de Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778) ou Paul et Virginie (1787) d’Henri Bernardin de Saint-Pierre (1737-1814) portent témoignage de cette tendance esthétique.
