  • 178 Chapter 6 the Closing of the Kroll: Weimar
    Chapter 6 The Closing of the Kroll: Weimar Culture and the Depression The last chapter discussed the Kroll Opera's success, particularly in the 1930-31 season, in fulfilling its mission as a Volksoper. While the opera was consolidating its aesthetic identity, a dire economic situation dictated the closing of opera houses and theaters all over Germany. The perennial question of whether Berlin could afford to maintain three opera houses on a regular basis was again in the air. The Kroll fell victim to the state's desire to save money. While the closing was not a logical choice, it did have economic grounds. This chapter will explore the circumstances of the opera's demise and challenge the myth that it was a victim of the political right. The last chapter pointed out that the response of right-wing critics to the Kroll was multifaceted. Accusations of "cultural Bolshevism" often alternated with serious appraisal of the strengths and weaknesses of any given production. The right took issue with the Kroll's claim to represent the nation - hence, when the opera tackled works by Wagner and Beethoven, these efforts were more harshly criticized because they were perceived as irreverent. The scorn of the right for the Kroll's efforts was far less evident when it did not attempt to tackle works crucial to the German cultural heritage. Nonetheless, political opposition did exist, and it was sometimes expressed in extremely crude forms. The 1930 "Funeral Song of the Berlin Kroll Opera", printed in the Neue Zeitschrift für Musik, may serve as a case in point.

Everyone who watches Where does a butterfly is struck by its beauty, elegance and lightness.

It unfolds “our imagination’s most beautiful alternative world.” Mozart himself confessed, “I need only to hear talk about opera, I need only to be in the theatre and hear voices – it suffices to transport me utterly.” The Theater an der Wien, the new opera house, is aiding a development in our city that no one can now fail to notice: more and more people with an interest in culture, and younger people too, are going to the opera! They are looking for a space where dreams and longings can unfold freely with great emotion and even pathos – and the opera provides a meeting place for them: everything appears bathed in “bright” light, and in this light one is drawn in by enchanting sounds.

  • VICTOR DE SABATA Born April 10, 1892 in Trieste; Died December 11, 1967 in Santa Margherita Ligure
    VICTOR DE SABATA Born April 10, 1892 in Trieste; died December 11, 1967 in Santa Margherita Ligure La Notte di Plàton (“Plato’s Night”) (1923) PREMIERE OF WORK: Rome, November 25, 1923 Augusteo Orchestra of the Accademia di Santa Cecilia Victor de Sabata, conductor APPROXIMATE DURATION: 21 minutes INSTRUMENTATION: two piccolos, three flutes, three oboes, English horn, three clarinets, bass clarinet, two bassoons, contrabassoon, four horns, three trumpets, three trombones, tuba, timpani, percussion, celesta, two harps and strings The Italian conductor Victor de Sabata was extremely important to the artistic excellence of the Pittsburgh Symphony during a period when it had no Music Director (1948-1952). During those seasons, de Sabata conducted the PSO four to six weeks annually. His appearances were the high point of each year, breaking box office records and inspiring the orchestra to electrifying performances. Sadly, a heart attack forced him to stop conducting in 1953, but he had bridged the gap between Music Directors Fritz Reiner and William Steinberg. * * * Victor de Sabata was a gifted composer, a virtuoso violinist and pianist and competent performer on most of the orchestral instruments, and a conductor regarded by many as second only to Toscanini among Italian maestros and by some as more than his equal. De Sabata was born in April 1892 in Trieste, where his father was a choir director and voice teacher and his mother a talented amateur musician. Victor, immersed in music as a youngster, started playing piano at four and composed a gavotte for that instrument two years later and an orchestral work when he was twelve.
