  • Filumena and the Canadian Identity a Research Into the Essence of Canadian Opera
    Filumena and The Canadian Identity A Research into the Essence of Canadian Opera Alexandria Scout Parks Final thesis for the Bmus-program Icelandic Academy of the Arts Music department May 2020 Filumena and The Canadian Identity A Research into the Essence of Canadian Opera Alexandria Scout Parks Final Thesis for the Bmus-program Supervisor: Atli Ingólfsson Music Department May 2020 This thesis is a 6 ECTS final thesis for the B.Mus program. You may not copy this thesis in any way without consent from the author. Abstract In this thesis I sought to identify the essence of Canadian opera and to explore how the opera Filumena exemplifies that essence. My goal was to first establish what is unique about Canadian ​ opera. To do this, I started by looking into the history of opera composition and performance in Canada. By tracing these two interlocking histories, I was able to gather a sense of the major bodies of work within the Canadian opera repertoire. I was, as well, able to deeper understand the evolution, and at some points, stagnation of Canadian opera by examining major contributing factors within this history. My next steps were to identify trends that arose within the history of opera composition in Canada. A closer look at many of the major works allowed me to see the similarities in terms of things such as subject matter. An important trend that I intend to explain further is the use of Canadian subject matter as the basis of the operas’ narratives. This telling of Canadian stories is one aspect unique to Canadian opera.

Eine Weltkarriere scheint auf ihn zu warten. Doch dann sucht der Krieg Europa heim, alles kommt anders… Im Juli 1937 hat der 18jährige Henryk Szeryng gerade einmal 8 Monate in Paris studiert, als er sein Studium am Konservatorium beim Abschlusskonzert mit dem Prestigeträchtigen und begehrten ersten Preis der Kohorte abschließt. Neben Szeryng erhält der ebenfalls bald zur Weltelite gehörende Geiger Yfrah Neaman diese Auszeichnung. Der später legendäre Solist und langjährige Star-Konzertmeister der Berliner Philharmoniker, Michel Schwalbé, bekommt dagegen nur den zweiten Preis. Ein Detail am Rande, das immerhin illustriert, was für ein Niveau die Pariser Professoren in dieser Prüfungsphase 1937 serviert bekommen. In einigen biografischen Abrissen (ausführliche Biografien gibt es noch nicht) liest man nun, Szeryngs Eltern hätten ihm zum Pariser Abschluss eine wertvolle Geige das Cremoneser Meisters Andrea Guarneri geschenkt.

    ARAM KHACHATURIAN 1903–1978 Violin Concerto in D minor 1 I Allegro con fermezza 13.58 2 II Andante sostenuto 12.15 3 III Allegro vivace 9.01 PYOTR ILYICH TCHAIKOVSKY 1840–1893 4 Souvenir d’un lieu cher, Op.42 : No.1 10.01 Méditation (orch. Glazunov) 45.29 ITZHAK PERLMAN violin Israel Philharmonic Orchestra/Zubin Mehta 2 Itzhak Perlman, Zubin Mehta and producer Suvi Raj Grubb Photo: © Gregory Rozanski 3 KHACHATURIAN: VIOLIN CONCERTO For a long time the sole preserve of Russian violinists, such as Mischa Elman, and, above all, Soviet musicians such as Leonid Kogan, Julian Sitkovetsky and Igor Oistrakh, Khachaturian’s Violin Concerto had only been recorded by a tiny number of Western artists (notably Ruggiero Ricci and Henryk Szeryng) before Perlman laid down this version. Dedicated to David Oistrakh, whose performances of it, both live and in the studio, remain legendary, the work was written during the summer of 1940, while the composer was staying in his home to the west of Moscow, a haven of peace amid the pine forests. “There, I worked with ease… the themes burst from me in such profusion that I struggled to organise them”, he was to write. The effortlessness, spontaneity, acerbity and flexibility of Khachaturian’s melodic inventiveness are particularly evident in the Andante sostenuto, written in a free, almost improvised style, which evokes the art of the ashoughs , Armenian folk musicians. Very much the heart of the concerto as a whole, this central episode is framed by a opening movement with a first theme full of energy and a second which is more languorous, and a finale whose palpable folk inspiration calls on a display of ebullient and obsessively repetitive virtuosity.
