IN the following pages I purpose to give, not a history of the Theatre Royal, but a chronicle of the most important theatrical events which have oc- curred therein, from the time it was first opened to the public to the date of its most sad and unfor- tunate destruction. The data which I have col- lected will be found useful to the historian of the future and such I cannot doubt will be found at no distant period who will weave the salient facts into a consecutive and complete narrative. This has not been my object. I have sought merely to put together, as far as possible, in chronological order, the notable events which have taken place iv INTRODUCTION. since the Theatre was opened, of the vast majority of which I myself have been an eye-witness. My original intention was of narrower scope, as I purposed dealing merely with the annals of Italian Opera, which of themselves could not fail to be highly interesting to music lovers and play-goers, not only in Dublin, but throughout Ireland, and to many friends within and without the operatic pro- fession beyond the "silver streak." The advice of friends, whose opinions are in the highest degree worthy of respect with regard to all matters con- nected with the Dublin stage, induced me to enlarge the plan of the work, so as to include the entire period of the theatrical existence of the Royal, and to embrace its dramatic history as well as that which relates to the lyric stage. I have therefore noticed, in chronological order, the principal events which took place in the Royal during the whole period of its existence as a Theatre, the appearances of renowned actors, actresses and INTRODUCTION. V vocalists, the productions of famous plays and operas, together with other incidents and events which I thought likely to interest my readers. The casts of the Italian Operas will, I confidently -expect, be found exact and complete in every essential, and the record of the successive' appear- ances in Dublin of the most brilliant stars of the operatic firmament, will, no doubt, have a special interest for Irish amateurs. " In the compilation of the Annals of the Old House" in Hawkins-street, I have availed myself of all sources of information at my disposal news- paper files, collections of play-bills, books and pro- grammes, private memoranda and diaries, and my own notes, which go over a period of fifty-four years, during which I have had the honour of being associated with the National Theatre. The work has been to me a labour of love ; and no one will be more pleased if the chronicle that I have set down in the following pages should form vi INTRODUCTION. the basis of a more extended and elaborate history of the Theatre Royal. It is a gratification to me that I have been enabled to collect in proper sequence, to give form and shape to the record of events, especially some which are preserved only by tradition, or are hid away in places not easily accessible. I am fully aware of many defects in work but I trust to the my ; good-nature of my readers to overlook what is defective for the sake of whatever of interest they may discover.

Usually this is because they do not realize with what ease Franz Liszt and convenience a Steinway can at his Steinway be bought.

Elle possède les meilleurs auteurs dont les productions, après s’être fait connaître à Paris, alimentent les scènes de province et sont, en assez grand nombre, traduites pour l’étranger, quand elles n’y sont pas représentées en langue française, comme en Russie, par exemple. Le théâtre entre pour beaucoup dans les causeries du monde. On pourrait même lui savoir gré de lutter souvent sans désavantage avec la politique qui tend à tout absorber. Que de bonnes soirées passées au spectacle et quelle agréable distraction nous donne une pièce bien jouée par des acteurs de talent ! Il est peu de personnes qui restent insensibles à ce genre de divertissement. On peut encore remarquer qu’il laisse un souvenir plus durable que bien d’autres incidents de la vie. Après dix et vingt ans, quand on a oublié une foule de choses, on se souvient parfaitement d’une comédie qui a fait plaisir et l’on en cite volontiers quelques traits heureux.

  • Decentralising Via Russia: Glinka's a Life for the Tsar in Nice, 1890
    1 Decentralising via Russia: Glinka’s A Life for the Tsar in Nice, 1890 Published Cambridge Opera Journal, Vol.27, No.1 (March 2015), pp.35-62 Abstract On 30 January 1890, the audience at the Théâtre Municipal in Nice witnessed something extraordinary. Midway through the first public performance of a Russian opera in France, Glinka’s A Life for the Tsar, the chorus and orchestra broke into a rendition of the Russian national anthem, followed by the ‘Marseillaise’. Both anthems were then repeated, with the audience calling out ‘Vive la Russie!’, ‘Vive la France!’ With France and Russia on the verge of an historic alliance, the evening was proclaimed a political and an artistic triumph. The success of this unusual event, I suggest, can be explained further by considering the context of operatic decentralisation in France, in conjunction with the arrival of the new director at the Théâtre, Raoul Gunsbourg. As a result of local and personal imperatives, the performance came to resonate nationally, with A Life serving as an unlikely emblem of modernity, while also bringing one peripheral French region strongly into Paris’s purview. *** In 1891, Charme dangereux, the latest release from the prolific novelist André Theuriet, hit the shelves. It told the story of a staid Parisian, Jacques, who succumbs to the charms of a mysterious Russian princess, the unforgettably named Mania Liebling, while vacationing in Nice. She first catches his eye at the Théâtre Municipal during a performance of Don Giovanni: 2 After the conclusion of the trio des masques, the singers were recalled and an ovation was given to Ludkof.

  • Cailliez, Les Acteurs Italiens
    LES ACTEURS ITALIENS DE LA VIE MUSICALE EN FRANCE AU XIXe SIÈCLE Approche prosopographique et analyse des réseaux Résumé : Les opéras italiens connaissent une très large diffusion en France au XIXe siècle, qu’ils soient représentés en version originale au Théâtre-Italien de Paris ou sous la forme de traductions sur les autres scènes parisiennes et de province. Cette diffusion est encouragée sous l’Empire par le goût prononcé de Napoléon pour la musique italienne et se poursuit sous la Restauration avec le succès des opéras de Rossini. Loin de se limiter à l’art lyrique, l’influence de la musique italienne en France se manifeste au sein d’institutions telles que le Conservatoire de Paris, le Théâtre-Italien, l’Opéra de Paris et son École de danse, l’Académie des Beaux-Arts et l’Ordre national de la Légion d’honneur. Qu’ils soient compositeurs, directeurs de théâtre, décorateurs, chanteurs, instrumentistes, chefs d’orchestre, danseurs, journalistes, éditeurs ou facteurs d’instruments, les centaines d’acteurs italiens de la vie musicale en France exercent leurs professions dans toutes les branches du secteur. Riassunto : Le opere italiane conoscono una larghissima diffusione in Francia nell’Ottocento, che vengano rappresentate in versione originale nel Teatro italiano di Parigi o sotto forma di traduzioni sulle altre scene parigine e di provincia. Questa diffusione viene incoraggiata durante il Primo Impero francese dalla spiccata preferenza di Napoleone per la musica italiana, e prosegue all’epoca della restaurazione con il successo delle opere di Rossini. L’influenza della musica italiana in Francia non si limita all’arte lirica, ma si manifesta nell’ambito di istituzioni come il Conservatorio di Parigi, il Teatro italiano, l’Opera di Parigi e la sua Scuola di ballo, l’Accademia delle belle arti e l’Ordine nazionale della Legione d’onore.

  • I Vespri Siciliani», Anche Se in Realtà Non Era Così8
    Frontespizio del libretto dell’opera Les Vêpres siciliennes pubblicato in occasione della prima rappresentazione assoluta (Parigi, 13 giugno 1855). Milano, Museo Teatrale alla Scala. 16 VERDI E LA RIVOLUZIONE: «LES VÊPRES SICILIENNES» di Michele Girardi* Incalzaru la briga contra li franchischi et livaru a rimuri e fforo a li armi li franchischi cum li palermitani et li homini a rimuri di petri e di armi gridandu «moranu li franchischi» et intraru in la chitati cum grandi rimuri et foru per li plazi et quanti franchischi trouavanu tutti li auchidianu infra quilli rimuri lu capitanu chi era tandu per lu Re Carlu.

Mora!» Par. VIII, 73-75 Nel 1852, dopo l’esperienza dell’adattamento dei Lombardi alla prima crociata in Jérusalem per le scene parigine (1847), Verdi trovò un accordo per scrivere ex novo un grand opéra da rappresentarsi nella Salle de la rue Le Peletier, il tempio della lirica francese. I contatti risalivano a un paio d’anni prima, e allora egli aveva scartato, tra le altre proposte, un soggetto “politico” come il Don Carlo di Schiller, che sarebbe divenuto la fonte del suo secondo grand opéra nel 1867. Nel contratto che gli mandò Nestor Roqueplan, direttore dell’Opéra, il 20 febbraio 1852, Verdi vide soddisfatta una condizione che aveva imposto: l’autore del libretto sarebbe stato Eugène Scribe, eventualmente aiutato da un collaboratore1. Questo vincolo gli avrebbe consentito di misurarsi con Giacomo Meyerbeer sul suo stesso terre- no, visto che Scribe era l’anima drammatica del principe del grand opéra fin dai tempi di Robert le Diable (1831).

  • Le Tour De France Du Chevalier Lohengrin
    Michal Piotr Mrozowicki Université de Gdansk Pologne Membre d’honneur du CRW-Lyon Du ressentiment à l’enthousiasme – Le Tour de France du Chevalier Lohengrin Cette fatale représentation de Tannhäuser à Paris en 1861, ne peut être considérée comme un commencement ; elle a été une plante sans racines, importée par l’ordre de l’empereur Napoléon, détruite par le Jockey-Club. L’art de Wagner n’admet point de ces procédés arbitraires ; il est une nécessité de l’esprit moderne : il ne peut donc prospérer que là où cette nécessité est sentie. Dans la France de 1861, on ne pouvait encore y penser : Tannhäuser y fit ce pèlerinage de Rome parce qu’on l’y envoya, mais il dut s’en retourner sans rien avoir obtenu, parce que le bâton ne se couvrit pas encore de feuilles. Aujourd’hui, après vingt-cinq années, le miracle s’est accompli, l’apparition du printemps après l’hiver ; le moment est arrivé pour l’esprit artistique français, où nécessairement le printemps doit venir. Baron Hans von Wolzogen (La Revue Wagnérienne , no 3, le 8 avril 1886, p. 70) Le 17 septembre 1891, le journaliste du Gaulois signant par le nom de plume d’« Intérim » se permit de commencer le compte rendu de la première représentation de Lohengrin au Palais Garnier par une remarque un peu malicieuse : Dans cinquante ans, les érudits qui voudront documenter un croquis de la vie parisienne, en l’an de grâce 1891, iront déterrer dans la poudre des bibliothèques les journaux de l’époque. Lorsqu’ils liront les comptes-rendus dramatiques des feuilles qui paraissent ce matin, lorsqu’ils y trouveront que Lohengrin a été représenté sur notre première scène lyrique, le mercredi 16 septembre 1891, ils croiront avoir été trompés et avoir reçu du garçon du bureau la collection des journaux de Carpentras.

  • LINEAGES of VOCAL PEDAGOGY in AUSTRALIA, 1850-1950 Volume 2
    LINEAGES OF VOCAL PEDAGOGY IN AUSTRALIA, 1850-1950 Volume 2 by Beth Mary Williams A dissertation submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. The University of Melbourne September 2002 11 Lineages of Vocal Pedagogy in Australia The following is an introductory lineage study of major lineages of vocal pedagogy in Australia. Many lineages not contained in the body of the thesis are outlined in this document. The lineage also provides a cursory glance at the major lineages of traditional Italian pedagogy which have relevance for an Australian vocal pedagogical context, and it was hoped that this might assist readers in ascertaining the long term lineage links without excessive complication. The symbol'-' indicates that the following is separated from what is immediately above, and that a new lineage has begun. Lineages are indicated as subsequent generations by the use of one tab space, to show that the following names are pupils of the aforementioned. Naturally, lists of students of particular teachers are far from complete, and some only represent one particularly successful pupil of a given teacher. Where possible dates and biographical information are given, in order to contextualise the work of a singer or teacher. The documentation of lineages is not exhaustive. Many teachers who were active between 1850 and 2000 are omitted owing to the difficulties in finding information on private studios through archival resources and the reluctance of many present teachers to participate in surveys. The following is a sample three-generation entry, with an explanation of how the lineage may be understood: ~ (Separates different schools of singers.) Joe Bloggs (The teacher/s of the following bold name.) Joe Green (The teacher/singer under consideration.) Tenor, born in 1889, Green performed extensively with the Eastside Liedertafel.
