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.

Cherub was an alternative British theatre company whose work in the 1980s defied most of the categories which inscribed theatre practice in Britain. Because they did not fit canonical definitions, Cherub was said to be producing “bad” theatre.

The two histories at first glance seem to have nothing to do with one another; upon closer analysis, however, one discovers a fascinating association between the two— in fact, there are even instances of the two influencing each other.

  • Intertextuality, Intermediality and Mediality in Benjamin Britten's
    Intertextuality, Intermediality and Mediality in Benjamin Britten’s Nocturne, Op. 60 Von der Falkutät für Geistes- und Erziehungswissenschaften der Technischen Universität Carolo-Wilhelmina zu Braunschweig zur Erlangung des Grades Doktor der Philosophie (Dr. phil.) genehmigte Dissertation von Kenton Emery Barnes aus Toledo, Ohio, USA Eingereicht am 11.06.2012 Mündliche Prüfung am 28.08.2012 Referent: Prof. Dr. Rüdiger Heinze Korreferent: Prof. Dr. Hero Janßen Druckjahr 2017 Intertextualität, Intermedialität und Medialität in Benjamin Brittens Nocturne, Op. 60 Benjamin Britten ist nicht nur einer der am meisten verehrten Komponisten Großbritanniens, sondern zugleich auch einer der Komponisten, über die äußerst kontrovers diskutiert wird. Kritiker bewerten seine Musik auf sehr unterschiedliche Art und Weise. Einige halten seine Musik für zu altmodisch und zu sehr den Traditionen der Tonalität verbunden, andere bewerten sie als zu modern und schwer zugänglich, an Atonalität grenzend. Aber wie soll man Brittens Musik betrachten? Setzt sie die Traditionen der romantischen Komponisten des 19. Jahrhunderts fort? Ja, dies ist der Fall, jedoch bringt Britten diese Konventionen an ihre Grenzen. Ist Brittens Musik atonal? Obwohl manche Kritiker der Ansicht sind, dass seine Kompositionen abstrakt sind, bleibt er den etablierten Konventionen der Musik doch treu. Nicht zu bestreiten ist, dass Brittens gesangliche Kompositionen in ihrer Poesie nur schwer zu übertreffen sind. Er vertonte Gedichte von bedeutenden Dichtern wie Arthur Rimbaud, Victor Hugo, Paul Verlaine, Henry Longfellow, William Shakespare, Edith Sitwell, Emily Brontë und William Blake. Alles in allem vertonte Britten mehr als 300 Gedichte von nicht weniger als neunzig Dichtern.

  • NEWSLETTER of the American Handel Society
    NEWSLETTER of The American Handel Society Volume XVIII, Number 3 December 2003 HOUSTON GRAND OPERA’S GIULIO CESARE Giulio Cesare is one of Handel’s most justly celebrated operas. First performed in 1724, it was revived several times during the composer’s lifetime. Donald Burrows, in his Master Musicians biography of Handel selects the opera for detailed analysis, citing among its strengths, "a fast-moving plot, full of incident, and some of Handel’s best arias, as well as scenes that are spectacular from both musical and dramatic standpoints."1 During the twentieth century the opera was revived fairly regularly, though it often fell victim to the well-intentioned surgery of producers, directors and conductors. Music History teachers of a certain vintage can remember the Norton Anthology of Western Music recorded excerpt which featured the title role sung by Wagnerian bass Hans Hotter. It was also not so long ago when the choice of recorded versions was limited to a severely cut, Belliniesque ornamented American recording and an uncut every-da-capo-taken-but-unornamented German performance. Just two years ago, while preparing a performance of excerpts for an Opera Scenes class, I was frustrated in my attempts to find a score with the part of Caesar in treble clef, the choices being bass or alto clef. The recordings of Giulio Cesare have improved recently, but the work still awaits a critical edition and Handel’s beautiful yet lengthy score remains a challenging one for opera houses Keiichiro Watanabe March 2, 1932 - December 12, 2001 to realize on the stage.
