  • The Grey Woman and Bluebeard's Bride
    Opticon1826 , Issue 7, Autumn 2009 THE GREY WOMAN AND BLUEBEARD’S BRIDE: Comparisons between Elizabeth Gaskell’s short story The Grey Woman and the tale of Bluebeard By Michael Hiltbrunner Introduction The short story The Grey Woman by Elizabeth Gaskell gives a description of female oppression set within a Gothic context. The story is reminiscent of the English fairy tale Mr Fox , and there are thematic similarities between The Grey Woman and the German fairy tales The Robber Bridegroom and Bluebeard . In spite of a direct connection with Bluebeard , Gaskell’s tale, with its focus on women’s rights and love without marriage, can be seen to anticipate contemporary receptions of the Bluebeard tale. A Story of Oppression and Friendship Elizabeth Gaskell wrote The Grey Woman for Charles Dickens’s journal All the Year Round . It was intended to become a full-length novel, but was published as a short story in three parts in January 1861. The story is told from the perspective of the protagonist, Anna Scherer, daughter of a German miller, who relates her marriage to the French nobleman Monsieur de la Tourelle, a ‘gay, young, elegant’ (Gaskell 2000, 339) man, who turns out to be a robber. She and her servant Amante escape from his castle, Les Rochers, and settle in Frankfurt. During their escape, they become bound in friendship and in the shared fear of the revenge of Anna’s husband. Amante is finally discovered and killed in Frankfurt by de la Tourelle’s people, and Anna marries her attending physician Dr Voss. She has a daughter by de la Tourelle and finally writes the letter through which the story is presented, to prevent her daughter from marrying a Frenchman, who could be a member of the de la Tourelle gang.

  • Richard Strauss's Ariadne Auf Naxos
    Richard Strauss’s Ariadne auf Naxos - A survey of the major recordings by Ralph Moore Ariadne auf Naxos is less frequently encountered on stage than Der Rosenkavalier or Salome, but it is something of favourite among those who fancy themselves connoisseurs, insofar as its plot revolves around a conceit typical of Hofmannsthal’s libretti, whereby two worlds clash: the merits of populist entertainment, personified by characters from the burlesque Commedia dell’arte tradition enacting Viennese operetta, are uneasily juxtaposed with the claims of high art to elevate and refine the observer as embodied in the opera seria to be performed by another company of singers, its plot derived from classical myth. The tale of Ariadne’s desertion by Theseus is performed in the second half of the evening and is in effect an opera within an opera. The fun starts when the major-domo conveys the instructions from “the richest man in Vienna” that in order to save time and avoid delaying the fireworks, both entertainments must be performed simultaneously. Both genres are parodied and a further contrast is made between Zerbinetta’s pragmatic attitude towards love and life and Ariadne’s morbid, death-oriented idealism – “Todgeweihtes Herz!”, Tristan und Isolde-style. Strauss’ scoring is interesting and innovative; the orchestra numbers only forty or so players: strings and brass are reduced to chamber-music scale and the orchestration heavily weighted towards woodwind and percussion, with the result that it is far less grand and Romantic in scale than is usual in Strauss and a peculiarly spare ad spiky mood frequently prevails.

  • Beauties Vs Beasts by Tatar.Pdf
    Page 1 of 6 Title: Beauties vs. Beasts in the Grimms' Nursery and Household Tales Author(s): Maria M. Tatar Publication Details: The Brothers Grimm and Folktale. Urbana: University of Illinois Press, 1988. Source: Short Story Criticism. Ed. Rachelle Mucha and Thomas J. Schoenberg. Vol. 88. Detroit: Gale, 2006. From Literature Resource Center. Document Type: Critical essay Full Text: COPYRIGHT 2006 Gale, COPYRIGHT 2007 Gale, Cengage Learning [(essay date 1988) In the following essay, Tatar examines the textual history of the Bluebeard folktale in Nursery and Household Tales, contrasting narrative elements of "Mary's Child" and "Fowler's Fowl."] Fairy-tale beauties may all be very much alike, but there are two quite different types of beasts in the Grimms' Nursery and Household Tales. First, there are the animal-grooms who make life unpleasant for many a female protagonist: these are the frogs, bears, hedgehogs, and other creatures that press themselves on attractive young girls. But these beasts invariably turn out to be handsome young princes in disguise and generally prove to be perfect gentlemen. The real fairy-tale beasts, even if they are beasts in only the figurative rather than the literal sense of the term, turn out to be murderers masquerading as civilized men: Bluebeard, the Robber Bridegroom (in the tale of that title), and the wizard in "Fowler's Fowl" ("Fitchers Vogel") are the most prominent examples in the Nursery and Household Tales. Bluebeard, the most infamous of this entire lot of beasts, entered the pages of the Grimms' collection, but only in its first edition. For the second, revised edition of 1819, the Grimms eliminated the tale, evidently because it was too close in both substance and verbal realization to its French source.

  • The 2017/18 Season: 70 Years of the Komische Oper Berlin – 70 Years Of
    Press release | 30/3/2017 | acr | Updated: July 2017 The 2017/18 Season: 70 Years of the Komische Oper Berlin – 70 Years of the Future of Opera 10 premieres for this major birthday, two of which are reencounters with titles of legendary Felsenstein productions, two are world premieres and four are operatic milestones of the 20 th century. 70 years ago, Walter Felsenstein founded the Komische Oper as a place where musical theatre makers were not content to rest on the laurels of opera’s rich traditions, but continually questioned it in terms of its relevance and sustainability. In our 2017/18 anniversary season, together with their team, our Intendant and Chefregisseur Barrie Kosky and the Managing Director Susanne Moser are putting this aim into practice once again by way of a diverse program – with special highlights to celebrate our 70 th birthday. From Baroque opera to operettas and musicals, the musical milestones of 20 th century operatic works, right through to new premieres of operas for children, with works by Georg Friedrich Handel through to Philip Glass, from Jacques Offenbach to Jerry Bock, from Claude Debussy to Dmitri Shostakovich, staged both by some of the most distinguished directors of our time as well as directorial newcomers. New Productions Our 70 th birthday will be celebrated not just with a huge birthday cake on 3 December, but also with two anniversary productions. Two works which enjoyed great success as legendary Felsenstein productions are returning in new productions. Barrie Kosky is staging Jerry Brock’s musical Fiddler on the Roof , with Max Hopp/Markus John and Dagmar Manzel in the lead roles, and the magician of the theatre, Stefan Herheim, will present Jacques Offenbach’s operetta Barbe- bleue in a new, German and French version.

  • SILVANA SINTOW Roberto Scandiuzzi Bass
    Silvana Sintow Classicalia International Promotions & Management Schleibingerstrasse 8 - 81669 München - Germany • Tel: + 49-89- 44 21 89 00 e-mail: [email protected] • www.classicalia-international.com • Fax: + 49-89- 44 21 89 03 Roberto Scandiuzzi Bass Roberto Scandiuzzi studied with Anna Maria Bicciato in his native Treviso and made his debut at La Scala in Milan in 1982 with „Le nozze di Figaro“ under the direction of Riccardo Muti. Shortly thereafter he achieved his first great international success as Fiesco in „Simon Boccanegra“ at the Royal Opera House Covent Garden conducted by Georg Solti. Today he is one of the most renowned singers of the operatic world and enthuses the audience with his vocal beauty, his round and noble timbre and his electrifying stage presence. He is often compared with famous basses such as Ezio Pinza and Cesare Siepi, by whom he was strongly influenced. Roberto Scandiuzzi frequently appears at the most prestigious opera houses worldwide: at the Metropolitan Opera, the Opéra-Bastille in Paris, Royal Opera House Covent Garden, State Operas of Vienna and Munich, the San Francisco Opera and Zürich Opera House as well as with the leading symphonic orchestras such as the Berlin and Vienna Philharmonic, Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, London Philharmonic Orchestra, the Orchestras of Chicago, San Francisco, Philadelphia, Boston and Los Angeles, the Orchestra Filarmonica della Scala, Maggio Musicale Fiorentino, the Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia, Orchestre National de Paris and Orchestre National de France, the Symphony Orchestra of Bavarian Radio and the Munich Philharmonic.
