  • Carmen: a Preface to the Vocal Score by Richard Langham Smith
    Carmen: a preface to the vocal score by Richard Langham Smith URTEXT IN CONTEXT Why a new edition of Carmen, an opera that has surely suffered the fate of its eponymous heroine: it has been done to death? In short, the present edition takes a different slant from other Urtexts primarily because it aims to capture the idea of the opera as a staged spectacle as well as that of a musical text: hence its designation as a ‘Performance Urtext’. Notwithstanding this dual purpose, its approach to the musical text remains founded on the ‘Urtextual’ principles largely established by German editions of the mid- and late-twentieth century, not least by the Urtext publications of Peters Edition, in this case its London operation which has provided the fundamental impetus for producing this new edition. Yet at the root of these German Urtexts is the notion of somehow carrying forward the ‘pure blue flame’ of composer-intention as set down in a final manuscript, or a submitted and proof-read score. Against this notion, however, a fundamental question must be asked: is Opera really like that? In the mounting of an operatic performance, many more people are involved than in the performance of a symphony: the scene- painters; the costume designers; the lighting crew and above all the director, metteur-en- scène or in the case of French opera, the all-important role of the régisseur. There was also the complex infrastructure behind, as it was then (and now): those responsible for the finances; for drumming up press attendance and audiences; producing the programmes and in France particularly, ensuring that the catering is up to scratch and that the restaurants around the venue are ready to serve the pre-performance entrée, the main course in the first interval, and the dessert in the second.

  • Massenet's Cendrillon
    Massenet’s Cendrillon: Exploring the interactions of the orchestra and vocal line as found in the role of Cendrillon, and a dramatically rich role for the lyric mezzo soprano By Kristee Haney Submitted to the graduate degree program in the School of Music and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts. ________________________ Chairperson Dr. Roberta Schwartz ________________________ Joyce Castle _______________________ Mark Ferrell ________________________ Dr. John Stephens ________________________ Dr. Michelle Heffner - Hayes Date Defended: April 18th, 2014 ii The Dissertation Committee for Kristee Haney certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: Massenet’s Cendrillon: Exploring the interactions of the orchestra and vocal line as found in the role of Cendrillon, and a dramatically rich role for the lyric mezzo soprano ________________________________ Chairperson Dr. Roberta Schwartz Date approved: April 18th, 2014 iii Abstract Composer Jules-Émile- Frédéric Massenet wrote a variety of roles for mezzo sopranos, and his soaring vocal lines are coupled with sensitive communication of the text. In Cendrillon, Massenet writes leading roles for three mezzo soprano voices: Le Prince Charmant, Madame de la Haltière, Cendrillon (and one featured supporting role, the step- sister Dorothée). The three leading roles involve different vocal and dramatic demands, while still allowing the unique colors of the mezzo soprano voice to shine. I will explore Massenet’s writing for the mezzo soprano and the interaction of the vocal line with the orchestra, in his “fairy tale” opera, Cendrillon. I will analyze scenes that deal with the role of title character Cendrillon and the specific vocal qualities that Massenet highlights in each: Cendrillon’s arias in Act I and Act III; the scene with La Feé in Act I; the duet with the Prince Charmant in Act II; and the duet / trio with Prince Charmant and La Feé that ends Act III.
