James Robinson Planché Papers, The Huntington Library, San Marino, California. Provenance The collection was acquired from three separate sources: • The bulk of the collection was most likely purchased by George D. Smith in the Major William H. Lambert sales of Jan.-Feb. 1914; Smith subsequently sold it to Henry E. Huntington, though the exact date of this sale is not available in Huntington acquisition records. (Donald C. Dickinson, Henry E. Huntington’s Library of Libraries , p. 69-70). • A second group of Planché-related material, the letters addressed to T.F. Dillon Croker, was acquired from Ifan Kyrle Fletcher, Feb. 18, 1950. • A third group of Planché-related material, manuscripts, printed articles, clippings and play texts, was acquired from Winifred A. Myers in March 1972. All of this material has now been cataloged as one collection, with the Fletcher and Myers provenance noted on the front of the folders. Cataloging Decisions 1. The original group of Planché Papers was cataloged, with “JP” call numbers assigned, sometime before 1945. It was decided, that in order to best incorporate all three Planché acquisitions into one collection, it was necessary to re-catalog all of the material and assign new “JP” call numbers. Therefore, if this collection was consulted before 2012, it might be necessary to do a search of the Container List in order to verify the correct call number. 2. The original acquisition in 1914 was a folio bound volume with over 300 pieces pasted down on the pages of the volume. The items were removed from the volume for cataloging but many still retain evidence of this original placement, such as old glue, loss of text, and other damage (since repaired by the Huntington Conservation Department). 3. There appears to be two distinct groups of material in this collection; the majority of the collection is material directly related to Planché, either written to him or by him, or is about him. The other group of material appears to have been collected for the autograph value only, and has no apparent connection to Planché; this material may have been collected by Planché or, more likely, by his daughter Katherine F. Whelan. All of the material has been cataloged as one collection regardless of this distinction. 4. In January 2018 thirty Planché letters were discovered in a box of uncataloged literary manuscripts. These letter are from the February 1950 acquisition from Ifan Kyrle Fletcher and were separated from the other Planché material at an unknown James Robinson Planché Papers: mssJP 1-361 2 Finding Aid date. It was decided to catalog this material together in Box 8 rather than try to interfile the letters with the material already cataloged. • Planché, James Robinson to Alfred Henry Forrester, 1852.

In the William Harrison Ainsworth letters (Call number: mssAI 236) Biographical Note James Robinson Planché (1796-1880), a dramatist, antiquary, and officer of arms, was born in Piccadilly, London, on February 27, 1796; the son of Huguenot refugees. He wrote or adapted over 170 plays over the course of his 60 year career; these included extravaganzas, farces, comedies, burlettas, melodramas, and operas. Planché was also the first to introduce historically accurate costume into 19th century British theatre, and subsequently, wrote several important works on costume; one of which is still in print. His antiquary research led to the appointment of Rogue Croix Pursuivant in 1854 and he was promoted to Somerset Herald in 1866. Planché married Elizabeth St. George (1796-1846), on April 26, 1821; she was also a published playwright. They had two daughters, Katherine Frances (b. 1823), who later married William Curteis, and Matilda Anne (b. 1826), who became a children’s author under her married name of Mackarness. Planché continued to write and pursue his antiquarian studies until the last year of his life; he died in Chelsea, on May 30, 1880. Scope and Content The papers consist of the following series: 1. Manuscripts, Correspondence & Documents (Boxes 1-6) are arranged alphabetically by author and title. The majority of the material consists of manuscripts, correspondence, documents, and drawings directly related to James Robinson Planché and his work in the theatre, antiquarian pursuits, and costume expertise. Among the authors and correspondents are: John Baldwin Buckstone, William E. Gladstone, Benjamin Robert Haydon, Leigh Hunt, Ellen Kean, Frances Maria Kelly, Charles Kemble, Albert Denison (Baron Londesborough), Rosina Bulwer Lytton (Baroness Lytton), William Charles Macready, Richard Brinsley Peake, Jane Porter, David Roberts, William Makepeace Thackeray, and Carl Maria von Weber. The other main part of the collection is the material, including fragments and clipped signatures, which were collected for the autograph value only, and have no relation to Planché or his work. Among the authors and correspondents are: Adelaide, Queen consort of William IV, William Blanchard, Richard Daly, Thomas Frognall Dibdin, George III, Edwin Henry Landseer, Robert Peel, William Pitt, Lucia E.B.Vestris, and Arthur Wellesley (Duke of Wellington). There is also a small group of letters written to Thomas Francis Dillon Croker, mainly regarding Planché and his work and family. 2. Ephemera (Box 7) is arranged alphabetically by author, title and format. The material includes printed play texts and proof sheets by Planché, newspaper clippings, a scrapbook mainly about Planché (possibly collected by T. F. Dillon Croker), and printed musical scores. 3. Manuscripts, Correspondence & Documents (Box 8) are arranged alphabetically by author. The majority of the letters are from Planché to Thomas Francis Dillon Croker, with one letter from Croker to Planché and one letter each from Planché to Thomas Hailes Lacy, Charles Roach Smith and John Thwaites.

  • Theatre and Music in Roman Macedonia
    TRIANTAFYllIA GIANNOU THEATRE AND MUSIC IN ROMAN MACEDONIA To Prof. G. M. Sifakis, with gratitude ABSTRACT: This article aims to examine theatrical and musical activ­ ity in the Macedonian region during the Roman era. Literary and epi­ graphic evidence, theatre buildings and dramatic monuments present only some facets of the diversity of cultural life in Roman Macedonia, which we endeavour to reconstitute. At the same time, through the extant scraps of information we attempt to trace the history of Greek theatre up to the end of the Imperial age, stressing the scenic and thymelic contests but also including the performances of musicians, mimes, pantomimes, and other “paratheatrical” artists. HE FIRST DECADES OF ROMAN SOVEREIGNTY over the Macedonian Tkingdom were a time of cultural and economic decline; gradually, how­ ever, some of the new administrative centres (e.g. Amphipolis and Thes­ salonike) would become active, Beroia would assume a more important role, and Roman colonies would be founded. This is the new political con­ text within which we shall be following both the continuation of pan­hel­ lenic and local theatrical and musical shows and the changes that emerged in the artistic and religious life of the Macedonians through the interven­ tions of the Roman administration and the impact of Roman culture gen­ erally. Our attention will focus on theatrical and musical events and on performances of “paratheatrical” artists: mimes, dancers, buffoons, con­ * This study was written within the framework of the “Ancient Theatre Electronic Docu­ mentation Project” (under the aegis of the Institute for Mediterranean Studies); the first part was published in Logeion 6 (2016); a version of it was published in Greek (2012).

Olympie de Spontini, entre tragédie lyrique et grand opéra Tout travail sur l’adaptation lyrique des œuvres littéraires a pour mérite d’attirer l’attention sur quelques titres oubliés de l’histoire de l’opéra, éclairés seulement par le nom illustre de l’écrivain qui en fournit la source. Le danger peut toutefois être double. On prêtera volontiers une trop grande attention à quelque œuvre mineure, rehaussée exagérément par une origine littéraire qu’elle ne mérite guère. On prêtera beaucoup, aussi, à tel écrivain censé avoir nourri, à son corps défendant et en tout anachronisme, tantôt le melodramma romantique, tantôt le grand opéra historique, simplement parce que ces genres lyriques ont puisé dans son œuvre.

  • Spontini's Olimpie: Between Tragédie Lyrique and Grand Opéra
    Spontini’s Olimpie : between tragédie lyrique and grand opéra Olivier Bara Any study of operatic adaptations of literary works has the merit of draw - ing attention to forgotten titles from the history of opera, illuminated only by the illustrious name of the writer who provided their source. The danger, however, may be twofold. It is easy to lavish excessive attention on some minor work given exaggerated importance by a literary origin of which it is scarcely worthy. Similarly, much credit may be accorded to such-and-such a writer who is supposed – however unwittingly and anachronistically – to have nurtured the Romantic melodramma or the historical grand opéra , simply because those operatic genres have drawn on his or her work. The risk is of creating a double aesthetic confusion, with the source work obscured by the adapted work, which in turn obscures its model. In the case of Olimpie , the tragédie lyrique of Gaspare Spontini, the first danger is averted easily enough: the composer of La Vestale deserves our interest in all his operatic output, even in a work that never enjoyed the expected success in France. There remains the second peril. Olimpie the tragédie lyrique , premiered in its multiple versions between 1819 and 1826, is based on a tragedy by Voltaire dating from 1762. Composed in a period of transition by a figure who had triumphed during the Empire period, it is inspired by a Voltaire play less well known (and less admired) than Zaïre , Sémiramis or Le Fanatisme . Hence Spontini’s work, on which its Voltairean origin sheds but little light, initially seems enigmatic in 59 gaspare spontini: olimpie aesthetic terms: while still faithful to the subjects and forms of the tragédie lyrique , it has the reputation of having blazed the trail for Romantic grand opéra , so that Voltaire might be seen, through a retrospective illusion, as a distant instigator of that genre.

    AMHERST COLLEGE ARCHIVES AND SPECIAL COLLECTIONS Plimpton Collection of Dramas 1675-1920 (bulk 1850-1900) Summary: A collection of 1429 plays, largely from nineteenth century American and Brisish popular theater. Quantity: 14 linear feet Listed by: Neha Wadia, AC 2013, Student Assistant Note: These plays are cataloged in the Amherst College online catalog. To find the complete listing in the catalog, do a basic keyword search for “Plimpton collection of dramas”. Individual plays can be searched by title and author. The call number for the collection is PN6111.P5 © 2013 Amherst College Archives and Special Collections Page 1 Plimpton Collection of Dramas INTRODUCTION THE PLIMPTON COLLECTION OF PLAYS by Curtis Canfield Originally published in the Amherst Graduates’ Quarterly, May 1932 Mr. George A. Plimpton, ’76, recently presented to the college a large collection of material relating to the English and American theatre of the nineteenth century. More than 1200 plays are represented in the collection in addition to numerous playbills, programs, libretti, histories, and after-pieces, as well as an autographed photograph of Edwin Booth as Richelieu. The collection seems to have been a part of the extensive theatrical library of Mr. Edward Boltwood of Pittsfield, whose father was born in Amherst in 1839 and moved to Pittsfield in 1870. Mr. Boltwood, although an active member of the Berkshire bar, made the theatre his avocation and found time to write a number of small pieces for the stage, one of which is included in the present collection. He was also instrumental in establishing the William Parke Stock Company in Pittsfield, and continued his connection with this company by writing reviews of its plays.

  • Xerox University Microfilms
    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or ' target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing PagB(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at die upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

A consideration of over 1500 opera reviews from close to thirty periodicals, however, paints a more complex picture. In addition to a fascination with the supernatural, composers were drawn to a variety of libretti, including Biblical and Classical topics, and considered the application of recitative and other conventions most historians have overlooked because of their un-German heritage. Despite the variety of approaches and conceptions of what a German opera might look like, writers from Vienna to Kassel shared a common aspiration to develop a true German opera. The new language of concert criticism found from specialized music journals like the Allgemeine musikalische Zeitung to the entertainment inserts of feuilletons like the Zeitung für die elegante Welt made the operatic endeavor of the early nineteenth century a national one rather than a regional one as it was in the eighteenth century. ii Copyright 2010, Kevin Robert Burke iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First, I would like to offer gratitude to all my colleagues, friends, and family who supported me with encouraging words, a listening ear, and moments of celebration at the end of each stage.

INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.
