Entre les murs du théâtre, u g R les garçons jouaient les rôles de femmes — fait unique en Europe à n n langue et altérité a l’époque — alors que le langage était lui-même « autre », un i mélange instable d’idiomes naturels et les langues vernaculaires L issues des cultures dominantes d’Europe continentale, marquant la disparition progressive de la langue de l’« Église d’Antan », le latin, dans la culture de la renaissance de plus en plus souvent perçu comme la langue de l’Autre suprême, le Pape Antéchrist. Ce volume tente de montrer la diversité topologique de l’Altérité dans la culture de la Renaissance en s’intéressant à la fois à la langue « autre » (la calomnie, l’insulte, le jargon des colporteurs, la e Language and Otherness in Renaissance Culture traduction, la prophétie), comme aux figures de l’« Autre » (le c fantôme, le bâtard, le garçon acteur travesti, l’homme des bois…) n a s s i In Ancient Greece, the institution of the theatre marked the a é n installation, at the centre of society, of Dionysus, “the figure of the t i textes réunis par e Other” par excellence (Louis Gernet).

A large body of published research exists regarding the physiology of breathing, the acoustics of singing, and solutions for specific vocal faults. There is similarly a growing body of research into the system of voice classification and repertoire assignment. This paper shall reexamine this research in light of baritenor voices. After establishing the general parameters of healthy vocal technique through appoggio, the various tenor, baritone, and bass Fächer will be studied to establish norms of vocal criteria such as range, timbre, tessitura, and registration for each Fach. The study of these Fächer includes examinations of the historical singers for whom the repertoire was created and how those roles are cast by opera companies in modern times. The specific examination of baritenors follows the same format by examining current and

  • Auditions and Also Concerning the Hilariously Funny and Incredibly Tuneful Show We Will Present This Summer
    Audition Notes for The Gilbert & Sullivan Society of Austin’s June 2012 production of Patience by Artistic Director Ralph MacPhail, Jr. INTRODUCTION: Patience is a high-spirited send-up of artistic affectation. Originally it poked fun at the pre- Raphaelite “brotherhood” in London of the 1870s and ‘80s, but Gilbert’s wit transcends the original target and Sullivan’s tunes have remained ever funny, martial, sentimental, poignant—whatever the moment in the plot demands. My purpose here is to provide information for auditionees concerning the auditions and also concerning the hilariously funny and incredibly tuneful show we will present this summer. If you’re planning to audition, please read this in its entirety. INFORMATION ON AUDITIONS: Auditions will be held on Saturday and Sunday, March 3rd and 4th. Music Director and Conductor Jeffrey Jones-Ragona and I request that each auditionee memorize a song from Gilbert & Sullivan or something similar that will show their voice and range to best advantage. It is also mandatory to provide a copy of the music for the auditions accompanist. No a cappella auditions will be heard. An accompanist will be provided, but singers will be welcome to bring their own if they wish. If Patience is not in your library, you can download the libretto from The Gilbert & Sullivan Archive (math.boisestate.edu/gas). You can also download some printed music from the opera from this website, read a plot synopsis, or download audio files. And there’s more, too! THE ROLES: Patience is filled with fun-to-act roles, incredible singing opportunities, and requires actors who can sing well as well as singers who can act well.

  • Iv: the Allan Wilkie Shakespearean Company, 1920-1926
    IV: THE ALLAN WILKIE SHAKESPEAREAN COMPANY, 1920-1926 "Our True Intent is all for Your Delight." In September 1920, Allan Wilkie announced his plans to establish Australia's first permanent Shakespearean company, drawing a parallel to Frank Benson's Company in England. The inaugural production by the new Allan Wilkie Shakespearean Company was to be a "new arrangement" of Macbeth, and Wilkie gave it as his fixed intention to produce all thirty-seven of Shakespeare's plays, some of which had never previously been staged in Australia." Advance publicity emphasized the potentially historic nature of the occasion: When in future years this company will be counted one of the institutions of which Australia is proud, those who attend on the opening night will tell with satisfaction how they were present during the enthusiastic hours which saw the inception of the company [Argus, 9 September 1920]. Many cynics were quick to point out the unlikelihood of Wilkie's venture surviving for long, or even getting off the ground, in view of the history of Shakespeare production in Australia. His was by no means the first proposal to establish a permanent company, but lack of demand had ended all previous efforts. In order to arouse audience curiosity, Wilkie advertised, as mentioned above, a "new arrangement" of Macbeth. His presentation was to have two novel aspects, which were to form the basis of his production methods in the years to come. They were interdependent: first, a new method of scenic arrangement, and second, a new organisation of the play, made possible by simplified scenery.

SYNOPSIS This thesis consists of an Introduction, followed by Part I (chapters 1-2) in which nineteenth- century criticism of the play is discussed, particular attention being paid to Helen Faucit's essay on Imogen, and its relationship to her playing of the role. In Part II the stags-history of Oymbcline in London is traced from 1785 to Irving's Lyceum production of 1896. Directions from promptbooks used by G-.P. Cooke, W.C. Macready, Helen Eaucit, and Samuel ±helps are transcribed and discussed, and in the last chapter the influence of Bernard Shaw on Ellen Terry's Imogen is considered in the light of their correspondence and the actress's rehearsal copies of the play. There are three appendices: a list of performances; transcriptions of two newspaper reviews (from 1843 and 1864) and one private diary (Gordon Crosse's notes on the Lyceum Gymbeline); and discussion of one of the promptbooks prepared for Charles Kean's projected production.
