  • «Come La Tosca in Teatro»: Una Prima Donna Nel Mito E Nell'attualità
    ... «come la Tosca in teatro»: una prima donna nel mito e nell’attualità MICHELE GIRARDI La peculiarità della trama di Tosca di Puccini è quella di rappresentare una concatenazione vertiginosa di eventi intorno alla protagonista femminile che è divenuta, in quanto cantante, la prima donna per antonomasia del teatro liri- co. Non solo, ma prima donna al quadrato, perché tale pure nella finzione, oltre che carattere strabordante in ogni sua manifestazione. Giacosa e Illica mutuarono questa situazione direttamente dalla fonte, la pièce omonima di Victorien Sardou, e perciò da Sarah Bernhardt – che aveva ispirato questo ruolo allo scrittore –, anche e soprattutto in occasioni (come vedremo) dove un nodo inestricabile intreccierà la musica all’azione scenica nel capolavoro di Puccini. Stimolati dall’aura metateatrale che pervade il dramma, i due libretti- sti giunsero a inventare un dialogo in due tempi fra i due amanti sfortunati che era solo accennato nell’ipotesto («Joue bien ton rôle... Tombe sur le coup... et fais bien le mort» è la raccomandazione di Floria),1 mentre attendo- no il plotone d’esecuzione fino a quando fa il suo ingresso per ‘giustiziare’ il tenore. E, disattendendo più significativamente la fonte, misero in scena la fu- cilazione, fornendo al compositore un’occasione preziosa per scrivere una marcia al patibolo di grandioso effetto, che incrementa l’atroce delusione che la donna sta per patire. Floria avrebbe dovuto far tesoro della frase di Canio in Pagliacci, «il teatro e la vita non son la stessa cosa», visto che quando arri- va il momento dell’esecuzione cerca di preparare l’amante a cadere bene, «al naturale [...] come la Tosca in teatro» chiosa lui, perché lei, «con scenica scienza» ne saprebbe «la movenza».2 Di questo dialogo a bassa voce non si trova traccia nell’ipotesto: Giacosa e Illica l’inventarono di sana pianta con un colpo di genio.

IN SUMMARY OF TALLULAH 103 APPENDIX 114 BIBLIOGRAPHY. 129 CHAPTER I THE BEGINNING OF SUCCESS Tallulah Bankhead's family tree was filled with ancestors who had served their country; but none, with the exception of Tallulah, had served in the theatre. Both her grandfather and her mother's grandfather were wealthy Alabamians. The common belief was that Tallulah received much of her acting talent from her father, but accounts of her mother1s younger days show proof that both of her parents were vivacious and talented. A stranger once told Tallulah, "Your mother was the most beautiful thing that ever lived. Many people have said you get your acting talent from your father, but I disagree. I was at school with Ada Eugenia and I knew Will well. Did you know that she could faint on 1 cue?11 Tallulahfs mother possessed grace and beauty and was quite flamboyant. She loved beautiful clothes and enjoyed creating a ruckus in her own Southern world.* Indeed, Tallulah inherited her mother's joy in turning social taboos upside down.

  • Broadside Read- a Brief Chronology of Major Events in Trous Failure
    NEWSLETTER OF THE THEATRE LIBRARY ASSOCIATION Volume 17, Number 1/Volume 17, Number 2 SPECIAL DOUBLE ISSUE Summer/Fa111989 EXHIBITION SURVEYS MANHATTAN'S EARLY THEATRE HISTORY L An exhibition spotlighting three early New York theatres was on view in the Main I Gallery of The New York Public Library at Lincoln Center from February 13, 1990 through March 31, 1990. Focusing on the Park Theatre on Park Row, Niblo's Garden on Broadway and Prince Street, and Wal- lack's, later called the Star, on Broadway and 13th Street, the exhibition attempted to show, through the use of maps, photo- graphic blowups, programs and posters, the richness of the developing New York theatre scene as it moved northward from lower Manhattan. The Park Theatre has been called "the first important theatre in the United States." It opened on January 29, 1798, across from the Commons (the Commons is now City Hall Park-City Hall was built in 1811). The opening production, As You Like It, was presented with some of the fin- est scenery ever seen. The theatre itself, which could accommodate almost 2,000, was most favorably reviewed. It was one of the most substantial buildings erected in the city to that date- the size of the stage was a source of amazement to both cast and audience. In the early nineteenth century, to increase ticket sales, manager Stephen Price introduced the "star sys- tem" (the importation of famous English stars). This kept attendance high but to some extent discouraged the growth of in- digenous talent. In its later days the Park was home to a fine company, which, in addition to performing the classics, pre- sented the work of the emerging American playwrights.

  • A NEW ENDING for TOSCA Patricia Herzog
    Eugène Delacroix, Liberty Leading the People (1830) A NEW ENDING FOR TOSCA Quasi una fantasia Patricia Herzog Copyright @ 2015 by Patricia Herzog DO YOU KNOW TOSCA? Connaissez-vous la Tosca? In the play from which Puccini took his opera, Victorien Sardou’s La Tosca, Tosca’s lover, the painter Cavaradossi, puts this question to the revolutionary Angelotti who has just escaped from prison. Of course, Angelotti knows Tosca. Everyone knows Tosca. Floria Tosca is the most celebrated diva of her day. Sardou wrote La Tosca for Sarah Bernhardt, the most celebrated actress of her day. Bernhardt opened the play in Paris in 1887 and later took it on the road. Puccini saw her in Italy and was inspired to create his own Tosca, which premiered in Rome in 1900. Today we know the opera and not the play. But do we really know Tosca? The places around Rome and the revolutionary times depicted in Tosca are real. The event on which the Tosca story hinges is Napoleon’s victory at Marengo on June 14, 1800. Tosca sings at Teatro Argentina, Rome’s oldest and most distinguished theater. Cavaradossi paints in the Church of Sant’Andrea della Valle. Chief of Police and arch-villain Scarpia resides in the Farnese Palace. Angelotti escapes, and Tosca later jumps to her death, from the Castel Sant’Angelo. Only Tosca is fictional, although, we might say, she is real enough. There were celebrated divas like her-- independent and in control, artistically, financially, sexually. The first thing we learn about Tosca in the opera is how jealous she is.

  • Ronald Davis Oral History Collection on the Performing Arts
    Oral History Collection on the Performing Arts in America Southern Methodist University The Southern Methodist University Oral History Program was begun in 1972 and is part of the University’s DeGolyer Institute for American Studies. The goal is to gather primary source material for future writers and cultural historians on all branches of the performing arts- opera, ballet, the concert stage, theatre, films, radio, television, burlesque, vaudeville, popular music, jazz, the circus, and miscellaneous amateur and local productions. The Collection is particularly strong, however, in the areas of motion pictures and popular music and includes interviews with celebrated performers as well as a wide variety of behind-the-scenes personnel, several of whom are now deceased. Most interviews are biographical in nature although some are focused exclusively on a single topic of historical importance. The Program aims at balancing national developments with examples from local history. Interviews with members of the Dallas Little Theatre, therefore, serve to illustrate a nation-wide movement, while film exhibition across the country is exemplified by the Interstate Theater Circuit of Texas. The interviews have all been conducted by trained historians, who attempt to view artistic achievements against a broad social and cultural backdrop. Many of the persons interviewed, because of educational limitations or various extenuating circumstances, would never write down their experiences, and therefore valuable information on our nation’s cultural heritage would be lost if it were not for the S.M.U. Oral History Program. Interviewees are selected on the strength of (1) their contribution to the performing arts in America, (2) their unique position in a given art form, and (3) availability.
