Introduction Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-45547-3 - Haydn’s Jews: Representation and Reception on the Operatic Stage Caryl Clark Excerpt More information Introduction Art is always a good hiding place, not for dynamite, but for intellectual explosives and social time bombs … And precisely in their despised and often despicable beauty and lack of transparency lies the best hiding place for the barb that brings about the sudden jerk or the sudden recognition. Heinrich Böll1 The early operas of Joseph Haydn are surprisingly good places to look for intellectual explosives and social time bombs. The great composer’s tradi- tional image reflects little of the cultural context within which he learned his art. Haydn was, however, familiar with the lexicon of dramatic tropes associated with ethnic representation on the stage in the mid-eighteenth century, and incorporated stereotypes in his theatrical works. Especially prominent were Jewish stereotypes in operas composed near the start of his career. Subsequently, the portrayal of Jews on stage changed mark- edly, and Haydn’s work reflected this trend. Before the Enlightenment, when Jews were treated as a people apart, physical infirmities and other markers of ‘difference’ were frequently caricatured on the comedic stage. But when society began to debate the ‘Jewish Question’ – understood in the later eighteenth century as how best to integrate Jews into society as productive citizens – theatrical representations became more sympa- thetic. How Haydn negotiated this fault line in his works for the stage is the focal point of this book, while its general aim is to explore how Haydn’s music engaged in the act of representing and, in turn, how the revival of that music would reflect important social and political struggles in later days. By altering the conceptual frameworks through which we study Haydn’s music, by exploring the socio-cultural contexts in which 1 Heinrich Böll, winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1972; full text of lecture delivered 2 May 1973. http://nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/literature/laureates/1972/boll-lecture.html (con- sulted August 2008). 1 © in this web service Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-45547-3 - Haydn’s Jews: Representation and Reception on the Operatic Stage Caryl Clark Excerpt More information 2 Introduction heworked,andbyemployingnewtoolsofinterpretation,myobjectiveis to open up new avenues for research.

Dissertation may not be reproduced in whole or in part, by photocopying or other means, without the permission of the author. 11 Supervisor; Dean Gordana Lazarevich ABSTRACT Haydn's thirteen extant Esterhdzy operas, composed from 1762-85, represent a microcosm of the various trends in Italian opera during the eighteenth century'. His early operas illustrate his understanding and mastery of the opera seria, the intermezzo and the opera buffa traditions which he would utilize in his later draimi giocosi. In addition to his role as Kapellmeister Haydn adcpted and conducted over eighty-one operas by the leading Italian composers of his day, resulting in over 1,026 operatic performances for the period between 1780-90 alone and furthering his knowledge of the latest styles in Italian opera. This dissertation examines the five draimi giocosi which Haydn wrote, beginning with Le pescatrici {1769) through to La fedelta preiniata (1780), within the context of the draima giocoso tradition.

First and foremost, I have to express my gratitude to my dissertation advisor, Michael McGrade. He patiently worked with me as I gradually narrowed my topic from “something to do with the influence of Italian comic opera on Classical style” to “something to do with Haydn’s operas” to the finished product.
