  • Theatricality and Historiography in Shakespeare's Richard
    H ISTRIONIC H ISTORY: Theatricality and Historiography in Shakespeare’s Richard III By David Hasberg Zirak-Schmidt This article focuses on Shakespeare’s history drama Richard III, and investigates the ambiguous intersections between early modern historiography and aesthetics expressed in the play’s use of theatrical and metatheatrical language. I examine how Shakespeare sought to address and question contemporary, ideologically charged representations of history with an analysis of the characters of Richard and Richmond, and the overarching theme of theatrical performance. By employing this strategy, it was possible for Shakespeare to represent the controversial character of Richard undogmatically while intervening in and questioning contemporary discussions of historical verisimilitude. Historians have long acknowledged the importance of the early modern history play in the development of popular historical consciousness.1 This is particularly true of England, where the history play achieved great commercial and artistic success throughout the 1590s. The Shakespearean history play has attracted by far the most attention from cultural and literary historians, and is often seen as the archetype of the genre. The tragedie of kinge RICHARD the THIRD with the death of the Duke of CLARENCE, or simply Richard III, is probably one of the most frequently performed of Shakespeare’s history plays. The play dramatizes the usurpation and short- lived reign of the infamous, hunchbacked Richard III – the last of the Plantagenet kings, who had ruled England since 1154 – his ultimate downfall, and the rise of Richmond, the future king Henry VII and founder of the Tudor dynasty. To the Elizabethan public, there was no monarch in recent history with such a dark reputation as Richard III: usurpation, tyranny, fratricide, and even incest were among his many alleged crimes, and a legacy of cunning dissimulation and cynical Machiavellianism had clung to him since his early biographers’ descriptions of him.

Polixenes has not been home to his wife and young son for more than nine months but Leontes’ wife, Hermione, who is heavily pregnant, finally convinces her husband's friend to stay a bit longer. As they talk apart, Leontes thinks that he observes Hermione’s behaviour becoming too intimate with his friend, for as soon as they leave his sight he is imagining them "leaning cheek to cheek, meeting noses, kissing with inside lip." He orders one of his courtiers, Camillo, to stand as cupbearer to Polixenes and poison him as soon as he can. Camillo cannot believe that Hermione is unfaithful and informs Polixenes of the plot. He escapes with Polixenes to Bohemia. Leontes, discovering that they have fled, now believes that Camillo knew of the imagined affair and was plotting against him with Polixenes. He accuses Hermione of adultery, takes Mamillius, their son, from her and throws her in jail. He sends Cleomines and Dion to Apollo’s Oracle at Delphi, for an answer to his charges. While Hermione is in jail her daughter is born, and Paulina, her friend, takes the baby girl to Leontes in the hope that the sight of his infant daughter will soften his heart.

  • Henry V Play Guide
    Henry V photo: Charles Gorrill by William Shakespeare Theatre Pro Rata November 5-20, 2016 Performing at The Crane Theater 2303 Kennedy St NE, Minneapolis The play Henry V is part of a series of eight plays that covers a critical time in English history: from the reign of Richard II to the death of Richard III and the ascension to the throne of Henry Tudor (Henry VII), the grandfather of Queen Elizabeth. The first four play sequence, Henry VI, parts 1, 2, and 3, and Richard III (1589- 94) were great hits when first produced, and were certainly part of the impetus for the second four play sequence chronicling the “back story” of the first (Richard II, Henry IV, parts 1 and 2, and Henry V). The first source to mention Shakespeare, Greene’s Groats-worth of Wit, was published in 1592, and parodies a line from Henry VI, part 3. Shakespeare based his work on history written by Raphael Holinshed (who drew on earlier work by Edward Hall); but these histories were those of the victors, so not all the information was accurate. Later historians have corrected information from Hall and Holinshed that was often as much mythology as history. Critical facts about Henry V that are reflected in the play: Born: summer 1386; died 31 August 1422 Ascended to the throne: 20 March 1413 Victory at Agincourt: 25 October 1415 He was the first king of England to grow up speaking and writing fluently in English; previous kings spoke either French or Saxon. The play was originally written/produced in 1599, and played at the court of King James 1 on January 7, 1605.

  • Piotr Ilich Chaikovski - Música
    Piotr Ilich Chaikovski - Música. 1 INTRODUCCIÓN Piotr Ilich Chaikovski En la obra de Piotr Ilich Chaikovski coexisten influencias rusas y centroeuropeas. Fue el primer compositor ruso que figuró en los programas de conciertos del resto de Europa. Hulton Deutsch - Música. Piotr Ilich Chaikovski (1840-1893), compositor ruso, uno de los músicos más destacados del siglo XIX. Nació el 7 de mayo de 1840 en Votkinsk, en la zona de los Urales, estudió derecho en San Petersburgo y recibió clases de música en el conservatorio de esta ciudad. Entre sus profesores se encontraban el compositor y pianista ruso Anton Grigórievich Rubinstein (1828-1894) del que Chaikovski recibió clases de orquestación. En 1866 fue nombrado profesor de armonía en el Conservatorio de Moscú por el pianista y compositor Nicholas Rubinstein, hermano de Anton. Allí el joven compositor conoció al dramaturgo Alexandr Nikoláievich Ostrovski, quien le escribió el libreto de su primera ópera, El voivoda (1868). De esta época también datan sus óperas Undina (1869) y Oprichnik (1872), el Concierto para piano nº 1 en si bemol menor (1875), las sinfonías nº1 (Sueños de invierno, 1868), nº 2 (1873, más tarde revisada y titulada Pequeña Rusia) y nº 3 (Polaca, 1875) y la obertura-fantasía Romeo y Julieta (1870; revisada en 1870 y 1880). En un principio el primer concierto para piano fue dedicado a Nicholas Rubinstein, pero éste lo calificó como 'imposible de tocar'. Fuertemente dolido, Chaikovski hizo múltiples cambios en la obra y esta vez se lo dedicó a Hans von Bülow, que contestó el favor tocando el concierto en su primera gira por Estados Unidos (1875-1876).

  • Winter's Tale by William Shakespeare
    Périclès, Prince de Tyr de William Shakespeare Mise en scène – Declan Donnellan Scénographie – Nick Ormerod Suite à Ubu Roi en 2013/14/15, Declan Donnellan et Nick Ormerod reviendront à la langue française avec une création de PÉRICLÈS de Shakespeare en 2018 et 2019. Avec PÉRICLÈS, la compagnie signera sa première création de Shakespeare en langue française, pièce qui complétera son cycle des quatre 'romances tardives' de Shakespeare, après Cymbeline (2007), La tempête (2011) et Le conte d'hiver (2015). Nous sommes à la recherche de co-producteurs et de partenaires pour réaliser cette nouvelle création. Ubu Roi a été présenté pendant 34 semaines sur trois continents, et dans des villes comme Paris, Londres, New York, Moscou, Madrid et Venise. A propos d'Ubu Roi : « Donnellan obtient des interprétations sans retenue de sa troupe … le déchainement d’un champ de bataille au sein d'un univers chic et raffiné. » – The Guardian (Royaume-Uni) « Outrancière, débordente d'une énergie sans retenue » – Le Figaro (France) PÉRICLÈS, prince de Tyr PÉRICLÈS est l’une des plus étonnantes et bouleversantes des œuvres de Shakespeare. Naufragé au large de la mer méditerranée, Périclès est contraint de braver une marée de pirates, de ravisseurs et de magiciens ; de bordels, de tournois et de complots … et jusqu’à une intervention divine de la déesse Diane. Inceste, trahison, meurtre, amour et joie s’entremêlent dans ce feu d'artifice théâtral, puis, à la lumière tamisée de ses braises, Périclès retrouve sa fille Marina dans l’une des plus belles scènes que Shakespeare ait jamais écrites.
