Music Theatre Arnold Jacobshagen MUSIC THEATRE In German Music Council / German Music Information Centre, ed., Musical Life in Germany (Bonn, 2019), pp. 244–273 Published in print: December 2019 © German Music Information Centre http://www.miz.org/musical-life-in-germany.html https://themen.miz.org/musical-life-in-germany Kapitel | Scene from Richard Wagner’s Tannhäuser in a staging by Romeo Castellucci at the Bavarian State Opera (2016-17) MUSIC THEATRE 9 More than seven million people attended music theatre performances in Germany during the 2016-17 season. Half of the over 11,500 events presented were opera performances, followed by dance, musicals and operettas. Here Arnold Jacobs hagen writes about underlying conditions, staff mem- bers and developments in the repertoire. 244 245 Music Theatre | | Arnold Jacobshagen View fromom the stagge into the audiitotort ium of thee Baavarv ian Statea Opera, Muniu ch MUSIC THEATRE Music theatre with its various genres – opera, dance, musical and operetta – is clearly the favourite with Germany’s theatre audiences. The 2016-17 season saw a total of 7.2 million visits to such performances in Germany, of which some 3.8 involved opera, 1.6 million dance, 1.4 million musical productions and 400,000 ௘operetta. In the same season there were roughly 5.2 million visits to per- formances of spoken theatre.1 The infrastructure that sustains this tradition is cor- respondingly expansive. Germany has 83 fully professional, publicly funded opera houses or opera divisions in multifunctional theatres. These are augmented by many independent ensembles performing opera, dance and musicals, professional private theatres (especially for musicals) and national and international festivals offering a wide variety of productions. Their distribution among Germany’s types of music theatre constitutes what might be called the ‘music theatre market’. Op eras make up approximately half of all stage performances; musicals account for another 20 per cent, as do ballet and dance theatre combined, with operettas THE GERMAN THEATRE SYSTEM mak ing up roughly 8 per cent (see Fig. 4) Germany’s theatre system falls into two categories: publicly funded theatres Germany’s music theatre landscape, along with its orchestral landscape, has been and private theatres, with the former further sub-divided into state theatres, mu- proposed for inclusion in the UNESCO List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of nicipal theatres and regional theatres (Landestheater) (see Fig. 1).

  • Dove L'uomo È Fascina E La Donna È L'alare
    Dove l’uomo è fascina e la donna è l’alare: the Quiet Defiance of Puccini’s La Bohème Parkorn Wangpaiboonkit Oberlin College In stark contrast to the remainder of the standard operatic repertoire, instead of babies thrown into fires, sons in love with their mother-in-law, mystical rings of fire, head-cutting, suicide, self-sacrifice, or spontaneous expiration through excess of emotion, Puccini’s La Bohème presents us with an opera where a sick girl gets sicker and dies. “No one is evil; it is the opera of innocence… - as if there were no responsibility, as if nothing happened other than this great cold, freezing them all, which one of them, a woman, cannot withstand” (Clément 83). More simply put, Bohème ’s plot is “boy meets girl, girl dies” (Berger 109). While this lack of momentous action might make Bohème seem an unlikely candidate for an operatic innovation, I argue that the opera’s quiet insurrection against its genre and tradition becomes apparent when its heroine, Mimi, is closely examined. In constructing Mimi, Puccini has deviated from the expectations of genre, gender, and disease narrative typically found in nineteenth century Italian operas, creating an operatic heroine that escapes the typical dramatic formulations of her predecessors: “She does not do anything. She waters her flowers at the window, she embroiders silk and satin for other people, that is all” (Clément 84). By highlighting these subtle but radical uniqueness in the way Mimi as a heroine is treated by other characters in the opera and by us as an audience, I offer a new reading of Bohème that recognizes the work as an innovative text, “the first Italian opera in which the artificialities of the medium is so little felt” (Budden 180).

  • Schauspiel 19 20
    SCHAUSPIEL 19 20 VORWORT Liebes Publikum, vielen Dank für Ihr Vertrauen und die überwältigende positive Resonanz, die Sie unserem Angebot im letzten Jahr entgegengebracht haben. Sie haben be­ wiesen, dass Bonn eine Theaterstadt ist und sein Schauspielhaus unbedingt behalten will. Und wir sind glücklich, für Sie spielen zu dürfen und weiterhin mit Ihnen darüber zu diskutieren, wie wir uns ein gemeinsames, friedliches Zusammenleben in dieser Stadt vorstellen können und wollen. Denn Theater ist ein Möglichkeitsraum, wo „kostbare Momente der gemeinsamen Erfahrung“ produziert werden, „ein Fest des Augenblicks und der gegenwärtigen Anwesenheit“ (Ulrich Khuon, Bonn, März 2019). Auch in der kommenden Spielzeit bieten wir Ihnen ein breites Spektrum an Themen und unterschiedlichen künstlerischen Handschriften an. Natürlich wollen wir ebenso spielfreudig, fantasievoll, kritisch, aber auch humorvoll auf die Probleme unserer Zeit sehen wie im letzten Jahr und uns wieder von den Grundfragen der Aufklärung leiten lassen. Wenn wir uns in der letzten Spielzeit augenzwinkernd mit der Leibnizschen Aussage „Die Welt ist die beste aller denkbaren Möglichkeiten“ beschäftigt haben, also mit der sogenannten Conditio Humana, dann richten wir den Blick dieses Jahr mehr auf die zentra­ len Fragen der praktischen Vernunft. Ausgehend von der Beschäftigung mit den Handlungsmustern des Menschen und seiner Gesellschaftssysteme, gehen wir nun folgenden Fragen nach: Was ist gutes oder besseres Handeln? Wie sollte man handeln, wenn man zusammenleben will? In welchen Zwängen steckt das Individuum bei seinen Versuchen, frei und vorbehaltslos zu handeln? Scheinbar überkommene Begriffe wie Moral, Ehre, Verantwortung, Lüge, Miss­ gunst usw. untersuchen wir neu, versuchen sie anhand literarischer Beispiele vom 17. Jahrhundert bis in die Zukunft hinein zu deuten.

Textual and Musical Intermedialities in Italian Literature and Film A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Italian by Erika Marina Nadir 2017 © Copyright by Erika Marina Nadir 2017 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Prima La Musica o Prima La Parola? Textual and Musical Intermedialities in Italian Literature and Film by Erika Marina Nadir Doctor of Philosophy in Italian University of California, Los Angeles, 2017 Professor Luigi Ballerini, Chair This dissertation is a comparative study of Italian opera, literature, and film, and traces the textual and musical intermedialities among the art forms. Using the analytical prisms of Elio Vittorini’s linguaggio unitario del musicista and Giuseppe Verdi’s notion of verità, I examine the myriad ways that literature, film, and music interact and the effects on the respective arts. Chapter 1 focuses on literature that is written in such a way as to evoke music. I analyze three texts and their musical components: Vittorini’s Italian Resistance novel, Uomini e no; the postmodern novel Passavamo sulla terra leggeri by Sergio Atzeni—a soundscape of text that mimics contemporary opera structure; and Manzoni’s I promessi sposi, which was the inspiration for Giuseppe Verdi’s notion of verità in art.

EFFECTS OF THE MET: LIVE IN HD ON THE DEMOCRATIZATION OF OPERA IN AMERICA by Anna K. Wigtil A THESIS Presented to the Faculty of The Graduate College at the University of Nebraska In Partial Fulfillment of Requirements For the Degree of Master of Music Major: Music Under the Supervision of Professor Pamela Starr Lincoln, Nebraska December, 2020 EFFECTS OF THE MET: LIVE IN HD ON THE DEMOCRATIZATION OF OPERA IN AMERICA Anna K. Wigtil, M.M. University of Nebraska, 2020 Advisor: Pamela Starr The Met: Live in HD satellite broadcasts of live opera performances began in 2006 and have since become popular with audiences around the world. While this could be an excellent avenue to democratize opera and make it available to new audiences, the available data indicates that most Live in HD viewers are already opera enthusiasts and have previously attended live opera performances. This thesis examines the history of the Metropolitan Opera’s broadcasting efforts, the demographics of American opera audiences, trends in Live in HD’s repertoire, and strategies to increase Live in HD’s appeal to a broader, more diverse audience that can revitalize opera’s popularity in the United States.
