Wagner and Adaptation – University of Toronto, 31 January – 2 February 2013 Wagner and Adaptation: An International Symposium FRIDAY MORNING, 1 FEBRUARY In Act I of Richard Wagner’s Tristan und Isolde, the title characters share a drink, and unwittingly alter the course of both their own FACULTY OF MUSIC, WALTER HALL destinies and those of their respective nations. The infamous love potion, secretly substituted for a death draught, turns out to be both deceptive and revelatory, bringing to the surface a long-hidden 9:15 a.m. Welcome connection between two members of rival cultures, and transforming Don McLean, Dean, Faculty of Music it into a consuming desire. Tristan and Isolde’s transformative potion is an analogue of the 9:20 a.m. Richard Leppert (University of Minnesota) continual and multifarious processes of adaptation of the works of “Operatic-Cinematic Dream Notes” Wagner, the transformative artist par excellence of the nineteenth century, around which our symposium revolves. Wagner’s own 1865 Chair: Michael Hutcheon adaptation of the medieval legend of Tristan and Iseut was itself arguably the catalyst for the modern phenomenon of adaptive operatic staging practices: in February 1903, Gustav Mahler and Alfred Roller 10:30 a.m. Coffee break produced a Tristan in Vienna that transformed the tradition-bound approach to the work with a new, simplified staging and novel, hosted by the Faculty of Music coloured-electrical lighting techniques. Now in 2013, 110 years after this adaptive landmark and 200 years after Wagner’s own birth, our symposium coincides with the Canadian Opera Company’s 11:00 a.m. Brian Kane (Yale University) presentation of Bill Viola and Peter Sellars’ acclaimed Tristan “Acousmatic Phantasmagoria and the Problem of Project, a multimedia art piece whose combination of larger-than-life Techné” video imagery with live performance is an extraordinary act of adaptation that has resonated internationally. 11:45 a.m. Sander Gilman (Emory University) Wagner and Adaptation brings together a stellar international lineup “1942: Opera Adaptations in Opera and Beyond” of participants across multiple disciplines, to interrogate from a myriad of perspectives the processes of performative adaptation, from the staged to the filmic and beyond, that have accrued to Wagner’s Chair: Sherry Lee oeuvre. This symposium marks both the Wagner bicentenary and the tenth year since Linda Hutcheon, together with Caryl Clark, launched the Opera Exchange, a series of interdisciplinary symposia that has 12:30 p.m. Lunch break sustained a decade-long connection between the University, the performing arts community, and the opera-loving public.

I will discuss recent developments in staging Wagner at Katherine Larson, English, U of T the Bayreuther Festspiele, including Katharina Wagner’s 2007 Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg, Hans Neuenfels’ 2010 Lohengrin, and Sebastian Baumgarten’s 2011 Tannhäuser. All of these productions 9:15 a.m. Clemens Risi (Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg) could be described as “Regietheater” (“director's theater”), a “Performing Wagner for the 21st Century” performance practice that retains the musical dramaturgy of the work while radically questioning, re-examining and re-contextualising the layers of meaning in an opera. These productions also mark new steps 10:00 a.m. Christopher Mokrzewski, piano (Toronto) in the staging practice of Wagner’s oeuvre, going beyond questions of Performance of Franz Liszt’s transcription of the the interpretation of a single work. How does a well-known opera Liebestod from Wagner’s Tristan und Isolde react under the conditions of a newly established situation as in a laboratory? 10:30 a.m. Coffee Break Clemens Risi is professor of performance hosted by the Faculty of Music and contemporary theatre in the Institute for Theatre and Media Studies at the Universität Erlangen.

    A 1940 self-portrait of Salomon (1917-1943), whose autobiographical work “Life? or Theatre?” is an early example of the graphic novel. Courtesy the Jewish Historical Museum © Charlotte Salomon Foundation n February, 1943, eight months before she was murdered in Auschwitz, the I German painter Charlotte Salomon killed her grandfather. Salomon’s grandparents, like many Jews, had !ed Germany in the mid-nineteen-thirties, with a stash of “morphine, opium, and Veronal” to use “when their money ran out.” But Salomon’s crime that morning was not a mercy killing to save the old man from the Nazis; this was entirely personal. It was Herr Doktor Lüdwig Grünwald, not “Herr Hitler,” who, Salomon wrote, “symbolized for me the people I had to resist.” And resist she did. She documented the event in real time, in a thirty-"ve-page letter, most of which has only recently come to light. “I knew where the poison was,” Salomon wrote. “It is acting as I write. Perhaps he is already dead now. Forgive me.” Salomon also describes how she drew a portrait of her grandfather as he expired in front of her, from the “Veronal omelette” she had cooked for him. The ink drawing of a distinguished, wizened man—his head slumped inside the collar of his bathrobe, his eyes closed, his mouth a thin slit nesting inside his voluminous beard—survives. Salomon’s letter is addressed, repeatedly, to her “beloved” Alfred Wolfsohn, for whom she created her work. He never received the missive. Nineteen pages of Salomon’s “confession,” as she called it, were concealed by her family for more than sixty years, the murder excised.

  • Seattle Opera Announces First Live Audio Recording: 2013 Ring Available for Pre-Order Now
    FOR RELEASE: June 26, 2014 Press Contact: Gabrielle Nomura, 206.676.5559, [email protected] Seattle Opera Announces First Live Audio Recording: 2013 Ring Available for Pre-Order Now Powerhouse Voices, Orchestra in High-definition Seattle—Seattle Opera and AVIE Records announced today that they will release a live recording of Seattle Opera’s 2013 Der Ring des Nibelungen, available as a physical, 14-CD box set, digital download, and for online streaming. For forty years, Seattle Opera has built its international reputation on highly acclaimed live performances of Wagner’s Ring cycle; now, for the first time, the company is offering the Ring in another format. Devotees from all 50 states and 22 countries flocked to Seattle last summer for the opportunity to hear Wagner’s most ambitious work performed by a cast carefully chosen by Seattle Opera General Director Speight Jenkins. According to Opera News, the 2013 Ring was “better than ever … Asher Fisch’s conducting gave unprecedented musical strength; and German heldentenor Stefan Vinke’s Siegfried was outstanding, the best Seattle has experienced.” Speight Jenkins explained the state-of-the-art technology that distinguishes this Ring recording: “Traditional microphones can compress or distort the huge voices required in Wagner operas. We were blessed in this project to use a remarkable, specially-calibrated custom microphone made available by Meyer Sound, one that captures dramatic voices as the theater audience hears them,” Jenkins said. “By every measure: voices, orchestra, drama, audience excitement, I truly feel that the 2013 production was the best Ring I produced in my 31 years with the company, so I’m thrilled that it will be preserved in this way.” Evans Mirageas, Artistic Director of Cincinnati Opera, produced the recording.
