The Visual Aspects of Le Mage
The visual aspects of Le Mage Michela Niccolai The first part of Massenet’s career was marked by the composition of several grand operas: Le Roi de Lahore (1877), Hérodiade (1881), Le Cid (1885) and Le Mage (1891). The latter , produced at the Paris Opéra, directed at that time by Ritt and Gailhard, was lavishly staged and the number of costumes was extraordinary. Even so, it remained on the bill, between spring and autumn 1891, for just thirty-one performances, from the première on 16 March. The new work was not received with great enthusiasm in the press. Henry Moreno (pen name of the publisher Henri Heugel) reported in the columns of Le Ménestre l: Pointless cliché: that is what characterises Le Mage . [...] Monsieur Massenet is obviously in a difficult period, in which he is no longer able to see clear - ly the path he had been following so successfully since the beginning. Like his hero Zarastra, he is badly in need of a spell of contemplation. He would do well to withdraw to the holy mountain to consider the dangers of over- hasty production, and then return to us stronger, fortified, ready to take on new challenges. (Henri Moreno, ‘Semaine Théâtrale, Le Mage ’, Le Ménestrel , 22 March 1891, no 12, p. 92.) Even among those close to Massenet, some appear to have been disap - pointed in their expectations of Le Mage . His friend and pupil Gustave Charpentier wrote to his father from Paris on 18 March 1891: 69 jules massenet: le mage The day before yesterday I attended the première of Le Mage (by Massenet). -

Barcelona, 1938: Una Ciutat Ocupada Musicalment Ponència Llegida Al Congrés Barcelona, 1938
Recerca Musicològica XVII-XVIII, 2007-2008 323-344 Barcelona, 1938: una ciutat ocupada musicalment Ponència llegida al Congrés Barcelona, 1938. Capital de tres governs. Política i cultura, organitzat per la Fundació Pi i Sunyer Cèsar Calmell Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona [email protected] Resumen. Barcelona 1938: una ciudad ocupada musicalmente El autor de este artículo explica detalladamente la insólita visión de una Barcelona desen- cantada y con sentimiento de pérdida, abocada al final de la guerra civil y, curiosamente, arrastrada a una extrema inflorescencia cultural en el campo de la música, llevada a cabo por las autoridades de la Repúbica en la primavera de 1938; se trata de «/…/ un relato cons- truído /…/ a espaldas de la cruda realidad vivida en el frente», con el fin de reconducir el público hacia la normalidad y de mantener un espacio cultural. La renovada brillantez del repertorio operístico (sólo el ruso, el francés y el español, sin el alemán ni el italiano), como la creación, el 8 de abril de 1938, de la Orquesta Nacional de Conciertos, constituyen los elementos clave para llevar a cabo el proyecto, en el cual se desleía, asimismo, la secular y abier- ta personalidad de la cultura musical catalana. Palabras clave: guerra civil española, cultura musical, dialéctica política del arte. Résumé. Barcelone, 1938: une ville occupée par la musique L’auteur de cet article explique de façon détaillée l’insolite vision d’une Barcelone désen- chantée, vouée à un sentiment de perte à la fin de la guerre civile et curieusement entraînée vers une extrême inflorescence culturelle dans le domaine de la musique, menée par les autorités de la République au printemps de 1938; il s’agit de «/…/ un récit construit /…/ dans le dos d’une crue réalité vécue sur le front», dans le but de reconduire le public vers la normalité et de maintenir un espace culturel. -

This work is protected against unauthorized copying under Title 17, United States Code. ProQuest LLC 789 East Eisenhower Parkway P.O. Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 Abstract The musical life of interwar France (1919-39) has fascinated many writers; however, the part played by women musicians has been much neglected. This thesis seeks to rectify this situation by presenting a study of the activities and reception of the musiciennes of interwar France. The thesis is divided into three parts: part one provides a contextual framework within which to situate the pursuits of women musicians by considering both their contemporary social position and the gender- specific conditions which affect the lives, careers, and reception of musiciennes. Part two focuses on conductors and composers. Jane Evrard and her Orchestre feminin de Paris are discussed within the context of the contemporaneous development of the all woman orchestra and rise of the first professional female conductors.
