  • Einem Gottfried
    EINEM VON GOTTFRIED Compositore austriaco (Berna 24 I 1918 - Waldviertel 12 VII 1966) Dapprima autodidatta, Gottfried von Einem studiò con Boris Blacher e sviluppò in seguito un equilibrato linguaggio musicale. Nel 1938 iniziò la sua carriera come istruttore di canto all'Opera di Berlino e come assistente al Festival di Bayreuth. Durante il nazionalsocialismo venne più volte arrestato. Dopo la guerra Einem rivestì varie funzioni sia al Festival di Salisburgo, sia alle Festwochen di Vienna. Dal 1963 al 1972 insegnò alla Musikhochschule di Vienna, dal 1964 fu membro della Akademie der Kunste di Berlino e dal 1965 al 1970 presidente dell'Akademie fur Musik austriaca. 1 DANTONS TOD Di Gottfried von Einem (1918-1996) libretto proprio e di Boris Blacher, dal dramma di Georg Büchner (La morte di Danton) Opera in due atti e sei quadri Prima: Salisburgo, Felsenreitschule, 6 agosto 1947 Personaggi: Georges Danton (Bar); Julie, sua moglie (Ms); Camille Desmoulins e Jean Hérault de Séchelles, deputati (T); Lucille, moglie di Camille (S); Maximilien Robespierre (T); Saint-Just (B); Simon, suggeritore (B); due becchini (T); una dama (S); una popolana (A); uomini e donne del popolo In Dantons Tod non si saluta solo un esordio teatrale particolarmente felice, tanto da decretare all’autore fama subitanea, ma anche l’inizio della consuetudine salisburghese (mai più abbandonata) di inserire ogni anno nel Festival un’opera contemporanea in ‘prima’ assoluta. Il soggetto di Büchner venne scelto sull’onda emotiva suscitata dal fallito attentato a Hitler nel 1944; ad approntare la versione ridotta fu Boris Blacher, maestro di Einem e futuro dedicatario dell’opera.

  • Avra Xepapadakou
    Avra Xepapadakou University of Crete Maria Antonietta: Pavlos Carrer’s last Italian opera and second European attempt1 In the summer of 1873, Pavlos Carrer agrees with his friend, poet Conte Giorgio D. Roma,2 to work together on the libretto of a new opera based on the “episode of the French Revolution concerning Marie Antoinette”.3 The choice of the subject raises questions, since it forms the only exception among the five Greek national operas that Pavlos Carrer composes from 1868 until the end of his life.4 The composer does not state, his sources, therefore we do not know whether he and Roma studied the history of the French Revolution and, consequently, drew the inspiration for their libretto from it or worked on a literary text. Further below, we will examine that both may be the case. The composer describes vividly the carefree, summer days when both of them, living in Zante, worked together for the creation of the opera’s libretto, while talking and laughing until midnight. Roma, as Carrer explains, was so enthusiastic with the new opera that his “pen was running too fast”. Many times the composer was obliged to make cuts at the “extremely and beyond any rule lengthy lyrics”, driving the librettist to express his strong opposition: 1 An earlier version of this paper was presented at the Conference The Ionian Opera and Musical Theatre until 1953, University of Athens-Dept. of Theatre Studies, Athens State Orchestra & Athens Concert Hall, 23-24 April 2010 and was published in its Proceedings, pages 134-144. 2 More about Carrer’s librettist in De Viasis, Spyridon.

At the center of this debate is the state of exception through which the sovereign legitimizes the juridical order by suspending preexisting civil laws. As recent theorists have argued, this has become the paradigm for modern nation states. Walter Benjamin contends, however, that a permanent state of exception has existed since the Baroque and has subjected its victims to an empty eschaton, an end without messianic redemption and devoid of all meaning. As long as the order of the sovereign is based on the dialectical relationship between law- making and law-preserving violence, this state will persevere and the messianic promise will not come to fruition. Thus Benjamin conceives of another category of violence he calls “pure violence,” which lies outside of the juridical order altogether. This type of violence also has the ability to reinstate history insofar as the inevitability of the state of exception has ceased any historical continuity.

  • Microfilms International 300 N
    INFORMATION TO USERS This reproduction was made from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technology has -been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image of the page can be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photographed, a definite method of “sectioning” the material has been followed. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.

  • Abstracts Der Vorträge
    Büchner-Rezeptionen – interkulturell und intermedial Milano, 23.-24. September 2013 ABSTRACTS DER VORTRÄGE Paola BOZZI (Milano) Vom Aufheben. Thomas Bernhard, Elfriede Jelinek und der Büchner-Preis Die im Jahre 1951 erfolgte Umwandlung des Büchner-Preises in einen von der Deutschen Akademie für Sprache und Dichtung verliehenen Literaturpreis, der seither als bedeutendste literarische Auszeichnung im gesamten deutschsprachigen Raum gilt, hat die immerwährende Gegenwärtigkeit des Vormärzdichters institutionalisiert. Mit der Reorganisation wurde eine Rede des Preisträgers bzw. der Preisträgerin fester Bestandteil der Preisverleihungsfeier. Im Rahmen einer solchen staatlich geförderten Vereinnahmung vollzog sich bald eine Wende zur »Ritualkritik als Ritualpraxis« (B. Dücker). Die Laureaten gingen vermehrt dazu über, sich den Ehrungen zwar nicht zu entziehen, dort aber in ihrer Dankesrede die eigene Unabhängigkeit zu demonstrieren und die Gesetze der Situation und des Rituals performativ wenn nicht zu unterlaufen, so doch wenigstens alternativ zu aktualisieren. Dass diese Gratwanderung nicht immer leicht zu meistern war, zeigt die Rede von Thomas Bernhard (1970) bzw. von Elfriede Jelinek (1998) – jeweils die kürzeste sowie die dichteste in der Geschichte der Prämierung. Das Dilemma, das hier zu Tage kommt, ist ein grundlegendes der epideiktischen Rede, die weder auf ein Urteil noch auf einen Beschluss, sondern gänzlich auf ein Vorzeigen hinausläuft. Es gilt daher zu untersuchen, welche Haltung Bernhard bzw. Jelinek in ihren Dankesreden in Darmstadt

  • The 2018 Guide Festivals
    April 2018 The 2018 Guide Festivals FEATURE ARTICLE 10 Questions, Two (Very Different) Festivals Editor’s Note Our fifth annual Guide to Summer Festivals is our biggest yet, with some 85 annotated entries, plus our usual free access to the 1400 listings in the Musical America database. The details for the 85—dates, locations, artistic directors, programming, guest artists, etc.—have been provided by the festivals themselves, in response to a questionnaire sent to our list of Editor’s Picks. Those are determined by a number of factors: it’s hardly a surprise to see the big-budget events, such as Salzburg, Tanglewood, and Aspen, included. But budget is by no means the sole criterion. The 2018 Guide Programming, performers, range and type of events offered—all of these factor into the equation. For our feature article, we chose two highly regarded events and asked them one set of questions, just for the purposes of compare and contrast. Since George Loomis traveled to Ravenna last summer and knows Ojai well, we decided he was the perfect candidate to get the answers. Our hunch that the two couldn’t be more different turned out to be quite accurate: one takes place over a weekend, the over a two-month period; one is in the U.S., the other in Europe; one is rural, the other urban; one’s in a valley, the other by the sea; one focuses on contemporary fare, the other on traditional; one houses its artists in homes, the other in hotels; one is overseen by a man, the other by Festivals a woman; Ojai’s venues are primarily outdoor and strictly 20th century, Ravenna’s are mostly indoor and date as far back as the sixth century.
