I contribute to existing scholarship on Negro spirituals by tracing the performances of these songs by the original Fisk Jubilee singers in 1867 to the Hall Johnson Choir’s performances in the 1920s-1930s, with a specific focus on the portrayal of Negro folk culture.

    Volume 29 Number 1 topical Weill Spring 2011 A supplement to the Kurt Weill Newsletter news & news events Mark Your Calendars! “Is it opera or musical? Formal definitions seem academic when confronted by a show of such passion and power . a show that deserves to be seen” (The Guardian). Street Scene won the Evening Standard Award for best musical on the London stage in 2008. This fall the Opera Group/Young Vic production, directed by John Fulljames, will return to the Young Vic’s South Bank theater on 15 September 2011, where it will play 14 times through 1 October, except for a two-day interval (25–26 September) during which the company will travel to Vienna’s Theater an der Wien for two performances. Keith Lockhart will conduct the BBC Concert Orchestra in London 15–20 September and in Vienna; in the other performances, the Southbank Sinfonia will be conducted by Tim Murray. Immediately following the London run, the production will tour the U.K., making stops in Basingstoke (3–4 October), Edinburgh (6–8 October), Newport (10–12 October), and Hull (13–15 October). Weill’s first opera, Der Protagonist, premiered at the Dresden State Opera in 1926. Eighty-five years later and sixty-five years after its creation for Broadway, Street Scene debuts at Dresden’s Semperoper, the first of Weill’s American works ever to be presented there. Street Scene opens on 19 June for a seven-performance run ending 3 July, in a production conducted by Jonathan Darlington and directed by Bettina Bruinier, with a cast including Sabine Brohm (Anna Maurrant), Markus Marquardt (Frank Maurrant), Carolina Ullrich (Rose), and Simeon Esper (Sam Kaplan).
