Mills Ouachita Baptist University Follow this and additional works at: https://scholarlycommons.obu.edu/honors_theses Part of the French and Francophone Literature Commons, Other Theatre and Performance Studies Commons, and the Translation Studies Commons Recommended Citation Mills, Joy A., "Allusions and Historical Models in Gaston Leroux's The Phantom of the Opera" (2004). Honors Theses. 83. https://scholarlycommons.obu.edu/honors_theses/83 This Thesis is brought to you for free and open access by the Carl Goodson Honors Program at Scholarly Commons @ Ouachita. It has been accepted for inclusion in Honors Theses by an authorized administrator of Scholarly Commons @ Ouachita. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Gaston Leroux's 1911 novel, The Phantom of the Opera, has a considerable number of allusions, some of which are accessible to modern American audiences, like references to Romeo and Juilet. Many of the references, however, are very specific to the operatic world or to other somewhat obscure fields. Knowledge of these allusions would greatly enhance the experience of readers of the novel, and would also contribute to their ability to interpret it. Thus my thesis aims to be helpful to those who read The Phantom of the Opera by providing a set of notes, as it were, to explain the allusions, with an emphasis on the extended allusion of the Palais Garnier and the historical models for the heroine, Christine Daae. Notes on Translations At the time of this writing, three English translations are commercially available of The Phantom of the Opera.

  • The Reception of Herculanum in the Contemporary Press
    The reception of Herculanum in the contemporary press Gunther Braam How can the success of an opera in its own time be examined and studied? Quite simply, by working out the number of performances and the total amount of receipts generated, then by creating – and assess - ing – the most extensive dossier possible of the reviews which appeared in the contemporary press. herculanum : from playbill to box office With regard to the number of performances, the Journal de l’Opéra , today held in the Bibliothèque Nationale de France, is fortunately at our dis - posal. Nevertheless, this needs to be analysed carefully, not overlooking the fact that the presence of an opera in the repertory might well result from reasons other than artistic ones, such as the departure of a direct- or, those connected with the singers entrusted with the leading roles, the destruction of scenery (often as a result of fires), for political reasons or for all kinds of other possibilities. Examples which could be mentioned include Tannhäuser by Wagner (1861), or – why not also – the less well- known La Nonne sanglante by Gounod (1854): far from being unsuccess - ful in terms of audience levels, these two operas were withdrawn after three performances for Tannhäuser , and eleven for La Nonne sanglant e; the average receipts for the two operas were respectively 8,890 and 6,140 francs (in comparison, the receipts for a performance of Les Huguenots 77 félicien david: herculanum in 1859, typically ranged between 6,000 and 7,000 francs).

Crazy in love with Marie, the young peasant Tonio engages in the battalion to see her every day. When the Marquise of Berkenfield reveals the true identity of Mary, who is her daughter, the young woman could be separated forever from Tonio. Acclaimed by the lyric press, South African soprano Pretty Yende returns to the stage of the Met opposite the tenor Javier Camarena for an opera of great vocal virtuosity under the baton of Enrique Mazzola. The alchemist Donizetti's expertise once again acts with this unique blend of melancholy and joy. Tenor Javier Camarena and soprano Pretty Yende team up for a feast of bel canto vocal fireworks—including the show-stopping tenor aria “Ah! Mes amis … Pour mon âme,” with its nine high Cs. Alessandro Corbelli and Maurizio Muraro trade off as the comic Sergeant Sulpice, with mezzo-soprano Stephanie Blythe as the outlandish Marquise of Berkenfield. And in an exciting piece of casting, stage and screen icon Kathleen Turner makes her Met debut in the speaking role of the Duchess of Krakenthorp. Enrique Mazzola conducts.

  • Fiche AC Gounod.Qxd
    Les fiches pédagogiques - Compositeur CHARLES GOUNOD(1818 - 1893)hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Il naît à Paris le 17 juin 1818. Issu d’une famille d’artistes (père peintre et mère pro- fesseur de piano) il est attiré assez jeune vers ces matières. Après avoir obtenu son baccalauréat en 1835 , il décide de devenir musicien malgré les réticences de sa mère. A partir de 1838, il poursuit des études au conservatoire et obtient le premier Grand prix de Rome l’année suivante. Accompagné d’Hector le Fuel (architecte), il arrive à Rome le 27 janvier 1840 où la Villa Médicis est dirigée par Jean-Auguste- Dominique Ingres. Il se lie avec la sœur de Félix Mendelssohn qui lui fait découvrir les romantiques allemands. Il écrit ses premières mélodies en 1842, notamment sa Messe de Rome et un Requiem. En 1843, après un détour par Vienne, Berlin ou en- core Leipzig, il est de retour à Paris et dirige la musique à l’église des Missions étrangères jusqu’en 1848, date à laquelle cesse sa vocation religieuse. Soutenu par l’influente Pauline Viardot, il obtient une commande de l’Opéra de Paris : Sapho. La création de l’opéra le 16 avril 1851 ne fait pas grand bruit et sa reprise à Londres le 8 août est catastrophique. En revanche ses mélodies et sa musique chorale ren- contre un certain succès. Le 20 avril 1852, Gounod épouse Anna Zimmerman et à la mort de son beau-père, s'installe dans une magnifique demeure à St Cloud. En 1858, sa mère disparait alors que le succès à l'opéra arrive avec Le Médecin malgré lui (1858) et Faust (1859) où il se montre d'une sensualité délicate et émouvante et où il révèle un sens théatral évident.

The play tells the story of a doctor who is seduced by the devil with the promise of youth and love, and tracks his tragic fall into greed, lust and bloody violence. Gounod was seduced by the play’s dramatic plot, its elements of the supernatural, and the potential for creating a spectacular theatrical experience. Working with “… Musical ideas sprang to the poet Jules Barbier from a version of Goethe’s play by Michael Carré called ”Faust et Marguerite”, my mind like butterflies, and Gounod created a five act opera in French that was all I had to do was to stretch first performed in Paris in 1859.

    The University of Akron From the SelectedWorks of David Procházka 2018 Polyeucte, by Paul Dukas. David Procházka, The University of Akron Available at: https://works.bepress.com/david-prochazka/1/ Paul Dukas (b. Paris, 1 October 1865 - d. Paris, 17 May 1935) Polyeucte Overturefor orchestra ( 1891 ) Preface Paul Abraham Dukas was a French musician who worked as a critic, composer, editor, teacher, and inspector of music institutions across France. He was the middle of three children. His mother was a pianist, and his father was a banker. The familywas of Jewish descent, but seemed to focus more on thecultural life of Paris than on religious matters. Show­ ing some musical talent in his adolescence, Dukas' fatherencouraged him to enroll in the Conservatoire de Paris, which he did at the age of 16. It was here that Dukas began a life-long friendshipwith Claude Debussy, who was three years his senior. While Dukas was moderately successfulas a student, the crowning Prix de Rome eluded him in four successive years. In 1886 and 1887, he did not reach the finals; in 1888 he submitted the cantata Vel/eda, and in 1889 he offeredthe cantata Semele, neither of which were chosen as the winning composition. Discouraged, Dukas leftthe Conservatoire to fulfill his military service. He returnedto Paris and began a dual career as critic and composer in 1891. With time, Dukas also became a music editor, working on modem editions of works by Rameau, Couperin, Scarlatti, and Beethoven. He returnedto the Conservatoireto teach orchestration ( 1910-1913) and composition (beginning in 1928); he also taught at the Ecole Nonnale.
