In this ground-breaking book, Derek B. Scott examines the cultural transfer of operetta from the German stage to Britain and the USA and offers a historical and critical survey of these operettas and their music. In the period 1900–1940, over sixty operettas were produced in the West End, and over seventy on Broadway. A study of these stage works is important for the light they shine on a variety of social topics of the period – from modernity and gender relations to new technology and new media – and these are investigated in the individual chapters. This book is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core at doi.org/10.1017/9781108614306. derek b. scott is Professor of Critical Musicology at the University of Leeds.

  • HERBERT BRANDL Bilderbuch Bilderbogen 5 FEB – 14 MAR 2020
    In the LOGIN: HERBERT BRANDL Bilderbuch Bilderbogen 5 FEB – 14 MAR 2020 Concurrently with Herbert Brandl’s major solo exhibition on show at Belvedere 21, Vienna, from 31 January to 24 May 2020, we are presenting a selection of current works entitled Bilderbuch Bilderbogen [Picture Set Picture Sequence] at the LOGIN, the gallery window space on Grünangergasse. New and previously unseen works will be on show on a weekly rotation as part of a dynamic format. This means that, every Tuesday over the course of the run, a further exhibition will emerge which, as a series, will open up a tableau that reveals Brandl’s highly expressive natural and colourful worlds, offering an insight into his stunning imagery. In his latest works Brandl pursues his in-depth exploration of the complex themes of nature, landscape and abstraction. Here, at the focal point of his artistic output, he has chosen to place deserted observations of nature. Captivating his interest is the elaboration of individual motifs such as mountain formations, crystals, waterfalls, hyenas and lions, motifs to which he has returned time and again in cycles of works elaborated over long periods of time. As with his latest theme, the rose, these are motifs with clichéd attributions which he approaches with his own substantive and formal examination. Scaled up onto large-format canvases, framed in excerpt-like details and rendered detached from their contexts, they gain a certain urgency and monumental presence. It is their originality and seemingly untouched nature which Brandl has addressed with his idiosyncratic gaze and highlighted in his works.

Master Drawings of the Baroque, from May 1st, 2013 onwards. Besides its main focus on painted oil sketches, the Rossacher Collection includes a bundle of works drawn on paper. The Kupferstichkabinett of the Alte Galerie houses more than 400 freehand drawings. This exhibition comprises carefully selected works from both collections. With a few exceptions, the Baroque hand drawing should not be seen an artwork in its own right. It was primarily a form of preparation and design for another artistic medium. Accordingly, the exhibition is divided by areas of design – for altars, for ceiling and wall paintings, as well as for altar pieces and copper engravings. The works are often striking as individual works in their vivid, spontaneous and modern-seeming strokes.

  • Program Notes
    Program Notes Saturday, April 18, 7:30pm Five Flags Theatre Sunday, April 19, 2:00pm Downtown Dubuque WILLIAM INTRILIGATOR, Music Director & Conductor Best of Opera Opera, where compelling drama meets virtuosic vocal and instrumental music, is the most visceral genre in classical music. Its characters burst into song because their emotions are simply too powerful for ordinary speech. Though operatic plots are frequently hard to believe, they always deal with the most basic and universal of human emotions: ambition, jealousy, anger, revenge, and above all, passionate love. Drawing on music from the 18th, 19th, and early 20th centuries, tonight’s concert travels from France to Italy to Germany and Austria, and on to Russia to visit many of the most beloved moments in opera: from exhilarating orchestral overtures to full-throated choruses to the magnificently heart-on-sleeve arias of some of opera’s most memorable characters. We begin with the very colorful “Les Voici” chorus that opens Act IV of Georges Bizet’s (1838–1875) masterpiece Carmen, premiered in 1875. Today, Carmen is considered one of the most perfect of all operas: an ideal blending of spellbinding story, vivid characters, expert pacing, and, above all, nonstop musical inspiration. The libretto was based on Prosper Mérimée’s gritty novella about an untamed gypsy who makes her own rules, chooses her own lovers, and welcomes death without a tremor. Carmen seduces an upright young soldier, Don José, away from the army and his fiancée into a nefarious life of smuggling, then jilts him for the glamorous toreador, Escamillo. Maddened by jealousy, Don José stalks her at the bullfights in Seville and stabs her to death outside the arena.
