  • Weill, Kurt (Julian)
    Weill, Kurt (Julian) (b Dessau, 2 March 1900; d New York, 3 April 1950). German composer, American citizen from 1943. He was one of the outstanding composers in the generation that came to maturity after World War I, and a key figure in the development of modern forms of musical theatre. His successful and innovatory work for Broadway during the 1940s was a development in more popular terms of the exploratory stage works that had made him the foremost avant- garde theatre composer of the Weimar Republic. 1. Life. Weill‟s father Albert was chief cantor at the synagogue in Dessau from 1899 to 1919 and was himself a composer, mostly of liturgical music and sacred motets. Kurt was the third of his four children, all of whom were from an early age taught music and taken regularly to the opera. Despite its strong Wagnerian emphasis, the Hoftheater‟s repertory was broad enough to provide the young Weill with a wide range of music-theatrical experiences which were supplemented by the orchestra‟s subscription concerts and by much domestic music-making. Weill began to show an interest in composition as he entered his teens. By 1915 the evidence of a creative bent was such that his father sought the advice of Albert Bing, the assistant conductor at the Hoftheater. Bing was so impressed by Weill‟s gifts that he undertook to teach him himself. For three years Bing and his wife, a sister of the Expressionist playwright Carl Sternheim, provided Weill with what almost amounted to a second home and introduced him a world of metropolitan sophistication.

  • Note Al Programma
    NOTE AL PROGRAMMA Berlino, al centro del continente europeo e della sua storia, è sempre stata in grado di rivelare, in ogni epoca, da che parte spirasse il vento, rappresentando il fulcro della modernità occidentale quanto ad arte, musica, cultura e pensiero politico. Agli inizi degli Anni Trenta del secolo scorso l’aria che tirava era fortemente condizionata dal Nazismo. La crisi economica derivante dal crollo di Wall Street nel ’29 e la disoccupazione dilagante nella Repubblica di Weimar avevano posto le basi a un cambiamento politico che, per una città così vitale e aperta alla diversità e ai dibattiti d’ogni tendenza, rappresentava una grossa stonatura. Dal disagio sociale i nazisti avevano tratto beneficio e potere, e inculcarono nel pensiero comune che le colpe di quel dissesto fossero da imputare alla popolazione di discendenza ebraica. E l’incolpare gli ebrei di ogni fatto qualunque, perfino meteorologico, divenne per tutti un luogo comune. La devastazione, nel novembre del ’38, delle vetrine dei negozi appartenenti a commercianti ebrei fu la prova di una strada ormai segnata e senza ritorno. Mentre una legge stabiliva che quei danni dovessero «essere immediatamente riparati [dagli stessi] titolari e dai dirigenti ebrei [e a loro spese]», in città v’era uno spazio in cui tutto questo, oltre al quotidiano, diventava materia di un discorso comune, capace di cogliere l’ironia da ogni fatto rovesciando l’umore di ciascun cittadino: era il cabaret. Esisteva da tempo, il cabaret, come palcoscenico irriverente e beffardo sull’attualità. Ma nel periodo nazista questo divenne inevitabilmente il nucleo di grandi contraddizioni e di conflitti ideologici.

  • Ein Hauch Von Venus
    EIN HAUCH VON VENUS Originaltitel: ONE TOUCH OF VENUS Genre: Musical Autoren: Musical Comedy in zwei Akten Musik von Kurt Weill Buch von S. J. Perelman und Ogden Nash Songtexte Ogden Nash Nach „The Tinted Venus" von F. Anstey Neue deutsche Fassung von Roman Hinze (2019) Inhalt: "The show is ageless... The Weill score is as varied as it is melodic, with waltzes and ballads sharing the stage with a barbershop quartet . The artfulness in unison of music, lyrics and libretto make this musical well worth rediscovering." The New York Times, 1987 Unter Verwendung des antiken Sagenstoffs der schönen Galathee, die als Statue zu Leben erwacht, und der Novelle von Guthrie entstand eine Liebeskomödie im New York der vierziger Jahre. Aus einer Laune heraus steckt Rodney, ein junger Friseur, einer Venusstatue im Museum den für seine Braut Gloria vorgesehenen Verlobungsring an den Finger. Venus wird lebendig und verfolgt ihn mit Leidenschaft. Gloria wird von ihr an den Nordpol verbannt. Rodney und Venus landen im Gefängnis, da man ihnen den Raub einer Statue und das unerklärliche Verschwinden Glorias anlastet. Als die launische Liebesgöttin erfährt, dass sie als Gattin Rodneys ihr Leben in einem Frisiersalon verbringen soll, verwandelt sie sich wieder in Marmor zurück. Für ONE TOUCH OF VENUS schrieb Kurt Weill einige seiner bekanntesten Songs, darunter „I'm a Stranger Here Myself", „Speak Low" und „Foolish Heart". Für die Titelrolle hatte sich der Komponist ursprünglich Marlene Dietrich gewünscht, die die Partie jedoch "zu sexy" gefunden haben soll. Stattdessen begann für Mary Martin als Venus eine große Broadwaykarriere. Ausführliche Informationen zu ONE TOUCH OF VENUS finden Sie auf den Internetseiten der Kurt Weill Foundation.

  • The Film Musical? a Proposal for a Genre Definition
    The film musical? A proposal for a genre definition Marida Rizzuti IULM - Libera Università di Lingue e Comunicazione [email protected] The passage of the musical from the theatre to the cinema saw a transformation in its language; it entered a no man’s land (Iser 2000) be- tween what was ‘no longer’ theatrical and ‘not yet’ cinematographic. Musicals on the silver screen are generally referred to as ‘film musicals’ (Altman 1989; Altman 2004), to differentiate them from those staged in the theatre. However this definition is problematic because it can suggest that the musical component, which is an integral part of the art form, is subordinate in the narrative project. In this essay I argue that there was a change in the attitude to the music in the film musical over the years 1943 – 1964, a period in which the conventional Broadway musical underwent a radical transformation. In the late 1940s new productions tailed off significantly and producers focused on mounting revivals of the hits of the 1930s and early 1940s. At the same time the Broadway production system changed radically and the onus moved from Broadway to the Hollywood film industry (La Polla – Monteleone 2002; La Polla 2004). Rather than taking a rigidly classificatory approach or arriving at a de- finition of a genre – the musical – whose salient character has been its ongoing transformism, this essay hopes to contribute to a clearer vision of the film musical, based on the role music played in the passage from theatrical to cinematographic language. 2 Marida Rizzuti One Touch of Venus and My Fair Lady1 are two significant works in the history of the musical because they span the chosen period and represent the interchange that took place between Broadway and Holly- wood.
