  • CHAD SHELTON, Tenor
    CHAD SHELTON, tenor Opera News praises tenor Chad Shelton for one of his trademark roles, claiming that his “Don José was the dramatic heart of this production; this was a performance that grew in complexity as he struggled to recon- cile the forces of loyalty, lust and fate. Shelton owned the final scene, as his character descended into despair fueled by psychotic obsession. His bright tone amplified the intensity of the last gripping moments.” In the 2016-17 season, he makes returns to the Grand Théâtre de Genève for his first performances of Sir Edgar Aubry in Der Vampyr and Houston Grand Opera to reprise Chairman Mao in Adams’ Nixon in China and sings Don Jose in Carmen on tour in Japan as a guest artist of the Seiji Ozawa Music Academy Opera Project. He also sings his first perfor- mances of Mahler’s Das Lied von der Erde with the Phoenix Symphony and returns to the roster of the Metropolitan Opera for its production of Cyrano de Bergerac. Last season, he retured to Houston Grand Opera for Cavardossi in Tosca and to create the role of Charles II in the world premiere of Carlisle Floyd’s Prince of Players. He made his Metropolitan Opera debut as Rodrigo in a new production of Otello and also joined the company for Elektra in addition to returning to one of his most fre- quently performed roles, Alfredo in La traviata, with Pensacola Opera. He has joined the Opéra National de Lorraine numerous times, including for the title role of Idomeneo, Giasone in Cherubini’s Medea, Don Jose in Carmen, Jack in Gerald Barry’s The Importance of Being Earnest, Lysander in A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Guido Bardi in Eine floren- tinische Tragödie, Lechmere in Owen Wingrave, Tamino in Die Zauber- flöte, and the title role of Candide.

  • María Del Carmen: Birth, Death, and Resurrection of Enrique Granados’S Operatic Chef D’Oeuvre
    María del Carmen: Birth, Death, and Resurrection of Enrique Granados’s Operatic chef d’oeuvre Walter Aaron Clark University of California, Riverside Abstract Granados is best known to opera-goers as the composer of the musically enchanting (if dramatically lackluster) Goyescas, a work derived from his eponymous piano suite, both compositions having been inspired by the art and epoch of the great Spanish painter Francisco de Goya (1746–1828). However, conspicuous by a lengthy absence has been his other Spanish opera, María del Carmen (1898), the stagework the composer himself esteemed most. This is the opera for which Granados should be famous. The fact that it is not poses several questions. Why did this opera languish in obscurity for decades, being revived only in 2003—outside of Spain—and then in a revision of uncertain faithfulness to the composer’s intentions? Indeed, is this the work that Granados originally conceived? If not, where is Granados’s original score? And why should we care? What significance, if any, does this opera have in the history of Spanish music, culture, and even politics? The following paragraphs present the answers to these questions. Keywords: Enrique, Eduardo, and Víctor Granados, María del Carmen, Josep Feliu i Codina, Nathaniel Shilkret Resumen Los aficionados a la ópera reconocen a Granados como al compositor de Goyescas, obra encantadora desde la perspectiva musical, si bien deslucida desde el punto de vista dramático. Tanto ella como la otra ópera española del músico leridano, María del Carmen (1898), se derivan de la suite para piano también titulada Goyescas. Aunque el autor estimaba más esta última ópera por su arte escénico, María del Carmen ha caído en una oscuridad casi absoluta durante décadas, resucitada sólo en 2003 fuera de España y basada en una partitura de dudosa fidelidad a las intenciones del compositor.

Roig-Francoli, Ph. D _______________________________Frank Weinstock, Professor _______________________________Elisabeth Pridonoff, Professor _______________________________ _______________________________ Interpretive Issues in Performing the Piano Suite “Goyescas” by Enrique Granados A doctoral document submitted to the Division of Graduate Studies and Research of the University of Cincinnati In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS In the Division of Keyboard Studies of the College-Conservatory of Music 2008 by Soyoung Cho M. M., Ewha Womans University, 1997 B. M., Kyung-Won University, 1992 Committee Chair: Miguel A. Roig-Francoli, Ph.D. Abstract Goyescas is a very challenging work full of Granados’s artistic devotion for searching the authentic Spanish character in a variety of ways. Numerous Spanish elements – references to Goya’s works, tonadillas, Spanish dances and songs, sound of guitars and castanets, etc. – are incorporated into this work. It is, indeed, a complex art work that interrelates visual arts, poetry, and music, all with a Spanish subject. Any pianists planning to study Granados’s Goyescas should first acquire the necessary background based on a thorough study of the music and its history. Knowledge of Granados’s inspiration from Goya’s works, the piece’s narrative elements related with the opera Goyescas, Spanish idioms, and the improvisatory nature of Granados’s piano style, is indispensable for fully understanding, interpreting, and performing this work.

  • Reception of Musical Hispanism in New York at the Turn of the 20Th
    068-02/2021SEN1 ISSN 2688-2949 (online) ISSN 2688-2965 (print) Reception of Musical Hispanism in New York 1 at the Turn of the 20th Century and the ‘Boom’ in Spanish Lyric Theatre through the Work of Enrique Granados and Quinito Valverde Miriam Perandones Lozano Universidad de Oviedo Abstract: This study offers a broad overview of the Spanish musicians who traveled to the United States in the early 20th century, and, more specifically, describes the reception of Spanish opera and zarzuela on the East Coast of the U.S. at that time. It reviews the studies on the reception of Hispanic music in North America from the 19th century onward and contextualizes the debuts of Enrique Granados’s opera Goyescas (1916) and Quinito Valverde’s zarzuela The Land of Joy (1917), as these two works, whose New York debuts took place only twenty-one months apart, played a key role in developing a taste for Hispanic lyric theatre in the U.S. Granados’s opera is associated with prestige and the cultural elite, and it presented a modern image of Spain linked to the so-called Generation of ’98, whereas Valverde’s zarzuela is a light, accessible, easy-to-digest revue built on Spanish stereotypes. These debuts marked the definitive establishment of a lyric theatre in New York City that was Spanish in both language and themes. Keywords: Hispanic music, zarzuela, reception, Enrique Granados, Goyescas, Quinito Valverde, The Land of Joy 1 [Editors’ note: This is an English translation, offered by the Observatorio, of the Spanish original submitted by the author.
