Where Have the Great Big Wagner Voices Gone?
Where Have The Great Big Wagner Voices Gone? Andrew Moravcsik Many critics, fans and opera professionals agree that the heights attained by Wagner and Verdi singers in the “Golden Age” of the mid-20th century have eroded.1 Today most perceive a severe shortage of great spinto and dramatic opera voices—the vocal types for which Wagner, Verdi, Puccini and other late 19th or early 20th century composers wrote most of their music. These are “great big voices”: the most powerful, expressive and weighty in opera, able to project over a massive orchestra for three to six hours at a stretch, while maintaining the sharp edge, dark resonance and precise diction that express bold and direct emotions.2 In the area of Wagner performance, many have sounded the alarm about this recent decline. Nina Stemme, one of today’s finest Brünnhildes, speaks for many when she describes Wagnerian standards seventy-five years ago: “Flagstad and Melchior really ruined everything for later Wagner singers. No one today comes close: we can only modestly attempt to approach the score in other ways.”3 At the Metropolitan Opera, a house that consistently attracts the world’s best singers, the late 1930s and early 1940s are almost unanimously viewed, in Paul Jackson’s words, as a “concurrence of artists and repertory which finds no equal within memory.” Wagnerian singers of this period are “benchmarks of performance history.”4 Table 1 compares cast lists during five three-year periods over the past century—illustrating how, with a few individual exceptions, quality has generally declined.5 This paper presents preliminary results from the first academic study to examine this perceived decline.
