    Offenbach, Peter Gammond, Omnibus Press, 1980, 0711902577, 9780711902572, 168 pages. Jacques Offenbach will always be associated with music which is tuneful, but frivolous. Yet he was also a serious writer and composers from Lehar to Gershwin are indebted to him for the impetus which he gave to musical comedy. Much of his work satirised the socialites of the glittering Second Empire in Paris. Nevertheless, they adored him and his music. Although he was an untiring worker, he also led a glamorous life. Peter Gammond gives a highly readable account of Offenbach's life and his musical achievements.

According to: http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-a-tall-tale.htm A tall tale is a story about a larger-than-life character, either fictional or based on a real person who has exaggerated adventures and performs exaggerated feats of daring, strength, courage, and/or intelligence. It is typical of the tall tale that everything in it is the subject of hyperbole, and in this characteristic, it bears relation to the “fish story” or “whopper,” in which a fisherman’s exploits are exaggerated for dramatic or humorous effect.

    AUSTRALIAN EPHEMERA COLLECTION FINDING AID DAME JOAN SUTHERLAND, OM, AC, DBE AND RICHARD BONYNGE, AC, CBE PERFORMING ARTS PROGRAMS AND EPHEMERA (PROMPT) PRINTED AUSTRALIANA APRIL 2018 The Sutherland/Bonynge file in the Library’s PROMPT collection documents the extensive and intertwined Australian and overseas careers of opera singer Joan Sutherland, and orchestral conductor Richard Bonynge. This husband and wife team of musicians helped the career of the other by frequently performing together, her usually as principal singer under his baton. It was Bonynge who discovered Sutherland’s ability to sing the great bel canto roles and to this end he researched and conducted the operatic repertoire which most suited his wife’s unique coloratura voice. CONTENT Printed materials in the PROMPT collection include programs and printed ephemera such as brochures, leaflets, tickets, etc. Theatre programs are taken as the prime documentary evidence of a performance by Sutherland/Bonynge. In a few cases however, the only evidence of a performance is a piece of printed ephemera. In these cases the type of piece is identified, eg, brochure. The list is based on imperfect holdings and is updated as gaps in the Library’s holdings for these artists are filled. Unless otherwise stated, all entries are based on published programs in the PROMPT collection. For a list of Joan Sutherland’s performances to 31 December 1990, please refer to Richard Bonynge’s A prima donna's progress : the autobiography of Joan Sutherland.

Even before the first somber chords have sounded, the performance has already been hailed the event of the season -- Mozart’s Don Giovanni, starring the incomparable Stella from Milan. Forget the rest of the cast. It’s Stella’s night, her long anticipated local debut, sold out weeks in advance. Too bad we’re not going to hear it. Instead, like the many others who were unable to obtain last minute tickets at any price, here we are, relegated to the bar next door -- Luther’s tavern, located with convenient access to the backstage dressing rooms.

Technology forms an accidental detour leading from humanity to more humanity. In an alternative, “Olympian” practice of singing, humanity and machinery constantly and productively contaminate each other. My readings, centering around the singing doll Olympia from Jacques Offenbach’s 1881 opera Les Contes d’Hoffmann , illuminate the affective and ethical consequences of the confrontation between Promethean and Olympian song.
