Dear Hans, thanks for sharing, you're the cat's pajamas. Better, you're The Cat's Fugue.By J. FaulkThese extracts, melded together, from the composer's diary were published in Germany in 1959 and in English in 2003.In 1957 Ashton and Henze meet in Ischia to convert the old German folktale Undine into a ballet scenario that choreographer, composer, and the great ballerina Fonteyn can find inspiring (as well as the traditionalist London audience). The tale commences in the hut of a fisherman and his wife and their foundling daughter, actually an ondine. The girl immediately falls in love (so far as an ondine can) with the guest Knight. It takes Ashton and Henze a long time to jettison this commonplace setting. Meanwhile, Henze's diary wanders off into appreciation of Italian life.Henze goes to London to write the music and his diary shares the milieu with us. Designer Lila De Nobili comes over from Paris and joins in the ever-shifting ideas.

    Ferenc Molnar

    L I L I O M A LEGEND IN SEVEN SCENES BY FERENC MOLNAR EDITED AND ADAPTED BY MARK JACKSON FROM AN ENGLISH TEXT BY BENJAMIN F. GLAZER v2.5 This adaptation of Liliom Copyright © 2014 Mark Jackson All rights strictly reserved. For all inquiries regarding production, publication, or any other public or private use of this play in part or in whole, please contact: Mark Jackson email: [email protected] www.markjackson-theatermaker.com CAST OF CHARACTERS (4w;4m) Marie / Stenographer Julie / Louise Mrs Muskat Liliom Policeman / The Guard Mrs Hollunder / The Magistrate Ficsur / A Poorly Dressed Man Wolf Beifeld / Linzman / Carpenter / A Richly Dressed Man SCENES (done minimally and expressively) FIRST SCENE — A lonely place in the park. SECOND SCENE — Mrs. Hollunder’s photographic studio. THIRD SCENE — Same as scene two. FOURTH SCENE — A railroad embankment outside the city. FIFTH SCENE — Same as scene two SIXTH SCENE — A courtroom in the beyond. SEVENTH SCENE — Julie’s garden, sixteen years later. A NOTE (on time & place) The current draft retains Molnar’s original 1909 Budapest setting. With minimal adjustments the play could easily be reset in early twentieth century America. Though I wonder whether certain of the social attitudes—toward soldiers, for example— would transfer neatly, certainly an American setting could embody Molnar’s complex critique of gender, class, and racial tensions. That said, retaining Molnar’s original setting perhaps now adds to his intention to fashion an expressionist theatrical legend, while still allowing for the strikingly contemporary themes that prompted me to write this adaptation—among them how Liliom struggles and fails to change in the face of economic and social flux; that women run the businesses, Heaven included; and Julie’s independent, confidently anti-conventional point of view.

    Don Quixote Press Release 2019

    January 2019 Carlos Acosta’s celebrated production of Don Quixote returns Friday 15 February – Thursday 4 April 2019 Live Cinema relay: Tuesday 19 February 2019 #ROHDonQ Federico Bonelli and Sarah Lamb in Don Quixote, ©ROH/Johan Persson, 2013 Carlos Acosta’s vibrant dance production of Miguel de Cervante’s classic tale Don Quixote returns to the Royal Opera House this Spring. Created specially for The Royal Ballet in 2013, this stunning production tells the story of the bumbling knight Don Quixote and his ever-faithful squire Sancho Panza, and their efforts to help the young lovers Kitri and Basilio. This revival features exciting debuts from Lauren Cuthbertson, Yasmine Naghdi and Mayara Magri as Kitri and Matthew Ball, Alexander Campbell and Marcelino Sambé as Basilio. Don Quixote For all Royal Opera House press releases visit www.roh.org.uk/for/press-and-media includes a number of spectacular solos and pas de deux as well as outlandish comedy and romance as the dashing Basilio steals the heart of the beautiful Kitri. Don Quixote will be live streamed to cinemas on Tuesday 19 February as part of the ROH Live Cinema Season. Carlos Acosta previously danced the role of Basilio in many productions of Don Quixote. He was invited by Kevin O’Hare Director of The Royal Ballet, to re-stage this much-loved classic in 2013. Acosta’s vibrant production evokes sunny Spain with designs by Tim Hatley who has also created productions for the National Theatre and for musicals including Dreamgirls, The Bodyguard and Shrek. Acosta’s choreography draws on Marius Petipa’s 1869 production of this classic ballet and is set to an exuberant score by Ludwig Minkus arranged and orchestrated by Martin Yates.

    What’s the Use of Wondering if He’s Good or Bad?: Carousel and the Presentation of Domestic Violence in Musicals. Patricia ÁLVAREZ CALDAS Universidad de Santiago de Compostela [email protected] Recibido: 15.09.2012 Aceptado: 30.09.2012 ABSTRACT The analysis of the 1956 film Carousel (Dir. Henry King), which was based on the 1945 play by Rodgers and Hammerstein, provides a suitable example of a musical with explicit allusions to male physical aggression over two women: the wife and the daughter. The issue of domestic violence appears, thus, in a film genre in which serious topics such as these are rarely present. The film provide an opportunity to study how the expectations and the conventions brought up by this genre are capable of shaping and transforming the presentation of Domestic Violence. Because the audience had to sympathise with the protagonists, the plot was arranged to fulfil the conventional pattern of a romantic story inducing audiences forget about the dark themes that are being portrayed on screen. Key words: Domestic violence, film, musical, cultural studies. ¿De qué sirve preocuparse por si es bueno o malo?: Carrusel y la presentación de la violencia doméstica en los musicales. RESUMEN La película Carrusel (dirigida por Henry King en 1956 y basada en la obra de Rodgers y Hammerstein de 1945), nos ofrece un gran ejemplo de un musical que realiza alusiones explícitas a las agresiones que ejerce el protagonista masculino sobre su esposa y su hija. El tema de la violencia doméstica aparece así en un género fílmico en el que este tipo de tratamientos rara vez están presentes.

Elles donnent le ton et le temps à ceux qui s’y accordent. De la danse traditionnelle thaïe aux Ländler de Brahms, les pulsations d’une chorégraphie réelle ou rêvée emportent la musique et les corps dans leurs tournoiements. Le khon, théâtre traditionnel thaï apparu voici mille ans dans les cours royales d’Ayutthaya, s’imposa rapidement comme le divertissement privilégié des rois. Il met en scène des personnages masqués, richement costumés de brocarts de soie, qui exécutent des danses très codifiées, accompagnées par des musiciens, des chanteurs et des narrateurs. La très forte puissance évocatrice de cet art pictural vivant permet d’entrer en contact avec le monde invisible, de donner âme aux croyances magiques… Et aussi de fonder l’identité de la communauté, de la rassembler sur des temps forts. Le programme imaginé par Jordi Savall sous le titre de Ludi Musici : L’esprit de la danse participe du même paradoxe, pas dansés qui font à la fois la distinction et la communion des corps : il présente un répertoire composite, qui rassemble deux siècles de musiques dansées (de 1450 à 1650) en Europe occidentale, en Asie occidentale et en Amérique latine.

    Arthur Kleiner, Who Has Been Composing, Arranging and Playing the Piano Accompani­

    he Museum of Modern Art i^ No. 32 |l West 53 Street, New York, N.Y. 10019 Circle 5-8900 Cable: Modernart FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Tuesday, March 28, 1967 Arthur Kleiner, who has been composing, arranging and playing the piano accompani­ ments for silent films at The Museum of Modern Art for 28 years, is retiring the first of April, Rene d'Hamonoourt. Director of the Museum, announced today. As Music Director of the Department of Film since 1939, and probably the world's only full- time silent movie pianist, Mr. Kleiner has sought out long-lost scores for innumerable early films, researched films for which the scores could not be found in order to com­ pose the appropriate music, and written scores when none existed. Born in Vienna, Austria, Mr. Kleiner studied piano, organ and theory at the Vienna Music Academy from 191ii to 1921. From then until 1928 he was an accompanist- composer for major dance companies touring throughout Europe and a professor at Max Reinhardt's Seminar for Actors in Vienna, where he also composed scores for numerous plays. He conducted A Midsummer Night's Dream for Reinhardt during the Salzburg Festival of 1933- After arriving in the United States in 1938, his first job was playing piano accompaniment for choreographer George Balanchine, as well as for Agnes de Mille and the Ballet Theatre. In 1939 when he was approached by Iris Barry, first Curator of the Museum's Department of Film, to play for the Museum's screenings, she asked him if he could play ragtime.
