  • Adelina Patti and Clara Louise Kellogg in the Chicago Tribune, 1860-1876
    DOCUMENTING DIVAS: ADELINA PATTI AND CLARA LOUISE KELLOGG IN THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE, 1860-1876 Kathryn Jancaus A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF MUSIC December 2020 Committee: Eftychia Papanikolaou, Advisor Ryan Ebright © 2020 Kathryn Jancaus All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Eftychia Papanikolaou, Advisor When Swedish soprano Jenny Lind (1820-1887) came to the United States in 1850, the ecstatic craze surrounding her arrival belied a larger trend which was taking root among the American press and public: a fascination with the lives of celebrity opera singers. One of the Lind enthusiasts was a college student named George P. Upton (1834-1919), who later became the music critic for the Chicago Tribune. In his work over the following decades, Upton continued to take a vivid interest in the lives, careers, and personalities of prima donnas, writing about them with an intensely personal style that was common in newspapers of his time. As journalists for the Tribune provided news about opera stars to their readers in Chicago, they not only shaped the public images of these singers but also promoted the appreciation of classical music as a cause for civic pride in their relatively young city. In this study I examine how George P. Upton and other journalists published in the Chicago Tribune wrote about two star sopranos of the mid to late nineteenth century: Adelina Patti (1843-1919) and Clara Louise Kellogg (1842-1916). I bring together newspaper articles from the years 1860 through 1876 and use secondary literature to place the critics’ approach in context.

  • Exploring the Impact of the Railroad on the Development of Musical Culture
    GOING OFF THE RAILS: EXPLORING THE IMPACT OF THE RAILROAD ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF MUSICAL CULTURE IN KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI (1869–1905) A THESIS IN Musicology Presented to the Faculty of the University of Missouri-Kansas City in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF MUSIC by GABRIELLA RODERER B.M., Manhattan School of Music, 2012 M.M., Bowling Green State University, 2014 D.M.A., University of Missouri-Kansas City, 2021 Kansas City, Missouri 2021 © 2021 GABRIELLA RODERER ALL RIGHTS RESERVED GOING OFF THE RAILS: EXPLORING THE IMPACT OF THE RAILROAD ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF MUSICAL CULTURE IN KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI (1869–1905) Gabriella Roderer, Candidate for the Master of Musicology Degree University of Missouri-Kansas City, 2021 ABSTRACT Kansas City, Missouri, is a musical oasis in the United States. In addition to being considered one of the four original jazz centers, local audiences also enthusiastically welcome art music and experimental music of all kinds.1 This deep appreciation for music and the arts can be traced to the development of the railroad in Kansas City and how it connected the city to the artistic lifeblood of the country. This thesis explores the existing research about the establishment of Kansas City as a railroad hub and the subsequent cultural blossoming experienced in the city at the turn of the century. This thesis project makes a connection between the railroad and the growth of music culture. The development of various aspects of music in Kansas City including, band, orchestra, opera, theater, vaudeville, music education, and music publications which the research in this thesis indicates is traced back to the societal impacts the railroad had on the frontier town in the last three decades of the nineteenth century.

  • EARLY DAYS of GRAND OPERA in HOUSTON and GALVESTON by Joseph S, Gallegly *
    EARLY DAYS OF GRAND OPERA IN HOUSTON AND GALVESTON by Joseph S, Gallegly * Although the first professional dramatic performance in the Republic of Texas took place in 1838, it was almost thirty years after that before an opera troupe appeared on a stage in a Texas city. There are a number of circumstances that could have accounted for this delay. When the great Madame Malibran (Signorina Garcia) and her father introduced Italian grand opera to New York in 1821, Texas, then a Spanish colony, was hardly more than an unconquered wilderness with its few tiny settlements scattered far and wide over its broad domain. It is doubtful that the Garcias would have been interested in a visit to Texas even after San Jacinto, as many noted players were; the Garcias had wrinkled a contumelious nostril at the thought of penetrating the Eastern interior beyond New York City. And in the 'fifties, after Texas had acquired statehood, and Jenny Lind, on her memorable excursion through the States, came as near the former republic as New Orleans, cultured Galveston, the leading city of the state at the time, lacked both impressario and theatre of proper appoint- ments for the accomnlodation of orchestra and singers. Opera managers were as circumspect in those days as Mr. Bing is in ours; only a Caruso in the most populous centers has ever made grand opera pay in the United States. The country has no Vienna or Milan. A small-town playhouse manager must indeed be bold and desperate to make the hazardous venture of booking a grand opera company for a season at his theatre.

  • Opera in English: Class and Culture in America, 1878–1910
    OPERA IN ENGLISH: CLASS AND CULTURE IN AMERICA, 1878–1910 Kristen M. Turner A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Music in the College of Arts and Sciences. Chapel Hill 2015 Approved by: Annegret Fauser Mark Evan Bonds John Nádas Katherine K. Preston Philip Vandermeer ©2015 Kristen M. Turner ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Kristen M. Turner: Opera in English: Class and Culture in America, 1878–1910 (Under the direction of Annegret Fauser) European grand opera performed in English translation was a potent cultural force in the United States at the end of the long nineteenth century. Analysis of business correspondence, theater records, advertisements, reviews, and social commentaries, reveals that rhetoric about opera engaged with issues of class, race, gender, and nationalism. Critics identified foreign-language grand opera as a high art, suitable primarily for the upper class and educated listeners. In contrast, writers viewed the same operas sung in English as entertainment for a middle-class audience who wished to enjoy opera in the vernacular performed by American singers. Southern small towns, such as Raleigh, North Carolina, used English-language opera and art music to reinforce racial boundaries and to project a civic identity as a refined, middle-class city. The African American community, as a result of segregation and oppression, had different conceptions about art, class, and culture than the white majority. African American writers framed English-language performances by the all-black Theodore Drury Grand Opera Company as a way to resist racial tyranny by emphasizing the skill of the troupe’s singers and the sophistication of its educated black audience.

  • Zensur Und Political Correctness Auf Der Opernbühne Von Michael Walter
    Zensur und Political Correctness auf der Opernbühne Von Michael Walter Zensur Sozial- und politikromantische Einbildungen haben eine lange, vielleicht sogar unendliche Lebensdauer, vor allem – aber nicht nur – in den Massenmedien. Zu solchen Vorstellungen gehört, dass die Oper vor allem im 19. Jahrhundert eine revo- lutionäre und systemkritische Wirksamkeit entfaltete oder die Komponisten dies zumindest beabsichtigten: Aubers Stumme von Portici etwa hätte 1830 die Revo- lution in Brüssel ausgelöst. Weil die Oper ein Revolutionsduett enthält, müsse die Oper revolutionär und gegen das monarchische System gerichtet gewesen sein. Ver- dis frühe Opern seien gegen die habsburgische Besetzung Italiens gerichtet gewesen, hätten Propaganda gemacht für den Risorgimento und politisch aufrüttelnde Musik sowie verdeckte politische Botschaften im Text enthalten. Mozarts Figaro sei eine Freiheitsoper knapp vor der Französischen Revolution, und auch im Don Giovanni gehe es irgendwie um Freiheit, weil schon in der ersten Szene der Diener Leporello aufmüpfig und politisch davon singe, er wolle auch endlich mal ein Edelmann sein. Die Opernzensur, so wird umgekehrt geschlossen, sei dazu dagewesen, all dies zu unterdrücken. Und die freiheitsliebenden und aufgeklärten Komponisten hätten einen steten Kampf gegen die Zensoren zu führen gehabt. Das hier skizzierte Bild der Operngeschichte darf man, auch wenn es immer noch in wissenschaftlichen Kontexten erscheint, als groben Unfug bezeichnen. Es ist schon lange erwiesen, dass Aubers Stumme von Portici 1830 nicht die belgische Revolution ausgelöst hat1 oder dass Verdis Opern der 1840er Jahre keinen politischen Inhalt hatten und seine Melodien das Opernpublikum nicht zum risorgimentalen Protest verleiteten2. Und Mozarts Don Giovanni und Figaro sind problemlos und von der Zensur unbehelligt an deutschen Hofopern aufgeführt worden, können also nicht 1 Vgl.

  • Cincinnati Opera Festivals During the Gilded Age
    The Illustrated News MUSIC HALL, 1883 (Cincinnati), Feb. 3, 1883 First Act of "Lohengrin" (Drawn by H. F. Farny) BULLETIN of The Cincinnati Historical Society April 1966 CINCINNATI Vol. 24 No. 2 Cincinnati Opera Festivals During the Gilded Age by JOSEPH E. HOLLIDAY The Gilded Age, whose negative aspects of crass materialism, poor taste and graft in political life have been so emphasized, was not without its positive achievements.1 Some of these were in the field of scientific development and cultural striving. The 1870's and early 1880's were years of great progress in the cultural development of Cincinnati, particularly in the field of music. That city, with a popu- lation in 1870 of 216,239, was the most populous city in the state of Ohio and the second in size in the west. Many of its civic leaders had high hopes of it becoming the musical center of the Middle West and their hopes were not unfounded. Choral societies had long been a part of Cincinnati's social life, especially among the German element of the population. The May Festivals, using the membership of these societies, were inaugurated with great success in 1873. Music Hall, probably the finest audi- torium in the country at the time it was opened in 1878, was built irThe Gilded Age, a term originally coined by Mark Twain, has come to be generally used by historians to denote the social life in the United States from 1865 to 1890. See H. Wayne Morgan, ed., The Gilded Age: a Reappraisal (Syra- cuse, 1963).
