Featured last year on BBC 2’s series Maestro at the Opera, the course offers an immersion in preparing singers for operatic performance, with an incomparable faculty of teachers including Sir Richard Bonynge, Pamela Bullock, Jonathan Papp and Audrey Hyland. This year the President of the Nando and Elsa Peretti Foundations, Ms Elsa Peretti (the pre-eminent designer for Tiffany), has made it possible for the course to be run in Elsa’s elective city of Barcelona, in collaboration with the Theatre Akademia, where WKHUpSpWLWHXU¶V¿QDOFRQFHUWZLOOWDNHSODFHRQ$SULODW Six outstanding young pianists, from $XVWUDOLD)UDQFH*UHHFH6SDLQDQGWKH8., will gather in Barcelona in April with six talented singers, all alumni of the Georg Solti Accademia’s Bel Canto course, to focus on this vital, but often hidden, craft. A répétiteur is the singer’s key ally in achieving their performance, and essential to any opera production. They are the ultimate multi-taskers of the opera world, and must be constantly alert to vocal performance, musicality, language, style and nuance, while bringing the whole orchestral score alive at the piano. No wonder so many of them go on to become great opera conductors – Georg Solti, Riccardo Muti, Valery Gergiev and Sir Antonio Pappano to name but four.

  • PERFORMED IDENTITIES: HEAVY METAL MUSICIANS BETWEEN 1984 and 1991 Bradley C. Klypchak a Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate
    PERFORMED IDENTITIES: HEAVY METAL MUSICIANS BETWEEN 1984 AND 1991 Bradley C. Klypchak A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2007 Committee: Dr. Jeffrey A. Brown, Advisor Dr. John Makay Graduate Faculty Representative Dr. Ron E. Shields Dr. Don McQuarie © 2007 Bradley C. Klypchak All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Dr. Jeffrey A. Brown, Advisor Between 1984 and 1991, heavy metal became one of the most publicly popular and commercially successful rock music subgenres. The focus of this dissertation is to explore the following research questions: How did the subculture of heavy metal music between 1984 and 1991 evolve and what meanings can be derived from this ongoing process? How did the contextual circumstances surrounding heavy metal music during this period impact the performative choices exhibited by artists, and from a position of retrospection, what lasting significance does this particular era of heavy metal merit today? A textual analysis of metal- related materials fostered the development of themes relating to the selective choices made and performances enacted by metal artists. These themes were then considered in terms of gender, sexuality, race, and age constructions as well as the ongoing negotiations of the metal artist within multiple performative realms. Occurring at the juncture of art and commerce, heavy metal music is a purposeful construction. Metal musicians made performative choices for serving particular aims, be it fame, wealth, or art. These same individuals worked within a greater system of influence. Metal bands were the contracted employees of record labels whose own corporate aims needed to be recognized.

The game is available on pre-order at Amazon, where it is outselling other pre-order games by 10 to 1 and is set to be the online retailer's biggest selling board game this Christmas. With more than 3 months till release, the home version of Edmonds' popular TV programme Deal or No Deal has seen a 400% sales increase on Amazon.co.uk in the past 4 weeks.

"We foolishly thought that was it after Noel's House Party and Mr Blobby...how wrong we were," says Paul Sanders, Amazon.co.uk Senior Toys Buyer. "The success of Deal or No Deal shows that everything he touches right now seems to be turning to gold. I wouldn't be surprised to see the game under a few Christmas trees this year."

In this ground-breaking book, Derek B. Scott examines the cultural transfer of operetta from the German stage to Britain and the USA and offers a historical and critical survey of these operettas and their music. In the period 1900–1940, over sixty operettas were produced in the West End, and over seventy on Broadway. A study of these stage works is important for the light they shine on a variety of social topics of the period – from modernity and gender relations to new technology and new media – and these are investigated in the individual chapters. This book is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core at doi.org/10.1017/9781108614306. derek b. scott is Professor of Critical Musicology at the University of Leeds.
