Una Aproximación Al Teatro De Enrique García Álvarez
UNA APROXIMACIÓN AL TEATRO DE ENRIQUE GARCÍA ÁLVAREZ Por Elena Palacios Gutiérrez A. INTRODUCCIÓN 1. APROXIMACIÓN AL AUTOR: INFANCIA Y JUVENTUD. nrique García Álvarez nace en Madrid un 10 de octubre de 1873 en la céntrica calle del Barquillo. Toda su vida transcurre en esta ciudad en su Edomicilio del número siete de la calle Villalar. Hombre entre dos siglos, sus obras formarán parte de ese gran momento que vive el teatro español en los últimos años del diecinueve y primeras décadas del veinte, convivirá con figuras dispares como Galdós, Benavente, los hermanos Álvarez Quintero, Eduardo Marquina, Pedro Muñoz Seca y otros muchos comediógrafos. Entre todos ellos, Enrique García Álvarez propone cierto desenfado e intenta trasladar la farsa a la vida misma, llevar el humor a lo cotidiano. Al igual que su producción dramática, “absurdo y divertido es el propio Enrique García Álvarez”1. Su vida estará mar- cada por esa búsqueda de lo irrisorio, de un humor desorbitado que pretende siempre suscitar una sonrisa y una carcajada. El año en que nace García Álvarez, 1873, estaban recientes importantes acon- tecimientos que afectaron a la historia y a la literatura española. Todavía presen- tes el asesinato del general Prim y la muerte de Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer, irreco- nocido aún en su labor artística por el gran público, las tertulias del momento trataban estos temas, al tiempo que hablaban de otros grandes escritores como Galdós o Valera, quienes componían sus Episodios Nacionales y su Pepita Jimé- nez respectivamente. Desde el punto de vista social, eran años difíciles, pues sólo 1 José Montero Alonso, “Vida, humor y drama de Enrique García Álvarez”, Serafín y Joaquín Álvarez Quintero. -

THE JOURNEY with ANGEL BLUE New Episodes Tuesdays at 1:00 P.M
THE JOURNEY WITH ANGEL BLUE New Episodes Tuesdays at 1:00 p.m. Central Time Premiered August 25, 2020 TDO Network presents The Journey with Angel Blue, hosted by one of the world’s most engaging and beloved sopranos, Angel Blue. Her new TDO Network series is designed to lift the spirit by finding the “silver lining” in even the most challenging circumstances. Ms. Blue will reflect on her own personal journey through life, offer unique perspectives, and share her ideas on how to accentuate the positive every day. ABOUT THE HOST: Incandescent American soprano Angel Blue has performed, to date, in more than 35 countries with companies including the Vienna State Opera, Semperoper Dresden, San Francisco Opera, Frankfurt Opera, the Aix-en-Provence Festival, La Scala (where she was the first black singer to portray Violetta), and the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden. Her most recent triumph was headlining the Metropolitan Opera’s 2019/20 season-opener, Porgy and Bess. The Gershwin classic was seen in theaters all around the world as part of the Metropolitan Opera’s “Live in HD,” and was also featured on PBS’s “Great Performances.” Over the course of her career, Ms. Blue has earned enthusiastic acclaim in numerous roles, including the title role of Tosca, Violetta in La traviata, Liù in Turandot, Marguerite in Gounod’s Faust, Elena in Boito’s Mefistofele, Giulietta in Les Contes d’Hoffmann, Micaëla in Carmen, and both Clara and Bess in Porgy and Bess. She is perhaps most popularly associated with Puccini’s La bohème, making her U.S. -
Federico Moreno Torroba's Relations with the Franco Regime
Federico Moreno Torroba’s Relations with the Franco Regime Walter Aaron Clark University of California, Riverside A few years ago, I mentioned to a fellow musicologist, an eminent and learned Hispanist, that Bill Krause and I were writing a book about Federico Moreno Torroba.1 Much to my surprise, his immediate and almost breathless reaction was, “Torroba? Wasn’t he that . ?” I knew the words he intended but hesitated to say: “fascist composer?” In that moment it dawned on me that Torroba was and continues to be viewed by some—imprecisely but persistently—as having been a fellow traveler with Franco. I knew then that this was an issue we would have to confront fearlessly, and without any preconceptions or attempts to massage our data to suit a preconceived outcome. This paper is an initial summary of our findings and presents our answer to a simple question: what was the nature of Torroba’s relationship with Franco and Francoism? Let’s make one thing perfectly clear: we reject out of hand the argument from guilt by association. Many eminent composers and artists made their peace with the Franco regime and flourished in Spain during the dictatorship, including not only Joaquín Rodrigo and Joaquín Turina but also such stalwarts of the artistic avant-garde as Salvador Dalí and Joan Miró. Yet, they are not thought of as fascists. So, why tar and feather Torroba? Perhaps it is because he was Catholic and a monarchist. But millions of his fellow Spaniards were the same, and that did not automatically make them suspect. -
