What Is It Western Classical Theater Plays and Opera A. Greek Oedipus Rex Greek title: Oidipous Tyrannos Playwright: Sophocles Genre: Tragedy It was regarded by many to be the best Greek tragedy and the most successful play of Sophocles. It tells the story of Oedipus of Thebes who killed his own father and married his own mother. Main Characters: • Oedipus – the king of Thebes • Jocasta – Oedipus’ wife and mother • King Laius – father of Oedipus • Antigone and Ismene – child of Oedipus and Jocasta and therefore both Oedipus’ daughters and sisters. • Creon – Oedipus’ brother-in-law • Apollo – god or oracle of Delphi • Polynices and Eteocles – sons and brothers of Oedipus • Tiresias – the blind prophet of Thebes • Haemon – Antigone’s lover/fiancé • Theseus – the king of Athens and a renowned and powerful warrior. • Eurydice – Creon’s wife • Merope – Oedipus’ foster mother • Polybus – Oedipus’ foster father • Sphinx – the half-human half-lion that symbolizes plague and misfortune. Theatrical Elements • Number of Characters per Play: 1 to 3 characters only but they can portray other characters • The Chorus: consists of 12 members, all of whom wear identical masks since they were supposed to be of like mind and opinion. • Masks: the use of masks acts to advance the universality of the themes and the dramatic impact of the events and to keep the audience from being distracted by the actual, physical attributes of the actors. (A Journey Through Western Music and Arts 9 Learner’s Material, page 278) Props: Masks used in Oedipus Rex • Oedipus – a gold mask with exaggerated deep empty eye sockets.

6

• Jocasta’s mask depends on the scene of the play.

• Antigone and Ismene – white face, dark under eyes and sad looking.

• Creon – mad or angry facial expression with crown.

(A Journey Through Western Music and Arts 9 Learner’s Material, page 279)

Gestures and Movements Facial expression was of no importance to Greek actors since they were always masked. Music Sophocles used the Chorus at the beginning of the play to help tell the audience the given circumstances of the play. Choruses did a lot of lamenting of terrible events. Costumes Men wore loose floor length poncho with pleated shoulder while females wore draped robes. (A Journey Through Western Music and Arts 9 Learner’s Material, page 280)

Staging The Parthenon’s façade has the design of Ionic order of columns with cornice and mouldings on the top, elevated by 5 step-risers at the center, and a platform in front near the audience.

C. Romantic Period Carmen It is an opera in four acts by French composer Georges Bizet with a libretto in French by Henri Meilhac and Ludovic Halévy that premiered on March 3, 1875. With a plot based on the 1845 novella of the same name by Prosper Mérimée, Bizet’s Carmen was ground-breaking in its realism, and it rapidly became one of the most popular Western operas of all time. It is the source of many memorable and widely recognized songs, notably those known by the popular names “Toréador Song” and “Habanera.” Carmen also is the best-known example of opéra-comique, a genre of French opera not necessarily comic but featuring both spoken dialogue and sung portions. Despite its current reputation, however, it was condemned by the earliest critics, who were unaccustomed to seeing the lives of the common folk, much less the world of gypsies (in Mérimée they are specifically identified with the Roma), smugglers, deserters, factory workers, and various ne’er-do- wells given centre stage. The setting of Carmen takes place in Seville, Spain during the mid- 19th century. (A Journey Through Western Music and Arts 9 Learner’s Material, page 288) Main Characters • Carmen, a gypsy (mezzo-soprano)

• Don José, a corporal of dragoons (tenor) • Escamillo, a matador (baritone) • Le Dancaïre, smuggler (baritone) • Le Remendado, smuggler (tenor) • Zuniga, a captain (bass) • Moralès, an officer (bass) • Micaëla, a peasant girl (soprano) • Frasquita, a gypsy friend of Carmen (soprano) • Mercédès, a gypsy friend of Carmen (mezzo-soprano) • Innkeeper, guide, officers, dragoons, various workers in a cigarette factory, gypsies, smugglers, etc. Costume
