A large body of published research exists regarding the physiology of breathing, the acoustics of singing, and solutions for specific vocal faults. There is similarly a growing body of research into the system of voice classification and repertoire assignment. This paper shall reexamine this research in light of baritenor voices. After establishing the general parameters of healthy vocal technique through appoggio, the various tenor, baritone, and bass Fächer will be studied to establish norms of vocal criteria such as range, timbre, tessitura, and registration for each Fach. The study of these Fächer includes examinations of the historical singers for whom the repertoire was created and how those roles are cast by opera companies in modern times.

    From Page to Stage: Wagner As Regisseur

    Wagner Ia 5/27/09 3:55 PM Page 3 Copyrighted Material From Page to Stage: Wagner as Regisseur KATHERINE SYER Nowadays we tend to think of Richard Wagner as an opera composer whose ambitions and versatility extended beyond those of most musicians. From the beginning of his career he assumed the role of his own librettist, and he gradually expanded his sphere of involvement to include virtually all aspects of bringing an opera to the stage. If we focus our attention on the detailed dramatic scenarios he created as the bases for his stage works, we might well consider Wagner as a librettist whose ambitions extended rather unusually to the area of composition. In this light, Wagner could be considered alongside other theater poets who paid close attention to pro- duction matters, and often musical issues as well.1 The work of one such figure, Eugène Scribe, formed the foundation of grand opera as it flour- ished in Paris in the second quarter of the nineteenth century. Wagner arrived in this operatic epicenter in the fall of 1839 with work on his grand opera Rienzi already under way, but his prospects at the Opéra soon waned. The following spring, Wagner sent Scribe a dramatic scenario for a shorter work hoping that the efforts of this famous librettist would help pave his way to success. Scribe did not oblige. Wagner eventually sold the scenario to the Opéra, but not before transforming it into a markedly imaginative libretto for his own use.2 Wagner’s experience of operatic stage produc- tion in Paris is reflected in many aspects of the libretto of Der fliegende Holländer, the beginning of an artistic vision that would draw him increas- ingly deeper into the world of stage direction and production.

ROCHESTER Thirty-first Season, 1911-1912 MAX FIEDLER, Conductor Programme WITH HISTORICAL AND DESCRIP- TIVE NOTES BY PHILIP HALE MONDAY EVENING, JANUARY 29 AT 8.15 COPYRIGHT, 1911, BY C. A. ELLIS PUBLISHED BY C. A. ELLIS, MANAGER : : Vladimir De Pachmann The Greatest Pianist Of the 20th Century ON TOUR IN THE UNITED STATES SEASON: 1911-1912 For generations the appearance of new stars on the musical firmament has been announced — then they came with a temporary glitter — soon to fade and to be forgotten. De Pachmann has outlived them all. With each return he won additional resplendence and to-day he is acknowl- edged by the truly artistic public to be the greatest exponent of the piano of the twentieth century. As Arthur Symons, the eminent British critic, says "Pachmann is the Verlaine or Whistler of the Pianoforte the greatest player of the piano now living." Pachmann, as before, uses the BALDWIN PIANO for the expression of his magic art, the instrument of which he himself says " .... It cries when I feel like crying, it sings joyfully when I feel like singing. It responds — like a human being — to every mood. I love the Baldwin Piano." Every lover of the highest type of piano music will, of course, go to hear Pachmann — to revel in the beauty of his music and to marvel at it. It is the beautiful tone quality, the voice which is music itself, and the wonderfully responsive action of the Baldwin Piano, by which Pachmann's miraculous hands reveal to you the thrill, the terror and the ecstasy of a beauty which you had never dreamed was hidden in sounds.

    __________________________________________________________________________ 2 MUSIKSTUNDE mit Trüb Freitag, 15. 2. 2013 „Weber, Wald und Wolfsschluchzen: Das Theatergenie Carl Maria von“ (5) MUSIK: INDIKATIV, NACH CA. … SEC AUSBLENDEN Carl Maria von Weber war ein Komponist der Zukunft. Zeitlebens genoss er kein besonders hohes Ansehen innerhalb der „Zunft“ - aber die Nachgeborenen verehren ihn. In seinen Memoiren etwa schrieb Héctor Berlioz: „Der Komponist hat den kindischen Forderungen der Mode und den noch gebieterischeren Forderungen der Sängereitelkeit (…) nirgends auch nur im geringsten nachgegeben. Er hat seine schlichte Wahrhaftigkeit, seine stolze Ursprünglichkeit, seinen Hass gegen den Formelkram, seine Würde dem Publikum gegenüber, dessen Beifall er durch keine feige Herablassung erkaufen wollte, seine Größe ebenso im Freischütz wie im Oberon bewahrt.“ Robert Schumann fand im Weber'schen Oeuvre „alles höchst geistreich und meisterhaft“, Tschaikowsky hörte vor allem „(viel) Wärme, (…) Unmittelbarkeit der Eingebung, (vollständiges) Fehlen von Künstelei und technischer Anstrengung“. Claude Debussy meinte: „Er erforscht die Seele der einzelnen Instrumente und legt sie mit behutsamer Hand bloß. Sie offenbaren sich ihm und geben ihm mehr, als er gefordert hatte.“ Und im Gespräch mit Erwin Kroll, anno 1932, verriet Strawinsky lapidar: „Weber ist einer meiner Lieblingskomponisten.“ Nicht zu vergessen auch die Hommage der Tat: Gustav Mahler bewunderte Weber so sehr, dass er dessen Opernfragment „Die drei Pintos“ bis zur Bühnenreife bearbeitete, und Paul Hindemith schuf eines seiner bekanntesten Orchesterstücke nach Webers Schauspielmusik zu „Turandot“: Sinfonische Metamorphosen über Themen von Carl Maria von Weber.

WEBER The New York Times 2 CDs (Completed by Mahler) Founded in 1951, Wexford Festival Opera presents three annual productions of rare operas, the artistic standards of which have been hailed by critics the world over. Presented consecutively over what is now an eighteen day event the operas and the supporting programme of over forty other events attracts audiences from all Die drei Pintos over the world. The Festival has been described by the Daily Express as “the opera lovers’ perfect treat – the town has an exquisite small theatre which stages little known operas in elegantly economical productions”. Opera in Three Acts But of course Wexford is much more. The warmth and intimacy of the town, the genuine welcome of the people for visitors to the event and the coastal location all add to make Wexford, according to the Financial Times. Holzer • Furlong • Zechmeister • Marilley • Shaw • Svab “a setting that never goes stale no matter how often one visits”. The Festival itself takes over the town with a festive air permeating every side street. The traders compete with each other for the best festive window. The Wexford Festival Opera Chorus artists and audiences mingle in the cafes and bars along Main Street. Audiences gather from all over the world as they have done for over fifty years to experience artistic delights, a festival of international repute, with opera at its core.
