That "bargain" stole she rushed to buy has turned out to be the costliest flop of her career. If only she'd realized that, without spending more, a truly good yet inexpens ive fur could have been hers - together with the personal attenti on, the confident advice of a real craftsman furrier. As it was, t he salesgirl who served her knew less about furs than she did her self. 'f here ore such things as genuine fur sales, of course. Every furr ier must make room for new stocks once a year. But a really good fur - whether timeless mink or inexpensive marmot, whether ermin e, kolinsky or squirrel - deserves some thoughtful consideratio n. And chat can be a real pleasure.

  • Marie Collier: a Life
    Marie Collier: a life Kim Kemmis A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History The University of Sydney 2018 Figure 1. Publicity photo: the housewife diva, 3 July 1965 (Alamy) i Abstract The Australian soprano Marie Collier (1927-1971) is generally remembered for two things: for her performance of the title role in Puccini’s Tosca, especially when she replaced the controversial singer Maria Callas at late notice in 1965; and her tragic death in a fall from a window at the age of forty-four. The focus on Tosca, and the mythology that has grown around the manner of her death, have obscured Collier’s considerable achievements. She sang traditional repertoire with great success in the major opera houses of Europe, North and South America and Australia, and became celebrated for her pioneering performances of twentieth-century works now regularly performed alongside the traditional canon. Collier’s experiences reveal much about post-World War II Australian identity and cultural values, about the ways in which the making of opera changed throughout the world in the 1950s and 1960s, and how women negotiated their changing status and prospects through that period. She exercised her profession in an era when the opera industry became globalised, creating and controlling an image of herself as the ‘housewife-diva’, maintaining her identity as an Australian artist on the international scene, and developing a successful career at the highest level of her artform while creating a fulfilling home life. This study considers the circumstances and mythology of Marie Collier’s death, but more importantly shows her as a woman of the mid-twentieth century navigating the professional and personal spheres to achieve her vision of a life that included art, work and family.

  • Verdi's Rigoletto
    Verdi’s Rigoletto - A discographical conspectus by Ralph Moore It is hard if not impossible, to make a representative survey of recordings of Rigoletto, given that there are 200 in the catalogue; I can only compromise by compiling a somewhat arbitrary list comprising of a selection of the best-known and those which appeal to me. For a start, there are thirty or so studio recordings in Italian; I begin with one made in 1927 and 1930, as those made earlier than that are really only for the specialist. I then consider eighteen of the studio versions made since that one. I have not reviewed minor recordings or those which in my estimation do not reach the requisite standard; I freely admit that I cannot countenance those by Sinopoli in 1984, Chailly in 1988, Rahbari in 1991 or Rizzi in 1993 for a combination of reasons, including an aversion to certain singers – for example Gruberova’s shrill squeak of a soprano and what I hear as the bleat in Bruson’s baritone and the forced wobble in Nucci’s – and the existence of a better, earlier version by the same artists (as with the Rudel recording with Milnes, Kraus and Sills caught too late) or lacklustre singing in general from artists of insufficient calibre (Rahbari and Rizzi). Nor can I endorse Dmitri Hvorostovsky’s final recording; whether it was as a result of his sad, terminal illness or the vocal decline which had already set in I cannot say, but it does the memory of him in his prime no favours and he is in any case indifferently partnered.

  • L'opérette Est-Elle Amenée À Disparaître ? Christiane Dupuy
    L'opérette est-elle amenée à disparaître ? Christiane Dupuy-Stutzmann Un grand historien de la danse à dit : « la France a ceci de particulier, qu’elle possède une terre féconde, une terre qui crée beaucoup de choses dans tous les domaines, mais qui contrairement aux autres, oublie son passé ». Ce triste constat est également valable pour ce spectacle total qu’est l’opérette, dont l’influence universelle, née sur les bords de la Seine, a donné lieu à un répertoire immense. Le metteur en scène argentin Jérôme Savary décédé en 2013, disait à ce propos, « la France est un pays bizarre qui condamne son opérette en ne la faisant plus représenter alors que lorsqu’on me demande de mettre en scène au Théâtre du Châtelet ou au Théâtre des Champs-Elysées « La Vie Parisienne » ou « La Périchole», la billetterie est littéralement prise d’assaut par le public parisien dès le 1er jour d’ouverture de la location ! » Comme on peut le constater, le goût du public n’est nullement en cause ! Les amateurs d’opérette, certes plus nombreux parmi les séniors, réclament inlassablement le retour d’une programmation même restreinte ! L’argument de ses détracteurs consiste à faire passer l’opérette pour un genre dépassé qui ne serait plus du goût des jeunes générations alors qu’en réalité, c’est plutôt par ignorance de ce répertoire et parce qu’on ne le programme plus que les jeunes ne s’y intéressent plus ! Il est avéré que l’opérette n’est pratiquement plus programmée dans les saisons lyriques de nos théâtres français.
