Operas by Titles (Appendix 5) 40 PREFACE In education as well as entertainment, films have played an increasingly important role. Opera, a visual and dramatic as well as musical art, naturally lends itself to cinematic form, as is evidenced by the number of opera films which have been produced from the era to the present day. Many of these films are, unfortunately, difficult or impossible to obtain, but many visually and musically excellent films are easily available at little or no cost. These films can be valuable aids to the teacher in classes, from introductory through advanced levels, dealing with music, literature, foreign languages, history, theatre, or general humanities. They can also be very useful to fund-raisers and program planners of opera guilds, music societies, community centers, churches, film societies, or other organizations. This guide was compiled to facilitate the selection of readily available films for rental at reasonable cost. As its title indicates, this guide is a selection, and makes no attempt to list every opera film ever made. To have done so would only have made more complex the task of its prospective user. Therefore, many films known to exist, but unavailable for distribution or difficult to obtain are not included. For instance, various films made for educational television are listed, but the NET Opera Theatre Productions are not available for distribution and have, therefore, been omitted. The same is true of films available exclusively from foreign distributors. A partial list of these may be found in Films for Music Educators and Opera Films (1962) and Music in Film and Television: Inter- national Catalogue 1964-1974 (1975), both compiled by the International Music Centre in and published by UNESCO. I have listed all films which I know are available and have made no recommendations on specific films. The user need only check the italicized description beneath a film's title, the running time, and the information regarding language of performance and existence of subtitles, , or narration to decide whether it is appropriate for a particular audience. Opera on film can be the next best thing to actually attending a performance; for many viewers it may be the first or only means of seeing an opera. These films can be creative works of art, valuable teaching tools, and aids to fund-raising and program planning, as well as highly enjoyable forms of entertainment. I hope this guide will make it easier for many more people to use and enjoy them.

Acknowledgements I would like to express my appreciation to all those who helped in this project. Robert Tuggle of the Metropolitan Opera Guild, Margaret Everitt and Edward Corn of the Metropolitan Opera Association were the persons who identified the need for this catalogue and asked me to prepare it. Bob Leverone of the American Film Institute gave me the initial list of people to contact for information, and Maria Rich and Jeanne Kemp of Central Opera Serrice edited the material and provided the publishing structure. Support, publication and distribution assistance has come from the National Endow- ment for the Humanities, Central Opera Service, and the Metropolitan Opera Guild. ROBERT GLICK University of

— 1 — HOW TO USE THIS DIRECTORY

The films in this guide are divided into four categories: composers and operas, arias and ensembles in concerts and festivals, biographical films, and educational films. Films belonging to more than one category have been cross-listed and five appendices have been devised for maximum clarity and utilization of this directory. Section A, Composers and Operas, contains complete, abridged, and excerpted versions of operas. Films are listed alphabetically by composer, and each composer's operas are listed alphabetically by title. Complete versions are listed first, followed by abridged versions and excerpts. Unless otherwise indicated the version is complete, except perhaps for customary cuts. Biographical films about the composer, arranged alphabetically by title, follow the opera listings. Each entry follows this form: COMPOSER Title of Opera Descriptive Comments Language (subtitles) Producer, Director or producing organization date, B&W/C, film size, running time Orchestra/Conductor distributor (s) Cast If the title of the film is different from the opera, the opera title is followed by a slash and the film title in quotation marks. If a role is being played by an actor with a voice-over by a singer, the actor's name is followed by a slash and the singer's name. Information in the right-hand column of each entry should aid in selecting films: infor- mation on language, narration, subtitles and running time, together with the italicized comment will indicate the suitability for a particular audience; film size must be matched with available equipment; and distributor's codes will direct the user to sources for ordering the film. The key to distributors' names and addresses is in Appendix 4. Section A also includes references to excerpts from operas included in films listed in other sections, and is cross-referenced in Appendix 5 by opera title. Section B, Arias and Ensembles in Concerts and Festivals, lists films which contain opera excerpts as part of a filmed concert. No composers are named; films are arranged alphabetically by title, otherwise information is in the same format as Section A. Section C, Biographical Films Exclusive of Composers, contains film biographies of operatic personalities other than composers, and fictional biographies of opera singers. Films are listed alphabetically by subject, and each entry follows the format of Section A, except that the subject's name replaces the composer on the first line. (Composers' biographies are included in Section A.) Section D, Educational Films, contains only educational films devoted to specific aspects of opera or to opera as an art form. Sections A, B, and C should also be consulted by educators, since they include such films as biographies and analyses of specific operas. These can easily be identified by the italicized description below the title. As a further aid to teachers, Appendices 1-3 identify specific film groups. Films in Section D are arranged alphabetically by title and follow the format of Section B.

— 2 — Five appendices follow Section D. Appendix 1 lists films in the directory for which a study guide is known to exist. Appendix 2 identifies the composers represented by one or more biographical films in Section A. Appendix 3 lists alphabetically the names of film series represented in this guide and the individual titles of the films. Appendix 4 contains the key to the names and addresses of the film distributors referred to in the main entries, arranged alphabetically by code abbreviation. Not all public and university libraries with film archives could be checked. Several major ones are included among the distributors and the user is urged to check his nearest university or public library, as many of them have film lending services. In cases where two or more dis- tributors are listed it is suggested to check availability and price with each, since rental fees may vary. Appendix 5 indexes Section A alphabetically by opera title, indicating complete, abridged and excerpted versions.
