  • 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.

THIS ARTICLE PRESENTS A POSSIBLE EUROPEAN CULTURAL ROUTE AND THE TOURIST CIRCUIT ON BRÂNCUȘI'S TRACKS IN PARIS. CONSTANTIN BRANCUSI REPRESENTS THE COMMON CATALYST, THE FORCE VECTOR FOR THE ENTIRE ROMANIAN SPIRITUALITY, THE EXPONENT OF THE ROMANIAN CULTURE BASED ON THE TRADITIONAL AUTHENTIC. ROMANIANS EVERYWHERE FIND THEIR IDENTITY IN THE WORK OF THE SYMBOL OF THE TRADITIONAL ROMANIAN SPIRITUALITY, CONSTANTIN BRANCUSI, AS A BINDER OF THE RECONNECTION TO THE ORIGINS OF THE TRADITIONAL ROMANIAN CULTURE. CULTURAL ITINERARIES ARE CONSIDERED AN ELEMENT OF INNOVATION IN WHICH THEY SHOULD SUPPORT THE PROMOTION OF THE EUROPEAN IDENTITY AND THE COMMON HERITAGE. CULTURAL ROUTES ARE ITINERARIES THAT GATHER TOGETHER IMPORTANT ELEMENTS OF HERITAGE, WHICH STAND AS TESTIMONY AND ILLUSTRATE SPECIFIC PERIODS AND EVENTS OF EUROPEAN HISTORY. THEY ARE CHARACTERIZED BY MOBILITY AND ALSO IMPLY AN INTANGIBLE AND SPATIAL DYNAMIC THAT THE CULTURAL LANDSCAPE DOES NOT POSSESS, WHICH IS MORE STATIC AND LIMITED IN NATURE.

C., offers a one-week Migration Studies Summer Academy from July 29 to August 3, 2019 in Eichstätt, Germany. The subject „Origin – Transit – Des- tination – Future“ will be discussed in this Summer Academy. Furthermore, students from both catholic universities have the opportunity to deal with theories and methods, chances and challenges related to flight and migration. We expect an intensive exchange with declared experts in interdisciplinary research of flight and migration. A central item of the agenda will be the development of a research draft within small study groups. The research drafts will be presented at the end of the Summer Academy and should clearly refer to one of the four topics mentioned above. The focus is placed on many areas such as politics, law, language, media, religion and church analyzed from various disciplinary angles (e.g. psychology, history, social work, philosophy, political science, law, sociology and theology). This program aims at master‘s degree students in different fields. 2 Official Welcome Dear participants of the Migration Studies Sum- mer Academy, In the name of the Presidium and the entire Univer- sity community, I am delighted to warmly welco- me you at the Catholic University of Eichstätt-In- golstadt (KU).

(66'29) The Young Richard Strauss ichard Strauss (1864–1949) is associated with the glorious sound of the large post-Wagnerian symphonic orchestra. This is the sound recognized by millions who heard the beginning of Strauss’s tone poem Also sprach Zarathustra, used R in numerous movies ever since 1968, when it achieved film-music fame in Stan- ley Kubrick’s 2001—A Space Odyssey. Music lovers know and appreciate, perhaps even love Richard Strauss for his symphonic poems and operas, and many are familiar with some of his Lieder, especially his Four Last Songs for soprano and orchestra, written the year before his death. However, the more intimate sound of his chamber music, most of which was com- posed before the composer’s twenty-first birthday, is largely unknown. Strauss spent his childhood in his native Munich and was decisively influenced by the musical life of both his family and the city.

Herzog Franz von Bayern Der Richard Wagner Verband München kann im Jahr 2021 auf sein 150jähriges Bestehen zurückblicken. Als Schirmherr des Internationalen Richard Wagner Kongresses im Oktober 2021 möchte ich dem Verein zu seinem runden Jubiläum herzlich gratulieren. Über die Verbindung zwischen Richard Wagner und König Ludwig II. von Bayern ist bereits viel veröffentlicht worden. Zwischen beiden Persönlichkeiten bestand eine enge persönliche, aber auch von einer gemeinsamen schöpferischen Leidenschaft für die Kunst geprägte Be- ziehung. Richard Wagner war 1864 auf Einladung Ludwigs II. nach München gekommen. Nur sieben Jahre später wurde der Deutsche Allgemeine Richard-Wagner-Verein von Emil Heckei im pfälzischen Mannheim gegründet. Dieser Verein, der ein Vorläufer des heutigen Verbandes ist, hatte sich für die Verwirklichung des Bayreuther Festspielhauses eingesetzt, ebenso wie das Ludwig II. als Mäzen Richard Wagners tat. Ludwig II. ordnete in München Uraufführungen und Privataufführungen von Werken des Komponisten an. Dazu gehören die Uraufführung von „Tristan und lsolde“ im Jahr 1865 und der „Meistersinger von Nürnberg“ drei Jahre später. In diesem Sinne ist München eine Wagner-Stadt und so findet der Internationale Richard Wagner Kongress im Jahr 2021 hier statt.
