  • Peter Pan; Or, the Boy Who Would Not Grow Up
    Peter Pan; or, The Boy Who Would Not Grow Up J. M. Barrie THE BOY WHO WOULD NOT GROW UP by J M BARRIE Produced at the Duke of York‘s Theatre on December 27, 1904. The play ran for 145 performances. TO THE FIVE A DEDICATION Some disquieting confessions must be made in printing at last the play of Peter Pan; among them this, that I have no recollection of having written it. Of that, however, anon. What I want to do first is to give Peter to the Five without whom he never would have existed. I hope, my dear sirs, that in memory of what we have been to each other you will accept this dedication with your friend‘s love. The play of Peter is streaky with you still, though none may see this save ourselves.A score of Acts had to be left out, and you were in them all.We first brought Peter down, didn‘t we, with a blunt-headed arrow in Kensington Gardens? I seem to remember that we believed we had killed him, though he was only winded, and that after a spasm of exultation in our prowess the more soft hearted among us wept and all of us thought of the police.There was not one of you who would not have sworn as an eye-witness to this occurrence; no doubt I was abetting, but you used to provide corroboration that was never given to you by me. As for myself, I suppose I always knew that I made Peter by rubbing the five of you violently together, as savages with two sticks produce a flame.

  • 14. July 2021 Jewish Museum Vienna Opens Exhibition Jedermanns Juden. 100 Jahre
    Press Release of the 2021 Salzburg Festival Jewish Museum Vienna Opens Exhibition Jedermanns Juden. 100 Jahre Salzburger Festspiele Opening of the exhibition Jedermanns Juden. 100 Jahre Salzburger Festspiele. Photos: Barbara Nidetzky (SF, 14 July 2021) The Jewish Museum Vienna has opened its new exhibition, Jedermanns Juden. 100 Jahre Salzburger Festspiele (Jedermann’s Jews. The Salzburg Festival at 100). The show is dedicated to a retrospective of 100 years of Salzburg Festival history and Jewish participation in the world’s most important classical music and performing arts festival. Director and curator Danielle Spera welcomed the assembled guests to the opening of the exhibition: “Max Reinhardt left Europe forever in 1937. He wrote to the ruling Nazis: ‘The decision to irrevocably give up the Deutsches Theater was naturally not an easy one. With my ownership, I lose not only the fruits of 37 years of work, but I am also losing the soil I have nurtured all my life and from which I myself grew. I am losing my homeland.’” She emphasized how Jewish protagonists shaped the early years of the Festival, pointing out not only the founding fathers Max Reinhardt and Hugo von Hofmannsthal, but also Berta Zuckerkandl’s contributions. Curators Marcus G. Patka and Sabine Fellner provided an overview of the exhibition in their speeches. The guests were also welcomed by Andreas Fleischmann, Chairman of the Board of the Raiffeisenlandsbank NÖ-Wien AG and Michael Spiss, Raiffeisen Capital Management. Michael Heltau read from Max Reinhardt’s memoirs of the Salzburg Festival. In her remarks, the President of the Salzburg Festival, Helga Rabl-Stadler, emphasized: “The Salzburg Festival is grateful to the Jewish Museum Vienna for the important contribution this exhibition makes to the Festival’s centenary.
