    Operetta After the Habsburg Empire by Ulrike Petersen a Dissertation

    Operetta after the Habsburg Empire by Ulrike Petersen A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Music in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in Charge: Professor Richard Taruskin, Chair Professor Mary Ann Smart Professor Elaine Tennant Spring 2013 © 2013 Ulrike Petersen All Rights Reserved Abstract Operetta after the Habsburg Empire by Ulrike Petersen Doctor of Philosophy in Music University of California, Berkeley Professor Richard Taruskin, Chair This thesis discusses the political, social, and cultural impact of operetta in Vienna after the collapse of the Habsburg Empire. As an alternative to the prevailing literature, which has approached this form of musical theater mostly through broad surveys and detailed studies of a handful of well‐known masterpieces, my dissertation presents a montage of loosely connected, previously unconsidered case studies. Each chapter examines one or two highly significant, but radically unfamiliar, moments in the history of operetta during Austria’s five successive political eras in the first half of the twentieth century. Exploring operetta’s importance for the image of Vienna, these vignettes aim to supply new glimpses not only of a seemingly obsolete art form but also of the urban and cultural life of which it was a part. My stories evolve around the following works: Der Millionenonkel (1913), Austria’s first feature‐length motion picture, a collage of the most successful stage roles of a celebrated

    20 February 2018 City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra’s Debussy Festival Curated by Mirga Gražinytė-Tyla 16 – 25 March 2018 In March 2018, the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra (CBSO) presents the Debussy Festival, a major celebration of the composer’s work across two weekends, to mark the centenary of his death. The festival is the largest-scale artistic collaboration to-date between the CBSO, Town Hall Symphony Hall, Birmingham Contemporary Music Group (BCMG), Royal Birmingham Conservatoire, University of Birmingham, Ikon Gallery and The Electric Cinema. The Debussy Festival has been conceived by CBSO Music Director Mirga Gražinytė-Tyla, inspired by the composer’s search for beauty, his vision and influences, and the music he inspired. The festival includes all of Debussy’s major works, with complementary pieces by composers with a strong connection to Debussy’s music and world premieres by contemporary composers who have been inspired by his work. The festival – the largest event of its kind in the country - is centred around eight concerts at Symphony Hall, Birmingham. There will also be a series of chamber music concerts at CBSO Centre from CBSO musicians and Royal Birmingham Conservatoire musicians, who will also perform Debussy piano music and songs in the Conservatoire’s new recital hall. Concerts are themed to the different facets of Debussy’s work, highlighting his versatility as a composer In addition to concerts, the festival also encompasses film, free talks and a Debussy ‘Pianoathon’ for the general public to take part in over two days at Birmingham New Street Station. Tickets are available for individual concerts, or festival passes are available.

    ABSTRACT Developments in Viennese Operetta in Johann

    ABSTRACT Developments in Viennese Operetta in Johann Strauss, Franz Lehár, and Robert Stolz Joanie Brittingham. M.M. Thesis Chairperson: Laurel E. Zeiss, Ph.D. The first immensely popular composer of Viennese operetta was Johann Strauss. Later composers, including Franz Lehár and Robert Stolz, became famous and wealthy for continuing the traditions of the genre as codified by Strauss. The most notable works of these composers either became part of the standard repertory or are considered historically important for the development of light opera and musical theatre in some way. Therefore, I studied the most important elements of the genre, namely the waltz, exoticism, and local color, and compared how each composer used these common building blocks in their most successful operettas.
