Ariadne Auf Naxos: a Study in Transformation Through Contrast and Coalescence
Ariadne auf Naxos: A Study in Transformation through Contrast and Coalescence By Copyright 2015 Etta Fung Submitted to the graduate degree program in Vocal Performance and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulﬁllment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts. ________________________________ Chairperson Julia Broxholm ________________________________ Paul Laird ________________________________ David Alan Street ________________________________ Joyce Castle ________________________________ Michelle Heffner Hayes Date Defended: 5/4/2015 i The Thesis Committee for Etta Fung certifies that this is the approved version of the following thesis: Ariadne auf Naxos: A Study in Transformation through Contrast and Coalescence _______________________________ Chairperson Julia Broxholm Date approved: 5/13/15 ii Abstract Ariadne auf Naxos, by composer Richard Strauss and librettist Hugo von Hofmannsthal, concerns the simultaneous performance of a tragedy and a comedy at a rich man’s house in Vienna, and the conflicts that arise between the two groups. The primary focus of this paper is the character Zerbinetta, a coloratura soprano who is the main performer in the commedia dell’arte troupe. Following consideration of the opera’s historical background, the first segment of this paper examines Zerbinetta’s duet with the young Composer starting from “Nein Herr, so kommt es nicht…” in the Prologue, which reveals her coquettish yet complex character. The second section offers a detailed description of her twelve-minute aria “Großmächtige Prinzessin” in the opera, exploring the show’s various levels of satire. The last segment is an investigation of the differing perspectives of the performers and the audience during Zerbinetta’s tour de force.

NY Philharmonic Opening Nights TV Notes
September 21, 2011 at 7:30 on PBS New York Philharmonic Opening Night The Russian-American composer, Vladimir Dukelsky, led a double life. Under his birth name, Dukelsky, he composed music for the concert hall that was championed by Serge Koussevitzky in Paris, Boston and New York. Under his Americanized name, Vernon Duke, he composed some of the great works in the American Songbook, including "April in Paris" and its counterpart, "Autumn in New York". Autumn in New York means many different things in today's world, among them children returning to school, the wind-down of the baseball season, and the start of a new season for the New York Philharmonic. This year that event will be marked on Wednesday evening, September 21, inaugurating Alan Gilbert's third season as the orchestra's Music Director. And as usual Live From Lincoln Center will be in Avery Fisher Hall with its cameras and microphones to bring the festivities right into your own homes. Maestro Gilbert has assembled a "barn-burner" of a program, beginning with Samuel Barber's School for Scandal Overture and ending with the Intermezzo, Dance of the Seven Veils and Final Scene from Richard Strauss's Salome. In between we'll have more Barber: the dramatic scene for soprano and orchestra "Andromache's Farewell" and music from Wagner's opera Tannhäuser: the Overture and soprano aria, "Dich teure Halle". Guest artist of the evening is the lustrous American soprano, Deborah Voigt, fresh from her triumph this summer at the Glimmerglass Opera Company in the title role in Irving Berlin's Annie Get Your Gun.

Die Schweigsame Frau
RICHARD STRAUSS DIE SCHWEIGSAME FRAU Opera comica in tre atti Prima rappresentazione: Dresda, Staatsoper, 24 VI 1935 Luogo ed epoca: La stanza di Sir Morosus in un sobborgo di Londra, verso il 1780 I personaggi Sir Morosus (B), la sua governante (S), Il barbiere (Bar), Henry Morosus (T), Aminta, sua moglie (S), attori comici: Isotta (S), Carlotta (Ms), Morbio (Bar), Vanuzzi (B), Farfallo (B), attori comici e vicini (coro). Tratta da una commedia di Ben Jonson, Die schweigsame Frau è l'unico frutto della collaborazione di Strauss con Stefan Zweig; altri progetti vennero recisi sul nascere dall'ostracismo decretato dal regime nazista allo scrittore ebreo, e la stessa Schweigsame Frau, incantevole per delicatezza ed umorismo, fu accolta a teatro con grandine di fischi. Strauss medesimo dovette venire in Italia per assistere ad una rappresentazione della sua opera, approdata alla Scala di Milano nel marzo 1936, (direttore Gino Marinuzzi): precocemente esiliata dalle scene, infatti l'opera pagava in terra tedesca il fio delle origini ebraiche del proprio librettista, che determinò un divieto al suo inserimento nelle programmazioni. Strauss raccoglie qui i risultati della distillazione di sonorità avviata con il Rosenkavalier: ritornando all'orchestra rarefatta di Intermezzo, agli improvvisi ripiegamenti cameristici, mentre il canto scioglie morbide linee, sospese in una sintesi perfetta fra la scorrevolezza della parola e la grazia della melodia. 154 Rispetto all'originale di Jonson, Zweig inserì due sensibili modifiche: anzitutto la finta moglie di Morosus non è un giovanotto abile nei travestimenti, ma una donna in carne ed ossa; inoltre questa donna sente pena e rimorso per la beffa architettata, pur con buone intenzioni, ai danni dell'anziano signore.

Many people have helped along the way. Vanessa Agnew was the most wonderful Doktormutter a graduate student could have. Her kindness, wit, and support were matched only by her knowledge, resourcefulness, and incisive critique. She took my work seriously, carefully reading and weighing everything I wrote. It was because of this that I knew my work and ideas were in good hands. Thank you Vannessa, for taking me on as a doctoral rookie, for our countless conversations, your smile during Skype sessions, coffee in Berlin, dinners in Ann Arbor, and the encouragement to make choices that felt right. Many thanks to my committee members, Naomi André, Andreas Gailus, and Julia Hell, who supported the decision to work with the challenging field of opera and gave me the necessary tools to succeed. Their open doors, email accounts, good mood, and guiding feedback made this process a joy. Mostly, I thank them for their faith that I would continue to work and explore as I wrote remotely. Not on my committee, but just as important was Hartmut. So many students have written countless praises of this man. I can only concur, he is simply the best.

A Hero's Work of Peace: Richard Strauss's FRIEDENSTAG
A HERO’S WORK OF PEACE: RICHARD STRAUSS’S FRIEDENSTAG BY RYAN MICHAEL PRENDERGAST THESIS Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Music in Music with a concentration in Musicology in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2015 Urbana, Illinois Adviser: Associate Professor Katherine R. Syer ABSTRACT Richard Strauss’s one-act opera Friedenstag (Day of Peace) has received staunch criticism regarding its overt militaristic content and compositional merits. The opera is one of several works that Strauss composed between 1933 and 1945, when the National Socialists were in power in Germany. Owing to Strauss’s formal involvement with the Third Reich, his artistic and political activities during this period have invited much scrutiny. The context of the opera’s premiere in 1938, just as Germany’s aggressive stance in Europe intensified, has encouraged a range of assessments regarding its preoccupation with war and peace. The opera’s defenders read its dramatic and musical components via lenses of pacifism and resistance to Nazi ideology. Others simply dismiss the opera as platitudinous. Eschewing a strict political stance as an interpretive guide, this thesis instead explores the means by which Strauss pursued more ambiguous and multidimensional levels of meaning in the opera. Specifically, I highlight the ways he infused the dramaturgical and musical landscapes of Friedenstag with burlesque elements. These malleable instances of irony open the opera up to a variety of fresh and fascinating interpretations, illustrating how Friedenstag remains a lynchpin for judiciously appraising Strauss’s artistic and political legacy.
