In unexpected corners of Brussels, they will catch you unawares with mini-concerts that will combine classical music and dynamic DJ sets, or jazz beats and dance. They will turn a great opera into a light-hearted musical, and a historic concert hall into a film set.

  • Branding Brussels Musically: Cosmopolitanism and Nationalism in the Interwar Years
    BRANDING BRUSSELS MUSICALLY: COSMOPOLITANISM AND NATIONALISM IN THE INTERWAR YEARS Catherine A. Hughes A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Music. Chapel Hill 2015 Approved by: Annegret Fauser Mark Evan Bonds Valérie Dufour John L. Nádas Chérie Rivers Ndaliko © 2015 Catherine A. Hughes ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Catherine A. Hughes: Branding Brussels Musically: Cosmopolitanism and Nationalism in the Interwar Years (Under the direction of Annegret Fauser) In Belgium, constructions of musical life in Brussels between the World Wars varied widely: some viewed the city as a major musical center, and others framed the city as a peripheral space to its larger neighbors. Both views, however, based the city’s identity on an intense interest in new foreign music, with works by Belgian composers taking a secondary importance. This modern and cosmopolitan concept of cultural achievement offered an alternative to the more traditional model of national identity as being built solely on creations by native artists sharing local traditions. Such a model eluded a country with competing ethnic groups: the Francophone Walloons in the south and the Flemish in the north. Openness to a wide variety of music became a hallmark of the capital’s cultural identity. As a result, the forces of Belgian cultural identity, patriotism, internationalism, interest in foreign culture, and conflicting views of modern music complicated the construction of Belgian cultural identity through music. By focusing on the work of the four central people in the network of organizers, patrons, and performers that sustained the art music culture in the Belgian capital, this dissertation challenges assumptions about construction of musical culture.

  • Performer Biographies
    TOSCA Performer Biographies Making both her San Francisco Opera and role debuts as Tosca, soprano Carmen Giannattasio first received international notice after a first-place win at the 2002 Operalia competition in Paris, followed in 2007 by a tour-de-force performance as Violetta in Scottish Opera’s production of La Traviata. As equally comfortable in bel canto as she is in Verdi and Puccini, she has distinguished herself in the title role of Norma at Munich’s Bavarian State Opera, Violetta at the Metropolitan Opera, Mimì in La Bohème at the Deutsche Oper Berlin, Alice Ford in Falstaff at Teatro alla Scala and Vienna State Opera, Leonora in Il Trovatore at Vienna State Opera, and Nedda in Pagliacci at Dresden’s Semperoper and the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, among other roles. Upcoming engagements include Hélène in Les Vêpres Siciliennes at the Bavarian State Opera, Margherita in Mefistofele at the Bavarian State Opera and Chorégies d'Orange, and Amalia in I Masnadieri at the Opéra de Monte-Carlo. Tenor Brian Jagde (Mario Cavaradossi) made his San Francisco Opera debut in 2010 as Joe in La Fanciulla del West and most recently returned to the Company as Calaf in Turandot, Radames in Aida, Don José in Carmen, and Pinkerton in Madama Butterfly. Last season, Jagde made role debuts as Maurizio in Adriana Lecouvreur at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden and Froh in Das Rheingold in his first appearance with the New York Philharmonic.

  • Front Matter
    Cambridge University Press 978-1-108-48161-8 — Carmen Abroad Edited by Richard Langham Smith , Clair Rowden Frontmatter More Information Carmen Abroad From the ‘old world’ to the ‘new’ and back again, this transnational history of the performance and reception of Bizet’s Carmen – whose subject has become a modern myth and its heroine a symbol – provides new understanding of the opera’s enduring yet ever-evolving and resituated presence and popularity. This book examines three stages of cultural transfer: the opera’s establishment in the repertoire; its performance, translation, adaptation and appropriation in Europe, the Americas and Australia; and its cultural ‘work’ in Soviet Russia, in Japan in the era of Westernisation, in southern, regionalist France and in Carmen’s ‘homeland’, Spain. As the volume reveals the ways in which Bizet’s opera swiftly travelled the globe from its Parisian premiere, readers will understand how the story, the music, the staging and the singers appealed to audiences in diverse geographical, artistic and political contexts. richard langham smith is a Research Professor at the Royal College of Music, London. He edited Carmen for Edition Peters and his translation of the libretto can be found in the Overture Opera Guide. With Cambridge University Press, he is the author of the Cambridge Opera Handbook for Debussy’s Pelléas et Mélisande and the editor of Debussy Studies. In 1995 he was made Chevalier de l’ordre des arts et des lettres for services to French culture and music. clair rowden is a Reader in Musicology at Cardiff University.

For this thesis, I have drawn the Italian libretto texts from the website “Libretti d’opera italiani” (http://www.librettidopera.it/), and the English translation of these librettos from Dmitry Murashev’s website (http://www.murashev.com/opera/). The one exception is Musetta’s aria, which was translated by Aaron Green (http://classicalmusic.about.com/od/classicalmusictips/qt/quando-Men-Vo-Lyrics-And-Text- Translation.htm). Although the translations are drawn from Murashev and Green, I have modified some of them to ensure that they are accurate and literal translations of the Italian text.
