Ce Théâtre De L'opéra-Comique, Vous Savez À Quel État
REVUE DES DEUX MONDES , 15th July 1882, pp. 453-466. Ce théâtre de l’Opéra-Comique, vous savez à quel état d’abaissement nous le vîmes réduit il y a quelques années. Eh bien! allez maintenant vous y promener par un beau soir des Noces de Figaro [Le Nozze di Figaro ] ou de Joseph et vous m’en direz des nouvelles. Ce que peuvent pourtant l’initiative et la volonté d’un chef habile! Où les autres n’ont connu que la ruine il crée la vie et l’abondance, taille en plein dans le neuf et dans le vieux, évoque, suscite, se recueille et se disperse, en un mot, travaille si bien que la veine qu’on croyait perdue à jamais se retrouve. Les malveillans s’écrient : « C’est un faiseur! » Oui, faiseur de troupes, aptitude singulière d’un homme que tous s’entêtent à n’envisager que par le côté de la chance et de la fortune quand c’est, au contraire, sur sa capacité qu’il faudrait insister. A cette heure que les directions de théâtre jusqu’alors les mieux pourvues voient leurs ensembles se désagréger, il réussit, lui, à se procurer une troupe excellente ; que dis-je? une troupe, il en a deux : la troupe d’opéra comique proprement dit, M. Taskin, M. Fugère, M. Bertin, M. Nicod, Mlle Ducasse, pour jouer le répertoire courant, et la troupe lyrique pour chanter Mozart et Méhul : M. Talazac, M me Carvalho, M me Vauchelet, M lle Van Zandt, M lle Isaac, une âme et une voix, la première aujourd’hui parmi les jeunes et qui déjà serait à l’Opéra si M. -

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. -

Carolyn Kirk Phd Thesis Vol 1
THE VIENNESE VOGUE FOR OPÉRA-COMIQUE 1790-1819 : VOL 1. Carolyn Kirk A Thesis Submitted for the Degree of PhD at the University of St Andrews 1985 Full metadata for this item is available in Research@StAndrews:FullText at: http://research-repository.st-andrews.ac.uk/ Please use this identifier to cite or link to this item: http://hdl.handle.net/10023/7282 This item is protected by original copyright The Viennese vogue for opera—comique 1790-1819 submitted by Carolyn Kirk In fulfilment of the requirements for Ph.D. degree of the University of St. Andrews, November, 1983 ii ABSTRACT In the mid-eighteenth century, Vienna, like other European cities, began to manifest the influence of modern French culture; In 1752, a troupe of French players was appointed to the Austrian court to entertain the aristocracy. Four years later, links were forged • between the Parisian and Viennese stages via Favart who corresponded with Count Durazzo in Vienna and sent opera scores and suggestions about personnel. In 1765 problems with finance and leadership led to dismissal of Vienna's first French troupe but others performed there for shorter periods between .:1765 and 1780. Opera-comique was introduced to Vienna by French players. Occasional performances of opera-comique in German translation took place in Vienna during the 1770s. When, in 1778, the Nationalsingspiel was founded, French opera formed part of the repertoire because of a lack of good German works. A renewed interest in opèra-comique began in about 1790 when fear of revolutionary France and the reigns of Leopold and Franz led to a return of interest in Italian opera at the court theatres, and the virtual disappearance of opêra-comique from its repertoire. -

Catalogue of Compositions
CATALOGUE OF COMPOSITIONS COMPILED BY MADELEINE MILHAUD FROM THE COMPOSER'S NOTEBOOKS AND REVISED BY JANE HOHFELD GALANTE The translator owes a debt of gratitude to Mme. Milhaud for the many hours of assistance, helpful counsel, and gracious hospitality she contributed to the revision of this catalogue. Very special appreciation is also due toR. Wood Massi for his extensive work in verifying and re-ordering data pertaining to the music, to Jean-Franfois Denis for his excellently detailed preparation of the final copy, and to Dr. Katharine M. Warne for her constructive perusal of the proofs and her many invaluable suggestions. I should like to thank the Mills College Department ofMusic for providing research funds and the Mills College Library for giving me unlimited access to the Milhaud collection. I am especially grateful to Eva Konrad Kreshka for her unstinting encouragement and enthusiasm. The careful reader will note some discrepancies between this catalogue, which is based on Milhaud's notebooks, and the printed scores, mostly in regard to exact dates, places ofcomposition, and timing. In the majority of instances, the notebook entry is the one used except where information given on the score adds something ofspecial interest. !.H. G.

Revue Musicale 1908
Saison 2014 | 2015 Uthal Etienne-Nicolas Méhul (1806) Opéra en un acte sur un livret de Jacques Bins de Saint-Victor créé le 17 mai 1806 à l’Opéra Comique de Paris Opéra en version de concert Versailles, Opéra Royal Samedi 30 mai 2015, 20h Revue musicale 1908 Plus de cent ans après la création d’Uthal, la Revue musicale fait paraître la première édition du piano-chant de l’œuvre en supplément à son numéro de mai 1908. Le tout est précédé d’un article musicologique. Réalisé par Etienne Jardin, Palazzetto Bru Zane La Revue Musicale (huitième année) l’Opéra. Non que ses œuvres fussent surtout du genre léger alors à la mode. Au contraire, plusieurs de ces pièces, encore N° 9 - 1er Mai 1908 - pages 295 à 300 que jouées à l’Opéra-Comique, sont, en vérité, Phrosine et Mélidore par exemple, d’assez noirs mélodrames. D’autres, telle Stratonice, ne diffèrent du grand opéra que par l’intercalation de quelques scènes parlées. L’ « Uthal » de Méhul (1806) Quoi qu’il en soit, Méhul, tout-puissant à l’Opéra-Comique, n’était point le maître à l’Opéra, d’où l’antipathie qu’il nourris- Uthal, opéra ossianique ! un pareil titre aujourd’hui ne dirait plus grand’chose s’il n’excitait point, tout simple- sait contre Lesueur devait encore contribuer à le faire écarter. Donc, pour ces raisons, Uthal devait voir le jour à l’Opéra-Co- ment, de faciles railleries. Car ils sont oubliés prodigieusement, ces poèmes du fabuleux Ossian, pseudo-barde mique, où le compositeur venait de donner presque coup sur coup plusieurs pièces d’un genre tout différent : l’Irato, Une calédonien du III ou IVème siècle à qui le trop ingénieux Macpherson s’était appliqué, prétendait-il, à servir de Folie, les Aveugles de Tolède. -

Department of The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada Date DE-6 (2/88) ABSTRACT François-Henri-Joseph Blaze (1784-1857), who published under the pseudonym Castil- Blaze, was an important figure in French musical life during the period of the Bourbon Restoration (1815-1830). In his historical monographs, he was the first writer to address the wider French public to explain to them the history and practical functioning of their major musical institutions. As France's first professional music critic and the author of some 340 articles in the prestigious Journal des débatshetween 1820 and 1832, he created a place for literate writing about music on the front pages of the most respected daily news• paper in France, providing the French public for the first time with a regular account of Parisian musical activities written from a musician's point of view.
