Front Matter Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-87392-5 - Never Sang for Hitler: The Life and Times of Lotte Lehmann, 1888-1976 Michael H. Kater Frontmatter More information Never Sang for Hitler The Life and Times of Lotte Lehmann, 1888–1976 Lotte Lehmann ranks among the most celebrated singers of the twentieth century. She was a favorite of Richard Strauss, and over her lifetime she became the friend of other famous men: Bruno Walter, Arturo Toscanini, and Thomas Mann. She had a famous encounter with Hermann Goring,¨ in which he claimed that he wanted to make her the foremost singer in Nazi Germany. By the time of her final major performance in 1951, she was considered one of the finest singing actresses of all time. Rather than a traditional biography, this book aims to be both a descriptive narrative of Lehmann’s life and a critical analysis of the interconnections of the artist and society. Michael H. Kater describes the varying phases of Lehmann’s life, as well as the sociocultural settings in which she finds herself – whether in the Wilhemine Empire, the First Austrian Republic, Nazi Germany, or the United States. Kater’s use of Lehmann’s personal and other papers reshapes much of what is known about her life and career. Michael H. Kater has studied history, sociology, and music at the Universities of Toronto, Munich, and Heidelberg. Since 1967, he has taught at York University, Toronto, from 1991 to the present as Distinguished Research Professor of History. Kater has served as Visiting Hannah Professor of the History of Medicine at both McMaster University in Hamilton and the University of Toronto. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada, a Guggenheim Fellow, and a Canada Council Senior Killam Fellow and the recipient of the Konrad Adenauer Research Prize of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation. His main research interest is the society, politics, and culture of modern Germany, and he is the author of many books, several of them prize-winning. © Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-87392-5 - Never Sang for Hitler: The Life and Times of Lotte Lehmann, 1888-1976 Michael H.

Kater Frontmatter More information Acknowledgments The number of people I have to thank for helping me write this book is very large, and I cannot possibly list them all by name. First in line are interlibrary- loan librarians at York University, who satisfied my constant craving for books and articles, which arrived from North America and Europe. Without them, this book simply could not have been written. Their names are Mary Lehane, Gladys Fung, and Sandra Snell. This biography, however, is based for the most part on primary documents, as they became available for first-time use in the late 1980s and during the 1990s. Those documents contrasted sharply with three preexisting biographies and Lehmann’s own memoirs of 1937, which were of only limited value. In the former category, Beaumont Glass’s Lotte Lehmann: A Life in Opera and Song (Santa Barbara, 1988) is the work of a former piano coach who had assisted Lehmann in her California teaching, and while on the basis of, at that time, limited evidence it gets many facts right, it is in essence a product of hagiography.

  • Richard Strauss
    RICHARD STRAUSS: The Origin, Dissemination and Reception of his Mozart Renaissance Raymond lIolden I I \,--,~/ PhD Goldsmiths' College University of London 1 Abstract Richard Strauss holds an important place in the history of performance. Of the major musical figures active during the second half of the nineteenth and the first half of the twentieth centuries, his endeavours as a Mozartian are of particular importance. Strauss' special interest in the works of Mozart was seminal to both his performance and compositional aesthetics. As a result of this affinity, Strauss consciously set out to initiate a Mozart renaissance that embodied a precise set of principles and reforms. It was these principles and reforms, described as literalist, rather than those of artists such .as Gustav Mahler, who edited Mozart's works both musically and dramatically, that found further expression in the readings of, amongst others, Otto Klemperer, George Szell, Sir John Pritchard and Wolfgang Sawallisch. It is the aim of this dissertation to investigate Strauss' activities as a Mozartian and to assess his influence on subsequent generations of Mozart conductors. Accordingly, the dissertation is divided into an Introduction, five chapters, a Conclusion and thirteen appendices. These consider both the nature and ramifications of Strauss' reforms and performance aesthetic. Within this framework, the breadth of his renaissance; his choice of edition, cuts and revisions; his use of tempo, as a means of structural delineation; his activities with respect to the

Translating, Adapting, And Performing Opera In Eighteenth-Century Cosmopolitan Europe: Lorenzo Da Ponte At The King's Theatre Abstract This dissertation examines music and text circulation in cosmopolitan Europe during the last decades of the eighteenth century through the lens of translation. London in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries was the largest center of Italian operatic performance outside of Italy. All performances sung at the King’s Theatre, London, were sung in Italian, the presumed language of opera, even when the works had been originated in other languages. This created the need for a culture of translation and adaptation of works from abroad, making them suitable for a London audience partially through the retention of foreignness and partially through domesticating practices. In the 1790s, a period of political tension between Britain and post-Revolution France, four French operas were presented at the King's Theatre in Italian translations attributed to the poet Lorenzo Da Ponte (1749-1838): Gluck's Iphig�nie en Tauride, Gr�try's Z�mire et Azor, Monsigny's La belle Ars�ne, and Sacchini's Arvire et �v�lina.

Despite an evident desire on the part of some Weimar directors and designers of Die Meistersinger to draw on staging innovations of the time, productions of the work from this period are characterised by scenic conservatism and repetition of familiar naturalistic imagery.

  • Exhibition Program 2021
    Exhibition Program EXHIBITIONS AT THE JEWISH MUSEUM VIENNA PALAIS ESKELES/ DOROTHEERGASSE 11 Everyman’s Jews: 100 Years Salzburg Festival July 14, 2021 to November 21, 2021 After the pogrom in the Middle Ages and surge in anti-Semitism, a new Jewish community in Salzburg was established with the arrival of Jews at the end of the 19th century. During the interwar period, this state was torn between Catholicism and German nationalism, which demonstrates how the phenomenon of anti-Semitism without Jews was particularly unique. Under these conditions, the Salzburg Festival was founded in 1920 as a Catholic-Neo- Baroque spectacle. Many Viennese Jews promoted the revival of the idea of Austria on the stage. In addition to the expected tradition, there were also surprisingly many avant-garde artists on the program, including the dance productions of the stage architect Oscar Strnad. Even a work by Arnold Schönberg was performed in 1928. During Austrofascism, a politicization was carried out, as Austria wanted to present itself as a better German state. Arturo Toscanini, who came from Bayreuth, conducted Wagner operas, which were staged by the Jewish director Lothar Wallerstein. The "1000 mark barrier" enacted by the German Reich government was directed as an economic sanction, especially against Salzburg. The festival now increasingly attracted an international audience. In 1938, the festival was ideologically reinterpreted according to the "racial theory" of the Nazis, which meant that Jews were no longer wanted and consequently expelled. In the postwar period, only a few Jewish protagonists were working as directors and performers. Many protagonists who excelled during the Nazi period, however, were able to continue their careers.

Trotzdem sei es gewagt, den Gedanken eines dem Frieden, der Kunst, der Freude geweihten Salzburger Festspielhauses auszusprechen. Wer an die Macht der Kunst glaubt, wer vertraut, daß allein die Werke und Werte der Kultur das Bleibende sind im ewigen Wechsel der Dinge, der komme zu uns und helfe mit, im Zeichen Mozarts eine Stätte zu schaffen, an der, wenn einst die nachtdunklen Wolken des Weltverhängnisses verflogen sind, die Kunstfreunde aller Länder in festlicher Freude sich wiederfinden.“ So sprach ein Aufruf, mit dem die im Jahre 1917 gegründete „Salzburger Festspielhaus- Gemeinde“ an die Öffentlichkeit trat. Mag es ein kühnes Unterfangen gewesen sein, im Zeichen des Krieges ein Zeichen des Friedens zu setzen – das Echo, das dem Rufe ward, erklang von tausend Seiten. Vielleicht, weil etwas Erhebendes, etwas Beglückendes darin lag, daß in aller Not der Plan aufflammte, sich aus der drückenden Schwere des Alltags in das befreiende Reich der Kunst zu retten und in den Sinnbildern des Dramas, in den Geheimnissen der Musik neue Zuversicht zu suchen. Auch reichte der Plan festlichen Spiels zu Salzburg viele Jahrzehnte zurück. Erstmals 1842 bei der Enthüllung von Salzburgs Mozartdenkmal ausgesprochen, nahm ihn Richard Wagner auf, der von einem den Meisterwerken des gesamtdeutschen Kunstschaffens gewidmeten Salzburger Festspielhaus träumte, bevor ihn die Munifizenz des bayrischen Königshauses nach Bayreuth rief. Hans Richter entflammte die Idee von neuem bei der Hundertjahrfeier des „Don Giovanni“ im Jahre 1887.
