It has been accepted for inclusion in Honors Theses by an authorized administrator of Scholarly Commons @ Ouachita. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Gaston Leroux's 1911 novel, The Phantom of the Opera, has a considerable number of allusions, some of which are accessible to modern American audiences, like references to Romeo and Juilet. Many of the references, however, are very specific to the operatic world or to other somewhat obscure fields. Knowledge of these allusions would greatly enhance the experience of readers of the novel, and would also contribute to their ability to interpret it. Thus my thesis aims to be helpful to those who read The Phantom of the Opera by providing a set of notes, as it were, to explain the allusions, with an emphasis on the extended allusion of the Palais Garnier and the historical models for the heroine, Christine Daae. Notes on Translations At the time of this writing, three English translations are commercially available of The Phantom of the Opera.

  • The Reception of Herculanum in the Contemporary Press
    The reception of Herculanum in the contemporary press Gunther Braam How can the success of an opera in its own time be examined and studied? Quite simply, by working out the number of performances and the total amount of receipts generated, then by creating – and assess - ing – the most extensive dossier possible of the reviews which appeared in the contemporary press. herculanum : from playbill to box office With regard to the number of performances, the Journal de l’Opéra , today held in the Bibliothèque Nationale de France, is fortunately at our dis - posal. Nevertheless, this needs to be analysed carefully, not overlooking the fact that the presence of an opera in the repertory might well result from reasons other than artistic ones, such as the departure of a direct- or, those connected with the singers entrusted with the leading roles, the destruction of scenery (often as a result of fires), for political reasons or for all kinds of other possibilities. Examples which could be mentioned include Tannhäuser by Wagner (1861), or – why not also – the less well- known La Nonne sanglante by Gounod (1854): far from being unsuccess - ful in terms of audience levels, these two operas were withdrawn after three performances for Tannhäuser , and eleven for La Nonne sanglant e; the average receipts for the two operas were respectively 8,890 and 6,140 francs (in comparison, the receipts for a performance of Les Huguenots 77 félicien david: herculanum in 1859, typically ranged between 6,000 and 7,000 francs).

Crazy in love with Marie, the young peasant Tonio engages in the battalion to see her every day. When the Marquise of Berkenfield reveals the true identity of Mary, who is her daughter, the young woman could be separated forever from Tonio. Acclaimed by the lyric press, South African soprano Pretty Yende returns to the stage of the Met opposite the tenor Javier Camarena for an opera of great vocal virtuosity under the baton of Enrique Mazzola. The alchemist Donizetti's expertise once again acts with this unique blend of melancholy and joy. Tenor Javier Camarena and soprano Pretty Yende team up for a feast of bel canto vocal fireworks—including the show-stopping tenor aria “Ah! Mes amis … Pour mon âme,” with its nine high Cs. Alessandro Corbelli and Maurizio Muraro trade off as the comic Sergeant Sulpice, with mezzo-soprano Stephanie Blythe as the outlandish Marquise of Berkenfield. And in an exciting piece of casting, stage and screen icon Kathleen Turner makes her Met debut in the speaking role of the Duchess of Krakenthorp. Enrique Mazzola conducts.

  • JOS-075-1-2018-007 Child Prodigy
    From the Bel Canto Stage to Reality TV: A Musicological View of Opera’s Child Prodigy Problem Peter Mondelli very few months, a young singer, usually a young woman, takes the stage in front of network TV cameras and sings. Sometimes she sings Puccini, sometimes Rossini, rarely Verdi or Wagner. She receives praise from some well meaning but uninformed adult Ejudge, and then the social media frenzy begins. Aunts and uncles start sharing videos, leaving comments about how talented this young woman is. A torrent of blog posts and articles follow shortly thereafter. The most optimistic say that we in the opera world should use this publicity as a means to an end, to show the world at large what real opera is—without ever explaining how. Peter Mondelli The sentiment that seems to prevail, though, is that this performance does not count. This is not real opera. Opera was never meant to be sung by such a voice, at such an age, and under such conditions. Two years ago, Laura Bretan’s performance of Puccini’s “Nessun dorma” on America’s Got Talent evoked the usual responses.1 Claudia Friedlander responded admirably, explaining that there are basic physiological facts that keep operatic child prodigies at a distance from vocally mature singers.2 More common, however, are poorly researched posts like the one on the “Prosporo” blog run by The Economist.3 Dubious claims abound—Jenny Lind, for exam- ple, hardly retired from singing as the post claims at age twenty-nine, the year before P. T. Barnum invited her to tour North America.

  • Fiche AC Gounod.Qxd
    Les fiches pédagogiques - Compositeur CHARLES GOUNOD(1818 - 1893)hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Il naît à Paris le 17 juin 1818. Issu d’une famille d’artistes (père peintre et mère pro- fesseur de piano) il est attiré assez jeune vers ces matières. Après avoir obtenu son baccalauréat en 1835 , il décide de devenir musicien malgré les réticences de sa mère. A partir de 1838, il poursuit des études au conservatoire et obtient le premier Grand prix de Rome l’année suivante. Accompagné d’Hector le Fuel (architecte), il arrive à Rome le 27 janvier 1840 où la Villa Médicis est dirigée par Jean-Auguste- Dominique Ingres. Il se lie avec la sœur de Félix Mendelssohn qui lui fait découvrir les romantiques allemands. Il écrit ses premières mélodies en 1842, notamment sa Messe de Rome et un Requiem. En 1843, après un détour par Vienne, Berlin ou en- core Leipzig, il est de retour à Paris et dirige la musique à l’église des Missions étrangères jusqu’en 1848, date à laquelle cesse sa vocation religieuse. Soutenu par l’influente Pauline Viardot, il obtient une commande de l’Opéra de Paris : Sapho. La création de l’opéra le 16 avril 1851 ne fait pas grand bruit et sa reprise à Londres le 8 août est catastrophique. En revanche ses mélodies et sa musique chorale ren- contre un certain succès. Le 20 avril 1852, Gounod épouse Anna Zimmerman et à la mort de son beau-père, s'installe dans une magnifique demeure à St Cloud. En 1858, sa mère disparait alors que le succès à l'opéra arrive avec Le Médecin malgré lui (1858) et Faust (1859) où il se montre d'une sensualité délicate et émouvante et où il révèle un sens théatral évident.

  • Belisario Tragedia Lirica in Tre Parti Di Salvadore Cammarano Musica Di Gaetano Donizetti Nuova Edizione Riveduta Sull’Autografo Di Ottavio Sbragia
    Belisario Tragedia lirica in tre parti di Salvadore Cammarano Musica di Gaetano Donizetti Nuova edizione riveduta sull’autografo di Ottavio Sbragia COMUNICATO Quarantadue anni separano l’ultima rappresentazione di Belisario, sulle tavole del palcoscenico del Teatro Donizetti nel 1970, in occasione del Festival autunnale dell’opera lirica “Teatro delle novità”, dall’attuale riproposizione nell’ambito della settima edizione del Bergamo Musica Festival Gaetano Donizetti, a cura della Fondazione Donizetti. Precedenti quello del 1970, soltanto due allestimenti dello stesso titolo, risalenti rispettivamente al 1837 e al 1844. La “prima” al Donizetti, allora Teatro Riccardi, di Belisario assume toni particolarmente significativi per la Città e per lo stesso compositore. Innanzitutto perché l’opera calca le scene del maggior Teatro cittadino nell’agosto del 1837, in occasione dell’annuale Stagione di Fiera, quindi durante la stagione successiva a quella della “primissima” dell’opera stessa, avvenuta al Teatro La Fenice di Venezia il 4 febbraio del 1836; secondariamente perché Belisario è la prima opera donizettiana ad essere rappresentata al Riccardi, mentre la musica del compositore è regolarmente presente nei cartelloni del Teatro Sociale di Città Alta fin dal 1830. Dopo un “anno di magra”, quel 1836 segnato in tutto il Nord Italia da una terribile epidemia di peste, nel 1837 la Stagione di Fiera del Riccardi, affidata alle cure dell’Impresa di Giovanni Battista Bonola, promette esiti d’alto livello. «Il languore della Fiera del passato anno, cagionato dall’inallora dominante morbo, e dalla conseguente chiusura del Teatro – relaziona il 2 aprile la Congregazione Municipale al Governo milanese – ha fatto sentire un maggior bisogno di dare un impulso al prosperamento di essa nell’anno corrente procurando un maggior concorso di Forastieri, allettandoli con uno spettacolo Teatrale di Opera e Ballo conveniente alla circostanza […]».
