Spring 2008-Final
Wagneriana Endloser Grimm! Ewiger Gram! Spring 2008 Der Traurigste bin ich von Allen! Volume 5, Number 2 —Die Walküre From the Editor ven though the much-awaited concert of the Wagner/Liszt piano transcriptions was canceled due to un- avoidable circumstances (the musicians were unable to obtain a visa), the winter and early spring months E brought several stimulating events. On January 19, Vice President Erika Reitshamer gave an audiovisual presentation on Wagner’s early opera Das Liebesverbot. This well-attended event was augmented by photocopies of extended excerpts from the libretto, with frequently amusing commentary by the presenter on Wagner’s influences and foreshadowings of his future operas. February 23 brought the excellent talk by Professor Hans Rudolf Vaget of Smith College. Professor Vaget spoke about Wagner’s English biographer Ernest Newman, whose seminal four-volume book The Life of Richard Wagner has never been surpassed in its thoroughness. In the early part of the twentieth century, the music critic Newman served as a counterbalance to his fellow countryman Houston Stewart Chamberlain, Wagner’s son-in-law and an ardent Nazi. The talk also included aspects of Thomas Mann’s fictional writings on Wagner, as well as the philoso- pher and musician Theodor Adorno and Wagner’s other son-in-law Franz Beidler. On April 19 we learned the extent of Buddhism’s influence on Wagner’s operas thanks to a lecture and book signing by Paul Schofield, author of The Redeemer Reborn: Parsifal as the Fifth Opera of Wagner’s Ring. The audience members were so interested in what Mr. -
WAGNER and the VOLSUNGS None of Wagner’S Works Is More Closely Linked with Old Norse, and More Especially Old Icelandic, Culture
WAGNER AND THE VOLSUNGS None of Wagner’s works is more closely linked with Old Norse, and more especially Old Icelandic, culture. It would be carrying coals to Newcastle if I tried to go further into the significance of the incom- parable eddic poems. I will just mention that on my first visit to Iceland I was allowed to gaze on the actual manuscript, even to leaf through it . It is worth noting that Richard Wagner possessed in his library the same Icelandic–German dictionary that is still used today. His copy bears clear signs of use. This also bears witness to his search for the meaning and essence of the genuinely mythical, its very foundation.

Accidental Tourism in Wagner's Bayreuth
1 Accidental Tourism in Wagner’s Bayreuth An Analysis of Visitors’ Motivations and Experiences in Wagner’s Bayreuth. Myrto Moraitou Master Thesis Dissertation Accidental Tourism in Wagner’s Bayreuth An analysis of visitors’ motivations and experiences in Wagner’s Bayreuth Master Thesis Name: Myrto Moraitou Student number: 433480 Supervisor: Prof. Dr. S. L. Reijnders Date: June 12th 2018 Erasmus School of History, Culture and Communication Arts, Culture and Society Erasmus University Rotterdam Accidental Tourism in Wagner’s Bayreuth An analysis of visitors’ motivations and experiences in Wagner’s Bayreuth Abstract This research offers an analysis of the motivations and experiences of visitors in Wagner’s Bayreuth. Wagner’s Bayreuth is a great example of music tourism as it is maybe the first site where music lovers from around the world visited in order to listen and experience classical music. Taking as a starting point the theories developed on music tourism studies on sites related to popular music such as the ones of Connell and Gibson (2003), Gibson and Connell (2005, 2007) and Bolderman and Reijnders (2016), this research will try to identify whether these theories apply also on the classical music field, based on the example of Wagner’s Bayreuth. This paper addresses four visitor elements; the motivation, the expectation, the experience and evaluation of the above. The personal ‘identity’ of each visitor plays also an important role on their motives and evaluation procedure of the experience, as it defines the relationship between the visitor and the place and also the way of evaluation through their personal story. Through the analysis of these elements, using a qualitative approach with in depth interviews based on these elements, the findings suggest that there are some similarities in the behavior of the visitors between Wagner’s Bayreuth and previous researches on popular culture sites. -

Janice Baird - Dramatic Soprano Färberin - Die Frau Ohne Schatten - Rôle Debut
Janice Baird - Dramatic Soprano Färberin - die Frau ohne Schatten - rôle debut Une leçon d'humanisme •Janice BAIRD est une merveilleuse actrice suivant dans une ligne de chant tendu tous les méandres de l'évolution psychologique de la femme du teinturier.

Regisseur Joel, der Hofmannsthals Geschichte im zweckmäßigen Dekor von Ezio Frigerio penibel und ohne falschen Firlefanz erzählt, gönnt sich im Färberhaus die einzige Extravaganz, deren Effekt doch stupend ist: Die frustrierte Frau sitzt vor dem Fernseher und zappt lustlos von Programm zu Programm. ... der dramatische Impetus der Komposition - gegen Ende des zweiten Akts zumal - wirkt unausweichlich.
