DIE LIEBE DER DANAE July 29 – August 7, 2011
DIE LIEBE DER DANAE July 29 – August 7, 2011 the richard b. fisher center for the performing arts at bard college About The Richard B. Fisher Center for the Performing Arts at Bard College The Richard B. Fisher Center for the Performing Arts, an environment for world-class artistic presentation in the Hudson Valley, was designed by Frank Gehry and opened in 2003. Risk-taking performances and provocative programs take place in the 800-seat Sosnoff Theater, a proscenium-arch space; and in the 220-seat Theater Two, which features a flexible seating configuration. The Center is home to Bard College’s Theater and Dance Programs, and host to two annual summer festivals: SummerScape, which offers opera, dance, theater, operetta, film, and cabaret; and the Bard Music Festival, which celebrates its 22nd year in August, with “Sibelius and His World.” The Center bears the name of the late Richard B. Fisher, the former chair of Bard College’s Board of Trustees. This magnificent building is a tribute to his vision and leadership. The outstanding arts events that take place here would not be possible without the contributions made by the Friends of the Fisher Center. We are grateful for their support and welcome all donations. ©2011 Bard College. All rights reserved. Cover Danae and the Shower of Gold (krater detail), ca. 430 bce.

S. 2 von 20 Gunter E. Grimm Faust-Opern Eine Skizze Das Faust-Thema stellt ein hervorragendes Beispiel dar, wie ein Stoff, der den dominanten Normen seines Entstehungszeitalters entspricht, bei seiner Wande- rung durch verschiedene Epochen sich den jeweils herrschenden mentalen Para- digmen anpasst. Dabei verändert der ursprüngliche Stoff sowohl seinen Charakter als auch seine Aussage. Schaubild der Faust-Opern Die „Historia von Dr. Faust“ von 1587 entspricht ganz dem christlichen Geist der Epoche. Doktor Faust gilt als Inbegriff eines hybriden Gelehrten, der über das dem Menschen zugestandene Maß an Gelehrsamkeit und Erkenntnis hinausstrebt und zu diesem Zweck einen Pakt mit dem Teufel abschließt. Er wollte, wie es im Volksbuch heißt, „alle Gründ am Himmel vnd Erden erforschen / dann sein Für- GUNTER E. GRIMM: Faust-Opern. Eine Skizze.

Laisse pleuvoir mille feux éclatants. Sento la brezza mattutina che scivola nell’aria Je sens glisser dans l’air la brise matinale; Un puro soffio spira dal mio petto ardente. De ma poitrine ardente un souffle pur s’exhale. Ecco intorno a me risvegliarsi gli uccelli, J’entends autour de moi le réveil des oiseaux, Il lungo mormorio delle piante e delle acque… Le long bruissement des plantes et des eaux… Dolce è vivere in seno a queste solitudini, Oh! qu’il est doux de vivre au fond des solitu- Lontano dai conflitti e dalle moltitudini! des, Loin de la lutte humaine et loin des multitudes! (Rumori lontani, di vita campestre e di guerra, cominciano a turbare la quiete della scena pastorale.)

Der Doktor Faust
HEINRICH HEINE Der Doktor Faust Ein Tanzpoem, nebst kuriosen Berichten über Teufel, Hexen und Dichtkunst Einleitende Bemerkung Herr Lumley, Direktor des Theaters Ihrer Majestät der Königin zu London, forderte mich auf, für seine Bühne ein Ballett zu schreiben, und diesem Wunsche willfahrend dichtete ich das nachfolgende Poem. Ich nannte es: Doktor Faust, ein Tanzpoem. Doch dieses Tanzpoem ist nicht zur Aufführung gekommen, teils weil in der Saison, für welche dasselbe angekündigt war, der beispiellose Sukzeß der sogenannten schwedischen Nachtigall jede andere Exhibition im Theater der Königin überflüssig machte, teils auch weil der Ballettmeister aus Esprit de Corps de Ballet, hemmend und säumend, alle möglichen Böswilligkeiten ausübte. Dieser Ballettmeister hielt es nämlich für eine gefährliche Neuerung, daß einmal ein Dichter das Libretto eines Balletts gedichtet hatte, während doch solche Produkte bisher immer nur von Tanzaffen seiner Art, in Kollaboration mit irgendeiner dürftigen Literatenseele, geliefert worden. Armer Faust! armer Hexenmeister! so mußtest du auf die Ehre verzichten, vor der großen Victoria von England deine Schwarzkünste zu produzieren! Wird es dir in deiner Heimat besser gehn? Sollte gegen mein Erwarten irgendeine deutsche Bühne ihren guten Geschmack dadurch bekunden, daß sie mein Opus zur Aufführung brächte, so bitte ich die hochlöbliche Direktion bei dieser Gelegenheit auch nicht zu versäumen, das dem Autor gebührende Honorar, durch Vermittlung der Buchhandlung von Hoffmann und Campe zu Hamburg, mir oder meinen Rechtsnachfolgern zukommen zu lassen. Ich halte es nicht für überflüssig zu bemerken, daß ich, um das Eigentumsrecht meines Balletts in Frankreich zu sichern, bereits eine französische Übersetzung drucken ließ und die gesetzlich vorgeschriebene Anzahl Exemplare an gehörigem Orte deponiert habe. -
Goethe's Faust in Music
Music in Goethe’s Faust: INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE Goethe’s Faust in Music CALL FOR PAPERS 20-22 April 2012 Music Department and School of Modern Languages, Literatures and Culture NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF IRELAND MAYNOOTH Music in Goethe’s Faust: Goethe’s Faust in Music Keynote Speakers Professor Nicholas Boyle (Schroeder Professor of German, Magdalene College Cambridge) Professor Thomas Bauman (Professor of Musicology, Northwestern University, USA) Professor Osman Durrani (Professor of German, University of Kent) The name ‘Faust’ and the adjective ‘faustian’ are as emblematic of the supra-intellectual as they are of the tragic. Such concepts haunt German cultural life and have prompted countless discussions in philosophy, literature, the visual arts and music, especially in the second half of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Through this a broad trajectory can be traced from Zelter’s colourful record of the first setting of Goethe’s Faust - composed by prince and rehearsed by a royal cast in Berlin in 1816 - to Alfred Schnittke’s Faust opera of 1993. Between these two realizations, a floodtide of musical interpretations of Goethe’s Faust came into existence; these explore the theme of love, so central to opera, and the concomitant themes of redemption for both Gretchen and Faust. A theatrical work with the artistic virtuosity and moral gravity of Goethe’s Faust need not be musically inclusive, yet Goethe sought out many burgeoning musicians - Heinrich Schmieder, Carl Friedrich Zelter, Carl Eberwein and Prince Anton Heinrich Radziwill – as possible composers of Faust. While Goethe longed to have Faust set to music and considered only Mozart and perhaps Meyerbeer as being equal to the task, by the end of his life he had abandoned hope that he would live to witness a musical setting of his text. -

Helena Tyrväinen The restless and searching spirit of the 1890s — Berlioz’s La 1 Damnation de Faust in Helsinki An announcement published in the Helsinki newspaper Uusi Suometar on 21 April, 1900 reveals a great deal about the first eighteen years of the existence of the orchestra of the Helsinki Philharmonic Society and about Finnish musical life in general: Faust, the dramatic legend by Berlioz, will be given in the University Festival Hall on Wednesday 25th of this month. When performed some years ago, this great symphonic work obtained a success which in comparison to other musical works is probably unequalled here. The attractive power it held over the audience seemed unlimited.2 With its great Berlioz concerts of the end of the nineteenth century the orchestra of the Philharmonic Society joined an international current which posthumously advanced the status of the French composer to that of a cult figure. In Finland this phenomenon climaxed with eleven performances of La Damnation de Faust in April 1894 and 1895. These first Finnish performances of La Damnation offer a window into the special characteristics of what has been called the Golden Age of Finnish arts. -
