Consequently, a new production of AIDA is an event barely to be surpassed, especially when performed before a notoriously critical audience of la La Scala. AIDA With his unpretentious and lucid new interpretation of the opera, directorial legend Peter Stein succeeds in delivering a production acclaimed in equal measure by the Orchestra Orchestra and Chorus press and public: “a perfect coup de theatre” (Giornale della musica). of the Teatro alla Scala Conductor Zubin Mehta Indeed, he breathes new life into Giuseppe Verdi’s romantic drama about power, Stage Director Peter Stein passion, jealousy and death: the Nubian Princess Aida, who is unfortunate enough to find herself in prison in Egypt, is secretly in love with the leader of the army, The King Carlo Colombara Radamès. He however has been promised in marriage to the Egyptian king's Amneris Anita Rachvelishvili daughter Amneris, who also loves him. The secret love affair between Aida and Aida Kristin Lewis Radamès is uncovered and fate takes its course ...

(Perhaps while I am writing this, ‘Opera Canada’ is doing the same?) For several years she was based in Vienna, singing lead roles at the State Opera. Elsewhere in Europe she has had great success as Elsa, Arabella, Tatiana, Desdemona and Alice Ford in Munich, Paris, Glyndebourne and Milan. Four years ago in Hamburg she had already caught my at- tention as a great Ellen Orford in Peter Grimes. As is the custom in Europe we joined the fans wait- ing for her at the stage door and asked her whether she is thinking of doing Tosca. Yes, next year in San Francisco. This year she will sing her first Elisabetta (Don Carlo) in Salzburg, Ariadne in Barcelona and her Met debut as Lisa (Pique Dame) is planned for 2004.

    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.
