JC Williamson (Opera, Comic Opera, Operetta)
AUSTRALIAN EPHEMERA COLLECTION FINDING AID J.C. WILLIAMSON OPERA, COMIC OPERA, OPERETTA PROGRAMS PERFORMING ARTS PROGRAMS AND EPHEMERA (PROMPT) PRINTED AUSTRALIANA AUGUST 2017 James Cassius Williamson was an American actor who immigrated to Australia in the 1870s. Along with business partners, such as William Musgrove, his theatre company became one of the most dominant in colonial Australia. After his death in 1913 the company, now named J.C. Williamson Ltd. continued under the direction of George Tallis and the Tait brothers (who remained involved in the company until the 1970s). J.C. Williamson continued to be one of the biggest theatre companies in Australia throughout the first three quarters of the 20th century. J.C. Williamson held the license for theatres in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide and New Zealand (at times more than one theatre in each city). In 1976 the company closed, but the name was licensed until the mid 1980s. This list includes productions of Gilbert and Sullivan operettas held in J.C. Williamson theatres, as well as those produced by J.C. Williamson and performed in other theatres under venue hire arrangements. CONTENT Printed materials in the PROMPT collection include programs and printed ephemera such as brochures, leaflets, tickets, etc. Theatre programs are taken as the prime documentary evidence of a performance staged by the J.C. Williamson company. In a few cases however, the only evidence of a performance is a piece of printed ephemera. In these cases the type of piece is identified, eg, brochure. The list is based on imperfect holdings and is updated as gaps in the Library’s holdings for these artists are filled. -

W. NORTON AND COMPANY NEW YORK ē LONDON W. W. Norton & Company has been independent since its founding in 1923, when William Warder Norton and Mary D. Herter Norton first published lectures delivered at the People’s Institute, the adult education division of New York City’s Cooper Union. The firm soon expanded its program beyond the Institute, publishing books by celebrated academics from America and abroad. By midcentury, the two major pillars of Norton’s publishing program— trade books and college texts—were firmly established. In the 1950s, the Norton family transferred control of the company to its employees, and today—with a staff of four hundred and a comparable number of trade, college, and professional titles published each year—W.

Appropriations of Gregorian Chant in Fin-De-Siècle French Opera: Couleur Locale – Message-Opera – Allusion?
Journal of the Royal Musical Association, 145/1, 37–74 doi:10.1017/rma.2020.7 Appropriations of Gregorian Chant in Fin-de-siècle French Opera: Couleur locale – Message-Opera – Allusion? BENEDIKT LESSMANN Abstract This article compares three French operas from the fin de siècle with regard to their appropriation of Gregorian chant, examining their different ideological and dramaturgical impli- cations. In Alfred Bruneau’s Le rêve (1891), the use of plainchant, more or less in literal quotation and an accurate context, has often been interpreted as naturalistic. By treating sacred music as a world of its own, Bruneau refers to the French idea of Gregorian chant as ‘other’ music. In Vincent d’Indy’s L’étranger (1903), a quotation of Ubi caritas does not serve as an occasional illustration, but becomes essential as part of the leitmotif structure, thus functioning as the focal point of a religious message. Jules Massenet’s Le jongleur de Notre-Dame (1902) provides a third way of using music associated with history and Catholicism. In this collage of styles, plainchant is not quoted literally, but rather alluded to, offering in this ambiguity a mildly anti-clerical satire. Thus, through an exchange, or rather through a bizarre and unfortunate reversal, church music in the theatre is more ecclesiastical than in the church itself. Camille Bellaigue1 In an article in the Revue des deux mondes of 1904, the French critic Camille Bellaigue described the incorporation of church music into contemporary opera, referring to anticipated examples by Meyerbeer and Gounod; to works less well known today, such as Lalo’s Le roi d’Ys (which quotes the Te Deum); and also (quite extensively) to Wagner’s Parsifal, the ‘masterpiece […] or the miracle of theatrical art that is not only Email: [email protected] I am grateful to Stefan Keym for his support and advice with my doctoral studies and beyond. -

Il a pris les traits d'une violente tempête qui force l'équipage d'un navire norvégien à interrompre son voyage tout prêt du but et à jeter l'ancre dans la baie de Sandwike, un rivage rocheux et escarpé. Les éléments ont fait leur œuvre, la tempête se calme peu à peu. Daland, le capitaine du navire, descend se reposer dans la cale avec les matelots, abandonnant la garde du pont au pilote. Après une dernière ronde, celui-ci chante son impatience de revoir enfin sa bien-aimée... puis il s'endort, vaincu par la fatigue. La tempête déferle à nouveau, portant sur son écume un étrange vaisseau aux voiles rouges sang. C'est le vaisseau fantôme ; il s'approche rapidement et vient mouiller dans la baie, à côté du navire norvégien. Son capitaine, le Hollandais, descend à terre et conte la malédiction dont il est prisonnier : l'errance interminable sur les flots, à laquelle seule pourrait mettre fin la fidélité absolue d'une femme. -
NITOUCHE for ALL ETERNITY Pascal Blanchet
NITOUCHE FOR ALL ETERNITY Pascal Blanchet Lovers of Hervé who decide to take a stroll through his home town of Houdain (in the Pas-de-Calais département) may go to pay their respects at no.36 rue Roger Salengro, where the house in which the composer was born in 1825 is still standing. Having read the plaque piously affixed to these venerable walls, the traveller need only go a few steps farther to reach the corner of rue Jean Jaurès. There one has the surprise of finding oneself face to face with Hervé, or at least with his statue, which rises at the centre of a pretty square that bears his name. The musician, standing behind a music desk, arms raised and baton in hand, is conducting one of his scores. By craning one’s neck slightly, one can manage to read the title: Mam’zelle Nitouche. Thus, for all eternity, Hervé will conduct this work that remains his best-known, more even than Le Petit Faust, his other great success, or the other three instalments of his ‘tetralogy’, L’Œil crevé, Chilpéric and Les Turcs. Yet it is not a work unanimously approved of by ‘Hervéistes’, some of whom denigrate it as a score of lesser stature, lacking in those large-scale ensembles that allowed Hervé to give full rein to his talent. Does this relative disdain for a piece that refuses to die have any justification? And has the time come to rehabilitate Mam’zelle Nitouche? Operetta as autobiography ‘In 1847 I was engaged as a singing actor at the Théâtre de Montmartre, then under the direction of Daudé.
