  • Marie Collier: a Life
    Marie Collier: a life Kim Kemmis A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History The University of Sydney 2018 Figure 1. Publicity photo: the housewife diva, 3 July 1965 (Alamy) i Abstract The Australian soprano Marie Collier (1927-1971) is generally remembered for two things: for her performance of the title role in Puccini’s Tosca, especially when she replaced the controversial singer Maria Callas at late notice in 1965; and her tragic death in a fall from a window at the age of forty-four. The focus on Tosca, and the mythology that has grown around the manner of her death, have obscured Collier’s considerable achievements. She sang traditional repertoire with great success in the major opera houses of Europe, North and South America and Australia, and became celebrated for her pioneering performances of twentieth-century works now regularly performed alongside the traditional canon. Collier’s experiences reveal much about post-World War II Australian identity and cultural values, about the ways in which the making of opera changed throughout the world in the 1950s and 1960s, and how women negotiated their changing status and prospects through that period. She exercised her profession in an era when the opera industry became globalised, creating and controlling an image of herself as the ‘housewife-diva’, maintaining her identity as an Australian artist on the international scene, and developing a successful career at the highest level of her artform while creating a fulfilling home life. This study considers the circumstances and mythology of Marie Collier’s death, but more importantly shows her as a woman of the mid-twentieth century navigating the professional and personal spheres to achieve her vision of a life that included art, work and family.

La version hollywoodienne des studios Disney s’éloigne du roman italien d’origine : le petit garçon au cœur tendre du maître américain diffère radicalement du gamin insupportable imaginé par Collodi. C’est ce personnage a priori peu sympathique que le dramaturge Edouard Signolet a choisi pour sa version de Pinocchio, dans laquelle le pantin de bois, têtu, malpoli et ingrat doit vivre ses aventures pour évoluer et grandir. Le compositeur : Né en 1950, Laurent Petitgirard a étudié le piano avec Serge Petitgirard et la composition avec Alain Kremski. Musicien éclectique, sa carrière de compositeur de musique symphonique, d’opéras et de musique de chambre se double d'une importante activité de chef d'orchestre. Laurent Petitgirard a également composé de nombreuses musiques de films pour des metteurs en scène tels Otto Preminger, Jacques Demy, Francis Girod, Peter Kassovitz.
