Parsifal and Canada: a Documentary Study
Parsifal and Canada: A Documentary Study The Canadian Opera Company is preparing to stage Parsifal in Toronto for the first time in 115 years; seven performances are planned for the Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts from September 25 to October 18, 2020. Restrictions on public gatherings imposed as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic have placed the production in jeopardy. Wagnerians have so far suffered the cancellation of the COC’s Flying Dutchman, Chicago Lyric Opera’s Ring cycle and the entire Bayreuth Festival for 2020. It will be a hard blow if the COC Parsifal follows in the footsteps of a projected performance of Parsifal in Montreal over 100 years ago. Quinlan Opera Company from England, which mounted a series of 20 operas in Montreal in the spring of 1914 (including a complete Ring cycle), announced plans to return in the fall of 1914 for another feast of opera, including Parsifal. But World War One intervened, the Parsifal production was cancelled, and the Quinlan company went out of business. Let us hope that history does not repeat itself.1 While we await news of whether the COC production will be mounted, it is an opportune time to reflect on Parsifal and its various resonances in Canadian music history. This article will consider three aspects of Parsifal and Canada: 1) a performance history, including both excerpts and complete presentations; 2) remarks on some Canadian singers who have sung Parsifal roles; and 3) Canadian scholarship on Parsifal.

ARSC Journal
A Discography of the Choral Symphony by J. F. Weber In previous issues of this Journal (XV:2-3; XVI:l-2), an effort was made to compile parts of a composer discography in depth rather than breadth. This one started in a similar vein with the realization that SO CDs of the Beethoven Ninth Symphony had been released (the total is now over 701). This should have been no surprise, for writers have stated that the playing time of the CD was designed to accommodate this work. After eighteen months' effort, a reasonably complete discography of the work has emerged. The wonder is that it took so long to collect a body of information (especially the full names of the vocalists) that had already been published in various places at various times. The Japanese discographers had made a good start, and some of their data would have been difficult to find otherwise, but quite a few corrections and additions have been made and some recording dates have been obtained that seem to have remained 1.Dlpublished so far. The first point to notice is that six versions of the Ninth didn't appear on the expected single CD. Bl:lhm (118) and Solti (96) exceeded the 75 minutes generally assumed (until recently) to be the maximum CD playing time, but Walter (37), Kegel (126), Mehta (127), and Thomas (130) were not so burdened and have been reissued on single CDs since the first CD release. On the other hand, the rather short Leibowitz (76), Toscanini (11), and Busch (25) versions have recently been issued with fillers. -

A Wien Holding Company Intendant Roland Geyer General sponsors of the Theater an der Wien The Theater an der Wien recieves subsidies from the Cultural Department of the City of Vienna insNoten130x205_4c_E_TheaterRZ 04.06.2008 13:53 Uhr Seite 1 „WHOEVER HEARS BUTTERFLIES LAUGHING, KNOWS THE SCENT OF CLOUDS“ (Novalis) he butterfly is a wonderful symbol of transformation and freedom. And this is a requirement that art repeatedly demands, too. The mysterious Tmetamorphosis of the ugly caterpillar into the magnificent butterfly has sti- mulated man’s imagination from time immemorial. Everyone who watches Where does a butterfly is struck by its beauty, elegance and lightness. The ancient ability to think in images and symbols is inside each one of us – and in the world of opera, too. The opera is a treasure-house of the music call the tune? irrational. It unfolds “our imagination’s most beautiful alternative world.” Mozart himself confessed, “I need only to hear talk about opera, I need only to be in the theatre and hear voices – it suffices to transport me utterly.” The Theater an der Wien, the new opera house, is aiding a development in our city that no one can now fail to notice: more and more people with an interest in culture, and younger people too, are going to the opera! They are looking for a space where dreams and longings can unfold freely with great emotion and even pathos – and the opera provides a meeting place for them: everything appears bathed in “bright” light, and in this light one is drawn in by enchanting sounds. -
Alberichs Fluch
„Meiner Freiheit erster Gruß“ Alberichs Fluch (von Gunter Grimm; Dezember 2019) Alberich und die Rheintöchter Alberich ist der Herr der versklavten Zwerge, ein dämonischer Bursche, der darüber hinaus die Zau- berkunst beherrscht. Er besitzt einen Tarnhelm, der ihn unsichtbar macht, und einen magischen Ring, mit dessen Hilfe er Gold hortet und durch Erwerb und Bestechung die Weltherrschaft erringen möchte. Er ist also ein Kapitalist übler Sorte! Es versteht sich, dass Wotan sich dieses verheerende Treiben nicht gefallen lassen darf – schließlich dünkt er sich ja als Göttervater und Herr der Welt. Deshalb wogt in den vier Teilen der „Ring“-Tetralogie unentwegt der Kampf um den Ring. Im Grunde sind all die menschlichen Protagonisten der zwei Generationen: Siegmund und Sieglinde, hernach Siegfried, Gutrune und die Burgunder, nur Instrumente im Kampf um den Besitz des Ringes. Anders sieht das bei den übergeordneten Instanzen aus Götter- und Dämonenwelt: Wotan und Brünnhilde, Alberich und Hagen sind Gegenmächte – freilich nicht eindeutig als die gute und die böse Partei identifizierbar. Im ersten Teil der Tetralogie, im „Rheingold“ wird die Grundkonstellation angelegt. Die Rheintöchter besitzen das mythische Rheingold, dessen Besitz zu uneingeschränkter Macht verhilft, wenn sein Be- sitzer aus diesem Gold einen Ring schmiedet und zugleich der Liebe abschwört. Die Ausgangssituati- on ist der vergebliche Versuch des Zwergenkönigs Alberich, eine der Rheintöchter für sich zu erobern. Sie erzählen ihm vom Gold und dass derjenige, welcher der Liebe entsage, aus dem Gold einen Ring schmieden könne, der ihm quasi die Weltherrschaft verleihen würde. Das leuchtet dem Zwerg derma- ßen ein, dass er den Bericht umgehend in die Tat umsetzt. -

I’m not sure I buy that. It was only 1500 years ago, and I don’t think Arabic then was so different from modern Arabic that millions of Arab Muslims make such an elementary mistake. But who knows ... maybe Allah really only did mean that the nearly arrived would be greeted with a plate of figs .. -

We will add more programs as needed.

Die zahlreichen und bleibenden Verdienste im einzelnen hervorzuheben und zu rühmen, ist hier nicht der Platz, doch ich möchte meine herzlichen Glückwünsche zum Jubiläum verbinden mit der Zuversicht, dass nicht allein Rückschau gehalten wird, sondern die vergangenen 50 Jahre als solides Fundament Anerkennung finden, auf dem die Zukunft mit Begeisterung und Ideenreichtum errichtet wird. Das Engagement innerhalb der Stipendienstiftung ist gewiss die wichtigste und schönste Aufgabe, der sich die Mitglieder des Verbands widmen. Denn gerade mit dem behutsamen Heranführen junger Menschen an Werk und Wirkung Richard Wagners erfüllt ein Verband ganz Wesentliches und leistet bedeutende Arbeit. Und darüber hinaus wäre es ja möglich, dass auf solche Art und Weise sogar Nachwuchs- Mitglieder gewonnen werden. Ein Jubiläum ist stets eine kleine Zäsur, ein kurzes Innehalten, ein Besinnen und Atemholen, natürlich auch ein Bilanzieren des Gewesenen. -
