  • 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.

  • “Can't Help Singing”: the “Modern” Opera Diva In
    “CAN’T HELP SINGING”: THE “MODERN” OPERA DIVA IN HOLLYWOOD FILM, 1930–1950 Gina Bombola A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Music in the College of Arts and Sciences. Chapel Hill 2017 Approved by: Annegret Fauser Tim Carter Mark Katz Chérie Rivers Ndaliko Jocelyn Neal ©2017 Gina Bombola ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Gina Bombola: “Can’t Help Singing”: The “Modern” Opera Diva in Hollywood Film, 1930–1950 (Under the direction of Annegret Fauser) Following the release of Columbia Pictures’ surprise smash hit, One Night of Love (1934), major Hollywood studios sought to cash in on the public’s burgeoning interest in films featuring opera singers. For a brief period thereafter, renowned Metropolitan Opera artists such as Grace Moore and Lily Pons fared well at the box office, bringing “elite” musical culture to general audiences for a relatively inexpensive price. By the 1940s, however, the studios began grooming their own operatic actresses instead of transplanting celebrities from the stage. Stars such as Deanna Durbin, Kathryn Grayson, and Jane Powell thereby became ambassadors of opera from the highly commercial studio lot. My dissertation traces the shifts in film production and marketing of operatic singers in association with the rise of such cultural phenomena as the music-appreciation movement, all contextualized within the changing social and political landscapes of the United States spanning the Great Depression to the Cold War. Drawing on a variety of methodologies—including, among others, archival research, film analysis, feminist criticisms, and social theory—I argue that Hollywood framed opera as less of a European theatrical art performed in elite venues and more of a democratic, albeit still white, musical tradition that could be sung by talented individuals in any location.

Violet Kmety, Program Director (Program subject to change without notice) ZENITH RADIO STATION, WEFM, 135 S. LA SALLE, FIELD BUILDING, CHICAGO 3 Easter Program Notes Stabat Mater Giovanni Battista Pergolesi (1710-1736) During Lenten season and Holy Week, one of the most vivid ways of signifying the passion and crucifixion of the Saviour is through the liturgical ritual of the Catholic Church called the Stations of the Cross. This ritual includes fourteen stations or scenes which depict the events from the time Christ was condemned to death by Pilate to His burial in the sepulchre. In formal liturgy, between each of these stations or scenes, one verse of a hymn honoring the Mother of Christ as she stood at the foot of the cross, is sung. This hymn is called the Stabat Mater (There Stood the Mother). This tradition of singing the Stabat Mater is a very old one that probably had its origin in the 13th century, when one of the "tropes" or additions to the Alleluia opened with the words "Stabat Mater." The words of the original Latin poem are generally attributed to the 13th century Franciscan Jacopo da Todi, and the melody used was probably of a plainsong nature ( having one voice only, with no accompaniment) .

  • Verdi's Un Ballo in Maschera
    Verdi’s Un ballo in Maschera - A survey of the studio and selected live recordings by Ralph Moore Given the popularity of Un ballo in maschera, it is surprising how relatively few studio recordings it has received: only a dozen, considered below. I have added to those, for their worth and interest, five live radio broadcasts and two recordings of live performances. The most recent was recorded twenty-five years ago. I have excluded any not sung in Italian. It is performed and recorded under two guises: its original version, narrating the assassination of Gustavus III of Sweden and, recast to avoid the spectacle of a monarch being assassinated on stage, its adaptation under pressure from the Roman censors to a new location in Boston, Massachusetts, with the characters’ names changed accordingly; thus Gustavus rather absurdly becomes Riccardo, Earl of Warwick, governor of Boston during the British colonial period. Modern stage productions tend to revert to the Swedish setting but the only recordings below to do so are Karajan’s in 1989 and the live production with Pavarotti in Vienna in 1986. It is expertly structured, paced and balanced – close to flawless as operas go and nowhere as far- fetched in the action or as unbelievable in motivation as some others, as long as you make allowance for a bit of jiggery-pokery to do with fortune-telling and magic herbs. Its trio of main characters are credible and sympathetic; Riccardo/Gustavo is a likeable tenor-hero whose character is portrayed in some depth; he evinces the usual romantic ardour but also a sense of humour; Amelia is passionate and principled without being sentimentalised; Renato/Anckarström is not the vengeful monster of the type we see in Don Carlo in La forza del destino but a man wracked and tormented by the betrayal of his wife and best friend.
