Musicien. 1 PRÉSENTATION
Offenbach, Jacques - musicien. 1 PRÉSENTATION Offenbach, Jacques (1819-1880), violoncelliste et compositeur allemand, naturalisé français (1860), considéré comme le fondateur de l’opérette. Né à Cologne, dans la famille d’un cantor de synagogue et violoniste, Jacques (en réalité Jakob) Offenbach étudie le violon, puis le violoncelle dès l'âge de neuf ans. En 1833, son père l’amène à Paris et réussit à le faire admettre au Conservatoire, malgré ses origines étrangères. Il n’y reste qu’un an, devient violoncelliste à l'orchestre de l'Opéra-Comique, qu’il quitte dès 1835 pour une carrière soliste de musique de chambre. En 1850, il est appelé à diriger la musique à la Comédie-Française. Compositeur depuis l’enfance, il a pris quelques leçons avec Jacques Halévy en 1835, et livré régulièrement des mélodies ou pièces courtes comme l’Alcôve qui remporte, en 1847, un grand succès. Il espère être joué à l’Opéra-Comique. 2 LA GRANDE PÉRIODE CRÉATRICE En attendant, il fonde en 1855 son propre théâtre, les Bouffes-Parisiens, et rencontre le succès dès le premier spectacle, grâce aux Deux aveugles. Directeur jusqu’en 1861, compositeur, chef d’orchestre, metteur en scène, il livre continûment, sur des livrets de Ludovic Halévy, auquel se joint ensuite Henri Meilhac, des ouvrages nouveaux, parmi lesquels Orphée aux enfers (1858), la Chanson de Fortunio (1861), la Belle Hélène (1864), Barbe-Bleue (1866), la Vie parisienne (1866), la Grande- Duchesse de Gérolstein (1867), la Périchole (1868). Il triomphe aussi à l’étranger, surtout à Vienne. Après la chute du Second Empire, bien que la faveur du public soit moindre en raison de l’évolution du goût et de la présence de nouveaux auteurs comme Charles Lecocq, elle se maintient toutefois, tant lors de reprises, comme la Belle Hélène en 1876, que pour des créations comme Madame Favart ou la Fille du Tambour-major (1879), mais n’empêche pas la faillite, en 1875, de son théâtre de la Gaîté-Lyrique, fondé en 1873. -

Averse as Sir Arthur is to the " interview " in journalism, I could not resist the temptation to ask him to let me do something of the sort when I first had the pleasure of meeting ^ him — not in regard to journalistic matters — some years ago. That permission was most genially , granted, and the little chat which I had with J him then, in regard to the opera which he was writing, appeared in The World.

Offenbach Et L'opéra-Comique
Offenbach et l’opéra-comique Lionel Pons avril 2017 Les rapports de Jacques Offenbach (1819-1880) avec le genre opéra-comique relèvent, tout au long de la vie créatrice du compositeur, d’un paradoxe amoureux. La culture lyrique d’Offenbach, son expérience en tant que violoncelliste dans l’orchestre de l’Opéra-Comique, son goût personnel pour ce genre si français, qui ne dissimule pas sa dette envers le dernier tiers du XVIIIe siècle vont nécessairement le pousser à s’intéresser au genre. Le répertoire de François Adrien Boieldieu (1775-1834), de Ferdinand Hérold (1791-1833), de Nicolò Isouard (1773-1818) lui est tout à fait familier, et quoique d’un esprit particulièrement mordant, il en apprécie le caractère sentimental et la délicatesse de touche. Et presque naturellement, il développe pourtant une conscience claire de ce que réclame impérativement la survie du genre. Offenbach sauveteur de l’opéra-comique ? L’opéra-comique, tel qu’Offenbach le découvre en ce début de XIXe siècle, est l’héritier direct des ouvrages d’André-Ernest-Modeste Grétry (1741-1813), de Pierre-Alexandre Monsigny (1729-1817) ou de Nicolas Dalayrac (1753-1809). Le genre est le fruit d’une période transitionnelle (il occupe dans le répertoire français la place chronologique du classicisme viennois outre Rhin, entre le crépuscule baroque et l’affirmation du romantisme), et reflète assez logiquement le goût de l’époque pour une forme de sentimentalité, sensible en France dans toutes les disciplines artistiques entre 1760 et 1789. Les gravures de Jean-Baptiste Greuze (1725-1805), l’architecture du Hameau de Marie-Antoinette (1783-1876), due à Richard Mique (1728-1794), l’orientation morale de L’autre Tartuffe ou la mère coupable (1792) de Pierre-Augustin Caron de Beaumarchais (1732-1799), La nouvelle Héloïse (1761) de Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778) ou Paul et Virginie (1787) d’Henri Bernardin de Saint-Pierre (1737-1814) portent témoignage de cette tendance esthétique. -

Howard Glover's Life and Career
Howard Glover’s Life and Career Russell Burdekin, July 2019, updated September 2021 (This note was originally part of the preparation for a paper given at the Music in Nineteenth Century Britain Conference, Canterbury Christ Church University, July 5, 2019. See http://englishromanticopera.org/operas/Ruy_Blas/Howard_Glover_Ruy_Blas- harbinger_of_English_Romantic_Opera_demise.pdf ) This note was revised in September 2021 thanks to an email from David Gurney pointing me to Augustus William Gurney’s Memoir of Archer Thompson Gurney, which provided background on Glover’s early life as well as a summary of his character. A few other details have also been amended or added. William Howard Glover was born on 6 June 1819 in London, the second son of Julia Glover one of the best known actresses of the first half of the 19th century. Who his father was is less certain. By the end of 1817, Julia was living apart from her husband, Samuel.1 However, she was on very close terms with the American actor, playwright and author John Howard Payne, who was then living in London.2 The inclusion of Howard as Glover’s middle name and John rather than Samuel being written on the baptism record3 would strongly suggest that Payne was the father, although no definitive evidence has been found. Glover studied the violin with William Wagstaff, leader of the Lyceum Opera orchestra, and joined that band at the age of fifteen. By the age of sixteen had a dramatic scena performed at a Society of British Musicians concert.4 He continued his studies for some years in Italy, Germany and France (Illustrated Times 2 Sep. -

The three performances that I examine are: George M. Cohan’s production of Little Johnny ii Jones (1904), Eleanor Powell’s “Tribute to Bill Robinson” in Honolulu (1939), and Terry- Toons’ cartoon, “The Dancing Shoes” (1949). These performances share an obvious move away from the use of blackface makeup within a minstrel context, and a move towards the masked enjoyment in “black culture” as it contributes to the development of a uniquely American form of entertainment. In bringing these three disparate performances into dialogue I illuminate the many ways in which American entertainment has been built upon an Africanist aesthetic at the same time it has generally disparaged the black body. -

THE THEATRICAL HISTORY OF WICHITA, KANSAS ' I 1872 - 1920 by Patricia Ann Mather A.B., University __of Wichita, 1945 Submitted to the Department of Speech and Drama and the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. Redacted Signature Instructor in charf;& Redacted Signature Sept ember, 19 50 'For tne department PREFACE In the following thesis the author has attempted to give a general,. and when deemed.essential, a specific picture of the theatre in early day Wichita. By "theatre" is meant a.11 that passed for stage entertainment in the halls and shm1 houses in the city• s infancy, principally during the 70' s and 80 1 s when the city was still very young,: up to the hey-day of the legitimate theatre which reached. its peak in the 90' s and the first ~ decade of the new century. The author has not only tried to give an over- all picture of the theatre in early day Wichita, but has attempted to show that the plays presented in the theatres of Wichita were representative of the plays and stage performances throughout the country. The years included in the research were from 1872 to 1920. There were several factors which governed the choice of these dates. First, in 1872 the city was incorporated, and in that year the first edition of the Wichita Eagle was printed. Second, after 1920 a great change began taking place in the-theatre. There were various reasons for this change. -

Christopher Columbus
CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS Music by Jacques Offenbach: book and lyrics by Don White: score compiled and edited by Patric Schmid SYNOPSIS This is the sort of operetta Offenbach might have written and uses much of the music he had intended for a work for America, together with other gems that lie hidden in unperformed Offenbach scores. The racy, witty and brilliantly zany story concerns the amorous adventures of the polygamous Columbus, who, against his will, is sent across the sea pursued by three wives and a fiancée to find the riches of the Indies. He unwittingly comes across an even greater treasure in the shape of a Cola nut, thus discovering not only a new world but one of America's greatest treasures, Coca Cola! Although not an adaptation, this work has been performed successfully by amateurs and is suitable for companies who perform opera or prefer original versions. THE STORY ACT ONE A Square in Cordova in 1492. The young ladies of Cordova, bored with snapping their castanets, shouting 'Ole', are delighted when Beatriz tells them she is engaged. The object of her affections, Christopher Columbus, explains to the young men of the town that he has discovered the art of seduction - marriage. We soon discover it is an art he has been practising all over Europe, for his past catches up with him in the shape of Rosa, Fleurette and Gretel, wives he has wooed, won and walked out on in Italy, France and Switzerland. Columbus tries to hide from this trio of termagents in the middle of a demonstration organised by the Round Earth Society, led by Luis de Torres.
