  • Melinda and Her Sisters: Reconsidering a Suffrage Operetta As Pageantry
    Melinda and Her Sisters: Reconsidering a Suffrage Operetta as Pageantry A thesis submitted by Kendall H. Winter in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Music Tufts University February 2017 Advisor: Stephan Pennington ii Abstract This thesis claims that the sui generis classification of Belmont and Maxwell’s Melinda and Her Sisters as a suffrage operetta is to blame for the lack of extant scholarship on the work. In its place, I offer the analytical framework of pageantry. Relying on contemporaneous press and practical guides and recent histories of each genre, I reconstruct the commercial and critical atmosphere in the year the work was created, 1916. I also draw on suffrage propaganda, government documents, and court cases to convey the sociopolitical tension of the historical moment. By placing the two genres in dialogue, I reveal a chiasmus of gender and class coding attendant to each. I conclude that it was the relatively high cultural capital of “suffrage operetta,” and not its aptness of description, that ultimately led the creators to market their work as such. As a genre case study, this thesis comments on the impact that ontology has on reception. iii Table of Contents Introduction ............................................................................................................. 1 Chapter One: Reassessing the Operetta Classification ......................................... 15 Chapter Two: A Case for Pageantry ....................................................................

Jacques began composing songs at the age of eight. At age 14 he entered the Paris Conservatory, but left after a year. However, Jacques continued to take composition lessons. He supported himself as a cellist in an opera orchestra, gave concerts, and became known as a fine soloist.

  • Operetta After the Habsburg Empire by Ulrike Petersen a Dissertation
    Operetta after the Habsburg Empire by Ulrike Petersen A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Music in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in Charge: Professor Richard Taruskin, Chair Professor Mary Ann Smart Professor Elaine Tennant Spring 2013 © 2013 Ulrike Petersen All Rights Reserved Abstract Operetta after the Habsburg Empire by Ulrike Petersen Doctor of Philosophy in Music University of California, Berkeley Professor Richard Taruskin, Chair This thesis discusses the political, social, and cultural impact of operetta in Vienna after the collapse of the Habsburg Empire. As an alternative to the prevailing literature, which has approached this form of musical theater mostly through broad surveys and detailed studies of a handful of well‐known masterpieces, my dissertation presents a montage of loosely connected, previously unconsidered case studies. Each chapter examines one or two highly significant, but radically unfamiliar, moments in the history of operetta during Austria’s five successive political eras in the first half of the twentieth century. Exploring operetta’s importance for the image of Vienna, these vignettes aim to supply new glimpses not only of a seemingly obsolete art form but also of the urban and cultural life of which it was a part. My stories evolve around the following works: Der Millionenonkel (1913), Austria’s first feature‐length motion picture, a collage of the most successful stage roles of a celebrated

  • An Early 20Th-Century Kraków Vaudeville by Krumłowski: a Cultural Transfer Or an Expression of Local Traditions?
    Musica Iagellonica 2012 ISSN 1233-9679 Anna G. PIOTROWSKA (Kraków) An early 20th-century Kraków vaudeville by Krumłowski: a cultural transfer or an expression of local traditions? At the turn of the twentieth century, the vaudeville traditions were em- braced in Kraków by Konstanty Krumłowski (1872–1938)—a well-known and liked author of satirical texts. His plays, complete with dances and short songs written by various—more or less recognized composers—were very popular in Kraków. The phenomenon of the genre may be considered from two perspec- tives: as an example of cultural transfer of Viennese traditions, oriented toward operetta performances, or as an instance of cultivating local themes. The first approach focuses on the very genre of vaudeville, and concerns the influence of Vienna over the musical life in Kraków which, at that time, was a part of Austro-Hungarian Empire. The second approach concentrates on the content of Krumłowski’s vaudevilles and is an attempt to find out whether local themes are present in his musically illustrated acts. 1. The end of the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth century mark the peak of operetta’s popularity in Vienna, attributed to the success of Johann Strauss, Jr.’s works. This is the time when the golden age of Viennese operet- ta 1—apart from J. Strauss’, the works of Carl Zeller (1842–1898) or Franz von 1 Richard Traubner, Operetta.

  • The Cosmopolitan Realism of Offenbach's La Vie Parisienne
    Writing the City: The Cosmopolitan Realism of Offenbach’s La Vie parisienne Jacek Blaszkiewicz As the curtain of Paris’s Théâtre du Palais Royal rose on October 31, 1866, spectators saw before them a mise-en-scène unprecedented in the city’s operatic history: a railway station—specifically the Gare de l’Ouest, one of Paris’s newest and busiest. A chorus marches onto the stage, announc- ing that they are the employees of the Ligne de l’Ouest rail company. Against an aggressive triple-meter orchestral accompaniment, the workers list off the names of the French cities and towns served by the company: Conflans, Triel, Poissy, Barentin, Pavilly, Vernon, Bolbec, etc. This list is doubly humorous. First, it captures the mechanical repetitiveness of the ever-expanding French railway system, rendered musically through an eleven-measure dominant prolongation in Bb major. Second, it pokes fun at mass-produced travel literature aimed specifically at tourists; the chorus, in essence, sings a version of the itineraries found in Lehaguez’s Le Nouveau paris: guide à l’étranger, a popular guidebook series that contained endless pages of station names in miniscule typescript. The workersfollow this list with a second: an account of various professional tasks, such as selling tickets and newspapers, opening and closing gates, and signaling incom- ing and outgoing rail traffic. These two lists are repeated twice, before the employees march off the stage, presumably back to work. The employees’ exit concludes the first vocal number of La Vie parisi- enne, an opéra-bouffe by Henri Meilhac and Ludovic Halévy with music by Jacques Offenbach.
