  • Shakespeare Y Roméo Et Julieite De Charles Gounod
    SHAKESPEARE Y ROMÉO ET JULIEITE DE CHARLES GOUNOD Por RAMÓN MARÍA SERRERA "Shakespeare aplastó con su genio, con su dinámica propia, a casi todos los compositores que trataron de transformar sus dramas en óperas" (Alejo Carpentier) No podía ser de otra forma. Cuando baja el telón al final de la representación, los dos amantes yacen muertos sobre el es­ cenario. Él, tras ingerir el veneno, después de creer que su amada Julieta ha bebido una pócima mortal. Ella, autoinrnolándose por amor cuando descubre que Romeo ha puesto fin a su vida. Una vez más, corno en toda auténtica ópera romántica, un destino ab­ surdo, pero inexorable, impide a los protagonistas hallar la felici­ dad, la paz o la consumación de su amor en este mundo. Porque el amor romántico es -no lo olvidemos- un amor siempre imposi­ ble, un amor que se vive desde el sufrimiento y que se enfrenta a barreras y convenciones sociales, étnicas, políticas o familiares siempre infranqueables. En el Romanticismo la felicidad está cla­ ramente desacreditada. Deben sufrir hasta el límite, hasta poner fin a sus vidas, estos jóvenes amantes protagonistas de una histo­ ria de amor irrealizable a causa de rivalidades familiares o de clanes: capuletos y montescos, güelfos y gibelinos, zegríes y aben­ cerrajes ... Lo mismo da. De lo contrario, no serían los personajes principales de una historia de amor romántica. Y Shakespeare fue un gran dramaturgo romántico ... 136 RAMÓN MARÍA SERRERA - SHAKESPEARE Y EL MELODRAMA ROMÁNTICO En su autobiografía Gounod dejó escrito que "para un com­ positor, no hay sino un camino a seguir para hacerse de un nombre, y éste es el teatro, la ópera.

  • THE REAL THING?1 ADAPTATIONS, TRANSFORMATIONS and BURLESQUES of SHAKESPEARE, HISTORIC and POST-MODERN the Practice of Adapting G
    The real thing? Adaptations, transformations... 289 THE REAL THING?1 ADAPTATIONS, TRANSFORMATIONS AND BURLESQUES OF SHAKESPEARE, HISTORIC AND POST-MODERN Manfred Draudt University of Austria The practice of adapting great authors to fit current requirements is not just a recent phenomenon. The first great wave of adaptations of Shakespeare came after the period of the closing of theatres in 1642, with the advent of the Restoration in 1660. Political change was accompanied by a radical change in tastes, ideals and conditions: theatres were roofed in and artificially illuminated (like the earlier private theatres); there was also elaborate changeable scenery; and for the first time female roles were taken by professional actresses. Most importantly, French neo-classicism was adopted as the fashionable theory that shaped both the form and the language of plays. These currents of change motivated playwrights and managers to “improve on” Shakespeare by rewriting and staging his plays in accordance with the spirit of the new times. Of the hundreds of adaptations written between 1660 and the end of the eighteenth century2 I want to recall here just a few: William Davenant, born in 1606 and claiming to be Shakespeare’s “natural” or illegitimate son, appears to have started the trend in 1662 with his play Ilha do Desterro Florianópolis nº 49 p. 289-314 jul./dez. 2005 290 Manfred Draudt The Law Against Lovers, in which he combined Much Ado About Nothing with a purified Measure for Measure. Even more popular was his spectacular operatic version of a tragedy: Macbeth. With all the Alterations, Amendments, Additions, and New Songs (1663), followed in 1667 by The Tempest, or the Enchanted Island, in which a male counterpart to Miranda, sisters to her and to Caliban, as well as a female companion to Ariel are added.

Herter Norton first published lectures delivered at the People’s Institute, the adult education division of New York City’s Cooper Union. The firm soon expanded its program beyond the Institute, publishing books by celebrated academics from America and abroad. By midcentury, the two major pillars of Norton’s publishing program— trade books and college texts—were firmly established. In the 1950s, the Norton family transferred control of the company to its employees, and today—with a staff of four hundred and a comparable number of trade, college, and professional titles published each year—W.

  • Shakespeare in the Music Library (PDF)
    If music be the food of love: Shakespeare in the Music Library An exhibit in commemoration of the 400th anniversary of the death of William Shakespeare Curated and written by John Bewley, Ph.D. Associate Librarian Music Library University at Buffalo April 2016-June 2016 Music provides a kaleidoscopic array of perspectives through which scholars can view the works and influences of William Shakespeare. While many people are familiar with the most famous uses of Shakespeare in music in such works as Tchaikovsky’s Romeo and Juliet Overture-Fantasy, Verdi’s Shakespeare operas (Falstaff, Macbeth, and Otello), Mendelssohn’s incidental music for A Midsummer Night’s Dream, and Prokofiev’s Romeo and Juliet ballet, this exhibit will highlight some of the most significant topics related to the intersections of Shakespeare and music with some lesser-known examples from the holdings of the Music Library. The use of music in Shakespeare’s plays Music plays a significant role in Shakespeare’s plays through three guises: music performed as part of the play, references in the text to song titles, and the use of words with musical connotations. Shakespeare’s use of performed music in his plays was so extensive that only The Comedy of Errors is without music. One of the remarkable aspects of Shakespeare’s use of music is how integral it is to the dramatic structure in the plays. Some of the music serves as a direct part of the action, such as fanfares associated with processions or to mark royal entrances. In other instances Shakespeare used music as an agent for an action, such as when a lullaby is sung to put a character to sleep.

  • COJ Article Clean Draft 1
    [THIS IS AN EARLY DRAFT (APOLOGIES!): PLEASE DO NOT CIRCULATE] ‘Sounds that float over us from the days of our ancestors’: Italian Opera and Nostalgia in Berlin, 1800-1815 Katherine Hambridge To talk of an identity crisis in Berlin at the end of the eighteenth century might sound curiously anachronistic, if not a little crass – but one writer in 1799 expressed the situation in exactly these terms, and at the level of the entire state: All parties agree that we are living in a moment when one of the greatest epochs in the revolution of humanity begins, and which, more than all previous momentous events, will be important for the spirit of the state. At such a convulsion the character of the latter emerges more than ever, [and] the truth becomes more apparent than ever, that lack of character for a state would be yet as dangerous an affliction, as it would for individual humans.1 The anxiety underlying this writer’s carefully hypothetical introduction – which resonates in several other articles in the four-year run of the Berlin publication, the Jahrbücher der preußichen Monarchie – is palpable. Not only were Prussia’s values and organising principles called into question by the convulsion referred to here – the French revolution – and its rhetoric of liberté, égalité, fraternité (not to mention the beheading of the royal family); so too was the state’s capacity to defend them. Forced to settle with France at the 1795 Peace of Basel, Prussia witnessed from the sidelines of official neutrality Napoleon’s manoeuvres around Europe over the next ten years, each victory a threat to this ‘peace’.
