Selbst enge Freunde erscheinen trotz persönlicher Einladung nicht zur Zeremonie. Als der alte und immer häufiger grantelnde Johannes Brahms gebeten wird, nach einem Umtrunk noch die neue Frau dÁlbert in der Wiener Musikszene zu begrüßen, bemerkt er lakonisch: „Ach, dÁlbert heiratet ja noch einige Male, die dritte Frau überschlage ich.“ Eugen indes erklärt sich das Scheitern seiner ersten beiden Ehen auf seine Weise. In einem Brief an einen Freund schreibt er: er sei jeweils zu unreif gewesen, er sei mehr geheiratet worden, als dass er geheiratet habe, mit Hermine, der Erwählten, werde es nun zum ersten Mal eine Ehe auf echt sittlicher Basis.

Diva Rivalry for Fun and Profit: an Examination of Diva [Mis-] Conceptions Via the Rivalry of Maria Callas and Renata Tebaldi
DIVA RIVALRY FOR FUN AND PROFIT: AN EXAMINATION OF DIVA [MIS-]CONCEPTIONS VIA THE RIVALRY OF MARIA CALLAS AND RENATA TEBALDI A thesis submitted to The Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF MUSIC in the Division of Composition, Musicology, and Theory at the College-Conservatory of Music 2013 by Sarah Pozderac-Chenevey B.A., Mercyhurst College, 2009 Committee Chair: Jeongwon Joe, PhD ABSTRACT The [in]famous rivalry between Renata Tebaldi and Maria Callas is part of a long tradition of diva competition and comparison. This thesis examines the historiography of prime donne and their feuds and then explores in turn the major components of this diva rivalry: the women’s public careers, their personal lives, and their depictions in media. Though the popular image of the two posits that Callas and Tebaldi were in direct competition for roles but strikingly different offstage, the facts suggest that they were far more similar in personality than generally acknowledged and that their repertoires had little overlap and thus sparse motive for direct professional conflict than widely assumed. I argue that much of the common knowledge about Callas and Tebaldi is the result of preconceived expectations and skewed representations rather than reality.
