Mills Ouachita Baptist University Follow this and additional works at: https://scholarlycommons.obu.edu/honors_theses Part of the French and Francophone Literature Commons, Other Theatre and Performance Studies Commons, and the Translation Studies Commons Recommended Citation Mills, Joy A., "Allusions and Historical Models in Gaston Leroux's The Phantom of the Opera" (2004). Honors Theses. 83. https://scholarlycommons.obu.edu/honors_theses/83 This Thesis is brought to you for free and open access by the Carl Goodson Honors Program at Scholarly Commons @ Ouachita. It has been accepted for inclusion in Honors Theses by an authorized administrator of Scholarly Commons @ Ouachita. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Gaston Leroux's 1911 novel, The Phantom of the Opera, has a considerable number of allusions, some of which are accessible to modern American audiences, like references to Romeo and Juilet. Many of the references, however, are very specific to the operatic world or to other somewhat obscure fields. Knowledge of these allusions would greatly enhance the experience of readers of the novel, and would also contribute to their ability to interpret it. Thus my thesis aims to be helpful to those who read The Phantom of the Opera by providing a set of notes, as it were, to explain the allusions, with an emphasis on the extended allusion of the Palais Garnier and the historical models for the heroine, Christine Daae. Notes on Translations At the time of this writing, three English translations are commercially available of The Phantom of the Opera.

  • Bellini's Norma
    Bellini’s Norma - A discographical survey by Ralph Moore There are around 130 recordings of Norma in the catalogue of which only ten were made in the studio. The penultimate version of those was made as long as thirty-five years ago, then, after a long gap, Cecilia Bartoli made a new recording between 2011 and 2013 which is really hors concours for reasons which I elaborate in my review below. The comparative scarcity of studio accounts is partially explained by the difficulty of casting the eponymous role, which epitomises bel canto style yet also lends itself to verismo interpretation, requiring a vocalist of supreme ability and versatility. Its challenges have thus been essayed by the greatest sopranos in history, beginning with Giuditta Pasta, who created the role of Norma in 1831. Subsequent famous exponents include Maria Malibran, Jenny Lind and Lilli Lehmann in the nineteenth century, through to Claudia Muzio, Rosa Ponselle and Gina Cigna in the first part of the twentieth. Maria Callas, then Joan Sutherland, dominated the role post-war; both performed it frequently and each made two bench-mark studio recordings. Callas in particular is to this day identified with Norma alongside Tosca; she performed it on stage over eighty times and her interpretation casts a long shadow over. Artists since, such as Gencer, Caballé, Scotto, Sills, and, more recently, Sondra Radvanovsky have had success with it, but none has really challenged the supremacy of Callas and Sutherland. Now that the age of expensive studio opera recordings is largely over in favour of recording live or concert performances, and given that there seemed to be little commercial or artistic rationale for producing another recording to challenge those already in the catalogue, the appearance of the new Bartoli recording was a surprise, but it sought to justify its existence via the claim that it authentically reinstates the integrity of Bellini’s original concept in matters such as voice categories, ornamentation and instrumentation.

Andréa René Franke Operatic Observation of the Audience: Examining Chapter One of Edith Wharton’s The Age of Innocence Andréa René Franke The act of observation, as defined by Professor Lawrence Wheeler’s Fall 2012 Syllabus for his course titled “Theatron”, is “a morally complex act undertaken by qualified agents, operating through recognized and formalized practices, in a specific venue, and in possession of a carefully delimited vocabulary of discourse.” Throughout many disciplines this formalized practice can be identified in many forms while still prescribing to this narrow definition. This essay will show how this definition of observation is applied to early 20th century American literature in Edith Wharton’s The Age of Innocence (1920) by examining the first chapter of Wharton’s museum cultured novel.

Performances happen in the Crypt Chapel...an inspired setting for The Tell-Tale Heart—the vaulted, cloistered qualities well suited for a meditation on entombment.” –Parterre Box Dominick Argento’s Miss Havisham’s Wedding Night & Hector Berlioz’s La Mort de Cléopâtre • “I would not have wanted to hear either opera anywhere else....Without that separation from the audience, Partridge and Gaissert leveraged the closeness, relying on the transparency of their characters’ damaged psyches, indulging in murmured pianissimos and quick turns that might get lost in a bigger house. The result was both lavish and intimate.” — NY Magazine • “There was the gobsmacking experience of having the performers right there at one’s elbow, inches away – Cleopatra’s gown wafting against your shoulder as she passed, Miss Havisham’s old lace perfuming the air as her doleful countenance met yours in a transfixing intimacy. And, above all, there was the sound!” La Scena Musicale Marcos Portugal's The Marriage of Figaro • “So Much More Than Sleep No More.

  • Music to My Ears, but Words to My Eyes? Text, Opera and Their Audiences
    Music to my ears, but words to my eyes? Text, opera and their audiences Lucile Desblache Roehampton University To Judi Palmer and Jonathan Burton, surtitlers at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden This paper discusses the translation of opera libretti throughout the history of the genre. Opera was born of a need to make words more prominent in vocal music and to express emotions through their musical setting. We shall first consider how attitudes to languages and to the audiences have im- pacted on different ways of providing translated versions of the operatic text through its relatively short history. Then, we shall focus on the most recent form of transfer available, on surtitling, show how it is governed by a desire for accessibility and is provided within the context of making clas- sical music available to a wider and more diversified public. 1. Introduction: words in opera From Confucius to Jaques Attali, thinkers through the ages have argued that music reflects the civilisation it belongs to but also expresses prophetic vi- sions of society, anticipating historical and social developments to come through its own rules and styles. Although the power of music has always been notable in all human cultures, in the space of less than a century our ways of making, listening to and appreciating music have changed dramati- cally, essentially through the use of technology. This is particularly visible in compositions which combine words with music, as we now have the means to make the text as prominent or discreet as we wish, and it is the case in all vocal music genres, from pop to opera.

  • Giacomo Puccini – Quartetto in D” Per Archi
    Bulletin of the Transilvania University of Braşov Series VIII: Performing Arts • Vol. 11 (60) No. 1 – 2018 Giacomo Puccini – Quartetto in D” per archi Raluca TONESCU (IRIMIA)1 Abstract: Giacomo Puccini’s works for a string quartet are: three minutes, the Crisantemi elegy and the String Quartet in D Major, which is the only complete piece we have. This work has four parts and was composed between 1881 and 1883, when Puccini was studying at Milan Conservatory. This quartet was first published in its complete version by the Italian publishing house Casa Ricordi. All four parts of the Quartet were discovered in different places, either as manuscripts or as transcriptions for other chamber works made by his younger brother, Michele Puccini. The fact that all these parts were put together in one piece has been subject of thorough research, of which Dieter Schickling is the most important. In his volume about Puccini, The works of Giacomo Puccini. A complete catalogue, he describes all the composer’s manuscripts in detail. Key-words: Giacomo Puccini, quartetto in D. 1. Introduction String Quartet's history indicates the first signs of the occurrence of the Quartet as genre in the compositions of Giuseppe Tartini and Alessandro Scarlatti, as sonatas a quarto from their creations, VII-VIII century (Bughici 1978, 88). If Joseph Haydn (1732-1809) is for the Symphony and for piano sonatas a guide on the way of completion, for the String Quartet he is the creator. The structure of the beginning Quartets is five parts: allegro-adagio-allegro-minuet- minuet- allegro finale, and after only a few years, starting with op.
