Low Metropolitan Opera Single copies of this issue: $1.00 Ass't to the Editor New York, N.Y. 10023 CENTRAL OPERA SERVICE BULLETIN Volume 10, Number 5 May - June, 1968 NEW OPERAS AND PREMIERES AMERICAN OPERAS The Theatre of the Living Arts in Philadelphia was the scene of the premiere of Michael White's METAMORPHOSIS on May 3. The three-act opera is based on Franz Kafka's story of the same title, rewritten into a verse-play by Milton Goldberg who also is responsible for the opera libretto. The composer teaches at Philadelphia's M usic Academy. Henri Pousseur, professor of music at New York University in Buffalo, is the com- poser of VOTRE FAUST. The Belgian born composer collaborated with French novelist, Michel Butor, on the libretto which presents the Faust theme in a contem- porary setting. Audience participation in form of voting for one of four possible endings of the opera is one of its innovations. The work was performed on March 17 in a concert version by the Buffalo Philharmonic as part of Buffalo's Festival of the Arts. The team of Lutz Mayer, composer, and Edward Devanny, librettist, collaborated again on a new opera, THE PARANOID PARAKEET. The premiere is scheduled for the opening of the new Fine Arts Building at N.Y. State University-Cortland College and will be a joint production by the University's Drama and Music De- partments. A previous opera by Messrs. Mayer and Devanny is called Refuge. Matt Doran, composer of the The Committee, has written THE LITTLE HAND SO OBSTINA TE. Excerpts of this new opera with a libretto by Sonia Brown were performed recently by the Music Department of Mount St. Mary's College. The Opera Theatre of the University of Arizona in Tucson presented the first per- formance of Henry Johnson's THE MOUNTAIN on December 12, 1967. Two more performances followed. The libretto is by David Grozier. THE MAGIC LAND OF OPERA by Martin Kalmanoff is suggested as opera educa- tion for young audiences. Appearing to a child in a dream sequence, leading figures from twelve of the most famous grand operas discuss their parts and sing some of the best known melodies from their respective operas. Gladys Mathew, President of Community Opera in New York and member of the COS Professional Committee, wrote the libretto for MIDAS, "a poetic opera in three acts." The story is based on early Greek history and myths relating to the dynasty of Midas and Gordius in Lydia and Phrygia. The music is by the late Brit- ish composer Stanley Wilson, who completed the work with a two piano accompani- ment. Musical material has been chosen according to the text, i.e. Lydian and Phrygian modes have been adapted to modern composition. The opera requires a large cast, chorus and dancers. For further information please contact Mrs. Mathew, 160 West 73 St., New York, N. Y. Alberto Ginastera (Don Rodrigo and Bomarzo) is reported to be working on a new opera based on the life of Beatrice Cenci. THE EXCEPTION AND THE RULE by Bertolt Brecht will form the basis for a musical-in-new-format. It will mark the second collaboration of Leonard Bernstein, Jerome Robbins and Stephen Sondheim, following the successful West Side Story. Playwright John Guare will assist in the adaptation of the original script. Besides the new Canadian operas mentioned in the 6/67 Bulletin, we learn through Opera Canada of three other works commissioned for the Centennial Year. They are: THE LAY OF THRYME by Jack Behrens, with a libretto by Keith Cockburn, premiered on Jan. 24, 1968 at the University of Saskatchewan; CASINO ("Creed') by Samuel Doblin with a libretto by Ronald Hambleton; and SCOTTISH LAND- ING by Trevor Jones with a libretto by Donald Wetmore, first performed in Halifax in November, 1967. AMERICAN PREMIERES Carl Orff s Bernauerin received it's first American performance at the University of Missourr-in Kansas City on March 21. The opera, under the title of THE BALLAD OF AGNES BERNAUER, was sung in an English translation by Fritz Kracht who was also in charge of stage directions. The story, which plays in 15th century Bavaria, is based on supposedly true events. The performance in Kansas City presented a collaborative effort of the University's Drama and Music Depart- ments with technical assistance from the University's radio station. The orchestra included a 16-piece percussion ensemble. Also on March 21 the Opera Workshop of Boston University gave the American premiere of Satie's GENEVIEVE OF BRABANT. This fall the San Francisco Opera will present two American "firsts" within one triple-bill. ROYAL PALACE by Kurt Weill will be produced in a pantomime ver- sion by Gunther Schuller scored for six solo voices and a women's chorus. It will also include a ballet. The premiere of the original version took place in Berlin in 1927. On the same program, the California company will present the American stage premiere of a one-act version of Darius Milhaud's Christopher Columbus under the title of DISCOVERY OF AMERICA. The third work on this evening of contemporary operas will be Schonberg's Erwartung. Also on the schedule of San Francisco's 1968 season are revivals of two rarely performed operas, Fra Diavolo and Les Troyens; Die Walkure will be presented in a new production. The American premiere of Hans Werner Henze's one-act opera, THE COUNTRY DOCTOR, will take place at Northwestern University, Evanston, 111., within an unusual frame of presentation. "The Artist as Myth-Maker" is the title of the evening and in addition to the premiere of the Henze opera which is utilizing a specially prepared film, two other films are scheduled on the program. They are recently produced American student films. The evening is part of Northwest- ern's Festival of the Arts, May 23-28. Jeunesses Musicales at Mt. Orford, Quebec, will give the first North American performance of OPERA DE POUSSIERE by the French composer, Marcel Lan- dowski. The first performance of this opera took place in Avignon in 1962. EUROPEAN PREMIERES New British operas include Cornelius Cardow's SCHOOLTIME COMPOSITIONS, a one-act work premiered by Focus Opera Group in London on March 11; also on the triple-bill of contemporary operas were Ligeti's Aventures et nou- velles aventures and Kagel's Sur scene. — On January 11 the All Saints Church in London was host to the Sacred Music-Drama Society and its productions of Inglis Guhdry's THE THREE WISE MEN and Geoffrey Bush's THE EQUA TION. The latter is based on a play by John Drinkwater. — First performances during British summer festivals are listed for June '68 at Aldeburgh: Birtwistle's PUNCH AND JUDY and Britten's THE PRODIGAL SON, and at Glyndebourne '69: Nich- olas Maw's THE RISING OF THE MOON. — The Scottish Opera Co. gave the first performance of Robin Orr's FULL CIRCLE in Perth on a double-bill together with Stravinsky's L'Histoire du soldal. — 2 — Di Lampedusa's famous novel, IL GATTOPARDO (The Leopard), forms the story for Angelo Musco's opera of the same title. Published by Ricordi, the opera was premiered in Palermo on December 19, 1967. — Radio Italiano (RAI) is respon- sible for two unusual revivals during the last season. The one is PIEDIGROTTA by Luigi Ricci (1805-59) first performed in Naples in 1852, revived in December 1967 under the baton of N.

  • UBC High Notes
    UBC High Notes 2009-2010 Season UBC High Notes The newsletter of the School of Music at the University of British Columbia I am delighted to welcome you to the eleventh edition of High Notes, in which we celebrate the recent activities and major achievements of faculty, staff and students in the UBC School of Music. I hope you enjoy this snapshot, which captures the diversity, quality, and impact of our activities and contributions — we are a vibrant community of creators, performers, and scholars! I warmly invite you to read about the School of Music in these pages, and to attend many of our performances in the coming months and years. The 2009-10 year is a significant anniversary for the School. UBC established its Department of Music in 1947 under the leadership of Harry Adaskin, and initially offered B.A. degrees with a major in Music. The Bachelor of Music degree was then developed with the first students entering in September 1959 (by which time the faculty also included other Canadian musical trailblazers like Jean Coulthard and Bar- bara Pentland). These 50 years have witnessed an impressive expansion in our degree programs, so that we now offer Bachelor’s, Master’s, and Doctoral programs in performance, music education, composition, music theory, musicology, and ethnomusicology. What started with a few dozen students has grown into a dynamic and diverse community of over 300 undergraduates and 130 graduate students. Music is thriving at UBC, and we continue to witness exciting increases in the size, quality, and scope of our programs. Our 50th Anniversary year is an opportunity to reflect with gratitude on the generous support the School has received from many donors, and with admiration on the countless contributions to musical performance and education that scores of faculty and thousands of alumni have made over the past five decades — throughout BC, across Canada, and around the world.

Sounding Nostalgia In Post-World War I Paris Abstract In the years that immediately followed the Armistice of November 11, 1918, Paris was at a turning point in its history: the aftermath of the Great War overlapped with the early stages of what is commonly perceived as a decade of rejuvenation. This transitional period was marked by tension between the preservation (and reconstruction) of a certain prewar heritage and the negation of that heritage through a series of social and cultural innovations. In this dissertation, I examine the intricate role that nostalgia played across various conflicting experiences of sound and music in the cultural institutions and popular media of the city of Paris during that transition to peace, around 1919-1920. I show how artists understood nostalgia as an affective concept and how they employed it as a creative resource that served multiple personal, social, cultural, and national functions. Rather than using the term “nostalgia” as a mere diagnosis of temporal longing, I revert to the capricious definitions of the early twentieth century in order to propose a notion of nostalgia as a set of interconnected forms of longing.

Boris Goldovsky and Arthur Schoep Settings & Lighting by ... Aristides Gazetas Costumes by Leo Van Witsen lillllllllllllllllllllllllllillllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllillllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll NOTE ON THE TANGLEWOOD PRODUCTION In the present production (which is very likely the first in the western hemisphere) all the orchestrally accompanied numbers will be heard in the original form and in the order given in Paisiello's original manuscript, a microfilm of which could fortunately be obtained from the composer's native city of Naples. The only major change is the substitution of spoken dialogue for the secco recitatives of the original version. The uninspired sequence of harmonies in these recitatives creates a strong suspicion that these sections of the score had been entrusted to one of Paisiello's pupils, a common practice in the eighteenth century when composers were expected to fashion full-length works on extremely short notice. Paisiello's score has many features of extraordinary interest. Especially remarkable are the two extended finales, the one to the first act being a worthy precursor of the great second-act finale of Mozart's The Marriage of Figaro. In this connection it is worth mentioning that Mozart was present at the first performance of King Theodore in Venice in Vienna and was obviously greatly impressed by the work.

  • Marie Collier: a Life
    Marie Collier: a life Kim Kemmis A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History The University of Sydney 2018 Figure 1. Publicity photo: the housewife diva, 3 July 1965 (Alamy) i Abstract The Australian soprano Marie Collier (1927-1971) is generally remembered for two things: for her performance of the title role in Puccini’s Tosca, especially when she replaced the controversial singer Maria Callas at late notice in 1965; and her tragic death in a fall from a window at the age of forty-four. The focus on Tosca, and the mythology that has grown around the manner of her death, have obscured Collier’s considerable achievements. She sang traditional repertoire with great success in the major opera houses of Europe, North and South America and Australia, and became celebrated for her pioneering performances of twentieth-century works now regularly performed alongside the traditional canon. Collier’s experiences reveal much about post-World War II Australian identity and cultural values, about the ways in which the making of opera changed throughout the world in the 1950s and 1960s, and how women negotiated their changing status and prospects through that period. She exercised her profession in an era when the opera industry became globalised, creating and controlling an image of herself as the ‘housewife-diva’, maintaining her identity as an Australian artist on the international scene, and developing a successful career at the highest level of her artform while creating a fulfilling home life. This study considers the circumstances and mythology of Marie Collier’s death, but more importantly shows her as a woman of the mid-twentieth century navigating the professional and personal spheres to achieve her vision of a life that included art, work and family.
