Schumann was seven years finding a book for the only opera he ever wrote. In that time, he examined no less than twenty-two subjects, in- cluding the " Nibelungen Lied," " Abelard and He'loise," and Byron's " Corsair." In 1847, ne came across Hebbel's version of the story of Genevieve. Tieck's poem on the same subject also presenting itself, he requested Robert Reinick to prepare from them both a libretto. Schumann, being dissatisfied with Reinick's book, made so many changes that Rei- nick renounced all claim to what finally appeared. The opera was com- pleted during the year 1848. On its first production, at Leipzig, in 1850, it failed ; and, though it has since been performed, from time to time, at various theatres in Germany, it has never held a firm place in the repertory of lyric theatres. It is admitted that reasons for its want of success are to be found partly in the defects of the libretto. With regard to this, Dr. " Spitta says : He himself [i.e., the composer] arranged his own libretto. His chief model was Hebbel's ' Genoveva,' — a tragedy which had affected him in a wonderful way,— though he also made use of Tieck's ' Genoveva.' Besides these, he took Weber's ' Euryanthe ' as a pattern. The mixture of three poems, so widely differing from one another, resulted in a confusion of motives and an uncertainty of delineation, which add to the uninterest- ing impression produced by the libretto." The essentially lyric character of Schumann's score affords another reason for the succes (Testime which " Genoveva " won. Nearly the entire music to " Genoveva " was given in concert by the Bach Choir of London, in May, 1887,— a unique proceeding, which gave great pleasure to the GRAND, UPRIGHT, AND SQUARE PIANOFORTES. For more than fifty years before the public, these instruments have, by their excellence, attained an unpurchased pre-eminence, which establishes them the unequalled in TONE, TOUCH, WORKMANSHIP, AND DURABILITY.

The story of Genevieve, as related in the "Origines du Palatinat," by Freher, has been a favorite with novelists, dramatists, and the makers of pantomime, opera, and opera bouffe (notably Offenbach). We will ask the accomplished annotator of Mr. Henschel's London Symphony Concerts to tell something about the overture, mentioning, however, that it was first performed in Boston by the orchestra of the Harvard Musical Association on March i, 1866. Its last performance here was at a Boston Symphony Concert, Nov. 19, 1887: — " Genoveva's knightly husband goes to the wars ; and, in his absence a pretended friend urges her to forget her duty to him.

Descriptive Summary Creator: Various Title: Brooklyn Theater Playbills and Programs Collection Date Span: 1875-1972 Abstract: The Brooklyn Theater Playbills and Programs Collection consists of 800 playbills and programs for motion pictures, musical concerts, high school commencement exercises, lectures, photoplays, vaudeville, and burlesque, as well as the more traditional offerings such as plays and operas, all from Brooklyn theaters. Quantity: 2.25 linear feet Location: Brooklyn Collection Map Room, cabinet 11 Repository: Brooklyn Public Library – Brooklyn Collection Reference Code: BC0071 Scope and Content Note The 800 items in the Brooklyn Theater Playbills and Programs Collection, which occupies 2.25 cubic feet, easily refute the stereotypes of Brooklyn as provincial and insular. From the late 1880s until the 1940s, the period covered by the bulk of these materials, the performing arts thrived in Brooklyn and were available to residents right at their doorsteps. At one point, there were over 200 theaters in Brooklyn. Frequented by the rich, the middle class and the working poor, they enjoyed mass popularity. With materials from 115 different theaters, the collection spans almost a century, from 1875 to 1972. The highest concentration is in the years 1890 to 1909, with approximately 450 items.

  • THE ARTIST and the ENTERTAINERS: EMMANUEL CHABRIER and HIS IMITATORS by MARY HELEN STILL (Under the Direction of Dorothea Link)
    THE ARTIST AND THE ENTERTAINERS: EMMANUEL CHABRIER AND HIS IMITATORS by MARY HELEN STILL (Under the Direction of Dorothea Link) ABSTRACT Composed by Emmanuel Chabrier in 1877, the opera L’Étoile quickly become fodder for “borrowing” by American and British musical comedy collaborators. An American adaptation by Woolson Morse, The Merry Monarch, was produced in 1890, and a British adaptation by Ivan Caryll, The Lucky Star, was produced in London in 1899. Each subsequent version is in no way simply a translation or reproduction of L’Étoile; these are adaptations in a broad sense, with little Chabrier left at all. It is the purpose of this thesis to demonstrate by means of this case study how the musical comedy genre and the popular music industry of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries made use of an established and canonic genre, opera, by investigating what is appropriated and what is not valued in this borrowing process.
