Filumena and the Canadian Identity a Research Into the Essence of Canadian Opera
Filumena and The Canadian Identity A Research into the Essence of Canadian Opera Alexandria Scout Parks Final thesis for the Bmus-program Icelandic Academy of the Arts Music department May 2020 Filumena and The Canadian Identity A Research into the Essence of Canadian Opera Alexandria Scout Parks Final Thesis for the Bmus-program Supervisor: Atli Ingólfsson Music Department May 2020 This thesis is a 6 ECTS final thesis for the B.Mus program. You may not copy this thesis in any way without consent from the author. Abstract In this thesis I sought to identify the essence of Canadian opera and to explore how the opera Filumena exemplifies that essence. My goal was to first establish what is unique about Canadian opera. To do this, I started by looking into the history of opera composition and performance in Canada. By tracing these two interlocking histories, I was able to gather a sense of the major bodies of work within the Canadian opera repertoire. I was, as well, able to deeper understand the evolution, and at some points, stagnation of Canadian opera by examining major contributing factors within this history. My next steps were to identify trends that arose within the history of opera composition in Canada. A closer look at many of the major works allowed me to see the similarities in terms of things such as subject matter. An important trend that I intend to explain further is the use of Canadian subject matter as the basis of the operas’ narratives. This telling of Canadian stories is one aspect unique to Canadian opera. -

Saison 2013/2014 Grußwort
Saison 2013/2014 Grußwort Liebe Musikfreunde, liebe Konzertbesucher, unsere Konzertreihe im Von-Busch-Hof gibt es nun schon mehr als zehn Jahre. Wir freuen uns über den hohen Bekannt- heitsgrad der Konzertreihe weit über die engere Region hinaus. In jeder Saison ist es uns gelungen, mit erstklassigen Künstlern beeindruckende Konzerte zu veranstalten. Von Anfang an spielte Kammermusik eine wichtige Rolle: Unsere Besucher konnten immer wieder faszinierend schöne klassische Musik erleben. Mit Schuberts “Forellenquintett” und dem Liederzyklus “Die Winterreise” erklingen in dieser Saison zwei der bekanntesten Werke der klassischen Musik. Aber auch für das Amüsement in der Neujahrsgala beim Hören und Wiedererkennen von beliebten Schlagern und von brillant gespielter Filmmusik des letzten Jahrhunderts schwärmen viele. Das fabelhafte Schellack-Orchester mit seinen Solisten entfes- selt dabei jedesmal Beifallsstürme. Interessante Kinderkonzerte, eines im November, das andere im Februar, fehlen auch in dieser Saison natürlich nicht. Ganz sicher werden Joseph Moog am Klavier und das Busch- Hof Consort im abschließenden Open Air Konzert der Saison mit der Darbietung von drei Klavierkonzerten einen triumpha- len Schlusspunkt setzen. Die gute Akustik im Saal und im Innenhof, dazu das stilvolle und behagliche Ambiente des Von-Busch-Hofs wird von vielen Besuchern gerühmt und ist eine angenehme und erfreuliche Beigabe zu den Konzerten. Künstler, die bei uns auftreten, sind immer wieder angetan von dem charmanten Veranstaltungsort, aber in demselben Maße auch von dem interessierten und aufmerksamen Publikum. Wir sind stolz auf das Erreichte. Unser Bestreben ist, auch in Zukunft unsere Zuhörerschaft mit einem anspruchsvollen Programm zu begeistern. Wir wünschen Ihnen schöne und erquickliche Stunden im Von-Busch-Hof. -
