By foregrounding the role of the audience in creating meaning and by minimizing the “show” as a coherent work, I reconnect musicals to their roots in comedy by way of Mikhail Bakhtin’s theories of carnival and reduced laughter. The audiences I study are kids, queers, and collectors, an alliterative set of people whose gender identities and expressions all depart from or fall outside of the normative binary. Focusing on these audiences, whose musical comedy fandom is widely acknowledged but little studied, I follow Raymond Knapp and Stacy Wolf to demonstrate that musical comedy provides a forum for identity formation especially for these problematically gendered audiences. ii The dissertation of Samuel Dworkin Baltimore is approved.

  • Dame Joan Hammond (1912-1966) 2
    AUSTRALIAN EPHEMERA COLLECTION FINDING AID DAME JOAN HILDA HOOD HAMMOND (1912-1996) PERFORMING ARTS PROGRAMS AND EPHEMERA (PROMPT) PRINTED AUSTRALIANA JULY 2018 Dame Joan Hilda Hood Hammond, DBE, CMG (24 May 1912 – 26 November 1996) was a New Zealand born Australian operatic soprano, singing coach and champion golfer. She toured widely, and became noted particularly for her Puccini roles, and appeared in the major opera houses of the world – the Royal Opera House Covent Garden, La Scala, the Vienna State Opera and the Bolshoi. Her fame in Britain came not just from her stage appearances but from her recordings. A prolific artist, Hammond's repertoire encompassed Verdi, Handel, Tchaikovsky, Massenet, Beethoven, as well as folk song, art song, and lieder. She returned to Australia for concert tours in 1946, 1949 and 1953, and starred in the second Elizabethan Theatre Trust opera season in 1957. She undertook world concert tours between 1946 and 1961. She became patron and a life member of the Victorian Opera Company (since 1976, the Victorian State Opera – VSO), and was the VSO's artistic director from 1971 until 1976 and remained on the board until 1985. Working with the then General Manager, Peter Burch, she invited the young conductor Richard Divall to become the company's Musical Director in 1972. She joined the Victorian Council of the Arts, was a member of the Australia Council for the Arts opera advisory panel, and was an Honorary Life Member of Opera Australia. She was important to the success of both the VSO and Opera Australia. Hammond embarked on a second career as a voice teacher after her performance career ended.

  • Decca Discography
    DECCA DISCOGRAPHY >>2 GREAT BRITAIN: ffrr, 1944-57 In a business where exclusive contracts were the norm, it was very difficult for a newcomer to become established and Decca’s initial roster of classical artists was unable to compete with established rivals. In March 1932 an agreement with Polydor provided access to a substantial catalogue of German artists and a year later the company virtually abandoned classical recording to concentrate on dance bands. The move to Thames Street Studios provided more scope for orchestral sessions and a bold policy of recording contemporary British music enhanced the label’s reputation. The newly formed Boyd Neel Orchestra was signed up in 1934, followed by the Griller String Quartet in 1935, Clifford Curzon in 1937, Peter Pears in 1944, Kathleen Ferrier in 1946 and Julius Katchen in 1947. War broke the link with Polydor, leaving Decca with a respectable catalogue of chamber music, but little symphonic repertoire. Armed with ffrr technology, the company began to remedy this in 1944, engaging Sidney Beer’s National Symphony Orchestra until 1947 and the misleadingly named New Symphony Orchestra (it had made its first recordings in 1909) from 1948. Neither developed into a house band to rival EMI’s Philharmonia and, with the Royal Philharmonic also exclusive to EMI, Decca had to resort to the LSO and the LPO, both in rather run-down condition in the post-war years. Meanwhile every opportunity was taken to impress visiting continental orchestras with ffrr sessions and it was evident that the company intended to transfer much of its symphonic work to Paris, Amsterdam, Geneva and Vienna as soon as practicable.

At that time the late James Burnett was especially helpful in providing dates for the L’Oiseau-Lyre recordings that he produced. More information was obtained from additional paperwork in association with Richard Alston for his book published to celebrate the conductor’s 70 th birthday in 1997. John Hunt’s most valuable discography devoted to the Staatskapelle Dresden was again helpful. Further updating has been undertaken in addition to the generous assistance of Philip Stuart via his LSO discography which he compiled for the Orchestra’s centenary in 2004 and has kept updated. Inevitably there are a number of missing credits for producers and engineers in the earliest years as these facts no longer survive. Additionally some exact dates have not been tracked down.

    ~01~ Sargent Pristine PASC S2S XR conducts Elgar PASC 525 Elgar's Cello Concerto was the composer's last substantial piece. Written in 1919, in the aftermath of LW the first world war, the piece is often regarded by critics as contemplative and reflective- of Britain emerging from a period of terrible sacrifice. Unlike many of Elgar's previous compositions the cello ~J1.l!J concerto was not an immediate success, and while it did not languish in complete obscurity (several recordings were made, including two by Elgar), it failed to become part of the mainstream concert repertoire. The person most responsible for changing that was Jacqueline du Pre. A musical prodigy, she made her recital debut in 1961 aged just 16, and chose the Elgar Cello Concerto for her full orchestral debut at the Royal Festival Hall in March 1962. cello concerto The critical reception of her concert debut was universally positive and she performed the same jacqueline du pre c c·llo work with Adrian Boult at the Chester Festival in June, before making her proms debut under her 1962 proms debut Malcolm Sargent in August. Clearly du Pre's reputation had preceded her as the concert was a sell­ out, something the Times thought was remarkable since a programme consisting entirely of modern English music was usually regarded 'as an invitation to bankruptcy.' Accepting that Du Pre was evidently a 'remarkable interpreter' what really struck the critics was that despite being only 17 'her attitude to Elgar's concerto was that of a thinking adult and not of an intuitively musical child.' In particular her fresh approach meant that the more self-reflective sections were 'free from all the unappetizing self-indulgence that can be the failing of the piece.' the dream of gerontius It is no exaggeration to say that du Pre is largely responsible for restoring Elgar's Cello Concerto to marjorie thomas c cwt1c1ltc1 the mainstream concert programme.
