    What’s all the About? Screaming , r, 2014, r,License Creative Commons Walker and1983 Company, TITLEFake CREDIT: headline, banner Roger Englander Photo by Cliff Oliver Hubbardfor Theate Hall Opera Opera Vancouver at Tim Matheson by Photo Production Misguided Society Belle Succumbs After Too Many Parties by Jill Leahy Music by Giuseppe Verdi La traviata Some speculate that the opera La traviata could be called the original Pretty Woman , recalling the story of the 1990 film. One of the movie’s famous scenes depicts Edward (Richard Gere) and Vivian (Julia Roberts) at the Libretto by Francesco Maria Piave opera, watching a performance of La traviata, and Vivian is brought to tears. As the viewers, we’re meant to see the similarity between the movie and the opera—a courtesan falling in love with a wealthy suiter. But in Verdi's day, fiery romances at the opera often didn't turn out so well. It’s useful to remember that in 18th- and 19th- century Europe, operas were a popular form of entertainment, similar to our movies today. Verdi based his oper a on the play, The Lady of the Camellias, a thinly-veiled autobiographical account by Alexandre Dumas fils, about his love affair with a Parisian courtesan in the mid 1800s. Verdi fought the Italian censors to set the opera in his present day and was also willing to take on Italian conservatives who disapproved of his living with a woman he had not married. However, opera Giuseppe Verdi companies insisted on setting the story in the early (1813 –1901) 1700s and, famously, the 1853 premiere was not Giovanni Boldini's 1886 successful, partly due to bad singing, and partly portrait of Verdi hangs in due to audience reaction to the change in setting.

    H-France Review Volume 18 (2018) Page 1 H-France Review Vol. 18 (March 2018), No. 52 René Weis, The real Traviata. The Song of Marie Duplessis. Oxford and New York: Oxford University Press, 2015. xvi + 416. Preface, figures, notes, references, picture credits, index. £25.00 UK, $39.95 U.S. (hb). ISBN 978-0-19-870854-4. Reviewed by Dr Alessandra Palidda, Cardiff University. Weis’s book constitutes the latest and most comprehensive outcome of the interest already surrounding the figure of Marie Duplessis for quite a number of years. As the title suggests, Marie (or, better, Alphonsine) embodies the rather rare case of a real-life character inspiring not only a major writer’s work, but also what the author himself considers “probably the best loved opera in the world” (p. 1). In the case of an operatic work that has almost completely displaced its literary sources, the interest towards the real “fallen woman” has already produced quite significant fruits, both in English and, most notably, in French. Weis’s book not only operates a comprehensive summary of the existing literature produced around the figure of Duplessis in her links to both Dumas and Verdi (see the extensive bibliography), but also supplements it with what can be considered the most extensive research ever carried out specifically on this figure. The amount and variety of sources used is astonishing, from spa police records in Baden-Baden to cartographical documents of mid-nineteenth-century Paris, from the detailed descriptions of the places visited by Duplessis herself to a varied palette of precious iconographical sources (see also the detailed acknowledgements at the beginning and the references and index at the end).

THE REMEDIATION OF DUMAS FILS' LA DAME AUX CAMÉLIAS by BRANDI L. GUINED Under the Direction of Emily Bloom ABSTRACT Alexandre Dumas fils’ La Dame aux Camélias has existed in various media for more than 150 years, originating from life events that were mediated through the novel and remediated via theater, opera, and film. I examine in my thesis how this particular narrative has survived the centuries and how each depiction relates the social expectations, desires, and fears of the time period in which the revised story is generated. The relationship between Dumas and the famous courtesan Marie Duplessis and its fictional recreations in Dumas’ novel La Dame aux Camélias, his play Camille, Giuseppe Verdi’s opera La Traviata, and Baz Luhrmann’s film Moulin Rouge! reflects a human compulsion to create narratives in order to grasp daily events and to potentially escape those events or comment upon those which do not fit concisely into their socially expected codes of understanding.

Take some interesting people, add in a little adventure, some love, or even some hate; put it all in an interesting place, and maybe an interesting time, and you’ve got a story fit for an opera. Opera is drama. Take the story you’ve chosen and put the words into dialogue for actors to say. Tell the story in a creative way and add in some heroes and heroines or queens and kings. Maybe a monster—or four. Make sure there is a clear conflict in the story that the characters must overcome. Put your actors in costumes and makeup, and put them on a stage with some great scenery in order to illuminate the characters. Opera is music. Write some fantastic music for your play. Instead of having the actors speak, have them sing…everything! When they get really happy or mad, have them sing high and loud! When they are trying to express an important emotion, let them sing something longer to show off a little.

Cette longue expérience qui a déjà touché près de 45 000 enfants, m’a permis de mettre en lumière l’importance essentielle de cette transmission culturelle. Parce que je suis intimement persuadée que, dans la vie, tout est affaire de hasard ou d’opportunité, parce que je sais que certaines rencontres seront décisives, qu’elles pourront infléchir le cours d’une destinée et agir comme une véritable révélation, je me suis attachée à mettre en place les meilleures conditions pour que le rendez-vous entre l’œuvre et l’enfant ait lieu. La formation à l’opéra que je propose, en collaboration étroite avec les enseignants vise à développer l’intelligence sensible des enfants. L’opéra, ce domaine élitiste et réputé difficile d’accès, devient alors pour eux aussi évident et merveilleux que les contes des mille et une nuits.

  • Fallen Woman” Flora Willson
    The rise and rise of Verdi’s “fallen woman” Flora Willson The genesis of operatic works – especially of those that later became firmly anchored in the repertory – has often been the subject of mythmaking by their creators and admirers alike. Think of Wagner’s claim that the shimmering Eb major opening of Das Rheingold came to him in a dream; or of Verdi’s moment of revelation as the draft libretto for Nabucco, so carelessly tossed to one side, fell open at the magical line “Va pensiero, sull’ali dorate”. Indeed, even in comparison with Wagner – surely the nineteenth century’s most avidly self-mythologising composer – Verdi was a master of the genre, frequently touching up details of his earlier life and career with the benefit of hindsight. Witness the creation of the peasant boy from Busseto, battling adversity to make good on the international stage, or the Risorgimento figurehead, speaking to “the people” and sowing the seeds of Italian unification in his earliest works. Amidst such tales of Verdi as a political and cultural revolutionary, the myths that collected around La traviata stand out in one obvious way: their focus is on the composer’s personal life, and certainly had no assistance from Verdi himself. In particular, commentators have long sought parallels between the opera’s story of love at odds with bourgeois morality and Verdi’s own relationship with Giuseppina Strepponi, his live-in partner from the late 1840s onwards, whom he agreed to marry only a decade later, in 1859. An acclaimed soprano (she was the first Abigaille in Nabucco), Strepponi attracted the same rumours of moral misconduct and subsequently tarnished reputation that accrued around many women appearing professionally on stage during the nineteenth century.
