Upton, the veteran critic and 'editor, says of the Cincinnati festi­ I vals: "They have been a continuous success, and have steadily grown in importance as ,expositions of the higher mus~c and indices of its growth. I have attended all of these but two, and have seen the steady advance from their modest beginning to the highest standard of musical perfection in this country. They have always seemed to me the crowning achievement in Mr. Thomas's career. The people of Cincinnati do not even yet know how greatly he prized these festivals or how great was the pang when he laid down the baton at the clos-e of the festival of 1904, knowing that it was his last one. Cincinnati has every reason to be proud of its May Festivals and the great influence they have had upon musical progress in the Middle West." Speaking of the festival of 1904, he says: "Never were more exacting programs laid out for players and sing,ers than these. It is doubtful whether they could have found elsewhere in this country the appreciation which was given them in Cincinnati. It was Mr. Thomas's ambition to gIve biennial festivals in New York and Chicago as well as 15 THE FESTIVALS. in Cincinnati utilizing the same material for each. The scheme was d~opped in N ew York after the first festival, and in ChicagD after the second. Cincinnati alone was able to continue them even aft,er their founder and master spirit had passed away.' The atmosphere of Cincinnati is musical. It has always had musical pride and ambition, and noW it has musical traditions and prestige which it evidently is deter­ mined not to sacrifice." In the cours'e of an extended article on the Cincinnati festi­ vals, Grove's Dictionary of Music and Musicians, the standard English authority, says: "The most notable of the regular recurring musical meetings in the United Stat,es are those held biennially in Cincinnati, .ohio.

    Parsifal and Canada: a Documentary Study

    Parsifal and Canada: A Documentary Study The Canadian Opera Company is preparing to stage Parsifal in Toronto for the first time in 115 years; seven performances are planned for the Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts from September 25 to October 18, 2020. Restrictions on public gatherings imposed as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic have placed the production in jeopardy. Wagnerians have so far suffered the cancellation of the COC’s Flying Dutchman, Chicago Lyric Opera’s Ring cycle and the entire Bayreuth Festival for 2020. It will be a hard blow if the COC Parsifal follows in the footsteps of a projected performance of Parsifal in Montreal over 100 years ago. Quinlan Opera Company from England, which mounted a series of 20 operas in Montreal in the spring of 1914 (including a complete Ring cycle), announced plans to return in the fall of 1914 for another feast of opera, including Parsifal. But World War One intervened, the Parsifal production was cancelled, and the Quinlan company went out of business. Let us hope that history does not repeat itself.1 While we await news of whether the COC production will be mounted, it is an opportune time to reflect on Parsifal and its various resonances in Canadian music history. This article will consider three aspects of Parsifal and Canada: 1) a performance history, including both excerpts and complete presentations; 2) remarks on some Canadian singers who have sung Parsifal roles; and 3) Canadian scholarship on Parsifal.

    Wagner’s Parsifal by Roger Scruton review – in defence of the insufferable | Books | The Guardian 30/05/2020, 09:31 Wagner’s Parsifal by Roger Scruton review 8 in defence of the insufferable Nietzsche famously called Wagner’s last opera poisonous, but does its theme of redemption offer an antidote to our ills? Stuart Jeffries Sat 30 May 2020 07.30 BST An English National Opera production of Parsifal. Photograph: Tristram Kenton/The Guardian In his 1998 book On Hunting, Roger Scruton defended the unspeakable in pursuit of the uneatable. In his last, now posthumously published book, the philosopher who died in January stands up for the unbearable responsible for the insufferable. The unbearable? The megalomaniac, narcissistic, antisemitic monster Richard Wagner. And the insufferable? The life-hating curse on the senses that was his last opera. So at least argued Nietzsche, who damned Wagner’s Parsifal with the histrionics only a former devotee can muster. “Parsifal,” he snarled in the essay “Nietzsche Contra Wagner”, “is a work of perfidy, of vindictiveness, of a secret attempt to poison the presuppositions of life – a bad work.” Parsifal, which received its premiere at Bayreuth in 1882, unfolds in an unsavoury twilight milieu of death, curdling blood and toxic sex. The castle of Montsalvat is home to a community of grimly celibate knights who guard the Holy Grail, a chalice holding the blood https://www.theguardian.com/books/2020/may/30/wagners-parsifal-by-roger-scruton-review-in-defence-of-the-insufferable Page 1 of 4 Wagner’s Parsifal by Roger Scruton review – in defence of the insufferable | Books | The Guardian 30/05/2020, 09:31 of Christ collected after the crucifixion, along with the Holy Lance with which he was pierced.

    From Page to Stage: Wagner As Regisseur

    Wagner Ia 5/27/09 3:55 PM Page 3 Copyrighted Material From Page to Stage: Wagner as Regisseur KATHERINE SYER Nowadays we tend to think of Richard Wagner as an opera composer whose ambitions and versatility extended beyond those of most musicians. From the beginning of his career he assumed the role of his own librettist, and he gradually expanded his sphere of involvement to include virtually all aspects of bringing an opera to the stage. If we focus our attention on the detailed dramatic scenarios he created as the bases for his stage works, we might well consider Wagner as a librettist whose ambitions extended rather unusually to the area of composition. In this light, Wagner could be considered alongside other theater poets who paid close attention to pro- duction matters, and often musical issues as well.1 The work of one such figure, Eugène Scribe, formed the foundation of grand opera as it flour- ished in Paris in the second quarter of the nineteenth century. Wagner arrived in this operatic epicenter in the fall of 1839 with work on his grand opera Rienzi already under way, but his prospects at the Opéra soon waned. The following spring, Wagner sent Scribe a dramatic scenario for a shorter work hoping that the efforts of this famous librettist would help pave his way to success. Scribe did not oblige. Wagner eventually sold the scenario to the Opéra, but not before transforming it into a markedly imaginative libretto for his own use.2 Wagner’s experience of operatic stage produc- tion in Paris is reflected in many aspects of the libretto of Der fliegende Holländer, the beginning of an artistic vision that would draw him increas- ingly deeper into the world of stage direction and production.

    122 a Century of Grand Opera in Philadelphia. Music Is As Old As The

    122 A Century of Grand Opera in Philadelphia. A CENTURY OF GRAND OPERA IN PHILADELPHIA. A Historical Summary read before the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, Monday Evening, January 12, 1920. BY JOHN CURTIS. Music is as old as the world itself; the Drama dates from before the Christian era. Combined in the form of Grand Opera as we know it today they delighted the Florentines in the sixteenth century, when Peri gave "Dafne" to the world, although the ancient Greeks listened to great choruses as incidents of their comedies and tragedies. Started by Peri, opera gradually found its way to France, Germany, and through Europe. It was the last form of entertainment to cross the At- lantic to the new world, and while some works of the great old-time composers were heard in New York, Charleston and New Orleans in the eighteenth century, Philadelphia did not experience the pleasure until 1818 was drawing to a close, and so this city rounded out its first century of Grand Opera a little more than a year ago. But it was a century full of interest and incident. In those hundred years Philadelphia heard 276 different Grand Operas. Thirty of these were first heard in America on a Philadelphia stage, and fourteen had their first presentation on any stage in this city. There were times when half a dozen travelling companies bid for our patronage each season; now we have one. One year Mr. Hinrichs gave us seven solid months of opera, with seven performances weekly; now we are permitted to attend sixteen performances a year, unless some wandering organization cares to take a chance with us.

ELGAR SOCIETY JOURNAL ISSN 0143 - 1269 « ELGAR & GERONTIUS: the early performances Lewis Foreman Part II Ludwig Wiillner We should note that there were two Wullners. Ludwig was the singer and actor; Franz was his father, the Director of the Cologne Conservatoire and conductor of the Gurzenich Concerts. He was there at Diisseldorf and promised to consider Gerontius for a concert in 1902, but I cannot trace that it ever took place. We need to consider Ludwig Wullner, for he would sing Gerontius again on two further key occasions, the second Diisseldorf performance at the Lower Rhine Festival in May 1902, and then in London at Westminster Cathedral in June 1903, as well as the Liverpool premiere in March 1903.
