1 FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Dear Friends, The impact HPAF has had on the many tens of thousands of artists, patrons, and members of our community, has far surpassed all conceivable expectations since our founding STAY IN TUNE. in 2005.

This season, we celebrate. We celebrate the stories that have been shared on our beautiful island for fifteen remarkable years—the same stories that have helped inspire, lift, and encourage so many. We celebrate the artists who, following their time with us, have gone onto significant careers as singers, actors, orchestral musicians, stage directors, conductors, and teachers— the same artists who regularly grace some of the world’s greatest stages and lead many of the nation’s most prestigious university and conservatory programs. We celebrate the community, each of you, our ohana—the same people who have helped lay our roots, cultivate our growth, and establish our footprint within the local, national, and international nā kaiaulu.

    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.

    Donizetti's Gemma Di Vergy in London

    Donizetti’s Gemma di Vergy in London Russell Burdekin, March, 2018 Donizetti’s Gemma di Vergy is probably best known today for the recording featuring Montserrat Caballé in a concert performance at Carnegie Hall, New York, on March 14, 1976 that stemmed from a production the previous December in Naples. It has since been staged at Bergamo in 1987 and 2011. The Society’s website recently received an email from a singer considering staging it in London and enquiring about its past performance history in the UK. In fact it has only been staged here once, in 1842, but the reactions to that throw an interesting light on performance priorities and on attitudes to Donizetti in mid-19th century Britain. In the decade or so following its premiere at La Scala, Milan, on December 26, 1834, Gemma was one of Donizetti’s most successful operas in Italy and was staged in several other countries. It fell out of favour along with so many bel canto operas in the latter half of the 19th century and was not revived until the 1975 Naples production. Its British production was at Her Majesty’s Theatre, London, on March 12, 1842 where it continued to be performed for the best part of a month. Gemma was Adelaide Moltini, Ida di Greville – Madame Bellini, Conte di Vergy – Signor Santi, Tomas – Signor Guasco, Rolando – Signor Galli and Guido - Signor Panzini. The cast was not well known in Britain, only Madame Bellini and Signor Galli having appeared here previously. Benjamin Lumley, who was Her Majesty’s Theatre manager at the time, wrote that the opera was the choice of the singers rather than his and reflects how singers were the main force in opera at this time (Reminiscences of the opera.
