    On Opera (On Opera) Self-Referential Negotiations of a Difficult Genre

    Opera on Opera (on Opera) Self-Referential Negotiations of a Difficult Genre Frieder von Ammon, Munich This paper focuses on metaopera as a distinctive dramatic genre and examines it from both a systematic and a historical perspective. It is demonstrated that, due to its specific structural complexity, metaopera is located at the very centre of the wide field of ‘Self-Reference in Literature and Music’. It is through music that in metaopera the potential for dramatic meta-communication is considerably higher than in purely verbal drama. Furthermore, metaopera is a subject worthy of close study also for the cultural historian as, from its very beginnings, opera has contin- uously been a self-reflexive genre. Thus operas, as metaoperas, frequently tell the story of the cultural development of opera itself. Such metareferential conditions are demonstrated in this paper by a close analysis of Hofmannsthal and Strauss’ Ariadne auf Naxos, which, in the light of earlier metaoperas, is interpreted as an example of meta-metaopera representing operatic metareferentiality to the highest degree. The 7th of February, 1786, is an important date in the history of self- reference in literature and music. In honour of the Low Countries’ general governor, Duke August of Sachsen-Teschen, and his wife, the German emperor, Joseph II, had arranged a special event for this day. It took place in the orangery of Castle Schönbrunn in Vienna, for that was the only room with an appropriate heating system, and it bore the beautiful title ‘Frühlingsfest an einem Wintertag’ (‘Spring Festival on a Winter’s Day’). One is, however, tempted to speak of a ‘Festival of Self-Reference’ instead.

    Misconceptions of the “Comic” Genre in Opera

    DOI: 10.31722/ejmd.584420 EJMD / 2019 (14), 239-248 OPERADA BİR TÜR OLARAK “KOMİK” KAVRAMINA İLİŞKİN YANILSAMALAR Misconceptions of the “Comic” Genre in Opera * Mehmet GİRGİN ** Ebru GÜNER CANBEY ÖZ Opera tarihi içerisinde İtalya’da opera seria ve opera buffa konusal ve yapısal farklılıklar gösteren iki farklı türdür. Bu iki ana tür arasından opera buffa, “gülünçlü (komik) opera” türü olarak nitelendirilmiş, uygulama ve stil açısından farklılıklar içererek ciddi üsluba karşıt olarak gelişen ve farklı ülkelerde farklı isimlerle tanımlanan operaların bu tür içine dâhil edildiği bir üst başlık haline gelmiştir. Öte yandan Fransa’da varlığını sürdüren “opéra comique (opera komik)” kavramının betimlediği tür, adında geçen “komik” sözcüğünden kaynaklı bir kavram kargaşası yaratmaktadır. Komik kelimesinin akıllarda “güldürü” çağrıştırmasına rağmen opéra comique (opera komik) türü içerisine giren birçok operanın “güldüren” nitelikte olmaması, kavram için açıklama yapılması ihtiyacını doğurmuştur. Bu çalışma gülünçlü (komik) opera kavramının altında toplanan farklı dillerdeki tanımlamaların yarattığı kavram kargaşasına ışık tutarak, 18. yüzyıldan günümüze kadar halen en çok tercih edilen opera türü olan opéra comique (opera komik) türünün anlaşılabilmesine fayda sağlamaktadır. Anahtar Kelimeler: Opera, opera türleri, komik opera, opera buffa, opéra comique ABSTRACT In the history of opera, in Italy, opera seria and opera buffa are the two different opera genres that differ thematically and structurally. Of these two main genres, opera buffa has been described as “comic opera”, and has become a main title among the operas that are different in terms of practice and style are developed as opposed to the serious style and defined with different names in different countries are included. On the other hand, the genre defined as “opéra comique” in France creates a conceptual confusion due to the use of the word “comic”.

    Small-Scale Opera: History and Continuing Relevance in the 21St Century

    SMALL-SCALE OPERA: HISTORY AND CONTINUING RELEVANCE IN THE 21ST CENTURY Joel B. Trisel A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF MUSIC May 2015 Committee: Katherine Meizel, Advisor Christopher Scholl Kevin Bylsma ii ABSTRACT Katherine Meizel, Advisor This paper explores the history and recent rise in popularity of small-scale opera. Small- scale opera, originally referred to as chamber opera, and recently referred to as “Micro-opera”, “NANOWorks”, et cetera, has gained popularity in the past forty years due to artistic and financial reasons. The genre reflects the need for companies to find financially viable ways to continue to produce and perform classical music in a poor economic climate. The short length and relatively simple plots of the works in this genre also reflect the shift in media consumption on a broad level in the United States. While the genre is growing in popularity today, it has ties to historical practices, including some of the first documented operas written in the Baroque period. This paper provides a historical account of iterations of small-scale opera and culminates in interviews with professionals working in the field today. Through my research, I conclude that the genre is likely to succeed in the 21st century. This is due to the financial viability small-scale opera affords to both those producing and attending these works. Small-scale opera provides composers with a flexible medium in which they can explore writing sung drama that is substantially more likely to be produced than full-length works.
  • The Birth of an Opera

    The Birth of an Opera

    THE BIRTH OF AN OPERA FIFTEEN MASTERPIECES from POPPEA TO WOZZECK Michael Rose IV • %'V • Norton & Company New York London Il Barbiere di Siviglia H E FIRST PERFORMANCE of Rossini's Barber was one of the great fiascos of operatic history. Yet only eight months earlier its composer had taken the first big step in what was to be the most daz- zling operatic career of the early nineteenth century. When Gioacchino Rossini arrived in Naples on 27 June 1815, he was twenty-three years old, he had fourteen operas to his credit, and he had never been this far from home in his life. Born in Pesaro and brought up in Bologna, his early successes had been largely confined to Venice and Milan, and the political divisions of the peninsula, recently reinstated after the Napoleonic interregnum, imposed at least two national borders between the Hapsburg regions of Lombardy and Venetia and the Bour- bon Kingdom of the Two Sicilies. But the Italian passion for opera had no respect for political frontiers and already Rossini was being spoken of across Italy as the latest operatic phenomenon. Since Naples had been for a century and a half one of the most important, perhaps the most influen- tial, of Italian centres of operatic activity, the appointment of this stripling from the north as director of its royal theatres raised eager anticipation (and not a few eyebrows) as well as opening a new chapter in Rossini's life. But Italian opera in the early nineteenth century was a cutthroat business. The Neapolitan contract did not tie him exclusively to Naples, and now that he had freed himself from the Venice-Milan axis of earlier years, Rossini was keen to exploit the new possibilities of his position.
