And this is a requirement that art repeatedly demands, too. The mysterious Tmetamorphosis of the ugly caterpillar into the magnificent butterfly has sti- mulated man’s imagination from time immemorial. Everyone who watches Where does a butterfly is struck by its beauty, elegance and lightness. The ancient ability to think in images and symbols is inside each one of us – and in the world of opera, too. The opera is a treasure-house of the music call the tune? irrational. It unfolds “our imagination’s most beautiful alternative world.” Mozart himself confessed, “I need only to hear talk about opera, I need only to be in the theatre and hear voices – it suffices to transport me utterly.” The Theater an der Wien, the new opera house, is aiding a development in our city that no one can now fail to notice: more and more people with an interest in culture, and younger people too, are going to the opera! They are looking for a space where dreams and longings can unfold freely with great emotion and even pathos – and the opera provides a meeting place for them: everything appears bathed in “bright” light, and in this light one is drawn in by enchanting sounds.

  • EN Bad Schussenried, 02-2021 Met Stars Live In
    SONYA YONCHEVA Press Review – EN Bad Schussenried, 02-2021 Met Stars Live in Concert “Bad Schussenried. It is a ballroom of knowledge: the magnificently decorated and stuccoed library hall of the Premonstratensian monastery in Bad Schussenried. Very catholic, very rococo, wonderful bookcases and a ceiling fresco of the colorfully transfigured divine wisdom. Which is why here a few years ago the great writer Martin Walser presented his novel “Muttersohn” in an original reading for television. The “Swabian Spring” festival used to play here, and the concert by the legendary Guarneri Quartet from New York has never been forgotten. But now you can experience great opera there - which is no empty phrase and has a lot to do with New York. The Metropolitan Opera, which is closed during the pandemic, has launched the online series "Met Stars Live in Concert": concerts from special locations, broadcast worldwide as live stream, and in HD quality. At the beginning of February, for example, Anna Netrebko sang at the Vienna Riding School. And on Saturday, soprano Sonya Yoncheva appeared in the superbly illuminated library of the Schussenried monastery. The performance of the Bulgarian soprano can be watched for two weeks for 20 Dollars on the metopera.org website. The great aria “Ritorna vincitor!” From Aida, Rusalka's “Song to the Moon”, “Habanera” from Carmen - it's a one and a half hour best-of program. It is of course not very grand opera, because it is only accompanied by a piano (pianist: Julien Quentin). The Met itself makes the painful absence of the orchestra aware: During the stream, two scenes with Yoncheva from original productions are being faded in, Desdemona's Ave Maria and the duet Tosca / Scarpia.

  • French Stewardship of Jazz: the Case of France Musique and France Culture
    ABSTRACT Title: FRENCH STEWARDSHIP OF JAZZ: THE CASE OF FRANCE MUSIQUE AND FRANCE CULTURE Roscoe Seldon Suddarth, Master of Arts, 2008 Directed By: Richard G. King, Associate Professor, Musicology, School of Music The French treat jazz as “high art,” as their state radio stations France Musique and France Culture demonstrate. Jazz came to France in World War I with the US army, and became fashionable in the 1920s—treated as exotic African- American folklore. However, when France developed its own jazz players, notably Django Reinhardt and Stéphane Grappelli, jazz became accepted as a universal art. Two well-born Frenchmen, Hugues Panassié and Charles Delaunay, embraced jazz and propagated it through the Hot Club de France. After World War II, several highly educated commentators insured that jazz was taken seriously. French radio jazz gradually acquired the support of the French government. This thesis describes the major jazz programs of France Musique and France Culture, particularly the daily programs of Alain Gerber and Arnaud Merlin, and demonstrates how these programs display connoisseurship, erudition, thoroughness, critical insight, and dedication. France takes its “stewardship” of jazz seriously.
