NEWSLETTER of the American Handel Society
NEWSLETTER of The American Handel Society Volume XVIII, Number 1 April 2003 A PILGRIMAGE TO IOWA As I sat in the United Airways terminal of O’Hare International Airport, waiting for the recently bankrupt carrier to locate and then install an electric starter for the no. 2 engine, my mind kept returning to David Lodge’s description of the modern academic conference. In Small World (required airport reading for any twenty-first century academic), Lodge writes: “The modern conference resembles the pilgrimage of medieval Christendom in that it allows the participants to indulge themselves in all the pleasures and diversions of travel while appearing to be austerely bent on self-improvement.” He continues by listing the “penitential exercises” which normally accompany the enterprise, though, oddly enough, he omits airport delays. To be sure, the companionship in the terminal (which included nearly a dozen conferees) was anything but penitential, still, I could not help wondering if the delay was prophecy or merely a glitch. The Maryland Handel Festival was a tough act to follow and I, and perhaps others, were apprehensive about whether Handel in Iowa would live up to the high standards set by its august predecessor. In one way the comparison is inappropriate. By the time I started attending the Maryland conference (in the early ‘90’s), it was a first-rate operation, a Cadillac among festivals. Comparing a one-year event with a two-decade institution is unfair, though I am sure in the minds of many it was inevitable. Fortunately, I feel that the experience in Iowa compared very favorably with what many of us had grown accustomed Frontispiece from William Coxe, Anecdotes fo George Frederick Handel and John Christopher Smith to in Maryland. -

Tema 7. Escenografía
WAGNERIANA CASTELLANA Nº 53 AÑO 2005 TEMA 7. ESCENOGRAFÍA TÍTULO: “REGIETHEATER”, EL VENENO DE LA OPERA AUTOR: Marcel Prawy “Las palabras bellas no son verdad, las palabras veraces no son bellas.” Esto es lo que cree Lao- Tse. “Regietheater” es un teatro dictado y dominado por el regidor. Esto es para el mundo de la ópera lo que el Sida para el cuerpo humano. Es deber del regidor contar clara y comprensible, al público de hoy, la obra creada por el autor. Cuando lo cuenta de manera incomprensible, si cabe más incomprensible que la pieza misma, ha fracasado. Cuando cuenta la obra de manera diferente a como el autor la ha previsto – cuando según su antojo cambia el contenido de la pieza – engaña al público y este tiene derecho a pedir que le devuelvan el dinero de la entrada. La libertad artística del regidor, en su proyecto visual, tiene los mismos límites que tiene el director de orquesta ante la música. La puesta en escena ha tenido siempre una gran importancia en la historia de la Ópera. Hoy esto es ignorado por los regidores y además, si lo saben, no les importa nada en absoluto. ¿Cómo se logra a través del decorado que sean comprensibles las diferentes fases de la acción? ¿Cómo se crean entradas impresionantes? ¿Cómo se ilumina de manera que la mujer aparezca bella? ¿Dónde se coloca un cantante para que su voz suene lo mejor posible? Es peligroso que el regidor sea quien reparta los papeles, cosa frecuente hoy en día, cuando lo mejor es que sea el director de orquesta quien los escoja. -

Download Biography
HAYDN RAWSTRON LIMITED Born in Oldenburg, Germany, Wolfgang Gussmann is one of the opera world’s most renowned set designers. After graduating, he first worked as a painter of theatre sets before being engaged by stage director/designer Herbert Wernicke as his personal assistant. He worked as an assistant on more than 20 productions before being engaged as a set/costume designer in his own right. His first such engagement, in 1979, was for the opera house in Darmstadt. Since then, he has been working as a freelance set and costume designer with stage Wolfgang Gussmann directors such as Harry Kupfer, Johannes Schaaf and Reto Nickler, but most often with Set Designer Willy Decker and Andreas Homoki. There is considerable demand worldwide for revivals and co-productions of works created by Wolfgang Gussmann in conjunction with Willy Decker and Andreas Homoki. These include Decker and Gussmann’s Der fliegende Holländer, presented at the Teatro Regio Torino; Don Carlo, redesigned for the Teatr Wielki Warsaw; and Billy Budd, also redesigned, for the Mikhailovsky Theater in St. Petersburg. The Metropolitan Opera New York and the Nederlandse Opera Amsterdam have performed several revivals of La traviata, another Decker/Gussmann production that has acquired 'cult' status since its original premiere at the Salzburg Festival in 2005. In 2013, the Teatro Colòn Buenos presented the Homoki/Gussmann production of Die Frau ohne Schatten. His output has been prolific with over 150 productions for opera houses such as: the Vienna State Opera; the State Operas of Munich, Hamburg, Dresden and Stuttgart; Deutsche Oper and Komische Oper Berlin; Leipzig and Cologne Opera; the Ruhrtriennale and the Salzburg Festival; the Bastille, Palais Garnier and Châtelet in Paris; De Nederlandse Opera in Amsterdam and La Scala di Milano.
