The Real Tales of Hoffmann: Origin, History, and Restoration of an Operatic Masterpiece
ISBN: 9781442260849 / Angielski / Miękka / 584 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Of all operas in the standard repertory, none has had a more complicated genesis and textual history than Offenbach s Tales of Hoffmann. Based on a highly successful 1851 play inspired by the short stories by the German Romantic writer E.T.A. Hoffmann, the work occupied the last decade of Offenbach s life. When he died in October 1880, the work was being rehearsed at the Opera-Comique. At once cut and rearranged, the work was performed from the start in versions that ignored the composer s final intentions. Only a few decades ago, when previously unavailable manuscripts came to light, it...

Operatic Migrations: Transforming Works and Crossing Boundaries
ISBN: 9781138254985 / Angielski / Miękka / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This volume takes an interdisciplinary approach to studying a wide range of subjects associated with the creation, performance and reception of 'opera' in varying social and historical contexts from the eighteenth to the twentieth centuries. Each essay addresses migrations between genres, cultures, literary and musical works, modes of expression, media of presentation and aesthetics. Although the directions the contributions take are diverse, they converge in significant ways, particularly with the rebuttal of the notion of the singular nature of the operatic work. The volume strongly asserts...

Il concerto perfetto
ISBN: 9788898591183 / Włoski / Miękka / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Puo esistere un uomo in grado di trasformare un concerto mediocre in un evento unico e inimitabile con la sua sola presenza? E questa la domanda che affligge il direttore d'orchestra Antonio Grimaudi che, dopo aver assistito ad alcuni concerti "magici," si convince che questa possibilita e reale e s'impegna in una ricerca che lo portera all'incontro con un "Catalizzatore," ossia un uomo in grado di canalizzare l'armonia, di risvegliare la passione.

O ma Carmen: Bizet's Fateful Gypsy in Portrayals from 1875 to the Present
ISBN: 9781476663241 / Angielski / Miękka / 228 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. "Qu'est-ce que c'est?" (What is it?) mezzo-soprano Celestine Galli-Marie asked when offered the title role in the 1875 premier of Bizet's new opera, Carmen. She was only the first in a long line of performers to ask. In the 140+ years since, each singer has crafted her own portrayal of the inscrutable Gypsy. The famous soprano Geraldine Farrar wrote: "Each one of us probably sees something that the others have not seen--or thinks she does--and that 'something' is her individual Carmen." This book explores the history of operatic portrayals of Bizet's elusive enchantress, tracing the...

Musical Debate and Political Culture in France, 1700-1830
ISBN: 9781783272013 / Angielski / Twarda / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, French cultural life seethed with debates about the proper nature and form of musical expression, particularly in opera. Expressed in a flood of pamphlets, articles, letters and poems as well as in the actual disruption of performances, these so-called querelles were seen at the time as a distinctively French phenomenon and have been mined by scholars since for what they can tell us about French politics and culture in the revolutionary period. This is the first full-length treatment of the entire history of this phenomenon, from its...

Jacques Offenbach and the Making of Modern Culture
ISBN: 9780521871808 / Angielski / Twarda / 370 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Offenbach's operas were a significant force for cultural change, both in his own time and in the decades to follow. In this book, Laurence Senelick demonstrates the ways in which this musical phenomenon took hold globally, with Offenbach's work offering an alternative, irreverent, sexualized view of life which audiences found liberating, both personally and socially. In the theatre, the composer also inspired cutting-edge innovations in stagecraft and design, and in this book, he is recognized as a major cultural influence, with an extensive impact on the spheres of literature, art, film, and...

Henry Purcell's Dido and Aeneas
ISBN: 9780190271664 / Angielski / Twarda / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Purcell's Dido and Aeneas stands as the greatest operatic achievement of seventeenth-century England, and yet, despite its global renown, it remains cloaked in mystery. The date and place of its first performance cannot be fixed with precision, and the absolute accuracy of the surviving scores, which date from almost 100 years after the work was written, cannot be assumed.
In this thirtieth-anniversary new edition of her book, Ellen Harris closely examines the many theories that have been proposed for the opera's origin and chronology, considering the opera both as political allegory and...
