Download or read book Alfred Roller s Production of Mozart s Don Giovanni written by Evan Baker (Opera historian) and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On December 21, 1905, the premiere of the new production of Mozart's Don Giovanni with a stellar cast took place at the Vienna Court Opera. Alfred Roller, Chief of Scenic Design and a leading member of the art movement Secession, designed the settings and costumes. The production was staged and conducted by Gustav Mahler, Director of the Vienna Court Opera. Reaction to the new production was swift: an enormous storm of controversy erupted in the Viennese press, chiefly about the staging and settings. Statements of condemnation and praise appeared in the newspapers for days. The influences of the Secession were charted, discussed, and debated. Complaints were raised against the high costs of the sets and costumes, and calls were made for the production to be removed from the repertory. Roller's designs for Don Giovanni were simple: four gray, austere, movable "towers," two on each side of the stage, provided the basic stage setting. These towers served as scenic decoration used either singly or combined in groups to create windows, balconies, doorways and gateways. Painted drops were also used, as well as a few simple scenic components on rolling wagons or platforms. Lighting played a significant role, since scenic painting was kept to neutral tones. There was little ornamentation, a stark contrast to past scenic and staging practices that were previously deemed "the tradition." The Viennese cognoscenti prided themselves on adhering to the theatrical tradition, and this new production had broken with it. The dissertation documents the Viennese scenic traditions and recreates Roller's iconoclastic production of Don Giovanni and the subsequent public reaction. The years between 1899 and 1905 were rich in the propagation of new and novel theories (particularly those of Adolphe Appia and Edward Gordon Craig), manifestos, designs, articles, and books which called for changes and reforms in the visual and scenic arts. The influences of these new theories and ideas and of the Secession upon the scenic and staging styles of the Vienna Opera are examined as well.

This book was released on 2016-10-31 with total page 429 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the 17th and 18th century musicians' mobilities and migrations are essential for the European music history and the cultural exchange of music. Adopting viewpoints that reflect different methodological approaches and diversified research cultures, the book presents studies on central scopes, strategies and artistic outcomes of mobile and migratory musicians as well as on the transfer of music. By looking at elite and non-elite musicians and their everyday mobilities to major and minor centers of music production and practice, new biographical patterns and new stylistic paradigms in the European East, West and South emerge.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In this elegantly constructed study of the early decades of public opera, the conflicts and cooperation of poets, composers, managers, designers, and singers—producing the art form that was soon to sweep the world and that has been dominant ever since—are revealed in their first freshness."—Andrew Porter "This will be a standard work on the subject of the rise of Venetian opera for decades. Rosand has provided a decisive contribution to the reshaping of the entire subject. . . . She offers a profoundly new view of baroque opera based on a solid documentary and historical-critical foundation. The treatment of the artistic self-consciousness and professional activities of the librettists, impresarios, singers, and composers is exemplary, as is the examination of their reciprocal relations. This work will have a positive effect not only on studies of 17th-century, but on the history of opera in general."—Lorenzo Bianconi

Download or read book Renaissance Fun written by Philip Steadman and published by UCL Press. This book was released on 2021-04-13 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Renaissance Fun is about the technology of Renaissance entertainments in stage machinery and theatrical special effects; in gardens and fountains; and in the automata and self-playing musical instruments that were installed in garden grottoes. How did the machines behind these shows work? How exactly were chariots filled with singers let down onto the stage? How were flaming dragons made to fly across the sky? How were seas created on stage? How did mechanical birds imitate real birdsong? What was ‘artificial music’, three centuries before Edison and the phonograph? How could pipe organs be driven and made to play themselves by waterpower alone? And who were the architects, engineers, and craftsmen who created these wonders? All these questions are answered. At the end of the book we visit the lost ‘garden of marvels’ at Pratolino with its many grottoes, automata and water jokes; and we attend the performance of Mercury and Mars in Parma in 1628, with its spectacular stage effects and its music by Claudio Monteverdi – one of the places where opera was born. Renaissance Fun is offered as an entertainment in itself. But behind the show is a more serious scholarly argument, centred on the enormous influence of two ancient writers on these subjects, Vitruvius and Hero. Vitruvius’s Ten Books on Architecture were widely studied by Renaissance theatre designers. Hero of Alexandria wrote the Pneumatics, a collection of designs for surprising and entertaining devices that were the models for sixteenth and seventeenth century automata. A second book by Hero On Automata-Making – much less well known, then and now – describes two miniature theatres that presented plays without human intervention. One of these, it is argued, provided the model for the type of proscenium theatre introduced from the mid-sixteenth century, the generic design which is still built today. As the influence of Vitruvius waned, the influence of Hero grew.
