For a period of fifty years Dion Boucicault stood prominent in the world of the stage. He fed half the theatres of London and New York with the products of his pen. He utilized everything he read in novels, and adapted everything he saw in the Paris theatres. His enormous capacity for work equalled his superabundant activity. His gift of discerning what the public wanted was matched by his inexhaustible facility in supplying that want.

Download or read book Duse and the French (Classic Reprint) written by Victor Mapes and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Duse and the French The artistic career of Madame Duse in America resulted in so strong and pervading a stimulus to dra matic art, that the paper herewith presented by Victor Mapes, recounting the actress's recent first appearance in Paris, her apparent failure and ultimate triumph in that self-arrogated capital of all the arts, will be of especial interest to the members of the Dunlap Society. Madame Duse's visit to our country is not yet remote enough to have lost its interest, and the memory of her triumphs cannot be recalled without a thrill. Her methods, free from all that is bizarre or theatrical, the tones of her voice, the unobtrusiveness of her efiects, and the towering and convincing force of her creations, ofiered an example in the art of acting which will long continue to exert a beneficial influence upon the work of the men and women of our stage. The fact that among English-speaking countries she was virtually discovered in New York, is significant of the taste and discrimination of our theatre-goers. She played.

Book Synopsis Opéra-Comique by : Robert Ignatius Letellier
Download or read book Opéra-Comique written by Robert Ignatius Letellier and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2010-04-16 with total page 780 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Opéra-comique, like grand opéra, a specifically French genre of opera, emerged from the political changes and intellectual discussion that played a recurrent role in determining the nature of artistic expression and production in Paris from the late 17th until the mid-18th centuries. Opéra-comique is distinguished by its use of spoken dialogue to link the arias and sung parts, and its more restrained use of recitatives. It emerged out of the popular entertainments, called opéras-comiques en vaudevilles, that were a feature of the theatres held at the seasonal Parisian fairs of St Germain and St Laurent, and of the Comédie-Italienne. The similarity of the entertainments provided by the Comédie-Italienne and the fairs resulted in their amalgamation on 3 February 1756, when they established a theatre for their joint productions, the Hôtel Bourgogne. Their type of entertainment, combining existing popular tunes with spoken sections, lent its generic name to this house, which, regardless of its changing venue, would become known as the Opéra-Comique. The genre of opéra-comique exercised a powerful popular appeal because of its unique fusion of fixed musical form with fluid improvised dialogue. The well-known airs of the day, invariably strophic, came to be the genre’s staple medium of artistic expression—the couplets. But opéra-comique was not necessarily comic or light in nature. Indeed, the most famous example, Bizet’s Carmen (1875), is a tragedy. The genre, with its unique mixture of comedy and drama, its captivating musical fluency, its handling of serious and Romantic themes—expertly crafted by its most famous librettist Augustin-Eugène Scribe (1791-1861)—became universally popular in the masterpieces of its heyday between 1820 and 1870: Adrien Boieldieu’s La Dame blanche (1825), Daniel-François-Esprit Auber’s Fra Diavolo (1830) and Le Domino noir (1837), Ferdinand Hérold’s Zampa (1831) and Le Pré aux clercs (1832), Fromental Halévy’s L’Éclair (1835) and Ambroise Thomas’s Mignon (1866). The history of the opéra-comique between 1762 and 1915 reflects the political and cultural life of France—from the last days of the ancien régime, through the tumult of the Revolution and Napoleonic era, the July Monarchy and Second Empire, to the shattering defeat of France by Prussia in 1870. After this, apart from isolated works (by Bizet, Delibes, Offenbach, Massenet), new works by the younger generation of musicians now tended to be French adaptations of the Wagnerian aesthetic and the record of success is very thin. Hardly any native French works in this imitative mode premiered at the Opéra-Comique between 1870 and 1915 have survived—apart from Debussy’s unique Pelléas et Mélisande (1902). This study serves as a sourcebook for this very French genre, with details of forgotten composers, their operas—performance dates, plot summaries, the singers who created them, the names of important numbers in the works (from libretti and scores that are either now to be found only in the Paris libraries, or are lost completely), often with contemporary observations about the reception of particular works, the effectiveness of their dramaturgy and music. It provides a resource for operatic culture and convention, from the late 18th to the early 20th centuries. The record of the fortunes of the Opéra-Comique provides a way into the changing culture and aesthetic values of an age.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Tragic Muse, Vol. 1 of 2 En v'la des abrutis I more than one of their fellow-gazers might have been heard to exclaim and certain it is that there was something de pressed and discouraged in this interesting group, who sat looking vaguely before them, not noticing the life of the place, somewhat as if each had a private anxiety. A very close observer would have guessed that though on many questions they were closely united, this present anxiety was not the same for each. If they looked grave, moreover, this was doubtless partly the result of their all being dressed in mourning, as if for a recent bereavement. The eldest of the three ladies had indeed a face of a fine austere mould, which would have been moved to gayety only by some force more insidious than any she was likely to recognize in Paris. Cold, still and considerably worn, it was neither stupid nor hard, but it was firm, narrow and sharp. This competent matron, acquainted evidently with grief, but not weakened by it, had a high forehead, to which the quality of the skin gave a singular polish - it glittered even when seen at a distance; a nose which.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays on the Drama Corneille, and Voltaire to the French stage. Years passed in wandering up and down with her parents, who plied their vocation of pedlars with indifferent success, were not favourable either to the education or to the health of their gifted child, or Of their other children - for they had several, - and probably laid the seeds of that delicacy of chest which ultimately proved fatal to Rachel. This is all the more probable, if we remember that at Lyons, where her parents went to reside in 1830, and subse quently in Paris, to which they removed in 1832, her elder sister Sophie (afterwards known on the stage as Sarah Félix) and herself used to eke out the scanty means of the household by selling oranges and by Singing at the cafés, upon the chance Of earning a few sous from the visitors. Sarah, a bright healthy blonde, found com pensation for the hardship Of this life in the coarse admi ration which her good looks excited. Rachel, pale and plain, had no such consolation, and to her sensitive na ture the occupation was full Of suffering. This, which no doubt made itself felt in her looks, and the intelligence which must at all times have Shown itself in her eyes, attracted the notice of one who had even then given promise of a great future, as the sisters were singing in the Place Royals, and he dropped a five-franc piece into the younger girl's hand. That is Victor Hugo said a voice within her hearing; and when Rachel had become famous, and a friend Of the great poet's, She was not ashamed to relate the incident to her friends.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Plays, Acting, and Music Spiritual Adventures. Side by side with these studies 1 the arts I have my own art, that of verse, which is, after my chief concern. In all my critical and theoretical writing I wish to be as little abstract as possible, and to study first principles, not so much as they exist in the brain of the theorist, but as they may be discovered, alive and in effective action, in every achieved form of art. I do not understand the limitation by which so many writers on aesthetics choose to confine them selves to the study of artistic principles as they are seen in this or that separate form of art. Each art has its own laws, its own capacities, its own limits; these it is the business of the critic jealously to distinguish. Yet, in the study of art as art, it should be his endeavour to master the universal science of beauty. July 1903./a Paradox on Art: p. 1. Technique and the Artist: p. 5. Nietzsche on Tragedy: p. 9.

Download or read book Who's Who on the Stage 1908 written by Walter Browne and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-10 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Who's Who on the Stage 1908: The Dramatic Reference Book and Biographical Dictionary of the Theatre Adams, Miss Maude (Kiskadden): Actress, was born in Salt Lake City November 11, 1872. Her father was James Kiskadden, a business man. Her mother, a well-known actress, Mrs. Annie Adams, the daughter of a Utah pioneer who claimed to come from John Quincy Adams stock, is still playing. When Maude was born, Annie Adams was leading woman at the Salt Lake Theatre, which enjoyed the special patronage of Brigham Young. Phil Margetts, an Englishman, now the proprietor of a liquor store in Salt Lake City, but formerly a popular comedian, claims the distinction of first putting Miss Maude Adams on the stage, or, rather, of carrying her there. The future star was just nine months old when a play called "The Lost Child" was being produced at the Salt Lake Theatre. She had been taken to the theatre by a nurse. Margetts was cast for the father of the lost child. At the last moment he found he was expected to fondle a rag doll. While he was lamenting this, Mrs. Kiskadden went to the wings with Maude in her arms. Margetts snatched the baby from her and dashed on to the stage. When she was five years old, in 1877, Miss Maude Adams played her first speaking part, Little Schneider, at the old Bush Theatre, San Francisco, with J. K. Emmet in one of his "Fritz" plays. She also played Chrystal in "Chums," by David Belasco, who had just risen from call boy to stage manager at the Baldwin Theatre. In the cast were James O'Neill, Lewis Morrison and the late James A. Herne. When she was six years old she was sent to school, where she remained until she was sixteen. Immediately on leaving school Miss Adams played the part of a schoolmistress in Hoyt's "A Midnight Bell," produced at the Madison Square Theatre, New York, in 1888. She afterward played in "Men and Women" and created the part of the crippled girl in "The Lost Paradise," which first attracted attention to her.
