Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Famous Prima Donnas The musical stage in the United States may be said to be a birthright rather than a profession. A critical examination Of the con ditions quickly Shows one that the number of women at present prominent in light Opera and kindred forms Of entertainment, who have earned their positions by continued endeavor and logical development in their art, is com paratively small. The majority are, in fact, the happy victims of personality, who have been rushed into fame chiefly by chance and a fortunate combination of circumstances. They are without the requisite training, either in the art of singing or in the art of imperso nation, that would entitle them to be seriously considered as great vocalists or as great actors.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Prima Donna, Vol. 2 of 2: Her History and Surrounding From the Seventeenth to the Nineteenth Century The Memoirs of M. De Viel Castel are extremely amusing because they aie excesswely personal. He is emphatically what the French call a manwise lnue; he has a marvellous flair for scandalous anecdotes, which we may be suie lose nothing in the telling; With a malicious memory which seems never to have been at fault. No doubt, in the venal Court of the Second Empire, he found subjects enough for his cynical humour and if he had been constrained to defend actions for libel, he could probably in most cases have made a plausible defence At all events, it would have been dangerous to put him in the Witness-box, and drive him to stir the mud in self defence under severe cross-examination. What makes his memoirs such entertaining reading is that he has not only a good memory for bad stones, but that in his rapid portraiture he shows something of the power, of the shrewd insight, and of the graphic Wit of a saint-simon.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Minor Chord: A Story of a Prima Donna In the zenith of my career as a prima donna, known in the foyers of every great city, the cynosure of the glow of the footlights, the plaudits of audiences in both hemispheres, the appreciative praise of great critics and the esteem and adoration of a host of admirers I am alone with my memories. Like the wife of Midas who, with her pretty Grecian mouth buried in the grass-roots, whispered the shameful secret Midas has asses' ears, I must tell the story; and so I have begun a long-debated purpose, the recital of a tale of the Middle West in the early seventies. My real life history has been too common place to appear romantic; my manager's version has over-gilded humble conditions which must never be revealed until my stage career is over. And so, in all my triumphs, though known everywhere, yet I am unknown, miserably unknown, except to those whom I have loved - and lost. Full well I know that, like the Grecian queen, my confidence may be betrayed, my secret escape me. Even as the very grasses and lowly wildflowers whispered to the zephyrs, and the zephyrs carried it to the clematis and laurels until the whole vale was susurrant and murmuring with the sibilant refrain, Midas has asses' ears, so any accident, the curiosity of a maid, yes, or the malignity of a rival, would make these avowals a reef on which to wreck my career, perhaps my reputation. Men of genius in all ages have sought to dissect and analyze the heart of woman and to lay bare its mysteries in song and fiction, painting and sculpture; but the greatest men who weigh the emotions and hearts of their fellow-creatures as in a balance fail in the study of the feminine heart to enter its holy of holies and to carry away with them the secret key of a woman's soul.

Book Synopsis Prima Donna by : Rupert Christiansen
Download or read book Prima Donna written by Rupert Christiansen and published by Vintage. This book was released on 1995 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "He succeeds admirably. . . sane, serious, committed, invigorating. ' Brian Masters, SPECTATOR 'As compelling readable as it is scholarly. ' Edward Greenfield, GUARDIAN Prima Donnas have always provoked extreme reactions - branded as spoilt and manipulative, hated and resented, even when most admired. But is this the whole story? Rupert Christiansen examines the truth behind the myth, seeking the real women behind the stereotypes. In this new edition of his acclaimed study, he puts three hundred years of these remarkable women - from Pasta and Patti to Norman and Bartoli - into their historical and musical context. He reveals their vital creative contribution to the development of opera and the intense personal struggles that were often the price of success."

Book Synopsis The Arts of the Prima Donna in the Long Nineteenth Century by : Rachel Cowgill
Download or read book The Arts of the Prima Donna in the Long Nineteenth Century written by Rachel Cowgill and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2012-06-01 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Female characters assumed increasing prominence in the narratives of nineteenth- and early twentieth-century opera. And for contemporary audiences, many of these characters--and the celebrated women who played them--still define opera at its finest and most searingly affective, even if storylines leave them swooning and faded by the end of the drama. The presence and representation of women in opera has been addressed in a range of recent studies that offer valuable insights into the operatic stage as cultural space, focusing a critical lens at the text and the position and signification of female characters. Moving that lens onto the historical, The Arts of the Prima Donna in the Long Nineteenth Century sheds light on the singers who created and inhabited these roles, the flesh-and-blood women who embodied these fabled "doomed women" onstage before an audience. Editors Rachel Cowgill and Hilary Poriss lead a cast of renowned contributors in an impressive display of current approaches to the lives, careers, and performances of female opera singers. Essential theoretical perspectives reflect several broad themes woven through the volume-cultures of celebrity surrounding the female singer; the emergence of the quasi-mythical figure of the diva; explorations of the intricate and sundry arts associated with the prima donna, and with her representation in other media; and the diversity and complexity of contemporary responses to her. The prima donna influenced compositional practices, determined musical and dramatic interpretation, and affected management decisions about the running of the opera house, content of the season, and employment of other artists--a clear demonstration that her position as "first woman" extended well beyond the boards of the operatic stage itself. The Arts of the Prima Donna in the Long Nineteenth Century is an important addition to the collections of students and researchers in opera studies, nineteenth-century music, performance and gender/sexuality studies, and cultural studies, as well as to the shelves of opera singers and enthusiasts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Opera Singers a Pictorial Souvenir: With Biographies of Some, of the Most Famous, Singers of the Day A BR unnhilde or an Isolde hardly is associated with a little village in Maine. Yet Maine is the native State of Mme. Nordica, as it is of two other great Ameri can prima donnas - Mme. Eames and Annie Louise Carey. Mme. Nordica was born in Farmington, in the interior of the State, in 1859. Her parents were musical. Her father, as a boy, played surreptitiously on the violin. He had been forbidden to bring the instrument into the house, because his father thought it was the devil. But his mother, more lenient, allowed him to hide it in one of the lower bureau-drawers, and when the sterner parent was out, the boy exhumed his beloved fiddle from the depths of the bureau and revelled in its sound. He grew up to have a fine bass voice, and hemarried a girl who had a fine soprano. They sang in church - the only place where it was not considered sinful to s1ng. Thus, within limitations it is true, Lillian Norton (mme. Nordica's real name) grew up in a musical atmosphere.
