Download or read book Opera in Old San Francisco written by Mary Jean Clauss and published by . This book was released on 2012-11 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Opera in the worlds western hemisphere, whether sung in Italian, French, German, or English, began in the Spanish colonies of South and Central America. Years before operas were first staged in San Francisco, opera companies flourished in Lima, Santiago, Valparaiso, and Mexico City. Gold taken from the earth is what paid for opera houses and performers in the Spanish colonies just as it would pay for them in San Francisco after the discovery of gold in California in 1848. And after gold was next discovered in Australia in 1851, performers continued there and to Asia beyond. More than anything else, gold discoveries were responsible for spreading opera from its origins in Europe to much of the rest of the world. Opera in Old San Francisco is a lively recital of operatic history in San Francisco from the Gold Rush of 1849 to the Earthquake and Fire of 1906. It tells the stories of such well known singers as Adelina Patti, Nellie Melville, Luisa Tetrazzini, Enrico Caruso, and many others who performed in early San Francisco. They were an incredible bunch. Just getting here was often an adventure, if not an ordeal and a struggle to survive. As their stories attest, the life of an early performer was not for the meek or timid. The book is illustrated with nearly forty historic photographs of singers, impresarios, and theaters.

Download or read book Orientalism and the Operatic World written by Nicholas Tarling and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2015-04-23 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Western opera is a globalized and globalizing phenomenon and affords us a unique opportunity for exploring the concept of “orientalism,” the subject of literary scholar Edward Said’s modern classic on the topic. Nicholas Tarling’s Orientalism and the Operatic World places opera in the context of its steady globalization over the past two centuries. In this important survey, Tarling first considers how the Orient appears on the operatic stage in Britain, France, Germany, Russia, and the United States before exploring individual operas according to the region of the “Orient” in which the work is set. Throughout, Tarling offers key insights into such notable operas as George Frideric Handel’s Berenice, Giuseppe Verdi’s Aida, Giacomo Puccini’s MadamaButterfly, Pietro Mascagni’s Iris, and others. Orientalism and the Operatic World argues that any close study of the history of Western opera, in the end, fails to support the notion propounded by Said that Westerners inevitably stereotyped, dehumanized, and ultimately sought only to dominate the East through art. Instead, Tarling argues that opera is a humanizing art, one that emphasizes what humanity has in common by epic depictions of passion through the vehicle of song. Orientalism and the Operatic World is not merely for opera buffs or even first-time listeners. It should also interest historians of both the East and West, scholars of international relations, and cultural theorists.
