La República de la Música

La República de la Música

Autor: Luis De Pablo Hammeken

Número de Páginas: 293

El objetivo de este libro no es estudiar la historia de la composición ni de la producción de ópera en México; más bien, se trata de explorar las prácticas, las normas y las identidades que se tejían en torno a este espectáculo en la Ciudad de México de mediados del siglo XIX. Y es que, según sugiere la multitud de referencias operísticas que salpican toda la producción literaria y periodística del México de la época, la ópera era mucho más que una forma de entretenimiento: era un productor de códigos y significados culturales, e incluso políticos, compartidos por amplios sectores sociales. Y, sin embargo, es un tema que ha recibido muy poca atención por parte de la historia social y cultural. Según se argumenta, durante el convulso siglo XIX, la ópera desempeñó un papel central en el proceso de construcción de nociones clave para el imaginario político mexicano, tales como nación, modernidad y, muy particularmente, civilización. Las distintas representaciones generadas en la época sugieren que la ópera era una forma artística asociada más con el progreso que con la tradición, más con lo moderno que con lo clásico, más con los valores liberales...

Histoire de l'Opéra français XX-XXIe siècles

Histoire de l'Opéra français XX-XXIe siècles

Autor: Hervé Lacombe

Número de Páginas: 1597

Si, au XIXe siècle, l’opéra français a continué à se définir en tant qu’expression artistique distincte des opéras italiens et allemands, au cours du XXe siècle l’internationalisation du répertoire et des créations conduit à une modification profonde de la notion d’école nationale. En revanche, perdure un lien important entre l’État, les collectivités territoriales et le genre, comme en témoigne l’inauguration en 1989 de l’Opéra Bastille, voulu par François Mitterrand, ou le label « opéra national », décerné par le ministère de la Culture à quelques théâtres en régions. Plus que jamais, la place de l’opéra dans la société est un défi, à la fois esthétique, culturel, économique, social et politique. Jusqu’à 1945, et malgré sa lente et inexorable désagrégation, le système mis en place précédemment maintient la vie lyrique dans une relative continuité avec le XIXe siècle. L’opéra du XXe siècle, que l’on élargira aux deux premières décennies du XXIe, est l’opéra de toutes les aventures et de toutes les crises, qui l’ont un temps conduit aux limites de ses possibles et menacé de disparition. Face aux...

Icons of Latino America

Autor: Roger Bruns

Número de Páginas: 640

Latinos have contributed a tremendous amount to American cultural heritage, injecting energy, a unique style, and piquant flavor. This set profiles the big names from this century and the last who represent the highest achievement in their field and who have inspired, led, educated, informed, and entertained us. A diverse representation from the world of sports, entertainment, education, music, journalism, literature, and labor is offered. Biographical essays engagingly tell the story behind the icon, with background including family and education, career trajectory and highlights, and contributions and circumstances that have led to icon status. Along with these famous figures, several essays on other types of Latino pop culture icons—iconic characters from cartoons and comics and film and even iconic Latino foods—are included. Entertaining side bars and classic photos complement the essays. Perfect for student reports and browsing, with more in-depth coverage than an encyclopedia entry but less than a full biography, there is something fascinating and informative here for everyone. Readers will find that that a number of the icons profiled were influenced by other icons...

The Grove Book of Opera Singers

Autor: Laura Williams Macy

Número de Páginas: 649

Covering over 1500 singers from the birth of opera to the present day, this marvelous volume will be an essential resource for all serious opera lovers and an indispensable companion to the enormously successful Grove Book of Operas. The most comprehensive guide to opera singers ever produced, this volume offers an alphabetically arranged collection of authoritative biographies that range from Marion Anderson (the first African American to perform at the Met) to Benedict Zak (the classical tenor and close friend and colleague of Mozart). Readers will find fascinating articles on such opera stars as Maria Callas and Enrico Caruso, Ezio Pinza and Fyodor Chaliapin, Lotte Lehmann and Jenny Lind, Lily Pons and Luciano Pavarotti. The profiles offer basic information such as birth date, vocal style, first debut, most memorable roles, and much more. But these articles often go well beyond basic biographical information to offer colorful portraits of the singer's personality and vocal style, plus astute evaluations of their place in operatic history and many other intriguing observations. Many entries also include suggestions for further reading, so that anyone interested in a particular...
