Mapping Artistic Networks: Eighteenth-Century Italian Theatre and Opera Across Europe
, Brepols, 2022 Paperback, 232 pages, Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:25 b/w, 12 col., 10 tables b/w., 10 maps b/w, Language: English. ISBN 9782503584959.
Summary Mapping Artistic Networks provides a new critical overview of the circulation of the Italian theatre and opera across Europe in the eighteenth century. Performed as an extension of imperial celebrations, coronations, weddings, and masquerades, Italian theatre and opera provided scripts for the representation of political power and became an expressive metonym for the Bourbon monarchs, Austrian Habsburgs, Saxon electors in Poland, Prussian rulers and Russian emperors. They employed theatre as a political tool that magnified their victories and fashioned their courts as theatre and made theatre part of their courts. From Munich to Vienna, from Madrid to St Petersburg, from Dresden to Stockholm, there was seldom a court that did not employ Italian-born artists, musicians, singers, and theatre engineers. The volume furnishes valuable information and substantive new analysis on both Italian plays and operas performed throughout various European courts and the mobility of theatre professionals. The essays critically assess how the italianit , the notion we use in the sense of the image of otherness that Europeans wished to assimilate and musical style, were defined but also challenged through the productions of Italian theatre and opera abroad and their encounters with national traditions. The collection aims to contribute to a broader discussion of cultural transfer and transmission of artistic practices in music and theatre, and migrations of artists and texts across the continent, while also exploring for the first time the East of Europe.

Singing Speech and Speaking Melodies. Minor Forms of Musical Theatre in the 18th and 19th Century
, Brepols, 2021 Hardback, xiv + 562 pages, Size:210 x 270 mm, Illustrations:25 b/w, Language(s):English, Spanish, French. ISBN 9782503595436.
Summary This volume addresses the complex variety of stage works with sung and spoken sections, such as vaudeville , singspiel , op ra-comique , zarzuela or operetta in different European countries from the eighteenth century to the beginning of the Twenties. Beyond a multifaceted perspective, twenty-one essays investigate the nature of these musical theatre forms, attending their origins, literary sources, relationships, vocality or cultural transfers, features that in some cases have made them become a mass phenomenon. The dissemination and adaptation of these genres through different national contexts, confirms the significance of the long-standing relationship between them and the contemporary dramatical and musical repertoire, revealing significant synergies, always conditioned by the market evolution.

Narrator, the Expositor, and the Prompter in European Medieval Theatre,
Turnhout, Brepols, 2007 Hardback, XIV+346 p., 13 b/w ill., 160 x 240 mm. ISBN 9782503525792.
Interest in the content of this book has developed out of an examination of the prompter who operated in full view of the audience and offered all the lines to the players. In 2001 at Groningen a production of the Towneley Second Shepherds? Play focused on an examination of this convention. Many of the audience responses then were concerned with the figure of the prompter as he was seen to operate simultaneously both 'inside' and 'outside' the action of the play. Such a role and its function is fascinating, not only in its own right, but also in relation to how it might inform us about the nature and purpose of presented theatre. The ability of such a figure to move in and out of the action, and thus different realities, characterizes a relationship to the action and the audience. The same fascination exists in relation to roles of the narrator and the expositor. Sometimes these roles are overt ones; sometimes they 'double up' with roles of actors, personages or characters. These figures are of pivotal significance in the communication of those plays in which they operate. The purpose of this book is to investigate the nature of these roles in order to identify their influence upon the performance of medieval plays. Languages : English.
Joseph Urban: Architecture, Theatre, Opera, Film
New York, Abbeville Press, 1992 Linnen binding, missing dustjacket, 272 pages, 31 x 23.5 cm, english text. *fine condition. ISBN 9780896599123.
Synopsis: This is the first biography of Joseph Urban designer of furniture, stage, opera and film sets, also interiors, decorative objects and buildings. He was a household name in his time and his reputation is now set for a revival. Born in Vienna in 1872, the multi-talented Urban was already enjoying a career in archiecture, stage design, and book illustration before he was brought to America in 1911 to do stage settings for the Boston Opera. By 1914 his highly regarded productions had caught the eye of impresario Florenz Ziegfeld, who lured him away to design nearly all of his shows and Follies on through the 1920s. His lush stagecraft soon revolutionized all of American theatre design, attracting the attention of William Randolph Hearst, who enticed Urban into becoming artistic director for his Cosmopolitan movie studio, where he designed all of the Marion Davies films. During this period he also operated a showcase on Fifth Avenue for the Wiener Werkstatte and was artistic director of the Metropolitan Opera. Many of his original opera settings continued in use well into the New York cityscape, many of which, unfortunately, have been demolished, including the original Ziegfield Theatre and Central Park Casino. However, the Hearst Building and the New School for Social Research, the city's first International Style building, remain. Several of his works in Palm Beach still stand, including his most extravagant extant construction, Mar-a-Lago, the former Post estate now owned by Donald Trump. Reviews: Renaissance man Joseph Urban (1872-1933) is rediscovered in this first full-scale biography and appreciation. Urban acquired a reputation in fin-de-siecle Vienna for architecture, stage design, and book illustration. He arrived in America in 1911 to design productions for the Boston Opera and stayed to make an impact on theater stagecraft, opera and movie sets, Art Deco and International Style architecture, and industrial design. Relying on the vast Urban Archives at Columbia University and interviews with Urban's daughter Gretl, this rigorously researched and lavishly illustrated volume (with 282 images, 129 in color) revives the spirit and personality of one of the century's most talented designers. An important choice for academic and larger public libraries with specialized interests. - Russell T. Clement, Brigham Young Univ. Lib., Provo, Ut.
