ISBN : 978-2-913661-49-3Résumé
A veritable ‘imaginary museum’ of the living stage spectacle, this work brings together the biggest set of documents ever collected on every aspect of the lyrical stage around 1900, just as it was reaching its apex. This fresh look at opera does not leave out any of the forms of manufacturing a spectacle, whether that is the artistic, practical, economic and human challenges of mounting a production - from the underbelly to the coat-hangers, via the wings and the set-building workshops.
La Scène lyrique autour de 1900 contains over 550 illustrations (engravings, photographs, reproductions of archive documents, etc.) and two CDs including the recording, complete and never heard before, of the first tableau from act three of Richard Wagner’s The Master Singers of Nuremberg (recorded in 1944), and an anthology of airs and symphonic pages drawn from The Master Singers of Nuremberg, by Richard Wagner, Georges Imbart de La Tour, Paul Franz, Marcel Journet, Georges Thill, Gabriel Pierné, etc. (1908 to 1935).
