Coloratura Comparison! Four historic sopranos wind up Olympia's DOLL SONG, High E-flat THE SONGBIRDS: - Lucy Gates (1882 - 1951) was an American soprano who made many records of popular songs and arias for Columbia. She made her debut in Berlin in 1909. Gates was the granddaughter of Brigham Young and in 1916 married Albert Ernest Bowen, a leader in the LDS Church. THE MUSIC: Jacques Offenbach composed at least 100 works for the stage in the 34 years between 1847 and 1881. Yet only his masterpiece “Les Contes de Hoffmann” lives in the standard repertory, deservedly so. According to operabase.com, “Hoffmann” is the second most performed French opera in the world, after “Carmen.” The first of three fantasy lovers that the poet Hoffmann conjures in the story is Olympia. Initially she appears luminous to Hoffmann, but she turns out to be a mechanical doll. She only has one aria in the opera, "Les oiseaux dans la charmille," commonly referred to as the Doll Song. And what an aria it is -- an extremely popular and challenging coloratura showpiece. This ditty is so ubiquitous that it’s easy to overlook how clever and original it is: Offenbach ingeniously composed an intricate and precise coloratura vocal line to convey Olympia's wind-up doll characteristics, all with a bit of a wink. It's inevitably a crowd pleaser for sopranos who can display their technique and have a little fun at the same time.

Jacques Offenbach (1819–1880)

It’s incredibly difficult to find a good can-can these days… Either the technical skill of the dance gets lost in more modern moves and techniques, or the playful naughtiness gets lost in favor of, again, a more modern understanding of what is sexy. But there’s just something delightfully fun about a dance that is so incredibly skilled and challenging whose erotic appeal is the chance for a half-second’s glimpse of a crouch through split drawers.

To Marie-Laure and Charles de Noailles Paris, 17 March 1932 Very dear friends, I’ve been wanting to write to you for some time now – since receiving Charles’s letter – but these last few days I’ve been very busy with endless surrealist complications. I’m also tied up with ‘dubbing’ work for Paramount. I spoke to Giacometti the other day about the surprise Charles mentioned in his letter: he has agreed to prepare it with me and we’ll keep you informed. As for Crevel, he told me he would write to you. He came for supper at my home on Sunday, with Mrs Cuevas and Ortiz. Naturally, we spoke of nothing all night but the latest complications with the group. For rather complicated reasons, a new splinter group has formed consisting this time of Aragon, Sadoul, Unik, Alexandre, Giacometti and me. This split was caused by the publication of Breton’s Poetry’s Misery. Dalí wrote to me from Cadaqués: he now represents the extreme right wing of surrealism. It’s all so sad and you can imagine the terrible time we are having. Frankly, the Marseille business did not go well. That Mr Castelli took two months to decide to pay me 2,000 francs, and I see from your letter that the takings came to 13,000. The same with Belgium and Holland. As they don’t want to pay me more than 1,000 francs per screening, I’ve spent the last month writing to them. Everyone has the same excuse: limited screenings due to censorship. I should like to know what you think, and whether you would prefer I just keep the film with me here, rather than let it go at that price. I still think that had the censors not intervened we would have recovered the production costs; Braunberger was saying the same thing a few days ago. The film has also been requested by Prague. If you have a moment to write, I’d be grateful for more specific details about the kind of surprise you would like so that we can get on with our preparation. It goes without saying that we’ll try to do the best possible job. The other evening after dinner we played some poetic games and René was lamenting that Marie-Laure was not with us, because she would have loved it. Mrs Cuevas was truly inspired and wanted to carry on and wash the dishes. Only a titanic struggle on our part dissuaded her. There are no major novelties as far as films go. There was a magnificent Eddie Cantor film, Palmy Days. Renoir’s film The Bitch, is very well made and has a very good cast. In my opinion, it’s the best French film in recent years. I went to see Orpheus by Offenbach and found it admirable. A play, Pains of Youth, has caused great commotion among the surrealists, especially Breton; but I prefer Wedekind. It’s the same genre, of course, but with that unpleasant so-called ‘post-war’ touch. Wedekind filtered through the Treaty of Versaille. I got Nora’s letter and want to write back at once. Do let her know and send her my thanks in advance. Love to Laure and Nathalie and all my friendship to you both, Luis
