Dramatic Soprano Elisabeth Ohms was born on 17 May 1888 in Arnheim in The Netherlands. Her interest in music was evident at an early age, when she began studying violin and piano playing. She did not turn to singing until she was 28, getting her training at the conservatory in Amsterdam and in Frankfurt am Main. Her first engagement was at the Stadttheater in Mainz, but after just two years she joined the company of the Munich State Opera, where she remained for two decades. With Munich as a base, she went on extensive guest tours all over the world. One of her admirers was Arturo Toscanini, under whom she sang Kundry and Isolde in 1927 and 1929 at La Scala in Milan; another was Richard Strauss, who was especially enthusiastic about her Isolde. lt goes without saying that this fine Wagner soprano was heard in Bayreuth, too; Toscanini asked for her as Kundry when he conducted "Parsifal" for the first time there in 1931. Her appearances at the Metropolitan Opera in 1930 and 1931 were outstandingly successful. As an exception, she began with "Fidelio"; then came the Brünnhildes in the Ring, Ortrud and Venus, and finally, to crown her work there, Isolde. After these years of international successes, Elisabeth Ohm limited her sphere of activities to Munich, where she performed only rarely and ended her stage career in 1942. She then resided in Marquartstein, where she died on 16 October 1974. Gertrud Bindernagel was born on 11 January 1894 in Magdeburg. She studied at the conservatory in her home town and was only 17 when she was engaged by the local Stadttheater as a practical trainee. From 1913 to 1917 she continued her studies at the College of Music in Berlin. After finishing them she went to the opera house in Breslau, where she stayed until 1919. In 1919-20 she was with the Regensburg Stadttheater. From 1921 to 1927 she was a member of the company of the Berlin State Opera, where she scored enormous successes in a repertoire ranging from Nedda in "I pagliacci" to Isolde. From 1927 on, Gertrud Bindemagel was heard mainly at the Städtische Oper in Berlin; guest tours took her to Barcelona, Hamburg, Munich, Vienna and Mannheim. Following a performance of "Siegfried" at Berlin's Städtische Oper she was shot by her husband under the arcades of the opera hause. Domestic quarrels had led to the attack, from which she did not recover. She died of complications on 3 November 1932. Marta Fuchs, the celebrated high dramatic soprano of the 1930s and 40s, began her career as an alto in concerts. Born on 1 January 1898 in Stuttgart, she made her opera debut, after five years of concert work, at the Stadttheater in Aachen, still as an alto. Only in the course of her next engagement - with the Dresden State Opera beginning in 1930 - was her voice transformed into a high dramatic soprano. After 1935 she was also a member of the Berlin State Opera company and went on to become one of the most famous Wagner sopranos of the time. In 1933 she was already singing at the Bayreuth Festival, and until 1942 she was hailed by audiences there as Isolde, Kundry and especially Brünnhilde. In 1933 and 1935-37 she took part in Wagner performances in Amsterdam. In 1938 she sang Isolde at the Theatre des Champs-Elysees in Paris. In 1936 she was heard with the Dresden State Opera ensemble in London's Covent Garden as Donna Anna, the Marschallin in "Rosenkavalier", and Ariadne. In 1942 she was acclaimed at the Vienna State Opera. After 1945 Marta Fuchs lived in Stuttgart, giving only occasional guest performances and concerts. She died in Stuttgart on 22 September 1974. Anny Konetzni, bom on 12 February 1902 in Ungarisch-Weisskirchen, got her vocal training at the Vienna Conservatory, where her teacher was the renowned heroic tenor Erik Schmedes. Later she studied with Jacques Stückgold in Berlin. She began her singing career at the Vienna Volksoper (1925) with alto and mezzo roles, but the change to the big dramatic soprano parts was not long in coming.

m8 this opera history book im reading makes gluck sound like the best thing since sliced bread and so now I want to get into gluck. where should I start in terms of his operas/productions?

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

ok. so out of all Gluck's work, i think the very best start is Orfeo ed Euridice, which was his first reform opera. The thing with Gluck is he was trying to reform from the Baroque era to the Classical era, so you can really see how the opera struggles to emerge from itself, i guess? As a result the music is Clsssical but serves Baroque sensibilities, and the characters are halfway between real people and representative of humanity or ideals as a whole.

Anyway, I always point to the Irish National Opera's production as THE BEST Orfeo ed Euridice I've seen so far (see the video below, lmk if you want a copy)

Almost all productions today are a mix of the Paris (french, Orfeo as a tenor) and Vienna (italian, Orfeo as contralto/countertenor) versions. Orfeo ed Euridice's story is at its core this overarching theme of love and it's able to bypass a lot of conventional gender roles because of how it's been changed and adapted throughout the opera's creation.

Other good productions (not necessarily fave takes) include the ROH/La Scala production with Florez, the Theatre des Champs Elysees with John Eliot Gardiner (both Paris versions), and the one with Jaroussky and Diego Fasolis (Vienna). I have a more extensive list here.

Once you're done with Orfeo ed Euridice, I'd recommend Alceste (Vienna version ONLY). It's also a reform opera and you start seeing how Gluck's getting the hang of the Classical era style of opera with focus on the story and characters over embellishments. It's dreary and dragging but it's worth it. Also you can hear how some orchestration influences Mozart later on. The only production with the Vienna version is the one by Teatro La Fenice.

Another great one is Iphigénie en Tauride/Iphigenie auf Tauris (though i'm not sure if it was still considered reform) and Echo et Narcisse.

Ultimately, I love Gluck's reform opera because of how much love is in them (i mean. Orfeo ed Euridice has this chorus called trionfi amore. literally love wins.). His music has its cracks and I've heard the criticism that he gives lazy happy endings but I think its very human and really shows how we got to Mozart from Gluck's reforms.

#i blacked out when i saw this and woke up again with this written already lol #/j #thanks for the ask! #malcolm-f-tucker #also if you dont mind sharing whats the book?👀

OTD in Music History: Composer and conductor Jacques Offenbach (1819 - 1889) conducts the world premiere of his first full-length operetta, and the biggest hit of his career, “Orphee aux enfers” (“Orpheus in the Underworld”) – featuring the (in)famous “Can-Can” dance – at his little "Theatre des Bouffes-Parisiens" in Paris in 1858. Today, Offenbach is best remembered for his pioneering work as the creator of a type of light burlesque French comic opera popularly known as “operetta,” which became one of the most characteristic "pop" musical products of the latter half of the 19th Century. Offenbach combined a remarkably fluent and elegant musical style with a highly developed sense of both characterization and satire – indeed, no less an expert on matters of the theater than legendary "opera buffa" composer Giacchino Rossini (1792 - 1868) dubbed him “our little Mozart of the Champs-Elysees.” In many ways, both directly and indirectly, Offenbach can fairly be said to be the great-grandfather of the theatrical genre now commonly referred to as the “musical.” PICTURED: A c. 1900 real photo postcard showing the middle aged Offenbach at the height of his career, dressed to the nines and looking every bit the showman.

favorite/recommended productions of orfeo ed euridice?!

you opened pandora's box with this ask

the supreme production for me is the irish national opera's, which tells the story in a very plain lovely anachronistic style. it fills me with so many emotions, this is THE orfeo ed euridice. the downside is that its ambiguous to serve storytelling and if you want gluck as he is then....

the theatre des champs elysees 2018 production has the countertenor, the full and complete story, the lighting aesthetics, the desperation!!

the production with mehta, liebau, and mühlemann is also great but im not so keen on the ending. again, each production gives a special something that adds to the story so it depends on taste, the music is always great!

i also like the one with janet baker but too much ornamentation for me i guess? the opera is about simplicity and emotion so adding ornamentation distracts people from gluck's philosophy imo.

the met opera one is cute! i love the casting choices always and the costumes are inteteresting!

for french versions opera comique's production is the One With The Butches (it changes the ending though and is more based on Berlioz's edited version)

another french version i can recommend is the one with florez and karg because lighting is great xoxo and its just very beautiful singing because they were at their peak here

the last french version is the one conducted by gardiner and is meant to follow greek theater dynamics and an entirely baroque orchestra so if thats in your alley, this is the one for you!

theres also a ballet version choreographed by pina bausch which follows similarly to the opera comique's version. it also has bigender orfeo my beloved.

thats all i can think of for now, thanks for the ask!!!!
