Opera director Jasmin Solfaghari has written a very special kind of opera guide. Three milestones of the opera literature are explained by the narrator "LUNA of the moon" in a most skillful way: "The Marriage of Figaro", "The Freeshooter", and "The Ring of the Nibelung". In the second chapter, LUNA takes the reader backstage and spreads a little light on many secrets of the theater. Finally in chapter three, in order to understand and enjoy the operas more fully, LUNA explains many of the German words from "The Freeshooter" and "The Ring of the Nibelung" not always found in a normal dictionary. The "Opera Guide for Beginners" is available in hardcover, paperback, or as an e-book. Let yourself be carried off to a world of dragons, weddings, chaos, tears and unbridled passion!
This Arts and Creativity Manifesto of the New Age is inspired by the ideas and wisdom collected during the first virtual Create!Summit on the future of arts, creativity and technology that took place on October 22, 2022. This Manifesto is focused on the purpose and benefits of the arts as well as the impact the arts and creativity have on our lives and society. Here you will also find a summary of the panels on the healing power of arts both at home and at work, how arts and artists help drive innovation and change in our communities, and the synergy and mutual influence of art, creativity and new tech.
This book addresses singers of all kinds, from professionals to amateurs. It is about empowerment. The voice is different from any other instrument because it is a part of your body - emanating from your core. You are the instrument. The core principle of this book is that joyful and successful singing has a lot more to do with body coherence, vital energy connection and embodied communication than with viewing the voice mostly from a functional perspective. Your creativity and the desire to communicate deeply are grounded in your emotions, your joy, in stillness and in the truths of your vocal body. Attempting to manipulate or force your instrument into a preconceived interpretation or preconceived vocal format often fails to produce the desired results. This book encourages you to experiment with surrender, involvement and body awareness. One of the many benefits of this approach is that it can help to reduce performance anxiety and stage fright. If you want to express with your own unique vocal quality, then this book is for you. If you are curious about your expressive potential, if you are curious about what your next inspirational step might be, this book is for you.

If you are an aspiring opera singer looking to make a career in the industry, this book is for you. If you are an educator who needs a refresher on the German market, this book is for you. If you have heard Germany is a great place for opera, and want to know more, this book is for you. If you haven’t heard that Germany is the best place to work as an opera singer, this book is for you. When I studied singing, my teacher asked me to teach fellow students “how to get an agent”, as I had early success. I think this should be core curriculum, not student supplemented learning. I want you to be prepared for the German opera scene. I founded several academies to share this knowledge, most recently Berlin Opera Academy and Saluzzo Opera Academy. Now I am sharing this again in more detail here in these pages. Success in Germany, the world’s largest opera market, should be taught, not stumbled upon. So if you want to know how to make the most of your auditions, and get a lot of them, read on.

Leipzig war die Stadt, in der Albert Lortzing (1801–1851) die längste Zeit seines Lebens verbrachte. Von November 1833 bis Mai 1844 sowie noch einmal 1849/50 wirkte er hier als vielseitig einsetzbarer Schauspieler und Sänger am Stadttheater sowie kurzzeitig auch als Theaterkapellmeister. Und am Leipziger Stadttheater legte er als Komponist und Opernlibrettist (auch in Zusammenarbeit mit Robert Blum) die Mehrzahl seiner eigenen abendfüllenden komischen und romantischen Opern vor. Dieses Kapitel der Musikgeschichte zu erhellen, war Anliegen der Tagung, denn in der Musikstadt Leipzig spielt heute die Erinnerung an Lortzing nur eine eher marginale Rolle. Zu Lortzing als Künstler seiner Geg...

Bei der Erforschung der Rezeptionsgeschichte von Wagners 'Ring' gab es bislang einen 'blinden Fleck', nämlich die Beschreibung, Analyse und kritische Reflexion der zahlreichen und vielgestaltigen Versuche, den komplexen Opernzyklus Kindern zugänglich zu machen. Diese Lücke schließt der vorliegende Band, ein interdisziplinäres Gemeinschaftsprojekt von Vertreter*innen der Musikwissenschaft, Musikdidaktik, Deutschdidaktik, Semiotik und Museologie. Adaptionen in der Form von Kinderopern, Hörspielen und Büchern werden im Hinblick auf ihre Strategien exemplarisch untersucht. Aus praktischer und theoretischer Sicht werden Überlegungen zur Vermittlung auf der Bühne, im Museum und in Schulbüchern angestellt und erklärt. Aufgezeigt werden auch werkinterne Bezüge zum ?uvre Wagners ebenso wie werkexterne zur Intermedialität der Phänomene. Ein Buch für alle, die sich für Wagners 'Ring' und dessen Tradierung an die nächste Generation interessieren: anschaulich, erhellend und bisweilen unterhaltsam!
