Classical Music and Opera During and After the COVID-19 Pandemic
The global COVID-19 pandemic, the resulting lockdown imposed in many countries, as well as related safety measures taken by governments and authorities, have posed significant challenges to classical music culture. However, they may also have had a stimulating effect on music festivals and opera houses’ streaming offerings. This book brings together experts from the fields of musicology and music management to share their current empirical research findings on the pandemic-evoked digital transformation of the classical music scene, addressing either the institutional or the reception perspective. Furthermore, it documents discussions with opera dramaturgs and artistic directors, as well as...
Small Places, Operatic Issues
This book details original case studies that represent five different social positions or characterisations of opera: namely, opera as social showcase from Bayreuth (1748), social distinction from Ljubljana (1887), social conflict from Brno (1920), social status from Mantua (1999) and social manifest from Belgrade (2005). These positions, which indicate opera’s social diversity in local, regional, provincial, and peripheral terms, as well as its social mutuality in international, transnational, global, or metropolitan terms, generally promote the idea of opera as a social venue, cultural practice, theatrical scene, lyrical site, musical place, artistic experience, or transgenerational phen...
Mobile Prussia
Prussia as a nation-state, as a cultural state, as a military power: beyond these one-dimensional ideas, Ottmar Ette's new book unfolds the picture of a multi-perspective Prussia. From Anton Wilhelm Amo, the first black philosopher to matriculate at a Prussian university, to Frederick the Great's projection of the Prussian polity onto New Spain and the reign of Moctezuma, to the Dutch philosopher Cornelius de Pauw, who published his works in French in Berlin and fueled the worldwide Berlin debate about the New World, from the Jewish salon of Rahel Varnhagen to Heinrich von Kleist's imagination of the Haitian Revolution to Adelbert von Chamisso and Alexander von Humboldt, who was not consider...
The Cultural Identities of European Cities
Cities are both real and imaginary places whose identity is dependent on their distinctive heritage: a network of historically transmitted cultural resources. The essays in this volume, which originate from a lecture series at the Institute of Germanic & Romance Studies, University of London, explore the complex and multi-layered identities of European cities. Themes that run through the essays include: nostalgia for a grander past; location between Eastern and Western ideologies, religions and cultures; and the fluidity and palimpsest quality of city identity. Not only does the book provide different thematic angles and a variety of approaches to the investigation of city identity, it also emphasizes the importance of diverse cultural components. The essays presented here discuss cultural forms as various as music, architecture, literature, journalism, philosophy, television, film, myths, urban planning and the naming of streets.

Nichts nützt dem Staat so wie die Musik
Staatsrepräsentation bedient sich häufig musikalischer Elemente. Der Band thematisiert diese spezifische Koppelung von Musik und Politik mit besonderem Akzent auf dem Aufführungscharakter staatlicher Veranstaltungen. Musik stiftet mehrfach Sinn: durch ihre Präsenz in der Performanz und durch ein historisch gewachsenes, politisch konnotiertes Repertoire. Während Letzteres bereits politologische und musikologische Forschungstraditionen begründet hat, ist das Performative bislang eher rudimentär beleuchtet worden. Der Band schließt diese Lücke, indem er den Staat als musikalischen Akteur ins Zentrum rückt. Theoretische Ansätze treten neben interdisziplinär ausgerichtete Perspektiven...

Die Notengeber
Studierende der Hochschule für Musik, Theater und Medien Hannover gehen in 18 Interviews mit namhaften deutschen Musikkritikerinnen und -kritikern – darunter Volker Hagedorn, Markus Kavka, Claus Spahn, Falk Schacht und andere – der Frage nach, wie sich die Rolle von Musikjournalisten verändert. Sie ist längst nicht mehr unangefochten. Im Web 2.0 kann sich heute jeder, ob Experte oder nicht, an jenem „Gespräch über Musik“ beteiligen, das einmal das Monopol professioneller Beobachter war. Das muss nicht das Ende der Musikkritik bedeuten. Möglicherweise steht sie sogar vor einem Neubeginn, weil nur sie Orientierung und Halt in der Informationsflut geben kann.
