French Opera Revolutionary Sublime

项目摘要

When the entire population of Meyerbeer's grand opera _Le Prophète_ (1849) was engulfed by a spectacular exploding palace, following a failed uprising, the tableau was widely received as merging political and aesthetic ideas of 1848 with those of the 1790s, and confirming the end of revolutionary idealism. Such tableaux were a crucial part of the discourse on the unrepresentable nature of revolutionary experience, and were found in operas in the 1790s, the 1820s and the 1850s. This project seeks to establish the nature of the relationship between revolution, cataclysmic operatic tableau and the sublime that emerged in 1790s Paris, and to trace how it evolved during the first half of the nineteenth century at moments of revolutionary crisis. The aesthetic effect of such tableaux and their impact on audiences will be analysed in the context of wider political and cultural experiences, and some of the ways in which these tableaux influenced operatic practices elsewhere in Europe will be identified.The project brings together three distinct research areas: the relationship between opera and political culture; opera and effect; and exchanges between different operatic traditions. A broadly interdisciplinary approach will be adopted, combining close reading of the music, staging manuals and librettos of individual operas with reception study and precise cultural, scientific and political contextualisation. Exciting scholarship is emerging in the realm of music and science that can help us to understand how such spectacular effects were created, and to theorise the perceptual overload and shock effects that they engendered, which (arguably) triggered the recall of real-life events. Four one-day workshops, in which specific ideas will be analysed from different disciplinary and/or national perspectives, will be integral to the research and dissemination processes: Sensory Perception and Drama; Music and Memory; Opera and Technology in Nineteenth-Century Europe; Travelling Opera. The principal output will be a monograph, _French Opera and the Revolutionary Sublime_, structured around the tableaux of five key operas by Luigi Cherubini (two), Gioachino Rossini, Giacomo Meyerbeer and Félicien David. It will be the first monograph to examine the impact of the French revolution on the development of nineteenth-century opera, and will situate the case studies a) in the context of France's evolving relationship with the 1789 revolution and its aftermath, and b) in relation to technological innovation and scientific understanding of the senses during the first half of the nineteenth century. Other outputs will include two articles, conference papers, a conference panel (leading to a special issue for the _Cambridge Opera Journal_) and teaching materials. A range of public talks, podcasts, broadcasts and programme notes will disseminate the research findings to a range of audiences via the Royal Opera House, Opera North, the Broadway Cinema (Nottingham), Derby Museum and the BBC, and thus support and inform the increasing interest in staging French grand operas, and in exploring opera's effects and political meanings. A short placement at the Royal Opera House aims to advance the relationship between academic research, creative practice and programming policy.

当迈耶比尔的大歌剧《预言》（1849）中的所有人在一次失败的起义后被一座壮观的爆炸宫殿吞没时，这一场景被广泛认为是1848年的政治和美学思想与18世纪90年代的思想的融合，并证实了革命理想主义的终结。这种场景是关于革命经验的不可再现性的论述的关键部分，在18世纪90年代、19世纪20年代和19世纪50年代的歌剧中都能找到。这个项目旨在建立革命，灾难性的歌剧画面和崇高之间的关系，出现在1790年代巴黎的性质，并跟踪它如何演变在19世纪上半叶的革命危机的时刻。将在更广泛的政治和文化经验的背景下分析这些场景的美学效果及其对观众的影响，并确定这些场景影响欧洲其他地方歌剧实践的一些方式。该项目汇集了三个不同的研究领域：歌剧与政治文化之间的关系;歌剧与效果;以及不同歌剧传统之间的交流。将采用广泛的跨学科方法，将音乐，舞台手册和个人歌剧剧本的近距离阅读与接受研究和精确的文化，科学和政治背景相结合。令人兴奋的学术研究正在音乐和科学领域出现，可以帮助我们理解这种壮观的效果是如何产生的，并将它们产生的感知过载和冲击效应理论化，这（可以说）引发了对现实生活事件的回忆。四个为期一天的研讨会，其中具体的想法将从不同的学科和/或国家的角度进行分析，将是研究和传播过程中不可或缺的：感官知觉和戏剧;音乐和记忆;歌剧和技术在十九世纪的欧洲;旅行歌剧。主要产出将是一本专著《法国歌剧和革命的崇高》，围绕Luigi Cherubini（两部）、Gioachino Rossini、Giacomo Meyerbeer和Félicien大卫的五部主要歌剧的舞台布景展开。这将是第一本研究法国大革命对19世纪歌剧发展影响的专著，并将在法国与1789年革命及其后果不断发展的关系的背景下，以及B）与十九世纪上半叶的技术创新和对感官的科学理解有关的案例研究。其他产出将包括两篇文章、会议文件、一个会议小组（最后为《剑桥歌剧杂志》制作一期特刊）和教材。一系列的公开讲座，播客，广播和节目说明将通过皇家歌剧院，北歌剧院，百老汇电影院（诺丁汉），德比博物馆和英国广播公司向一系列观众传播研究结果，从而支持和宣传对上演法国大歌剧，探索歌剧的影响和政治意义的日益增长的兴趣。在皇家歌剧院的一个短期职位旨在促进学术研究、创作实践和节目政策之间的关系。
