As never before or since, Richard Wagner's name dominated American music-making at the close of the nineteenth century. Europe, too, was obsessed with Wagner, but—as Joseph Horowitz shows in this first history of Wagnerism in the United States—the American obsession was unique. The central figure in Wagner Nights is conductor Anton Seidl (1850-1898), a priestly and enigmatic personage in New York musical life. Seidl's own admirers included the women of the Brooklyn-based Seidl Society, who wore the letter "S" on their dresses. In the summers, Seidl conducted fourteen times a week at Brighton Beach, filling the three-thousand-seat music pavilion to capacity. The fact that most Wagnerites were women was a distinguishing feature of American Wagnerism and constituted a vital aspect of the fin-de-siècle ferment that anticipated the New American Woman. Drawing on the work of such cultural historians as T. Jackson Lears and Lawrence Levine, Horowitz's lively history reveals an "Americanized" Wagner never documented before. An entertaining and startling read, a treasury of operatic lore, Wagner Nights offers an unprecedented revisionist history of American culture a century ago. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1994.

Ernest Newman, il maggior esperto di Richard Wagner, esamina dieci tra le opere più famose del compositore tedesco, mettendo in rilievo i temi fondamentali, i miti, le fonti letterarie dei libretti e le evoluzioni stilistiche. Salutato come la più acuta ed esaustiva analisi dell’opera wagneriana, Wagner Nights ha riscosso l’entusiasmo senza riserve di specialisti e musicofili. Newman arricchisce l’analisi di trame, testi e musiche delle opere con materiali storici e biografici che trae dal suo immenso bagaglio di conoscenze accumulate in anni di studi dedicati al compositore. L’autore prende il lettore per mano e lo accompagna in un viaggio attraverso l’universo wagneriano; e lungo la strada chiarisce, con prosa lucida e numerosi esempi, tutte le intuizioni delle partiture musicali, i principali leitmotiv e le loro interconnessioni. Questa nuova edizione italiana di Wagner Nights è la prima traduzione integrale del testo originale.

Wagner is one of the most controversial of composers, and much that has been written about him--including his autobiography--is misleading. Barry Millington draws on the best previous scholarship and his own original research to set the record straight. The first part of this book is devoted to biography; the second, to a detailed study of the operas. Millington offers a historical review of the critical interpretation of each opera, including a discussion of recent methods of formal analysis. In this revised edition, two chapters, those on Tannhauser and Die Meistersinger, include significant new material. The bibliography has also been updated.
