    Koanga de Frederick Delius : cherche premier opĂ©ra afro-amĂ©ricain dĂ©sespĂ©rĂ©ment Frederick Delius’s Koanga: desperately seeking first african-american opera

    Although Gershwin’s Porgy & Bess (1935) is still regarded by most critics as the first African-American opera, Louis Gruenberg’s The Emperor Jones (1933) and Scott Joplin’s Treemonisha (1910) have recently challenged this sacrosanct position. Today, according to some researchers, Frederick Delius’s Koanga, based upon the central episode of the story of “Bras coupĂ©â€ in George Cable’s The Grandissimes, composed in 1897 but whose premiĂšre took place in 1904, could claim to be “actually the first”. This statement obviously raises the question of the definition of an “African–American” and the attendant criteria. Through an analysis of the libretto as well as the reviews of the various performances from the late 1890’s to the early 1970’s, this article aims to assess the African-American criteria of Koanga

    On January 7, 1933, two years before Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess, The Emperor Jones, composed by Louis Gruenberg in 1931, had its world premiere at the Metropolitan Opera of New York. Although Gruenberg’s opera looks like a mere musical adaptation of O’Neill’s acclaimed play, first performed in 1920, some alterations made by the composer allow to question its ambivalent reception by the audience and the critics. Apart from the singular choice of O’Neill’s play and Gruenberg’s special interest in African American music and vocal traditions, this paper analyses the influence of the Harlem Renaissance period and the fantasmatics of race, present in both the play and the opera, albeit exacerbated in the latter through the scopic enjoyment of the body of the black Other

    L’ouvrage collectif qui suit rassemble les communications donnĂ©es dans le cadre du colloque international « OpĂ©ra et sociĂ©tĂ© dans le monde anglophone », tenu en octobre 2003 Ă  l’UniversitĂ© de Caen et organisĂ© par l’Équipe de Recherche « LittĂ©rature et civilisation des pays de langue anglaise ». Ce colloque s’inscrivait dans une perspective rĂ©solument interdisciplinaire, puisqu’il rassemblait des anglicistes mais Ă©galement des musicologues et spĂ©cialistes du thĂ©Ăątre. Une telle pluridisciplinaritĂ© Ă©tait conditionnĂ©e par le sujet d’étude lui-mĂȘme, si tant est que l’on considĂšre cette entitĂ© hybride et composite qu’est l’opĂ©ra Ă  la façon de Wagner, soit comme un Gesamtkunstwerk, une Ɠuvre d’art totale au sein de laquelle fusionnent et tentent de s’harmoniser, dans un Ă©quilibre certes prĂ©caire et Ă©minemment volatil, la musique, le drame, la poĂ©sie, la mimesis thĂ©Ăątrale – entre autres Ă©lĂ©ments
