"Western Influence on Asia; Opera and Society and a Dilemma"
Please respond to
one (1)
of the following,
using sources under the Explore heading
as the basis of your response:
Describe (1) example of how either black slaves or white
abolitionists used literature or the visual arts as a form of
protest against slavery; and compare this to a modern example
of art used for social protest. This may seem redundant from
last week, but building upon additional readings, key here is
how you relate modern issues to the foundation of, impact of
slavery protest and add new ideas from what we have discussed
to-date!
Building on the key motives involved in the increased presence
of Westerners in India, China, and Japan in the 1700s and 1800s
- British policies influences, how can you relate them to
contemporary trade issues between the US and/or India, China
and Japan?
What lessons have we learned in our current policies, or not?
Read, listen to, and watch the sources for the opera composers
at the Websites below and in this week's Music Folder.
Pick one composer, identify and discuss the major influences
they exerted upon opera in terms of making it more innovative,
realistic, and even controversial.
Next, consider Wagner and this dilemma: Wagner's brilliance is
clear because his works remain some of the most popular and
admired productions in our own time. Yet, he was a blatantly
antisemitic and held notions of racial purity, traits that have
stained his artistic legacy. (This was compounded by the later
celebration of Wagner's music by Hitler and the Nazis). New
York Times writer Anthony Tommasini wrote of Wagner in
2005: "How did such sublime music come from such a warped
man? Maybe art really does have the power to ferret out the best
in us."
So relating to Wagner, consider the issue of whether we should
or can separate the artist from the art, whether we can
appreciate the art but reject the artist. Or whether we should
reject both the person and his or her art. Identify one (1)
modern musician or artist where this dilemma arises.
This question asks you to reverse our focus – start with the
modern adaptation to search and explore, then look back to
address cultural impact(s). How can you relate a modern opera
to our CH readings this week?
Choose (1) below to explore the modern application and how it
ties to our weekly learning:
Modern operas include:
Amahl and the Night Visitors
, Gian-Carlo Menotti, about the visit of the Three Kings to a
humble peasant.
Candide
, Leonard Bernstein’s comic opera based on Voltaire’s famous
satire.
Sweeney Todd,
Stephen Sondheim’s operatic take on a creaky nineteenth-
century horror play.
The Ghosts of Versailles
, John Corigliano’s opera about the rav
ages of the French Revolution.

  • 1. "Western Influence on Asia; Opera and Society and a Dilemma" Please respond to one (1) of the following, using sources under the Explore heading as the basis of your response: Describe (1) example of how either black slaves or white abolitionists used literature or the visual arts as a form of protest against slavery; and compare this to a modern example of art used for social protest. This may seem redundant from last week, but building upon additional readings, key here is how you relate modern issues to the foundation of, impact of slavery protest and add new ideas from what we have discussed to-date! Building on the key motives involved in the increased presence of Westerners in India, China, and Japan in the 1700s and 1800s - British policies influences, how can you relate them to contemporary trade issues between the US and/or India, China and Japan? What lessons have we learned in our current policies, or not? Read, listen to, and watch the sources for the opera composers at the Websites below and in this week's Music Folder. Pick one composer, identify and discuss the major influences they exerted upon opera in terms of making it more innovative, realistic, and even controversial. Next, consider Wagner and this dilemma: Wagner's brilliance is clear because his works remain some of the most popular and admired productions in our own time. Yet, he was a blatantly antisemitic and held notions of racial purity, traits that have stained his artistic legacy. (This was compounded by the later celebration of Wagner's music by Hitler and the Nazis). New York Times writer Anthony Tommasini wrote of Wagner in 2005: "How did such sublime music come from such a warped man? Maybe art really does have the power to ferret out the best in us."
  • 2. So relating to Wagner, consider the issue of whether we should or can separate the artist from the art, whether we can appreciate the art but reject the artist. Or whether we should reject both the person and his or her art. Identify one (1) modern musician or artist where this dilemma arises. This question asks you to reverse our focus – start with the modern adaptation to search and explore, then look back to address cultural impact(s).
