One of the most classic methods, \u201cscent,\u201d has been used in European stage productions since the mid-19th century. Especially in France, where the \u201cbourgeoisification of the sense of smell\u201d (Corbin 1982) progressed in the 19th century, the changing values of fragrance over time were reflected in artistic productions. In operas, scent and the sense of smell were essential elements in the text, music, and stage direction.<br \/>\nIn this presentation, using Jules Massenet\u2019s (1842-1912) opera \u201cThais\u201d (1894) as a case study, I will analyze the characteristics and background of the synergistic effect of text and music on fragrance in French opera from the late 19th to the early 20th century. Finally, the possibilities of scent production in contemporary operas will be shown.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul style=\"list-style-type: square;\">\n<li>Profile of Presenter:<br \/>\nDr. Mariko Kasahara is a Project Researcher of the Humanities Center at the University of Tokyo and also an adjunct researcher at the Institute for Research in Opera and Music Theatre at Waseda University. She has just completed her doctoral thesis, \u201cThe Mise en Sc\u00e8ne of Massenet\u2019s \u2018Manon\u2019: Analysis in the making process of an opera derived from a literature,\u201d at the Department of Cultural Resources Studies, Graduate School of Humanities and Sociology at the University of Tokyo. Her current academic interests are in Catholicism and scents depicted in French operas derived from literature during the Third Republic, opera staging, manga, and digital humanities.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul style=\"list-style-type: square;\">\n<li>Moderator: ONO, Hanae<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\uff0aComment: There were 20 participants.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Report of Monthly Regular Meeting January 2023 (The 208th Meeting of Opera Research Group) Waseda Institute fo [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":9945,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[95],"tags":[87,82,73],"class_list":["post-11391","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-en","tag-arts-en","tag-events-en","tag-research-en"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/cro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11391","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/cro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/cro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/cro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/cro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11391"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/cro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11391\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11883,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/cro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11391\/revisions\/11883"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/cro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9945"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/cro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11391"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/cro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11391"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/cro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11391"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
