Mandy Fredrich stammt aus Rädigke im Fläming. Sie studierte bei Robert Gambill an der Universität der Künste Berlin, bei Regina Werner-Dietrich an der Hochschule für Musik und Theater Leipzig sowie bei Margreet Honig und Renata Scotto.[1] Zuvor hatte sie eine Berufsausbildung als Mediengestalterin beim Rundfunksender Deutsche Welle abgeschlossen und arbeitete parallel zu ihrem Studium für Gesangspädagogik bei Jutta Schlegel an der Universität der Künste Berlin als Toningenieurin.[2] Noch während ihres Studiums gab sie 2009 ihr Operndebüt als Königin der Nacht in Die Zauberflöte. 2012 sang sie diese Rolle bei den Salzburger Festspielen unter der Leitung von Nikolaus Harnoncourt.[3] Sie gastierte am Opernhaus Zürich als Prima Donna in Donizettis Le convenienze ed inconvenienze teatrali und sang weitere Hauptrollen an der Deutschen Oper Berlin und am New National Theatre Tokyo, an der Royal Danish Opera in Kopenhagen, der Semperoper in Dresden und an der Oper Köln. Weitere Rollen waren bei den Bregenzer Festspielen, an der Staatsoper unter den Linden in Berlin und am Gewandhaus Leipzig.[4] In den Spielzeiten 2015/16-2017/18 war Fredrich festes Ensemblemitglied an der Staatsoper Stuttgart. Sie debütierte dort in französischen Rollen. Sie war die Marguerite in Faust in der Inszenierung von Frank Castorf und sang die Titelheldin in Iphigénie en Aulide. Zum Ende ihres Festengagements debütierte sie als Agathe in Der Freischütz.[5] An der Staatsoper unter den Linden[6] in Berlin sang sie Frau Fluth in Die lustigen Weiber von Windsor unter der Leitung von Daniel Barenboim. Als Marguerite in Charles Gounods Oper Faust trat sie an der Wiener Staatsoper[7] unter der Leitung von Frédéric Chaslin und am Royal Opera House[8] in London unter der Leitung von Dan Ettinger auf. An der Mailänder Scala wirkte sie in Galakonzerten unter der Leitung von Manfred Honeck mit und debütierte in der Spielzeit 2021/22 unter Zubin Mehta beim Maggio Musicale Fiorentino in Florenz in der 9. Sinfonie von Ludwig van Beethoven[9] und in Die Schöpfung von Joseph Haydn.[10] Im Oktober 2022 wirkte sie in einer konzertanten Aufführung der Operette Die schöne Galathée von Franz von Suppè mit dem Münchner Rundfunkorchester unter der Leitung von Ivan Repu?ic mit.[11] In der Spielzeit 22/23 gibt Mandy Fredrich ihr Debüt als Gutrune in der Götterdämmerung unter der Leitung von Christian Thielemann in der Inszenierung von Dmitri Tcherniakov an der Staatsoper unter den Linden[12] und ihr Hausdebüt als Contessa an der Opéra de Lyon.[13] Weitere Konzerteinladungen führen sie u. a. in die Laeiszhalle nach Hamburg für die 9. Sinfonie von Ludwig van Beethoven und Die Schöpfung von Joseph Haydn unter der Leitung von Sylvain Cambreling[14] und an das Auditorio Nacional de Música in Madrid für die 8. Sinfonie von Gustav Mahler unter der Leitung von David Afkham.[15] Als Liedsängerin setzt Mandy Fredrich in ihren moderierten Programmen bisher Schwerpunkte auf das französische Repertoire von Gabriel Fauré, Pauline Viardot und Eric Satie sowie auf Lieder der deutschen Romantik von Richard Strauss, Franz Schubert und Dora Pejacevic. Sie arbeitet regelmäßig mit Eric Schneider[16] und Matthias Samuil zusammen. Der Deutschlandfunk Kultur sendete eine Aufzeichnung ihres Programms Du wirst nicht weinen zusammen mit Alan Hamilton in der Staatsgalerie Stuttgart durch die Internationale Hugo-Wolf-Akademie in Stuttgart.[17] /// Standort Wimregal PKis-Box78-U018 Sprache: Deutsch Gewicht in Gramm: 10.

Zustand: Gut. 138 S. Einband leicht berieben. - A lifetime member of the Manuscript Society, Joe Maddalena is widely recognized as the nation's leading authority on historical documents. Maddalena won a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records in 1991 for paying a then-record price at public auction for a handwritten letter of Abraham Lincoln dated January 8, 1863, regarding his issuance of the Emancipation Proclamation, for $748,000. Maddalena sits on the boards of various private foundations, and has built a permanent display of historical documents at the Beverly Hills Public Library and another at the Portland Oregon Historical Society to further the public's awareness of U.S. history. His expertise is well known and relied on. In 1997, Maddalena was instrumental in exposing the Lex Cusak $13 million dollar JFK/Marilyn Monroe forgery hoax, and was interviewed by Peter Jennings of 20/20 as the industry expert. In February 2009, Maddalena worked with the Library of Congress to stage and secure manuscripts for "With Malice Toward None: The Abraham Lincoln Exhibition," the most successful exhibition in its history, celebrating the 200th anniversary of Lincoln's birthday. The exhibition ran from February through May 2009, after which it traveled to five U.S. cities. Founded in 1986, Profiles in History has bought and sold some of the most important manuscripts in existence for its clients. Early in his career, Joe had the pleasure to work with and be trained by noted autograph expert Charles Hamilton, and then later by Chuck Sachs of the Scriptorium. Maddalena states, "After three decades of being a full-time dealer of manuscripts and rare books for our worldwide clientele, I have decided to pursue auction as the best way to bring wonderful materials on a regular basis to market as we have done in other fields of collecting."

The letter begins: 'When my Eugenic play "The Blindness of Virtue" was first produced at the Little Theatre two years ago [i.e. in 1912] (about which Dr Saleeby [i.e. eugenicist Caleb Saleeby (1878-1940)] wrote very kindly & in great agreement in the P. M. G) you were kind enough to send a member of your staff to see me for a talk.' He explains that since that time he has had the play 'in the United States & Canada where it is still running & I have many more things to say about it & those places'. He suggests a meeting at the Ambassadors Theatre, where he has a production, one morning that week. He ends with 'great admiration for your wonderful work for our Georgeridden country'. Pencil note at head: 'We'd better do this. RB'. The writer of the note is identified, in another pencil hand, as Robert Bell, the recipient named as F. A. H. Eyles.

The two items in fair condition, on aged and worn paper. ONE: To 'C. Lavers Smith, Esq'. 21 April 1903. 2pp., landscape 8vo. He asks 'whether prints are to be had of Nell Gwynne's reputed birthplace at Hereford'. He made enquiries about the house in Hereford on the previous Saturday. 'It was pulled down in 1861; but in 1858 two photographs of it were taken, and I found an old photographer who had negatives which he promised to lend to me for a small consideration. I was pleased to get them.' As Lavers-Smith knows 'a great deal more' about the subject, he will be pleased to hear whether he has 'seen any old prints of the house. The Hereford people are firmly convinced that Nell was born in their city. They have put up a tablet in the wall behind which the house stood, & they have turned the name of the street from Water Lane into Gwynne Street.' In a postscript he thanks him 'for the admirable review of Grammont'. TWO: To 'H. Lavers-Smith, Esq. | Woodstock, Ditton Hill, Surbiton'. 4 May 1903. 1p., landscape 8vo. He thanks him for his letter, and hopes that 'Mr. Brick will allow me to make a block from his photograph of the house in Drury Lane.' He continues: 'Mr. Goodwin is emphatic on the subject of Nell Gwynne's birthplace. He insists that she was born at Oxford & had nothing to do with the Hereford house. Still the Hereford house was a picturesque old place and I intend to give illustrations of it.' He ends by thanking him for a reference to 'Notes & Queries'.

1p., 4to. 31 lines of text, written in a neat and close hand. The letter begins in lighthearted fashion: 'Dear Martha, | I never wrote Poetry in my life, and write as you see a very prosaic Hand; I hope you are not one who form your ideas of character from Handwriting, if you do, I ifear you will regard me as stiff, stubborn, unbending, self willed, and self-opinionated, and very likely you will be not far wrong.' He boasts of having known the recipient and her 'three amiable sisters' for 14 years, and discusses his relationship with them (their father being his mother's cousin), and the fact that his sister, who died at the age of 14 in 1830, 'was named Alison Dewar White: she was a lovely girl, and was removed, just when her accomplishments had begun to manifest themselves and her education to tell'. The final paragraph concerns 'the Rev James Hamilton, author of "Life in Earnest" "The Dew of Hermon" & many other admirable tracts & essays [.] He is a man of very considerable mental powers, of a most cultivated intellect, specially fond of botany & entomology and like me a Fellow off the Linnean Society of London'. The letter concludes: 'my paper fails & I get garrulously gossiping'. In 1851 Darwin provided White with a testimonial in which he expressed his 'high opinion' of his 'Zoological attainments', and praising his 'great zeal for every branch of Natural History'.
