    Introduction

    Social contact is one of the most effective strategies for improving inter-group relations and is supported by decades of positive evidence. Several studies specifically support social contact interventions as a way of reducing stigma against people with mental health problems. Despite the effectiveness of this approach, some social groups have few opportunities for social contact in the real world.

    Objectives

    Using the England Time to Change anti-stigma campaign as an example, we investigate the feasibility and effectiveness of delivering social contact interventions at the mass population level to reduce stigma and discrimination against people with mental health problems.

    Aims

    To investigate: (i) the feasibility of scaling up social contact interventions to reduce stigma and discrimination against people with mental health problems and (ii) the effectiveness of mass population social contact interventions to: improve intended stigmatising behaviour, increase willingness to disclose mental health problems and to promote engagement in antistigma activities.

    Methods

    Two types of mass participation social contact programmes within England's Time to Change campaign were evaluated via self-report questionnaire. Participants at social contact events were asked about the occurrence and quality of contact, attitudes, readiness to discuss mental health, and intended behaviour towards people with mental health problems.

    Results

    Findings on feasibility and effectiveness of social contact programmes will be presented.

    Conclusion

    This study suggests that social contact interventions can be used by anti-stigma campaigns to reduce stigma and discrimination against people with mental health problems. Further investigation is needed regarding the maintenance of these changes

    Summary

    Whilst the relationship between equidistance and equitable principles within the maritime delimitation process is much discussed, the nature and role of relevant circumstances receives little attention. They are a broad range of factors, which contribute to the identification of the appropriate method of delimitation to be applied and/or influencing the manner in which the appropriate method is applied in practice. These are not mutually exclusive alternatives and attempts in recent case-law to restrict the role of relevant circumstances to the ‘second’ stage of the delimitation process are misplaced. Whilst it is neither possible nor desirable to construct a definitive list, the potential relevance of factors related to coastal geography is well attested. The role of natural prolongation remains disputed but is best understood as reflecting the idea of ‘cut-off’, and thus also linked to the question of coastal geography, reflecting the idea that ‘the land dominates the sea’. Factors related in activities and interests within the area to be delimited – related to resources, security and conduct – tend not to be acknowledged but have a powerful influence and so, in their own way, ought to be seen as such.

    Summary

    A comprehensive documentation of the performances conducted by Charles Mackerras over more than sixty years is beyond the scope of this book. The following lists include performances that Mackerras conducted with some of the opera companies and orchestras with which he worked closely, and they also relate to specific chapters in the book. Mackerras was an astonishingly busy conductor, so these lists can only give a snapshot of his activity with a few selected organisations. Each list is as complete as we have been able to make it with the information available.

    A SWO/ENO performances, 1970–77

    B Janáček opera performances, 1951–2010

    C San Francisco Opera performances, 1969–2000

    D WNO performances, 1950–2009

    E ROH performances, 1955–2010

    F Performances in Czechoslovakia and the Czech Republic, and with Czech orchestras abroad, 1961–2008

    G OAE performances, 1987–2010

    H SCO performances, 1993–2010

    I Philharmonia performances, 2002–09

    A SWO/ENO performances, 1970–77

    (See Chapter 1)

    The following is a list of operas conducted by Mackerras with SWO/ENO during his time as the company's Music Director. Figures in brackets represent the number of performances of each work Mackerras conducted, including those on tour (at home and abroad) as well as concert performances at the BBC Proms. Performances with the company after 1 January 1978 are not included.

    1970

    New productions: Beethoven: Leonore, p. Basil Coleman, d. Tony Abbott, Joan and Ann Bloomfield (7); Bizet: Carmen, p. John Copley, d. Stefanos Lazaridis and David Walker (5).

    By the time of his death in 2010 at the age of 84, Sir Charles Mackerras had achieved widespread recognition, recorded extensively and developed into a conductor of major international significance. In addition to areas in which he already had forged a distinctive and definitive profile (Janacek, Mozart, Handel, Sullivan) he revisited - and rethought - much of the standard repertoire. The last thirty years were particularly momentous in the coming to fruition of so many cherished projects: not only the Janacek operas but the Gilbert and Sullivan series, the Mozart operas, the two Beethoven cycles, other projects with the Scottish Chamber Orchestra (Schumann and Brahms at Edinburgh; the outstanding late Mozart) and at the Royal Opera House and the Met. Unspoilt by fame, and undeterred by personal tragedies and increasing physical frailty, he remained productive and inventive: for him music-making, whether with world-class professionals or with students, was a kind of joyous oxygen that kept him going right to the end. A detailed narrative account of his life by Nigel Simeone is complemented by chapters written by performers and scholars who worked closely with him: Alfred Brendel, Dame Janet Baker, David Lloyd-Jones, Dame Anne Evans, Sir Antonio Pappano, Sir Nicholas Hytner, John Tyrrell and Jiri Zahradka. There are also chapters based on interviews with his family. The book is illustrated with photographs, both informal and professional, and is supplemented by an up-to-date discography, by listings of all the performances of Janacek operas Sir Charles conducted and of all his concerts in Czechoslovakia and the Czech Republic. While Sir Charles' whole life is considered, emphasis is given to his final quarter century in which so many important projects were realized. This book celebrates and epitomizes an exceptional life. NIGEL SIMEONE has published books on Janacek, Messiaen and Bernstein. JOHN TYRRELL has published books on Janacek and Czech opera and, with Sir Charles Mackerras, edited two Janacek operas. Contributors: Janet Baker, Alfred Brendel, Ales Brezina, Rosenna East, Anne Evans, Nicholas Hytner, Simon Keenlyside, David Lloyd-Jones, David Mackie, Chi-chi Nwanoku, Antonio Pappano, Nigel Simeone, John Stein, Heinz Stolba, Patrick Summers, John Tyrrell, Malcolm Walker, David Whelton, Jiri Zahradka.

    Summary

    The idea for this book came originally from members of the Mackerras family, particularly Charles's widow, Judy, who saw the text in proof before her death on 13 December 2014, his daughter Catherine (Cathy) and his sisters Joan and Elizabeth. Since both authors have been passionate admirers of Mackerras's conducting for many years, it was an opportunity we relished. At our initial meeting with Cathy, she encouraged us to develop the project as we thought best, and offered generous support. This included access to her father's private papers, which has enabled us to publish a number of letters and documents for the first time, shedding light on several significant aspects of his career and his working methods. An important consideration from the outset was how our book could usefully complement Nancy Phelan's admirable 1987 biography, Charles Mackerras: A Musician's Musician. One obvious way was to concentrate on the years since Phelan's book was published, which included some of the busiest and most rewarding of Charles's career. Moreover, this book was an opportunity to evaluate the whole of a remarkable life in music. To do that more effectively, we decided to include chapters on specific composers and on his relationships with particular musicians, opera companies and orchestras.

    This book is neither a conventional biography, nor is it a symposium, but it aims to combine elements of both: chapters on periods in Mackerras's career are interwoven with more specialised essays and shorter contributions which aim to illuminate his approach to music-making from those who saw it at close quarters. To do this effectively, we asked a number of people who worked closely with Mackerras to write about their collaborations with him. The response from all those we asked was unfailingly positive, and their contributions are informative as well as affectionate, helping the reader to understand more fully how he worked and some of the life-long musical enthusiasms that drove him.
