Download or read book Opera and Vivaldi written by Michael Collins and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2014-09-05 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the New York Times review of the Dallas Opera's performance of Orlando furioso and the international symposium on Baroque opera: ". . . it was a serious, thoughtful, consistent and imaginative realization of a beautiful, long-neglected work, one that fully deserved all the loving attention it received. As such, the production and its attendant symposium made a positive contribution to the cause of Baroque opera . . . . " Baroque opera experienced a revival in the late twentieth century. Its popularity, however, has given rise to a number of perplexing and exciting questions regarding literary sources, librettos, theater design, set design, stage movement, and costumes—even the editing of the operas. In 1980, the Dallas Opera produced the American premier of Vivaldi's Orlando furioso, which met with much acclaim. Concurrently an international symposium on the subject of Baroque opera was held at Southern Methodist University. Authorities from around the world met to discuss the operatic works of Vivaldi, Handel, and other Baroque composers as well as the characteristics of the genre. Michael Collins and Elise Kirk, deputy chair and chair of the symposium, edited the papers to produce this groundbreaking study, which will be of great interest to music scholars and opera lovers throughout the world. Contributors to Opera and Vivaldi include Shirley Wynne, John Walter Hill, Andrew Porter, Eleanor Selfridge-Field, Howard Mayer Brown, William Holmes, Ellen Rosand, and the editors.
Book Synopsis The Modern Castrato by : Patricia Howard
Download or read book The Modern Castrato written by Patricia Howard and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2014-05-01 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Modern Castrato: Gaetano Guadagni and the Coming of a New Operatic Age chronicles the career of the most significant castrato of the second half of the eighteenth-century. Through a coincidence of time and place, Gaetano Guadagni was on the forefront of the heroic opera reform, and many forward-thinking composers of the age created roles for him. Author Patricia Howard reveals that Guadagni may have been the only singer of the time fully able to understand the demands and opportunities of this reform, as well to possess the intelligence and self-knowledge to realize that it suited his skills, limitations and temperament perfectly--making him the first castrato to embrace the concepts of modern singing. The first full-length biography of this outstanding singer, The Modern Castrato illuminates the everyday lives of eighteenth-century singers while spotlighting the historic high points of the century. Most famous for his creation of the role of Orpheus in Gluck's Orfeo ed Euridice, his career ranged widely and brought him into contact with many progressives theorists and composers such as Traetta, Jommelli, and Bertoni. Howard's focus on the development of Guadagni's career pauses on essential, related topics along the way, such as the castrato in society, the eighteenth-century revolution in acting, and the remarkable evidence for Guadagni's marionette theater. Howard also assesses Guadagni's surviving compositions, which give new insight into the quality and character of his voice as well as his technical and expressive abilities. The Modern Castrato is an engaging narrative that will prove essential reading for opera lovers and scholars of eighteenth-century music.

Book excerpt: Cosa succederebbe se il tempo, invece di scorrere rettilineo si estendesse lungo la linea curva di una spirale? Forse i miti del passato ritroverebbero realtà e consistenza ogni volta che le condizioni lo favorissero. Creta, 2000 a. C.: si diffonde il culto della dea del serpenti. A quel periodo risale la narrazione del mito di Arianna, Teseo e il Minotauro. Gennaio 2013 in una località lombarda: la tredicenne Arianna tiene un diario su cui trascrive tutto quello che le succede: i pensieri che le passano per la testa, i ricordi che riempiono la sua memoria, i sogni duri e oscuri provenienti da un passato mai conosciuto, e tutti gli orrori che possono abitare una adolescente della sua giovane età. E così scopre il destino mitologico che è dato da vivere a lei e ad Asterio, il suo fratello deforme. Fino alla fine. Tra sogni archetipici e grimori magici, tra amori adolescenziali e segreti inconfessabili un romanzo sulla solitudine di ogni vita.

Download or read book Dramma Per Musica written by Reinhard Strohm and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 1997-01-01 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Dramma per musica', the most usual term for Italian serious opera from the seventeenth to the early nineteenth century, was a modern, enlightened form of theater that presented a unified, artistically designed, dramatic enactment of human stories, expressed by the voice and underscored by the orchestra. This book illustrates the diversity of this baroque art form and explains how it has given us opera as we know it.
Download or read book Arianna written by Jennifer Saint and published by Marsilio Editori spa. This book was released on 2023-01-13T00:00:00+01:00 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arianna e la sorella Fedra, principesse di Creta e figlie del temuto re Minosse, crescono ascoltando riecheggiare il rumore degli zoccoli del fratello, il Minotauro, nel labirinto costruito sotto il palazzo. Ogni anno, quattordici giovani ateniesi vengono sacrificati per placare la fame del mostro. Quando il principe Teseo giunge a Creta per immolarsi alla creatura, Arianna si perde nei suoi occhi verdi e se ne innamora follemente. Ma aiutarlo a scappare dal labirinto significherebbe tradire la famiglia e il regno, e la ragazza conosce fin troppo bene le implicazioni di un gesto simile. Assillata dai dubbi ma determinata a farsi valere, Arianna prenderà una decisione che ribalterà tanto la sua sorte quanto il destino di Fedra. Entrambe dovranno affrontare le conseguenze di una scelta coraggiosa e sovversiva, che le spingerà a mettere in discussione il proprio ruolo in quanto figlie, mogli e madri in un mondo in cui le donne non sono altro che pedine su una scacchiera dominata dagli uomini e dagli dèi. Con uno stile vibrante e ipnotico, Jennifer Saint reinventa con originalità la famosa storia del Minotauro, della fuga di Teseo, dell’incontro con Dioniso e degli amori tormentati di Fedra e Arianna, dando vita a un’eroina indimenticabile e sfaccettata che saprà commuovere e incantare i lettori e le donne di oggi.
Book Synopsis Regina Mingotti: Diva and Impresario at the King's Theatre, London by : Michael Burden
Download or read book Regina Mingotti: Diva and Impresario at the King's Theatre, London written by Michael Burden and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Regina Mingotti was the first female impresario to run London's opera house. Born in Naples in 1722, she was the daughter of an Austrian diplomat, and had worked at Dresden under Hasse from 1747. Mingotti left Germany in 1752, and travelled to Madrid to sing at the Spanish court, where the opera was directed by the great castrato, Farinelli. It is not known quite how Francesco Vanneschi, the opera promoter, came to hire Mingotti, but in 1754 (travelling to England via Paris), she was announced as being engaged for the opera in London 'having been admired at Naples and other parts of Italy, by all the Connoisseurs, as much for the elegance of her voice as that of her features'. Michael Burden offers the first considered survey of Mingotti‘s London years, including material on Mingotti's publication activities, and the identification of the characters in the key satirical print 'The Idol'. Burden makes a significant contribution to the knowledge and understanding of eighteenth-century singers' careers and status, and discusses the management, the finance, the choice of repertory, and the pasticcio practice at The King's Theatre, Haymarket during the middle of the eighteenth century. Burden also argues that Mingotti‘s years with Farinelli influenced her understanding of drama, fed her appreciation of Metastasio, and were partly responsible for London labelling her a 'female Garrick'. The book includes the important publication of the complete texts of both of Mingotti's Appeals to the Publick, accounts of the squabble between Mingotti and Vanneschi, which shed light on the role a singer could play in the replacement of arias.
