THE METASTASiAN ORATORIO AND OPERA SERL4: A COMPARATIVE STUDY Wade Kenneth Wright Graduate Progam in Music Submitted in partial Fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Faculty of Graduate Studies The University of Western Ontario London. Ontario Janii;ur 3000 6 Wade K. Wright 2000 ABSTRACT Contemporary accounts of the oratorios of Pieho Metastasio frequently lead to comparisons with the theatrical genres, particularly the opera seria. Yet. apart fiom these brief observations. the Metastasian oratorio has never been compared with the Metastasian opera seriu. thus prompting and justifj4ng this investigation. Since Metastasio's libretti were set repeatedly. the oratorio La passione di Gesù Cristo (1730) and the opera L 'Olimpiadr ( 1 73 3 ). written by Metastasio and set by Antonio Caldara for the Viemese court. will sme as the principal vehicles for cornparison. In chapter one. the political. econornic. and social environment in which these works were witten is established and an account of the Viennese sepolcro is provided, prirnarily because La passione is a product of this nadition. Chapters two and three consist. respectively. of a comparative study of the libretti and their musical settings. Finally. the conclusions assess the resuits of these comparisons in light of subsequent adaptations. Krywords: Metastasio. Caldara oratorio. opera seria. La pussionr.

Pietro Metastasio was required to provide [ihretti for sacred and seculas dramatic performances and the Vke-Kapellmeister. Antonio Caldara (died 1736). was accountable for severai of their fiat musical settings. Givrn this mutual participation. investigations of the eighteenth-cenniry Metastasian opera and oratorio have tended to suggest that both genres. their most obvious differences aside, resmble each othrr in structure and style. Joyce Johnson. for example. states that "both the operas and the ontonos wrinen by Metastasio are structured along similar lines"' and Howard Srnither daims that "cornposers seem not to have distinguished stylistically between O~O~Oand serious opera."' Smither Mercontends that: ... the texts and the music [of the oratorio] are modelled on those of contemporary open. Thus. O~O~Oand open tend to exhibit the same kinds of stylization of "affections." or emotional states. in their poetry and music and the çame kinds of structural and stylistic changes during the course of the Baroque period. As opera changes frorn the flexible combination of recitative and aria of the mid-seventeenth century toward the more highly stylized and rationalistic structures of the eighteenth cenniry. oratorio changes with it- or in somr respects behind it: as opera abandons the strophic and other procedures identified with the aria of the mid-seventeenth century in favour of the da capo aria oratorio does so as well: as opera minimizes the use of the chorus. so does oratorio: indeed. as Zeno and Metastasio introduce changes in the Italian opera libretto. they do likewise in the Italian oratorio libretto. and dius they change certain aspects of the oratorio's gened structure.'

While other scholars have alluded to this topic. typically in midies of one genre or the other and with a focus primarily upon music. no anempt has ken made to compare and contras1 the two in detail. thus prompting this investigation. A study aimed directly at a comparison of the libretto and score of an eighteenth- ccntury Metastasian oratorio and opera might well reveal similarities and differences that transcend those that have traditionally ken apparent to scholars concemed with either genre. It is. therefore. the intent of this snidy to augment conternporary understanding of this issue. not only by outlining the textual and musical similarities and differences that are easily identitiable. but also to seek hrther for those that are not- Sincc it is impossible. within the scope of this study. to compare ail musical settings of cvrp Metastasian O~O~Oand opera libretto. this investigation will focus upon a single representative exarnple of each genre. ïhus. the oratorio. La parsione di Gesù Cristo (1730). and the open. L 'Olimpiude (1 733). witten by Metastasio and set by Caldara for the Virnncse court around the same time. will serve as the principle vehicles for comparison. By drtrmining the various similarities and differencrs that exist between these two works. it will bc: possible to reveal elements that assist in Further defining the genres that they represent. The proposed study. however. has a secondary aim. From approximately 1660 to 1 710. in addition to the oratorio. librettists and composers at the Habsburg court cultivated the .sepolcro. a genre of sacred drarnatic music virtually unknown in other centres. An account of this genre is essential. not only because a cornprehensive overview of this genre is lacking. but aiso because the Metastasian oratorio chosen for examination is a product of this tradition.

  • Opera Olimpiade
    OPERA OLIMPIADE Pietro Metastasio’s L’Olimpiade, presented in concert with music penned by sixteen of the Olympian composers of the 18th century VENICE BAROQUE ORCHESTRA Andrea Marcon, conductor Romina Basso Megacle Franziska Gottwald Licida Karina Gauvin Argene Ruth Rosique Aristea Carlo Allemano Clistene Nicholas Spanos Aminta Semi-staged by Nicolas Musin SUMMARY Although the Olympic games are indelibly linked with Greece, Italy was progenitor of the Olympic operas, spawning a musical legacy that continues to resound in opera houses and concert halls today. Soon after 1733, when the great Roman poet Pietro Metastasio witnessed the premiere of his libretto L’Olimpiade in Vienna, a procession of more than 50 composers began to set to music this tale of friendship, loyalty and passion. In the course of the 18th century, theaters across Europe commissioned operas from the Olympian composers of the day, and performances were acclaimed in the royal courts and public opera houses from Rome to Moscow, from Prague to London. Pieto Metastasio In counterpoint to the 2012 Olympic games, Opera Olimpiade has been created to explore and celebrate the diversity of musical expression inspired by this story of the ancient games. Research in Europe and the United States yielded L’Olimpiade manuscripts by many composers, providing the opportunity to extract the finest arias and present Metastasio’s drama through an array of great musical minds of the century. Andrea Marcon will conduct the Venice Baroque Orchestra and a cast of six virtuosi singers—dare we say of Olympic quality—in concert performances of the complete libretto, a succession of 25 spectacular arias and choruses set to music by 16 Title page of David Perez’s L’Olimpiade, premiered in Lisbon in 1753 composers: Caldara, Vivaldi, Pergolesi, Leo, Galuppi, Perez, Hasse, Traetta, Jommelli, Piccinni, Gassmann, Mysliveek, Sarti, Cherubini, Cimarosa, and Paisiello.

  • Carlo Goldoni As Musical Reformer
    CARLO GOLDONI AS MUSICAL REFORMER IN SEARCH OF REALISM IN THE DRAMMA GIOCOSO La vraisemblance doit toujours être la principale règle, et sans laquelle toutes les autres deviennent déréglées. -l’Abbé d’Aubignac, La Pratique du Théâtre by Pervinca Rista Dissertation submitted to the Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Baltimore, Maryland March 18, 2015 © Pervinca Rista All Rights Reserved Abstract Venetian playwright Carlo Goldoni (1707-1793), who is best remembered in literary history for his realist ‘reform’ of comic theatre, was also a prolific librettist. In particular, his texts for music written from 1748 onwards remain understudied but warrant significant reappraisal, for Goldoni was one of the first to give shape to the dramma giocoso, an innovative and realistic new genre of opera that went on to have a lasting legacy all the way to W. A. Mozart and Lorenzo da Ponte. Through an interdisciplinary, historical approach and intertextual analysis, the present study reevaluates Goldoni’s drammi giocosi, largely overlooked by scholarship, to uncover the lasting innovations in form and content introduced by the Venetian playwright. Analysis of these texts also reveals clear affinity between Goldoni's contributions to the dramma giocoso and his reform of prose theatre. Most importantly, unlike other types of comic opera, the dramma giocoso has the particularity of combining buffo with serio, a dynamic that, through Goldoni's mature output, continually evolves to bring new realism and social relevance to opera theatre. Goldoni’s influence on this type of musical representation has not been fully considered, but the realism in music that he achieves through the dramma giocoso must be acknowledged as a lasting contribution to modern literature, and to operatic history.

  • "Mixed Taste," Cosmopolitanism, and Intertextuality in Georg Philipp
    “MIXED TASTE,” COSMOPOLITANISM, AND INTERTEXTUALITY IN GEORG PHILIPP TELEMANN’S OPERA ORPHEUS Robert A. Rue A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF MUSIC May 2017 Committee: Arne Spohr, Advisor Mary Natvig Gregory Decker © 2017 Robert A. Rue All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Arne Spohr, Advisor Musicologists have been debating the concept of European national music styles in the Baroque period for nearly 300 years. But what precisely constitutes these so-called French, Italian, and German “tastes”? Furthermore, how do contemporary sources confront this issue and how do they delineate these musical constructs? In his Music for a Mixed Taste (2008), Steven Zohn achieves success in identifying musical tastes in some of Georg Phillip Telemann’s instrumental music. However, instrumental music comprises only a portion of Telemann’s musical output. My thesis follows Zohn’s work by identifying these same national styles in opera: namely, Telemann’s Orpheus (Hamburg, 1726), in which the composer sets French, Italian, and German texts to music. I argue that though identifying the interrelation between elements of musical style and the use of specific languages, we will have a better understanding of what Telemann and his contemporaries thought of as national tastes. I will begin my examination by identifying some of the issues surrounding a selection of contemporary treatises, in order explicate the problems and benefits of their use. These sources include Johann Joachim Quantz’s Versuch einer Anweisung die Flöte zu spielen (1752), two of Telemann’s autobiographies (1718 and 1740), and Johann Adolf Scheibe’s Critischer Musikus (1737).
