He featured in a number of releases at the dawn of the recording age - by Sousa Band, for example, in 1901. Victor's company produced two different performances in 1908 and 1912, and then exactly one hundred years ago - in 1917 - it released a reading that would become a blockbuster, with the all-star soprano Amelita Galli-Kurci, mezzo-soprano Minnie Egener, tenor Enrico Caruso, tenor Angelo Bade, baritone Giuseppe De Luca, and Marcel bass. Every music lover seems to have owned a copy, and when Mario Lanza starred in the 1951 MGM film The Great Caruso, in 1951, of course, Sextet had to take pride of place, with soprano Dorothy Kirsten doing her role as Lucia.By that time, Sextet took on her own life, moving into the world of comedy despite herself. Why, there was a winsome little Shirley Temple in her satin ball gown, a belt from Sextet, arranged as a trio with her adult friends Gentlemen Guy Kibby and Slim Summerville (a native of Albuquerque) in 1936 spirit-raiser Captain January. In 1945, Sextet became a soundrack for slapping. In Micro-Phonies, Three Stooges, working on a radio station, conduct a lip-syncing phonograph recording of Sextet, costing themselves as Senor Mucho (Mo), Senor Gusto (Larry), and Senorita Kukaraha (Curly). Things aren't going well. The three of us reworked a bit in 1948 at the Squareheads roundtable, now as medieval troubadours serenade songstress Christine McIntyre in her balcony - with a very anachronistic sextet from Lucia.During the 1940s, Sextet Donizetti entered the realm of animated short. In Notes to You, the release of Looney Tunes 1941 Warner Bros., Porky Pig shoots Sylvester's cat, after which the spirits of Sylvester's nine lives live on the back fence while singing Sextet. The studio got more mileage from the gag in Back Alley Oproar, a Merry Melody release from 1948. This time Sylvester's singing prevents Elmer Fudda from getting enough sleep. Elmer, having blown himself up in an accident on TNT, is looking forward to a rest in heaven, but he is interrupted even there by a boisterous rendition of Sextet spirits by Sylvester, rising in the final Sextet appears again in The Long-Haired Hare, a 1949 Looney Tunes cartoon featuring Bugs Bunny. In 1946, Walt Disney had a piece (arranged as a trio) serve in the climax of his Make Mine Music series, in which Willie the operatic whale, seeking to perform at the Metropolitan Opera, innes various parts simultaneously (all overdubbed by Nelson Eddie). Willie wasn't an ordinary singing whale. Willie could sing in three separate voices - tenor, baritone and bass. Why, Willie was a singing miracle!

Plot Summary (en) Add a Summary of Parents Guide: Add a content advisory for parents I've been in Callas withdrawal for quite a while, so this blog will be about her and about the very famous live performance of Lucia di Lammermoor in Berlin 1955, conducted by von Karayan. You don't usually associate von Karajan with the Bel Kanto opera, but he's excellent here. The excerpt that I'm going to direct you to is a famous sextet in Act II, Che mi Fran's tal momento. Here we have Callas in excellent vocal form and the cast of La Scala regulars: Giuseppe di Stefano, Rolando Panerai, Nicola Zaccaria, Giuseppe Sampieri, and Luisa Villa. What is special about this performance is that the audience, presumably Germans in Berlin, is so crazy about this performance that Karayan repeats it! Here's the link: Over the years, this live performance by Lucia di Lammermoor, recorded on tour in Berlin in 1955 with Callas, Karajan and members of La Scala, was one of the most valuable of all unauthorized sets, offering those of us who weren't there a chance to try the sensation and find out why some usually reliable critics were robbed of sleep during the week's experience. The live version brings with it some technical limitations, but it's not without its benefits, not least in the crucial perspective issue. In this Berlin recording, Callas herself is often more naturally placed than in the 1953 Florence set, where close micro-titles favored by the Italian production team EMI tend to be devoid of singing mystery and charm. This Lucia has been remastered and reissued You'll have to listen to live recording and remaster live recordings to decide which one you like more, but if you like Callas, even if you don't like Callas, it's Lucia to own. Insert opera_cat Chi mi fran in tal momento, the famous sextet from Lucia di Lammermoor. Lucy Ashton (Lucia) fell in love with Edgar Ravenswood (Edgardo), whose family was in a feud with her. When her brother Henry (Enrico) discovers this, he does his best to separate the couple, including showing Lucy a wrought letter that indicates that Edgar married another woman. Henry finally browbeats Lucy into marriage to politically well-connected Lord Arthur (Arturo). Moments after Lucy and Arthur signed a prenuptial agreement, Edgar burst into the hall. Lucy faints. All present express their various emotions. EDGARDO EDGAR (Chi Mi Frena in Tal Momentum?... (Who's holding me back at such a moment? Il suo duolo, il suo spavento Her grief, her terror son la Proba d'un Rimorso!... are proof of remorse!

Opera Gaetano Donizetti Lucia di Lammermora Gaetano DonizettiFanni Takcinardi Persia as Lucia in the London premiere in 1838LibreteistSlvador Cammarano Lankanitain Based Bride Lammermurbi Walter ScottPremiere26 September 1835 (1835-09-26)Theatre Of San Carlo, Naples Lucia di Lammermoor is a dramma tragico (tragic opera) in three acts by Gaetano Donizetti. Salvador Cammarano wrote a libretto in Italian, based on Sir Walter Scott's 1819 historical novel The Bride of Lammermoor. Donizetti wrote Lucia di Lammermoor in 1835, when several factors led to the growth of his reputation as an opera composer. Gioacino Rossini recently retired, and Vincenzo Bellini died shortly before the premiere of Lucia, leaving Donizetti the only reigning genius of Italian opera. Not only matured the conditions for Donizetti's success as a composer, but also had a European interest in the history and culture of Scotland. The perceived romance of his brutal wars and enmity, as well as his folklore and mythology, intrigued readers and viewers of the 19th century.

  • JULES MASSENET – His Life and Works by Nick Fuller I
    JULES MASSENET – His Life and Works By Nick Fuller I. Introduction Jules Massenet’s operas made him one of the most popular composers of the late nineteenth century, his works performed throughout Europe, the Americas and North Africa. After World War I, he was seen as old- fashioned, and nearly all of his operas, apart from Werther and Manon , vanished from the mainstream repertoire. The opera-going public still know Massenet best for Manon , Werther , and the Méditation from Thaïs , but to believe, as The Grove Dictionary of Opera wrote in 1954, that ‘to have heard Manon is to have heard all of him’ is to do the composer a gross disservice. Massenet wrote twenty-seven operas, many of which are at least as good as Manon and Werther . Nearly all are theatrically effective, boast beautiful music and display insightful characterisation and an instinct for dramatic and psychological truth. In recent decades, Massenet’s work has regained popularity. Although he Figure 1 Jules Massenet, drawing by Ernesto Fontana (Source: is not the household name he once http://artlyriquefr.fr/personnages/Massenet%20Jules.html) was, and many of his operas remain little known, he has been winning new audiences. Conductors like Richard Bonynge, Julius Rudel and Patrick Fournillier have championed Massenet, while since 1990 a biennial Massenet festival has been held in his birthplace, Saint-Étienne, in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, its mission to rediscover Massenet’s operas. His work has been performed in the world’s major opera houses under the baton of conductors Thomas Beecham, Colin Davis, Charles Mackerras, Michel Plasson, Riccardo Chailly and Antonio Pappano, and sung by Joan Sutherland, José van Dam, Frederica von Stade, Nicolai Gedda, Roberto Alagna, Renée Fleming, Thomas Hampson and Plácido Domingo.
