  • Thoughts on Diegetic Music in the Early Operas of Zandonai1
    DAVID ROSEN THOUGHTS ON DIEGETIC MUSIC IN THE EARLY OPERAS OF ZANDONAI1 Diegetic music – «music that (apparently) issues from a source within the narrative» (Gorbman, 23)2 – plays an important role in Zandonai’s early operas: not only does it appear frequently, but it often pushes the action forward, eliciting responses from the characters who hear it. And some of its uses are unusual, if not unprecedented. In this essay I focus on Il grillo del focolare but make cross-references to diegetic music in L’uccellino d’oro, Conchita, and Melenis as well. Readers unfamiliar with these operas may want to consult plot summaries, for example, in Dryden (469-79). Table 1 lists the passages referred to in this essay. 1 I want to express my thanks to the Centro internazionale di studi «Riccardo Zan- donai», especially to Diego Cescotti, Irene Comisso, and Federica Fortunato for assistance of all sorts before, during, and after the conference. Thanks go also to Gary Moulsdale for his comments on an earlier version of this text, to Ann Beck- man and other friends on WM-L (my favorite online opera discussion group) for answering some questions about precedents for certain uses of diegetic music, and to Carol Rosen for having translated into Italian the version of this essay that I delivered at the conference. 2 Citations refer to the Selective Bibliography at the end of this essay. The category ‘diegetic music’ thus includes both ‘musica in scena’ and ‘musica di scena’ (for the distinction see, for example, Girardi, 101-102). That is, it may include music emanating from offstage (whether in the wings or from the orchestra pit) or on- stage in full view of the audience.

  • Operas Performed in New York City in 2013 (Compiled by Mark Schubin)
    Operas Performed in New York City in 2013 (compiled by Mark Schubin) What is not included in this list: There are three obvious categories: anything not performed in 2013, anything not within the confines of New York City, and anything not involving singing. Empire Opera was supposed to perform Montemezzi’s L'amore dei tre re in November; it was postponed to January, so it’s not on the list. Similarly, even though Bard, Caramoor, and Peak Performances provide bus service from midtown Manhattan to their operas, even though the New York City press treats the excellent but four-hours-away-by-car Glimmerglass Festival like a local company, and even though it’s faster to get from midtown Manhattan to some performances on Long Island or in New Jersey or Westchester than to, say, Queens College, those out-of-city productions are not included on the main list (just for reference, I put Bard, Caramoor, and Peak Performances in an appendix). And, although the Parterre Box New York Opera Calendar (which includes some non-opera events) listed A Rite, a music-theatrical dance piece performed at the BAM Opera House, I didn’t because no performer in it sang. I did not include anything that wasn’t a local in-person performance. The cinema transmissions from the Met, Covent Garden, La Scala, etc., are not included (nor is the movie Metallica: Through the Never, which Owen Gleiberman in Entertainment Weekly called a “grand 3-D opera”). I did not include anything that wasn’t open to the public, so the Met’s workshop of Scott Wheeler’s The Sorrows of Frederick is not on the list.

  • Understanding the Lirico-Spinto Soprano Voice Through the Repertoire of Giovane Scuola Composers
    UNDERSTANDING THE LIRICO-SPINTO SOPRANO VOICE THROUGH THE REPERTOIRE OF GIOVANE SCUOLA COMPOSERS Youna Jang Hartgraves Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS August 2017 APPROVED: Jeffrey Snider, Major Professor William Joyner, Committee Member Silvio De Santis, Committee Member Stephen Austin, Chair of the Division of Vocal Studies Benjamin Brand, Director of Graduate Studies in the College of Music John Richmond, Dean of the College of Music Victor Prybutok, Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Hartgraves, Youna Jang. Understanding the Lirico-Spinto Soprano Voice through the Repertoire of Giovane Scuola Composers. Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance), August 2017, 53 pp., 10 tables, 6 figures, bibliography, 66 titles. As lirico-spinto soprano commonly indicates a soprano with a heavier voice than lyric soprano and a lighter voice than dramatic soprano, there are many problems in the assessment of the voice type. Lirico-spinto soprano is characterized differently by various scholars and sources offer contrasting and insufficient definitions. It is commonly understood as a pushed voice, as many interpret spingere as ‘to push.’ This dissertation shows that the meaning of spingere does not mean pushed in this context, but extended, thus making the voice type a hybrid of lyric soprano voice type that has qualities of extended temperament, timbre, color, and volume. This dissertation indicates that the lack of published anthologies on lirico-spinto soprano arias is a significant reason for the insufficient understanding of the lirico-spinto soprano voice. The post-Verdi Italian group of composers, giovane scuola, composed operas that required lirico-spinto soprano voices.

(In New York, THIRTEEN will air the opera at 12:30 p.m.) Piero Faggioni's production, which sets the action in Renaissance Italy, stars Dutch soprano Eva-Maria Westbroek and Italian tenor Marcello Giordani as Francesca and Paolo, the star-crossed lovers whose doomed romance was immortalized in an episode in Dante's Inferno . Marco Armiliato conducts a cast that also includes the American baritone Mark Delavan as Gianciotto, Francesca's brutal husband, and American tenor Robert Brubaker as the wicked Malatestino. Francesca da Rimini had its Met premiere in 1916 with Frances Alda in the title role, Giovanni Martinelli as Paolo, and Pasquale Amato as Gianciotto. The opera quickly gained a reputation among connoisseurs for its unusual blend of musical styles, joining the melodies of Italian verismo with the colorful harmonic influences of Debussy and the orchestral effects of Richard Strauss.

  • Melenis Di Riccardo Zandonai E Melænis Di Sylvio Lazzari
    IRENE COMISSO MELENIS DI RICCARDO ZANDONAI E MELÆNIS DI SYLVIO LAZZARI. MODERNITÀ E TRADIZIONE A CONFRONTO L’arco cronologico di Melenis, come soggetto letterario e operisti- co, dalla sua nascita fino al suo eclissarsi nella storia del teatro musicale del secolo scorso è segnato da queste date: 1851, 1912, 1927. Partendo dalla fonte letteraria attraverso un’analisi dei principali livelli strutturali di quest’opera ‘giovanile’ di Zandonai la mia indagine vuole contribuire, da un lato, a rilevare la concezione innovativa che sottende alla personale interpretazione zandonaiana del soggetto fran- cese, dall’altro a coglierne anche le eventuali carenze e i difetti sul piano drammaturgico. L’opera fu rappresentata soltanto due volte: al Teatro Dal Verme di Milano, il 13 novembre del 1912, e al Teatro Costanzi di Roma, odierno Teatro dell’Opera, il 23 marzo del 1913. Per entrambe le rappresentazioni il giudizio della critica, divisa tra elogi entusiastici ed aspre condanne, scindeva il piano musicale da quello letterario esaltando, con riferimento al primo, la resa quasi ‘plastica’ dell’azione attraverso il ricorso a timbri e preziosità orchestrali e rimar- cando, invece, con riferimento al secondo, lacune ed incongruenze del libretto, reputato freddo, dalla trama inconsistente e macchinosa. Le recensioni di entrambe le rappresentazioni mostrano come i rilievi più critici riguardino proprio il libretto, con particolare riferimento alla sua scarsa efficacia sul piano drammaturgico. Così si esprimeva sul punto il critico Alberto Gasco, in seguito alla rappresentazione romana: Il dramma lirico [...] non regge ad una qualsiasi analisi critica. La figura della protagonista riesce incomprensibile e pertanto le sue angosce amo- rose ci sfiorano appena e non mai riescono a commuoverci.

    “GIOVANI IN CRESCENDO” Music Competition – 3rd edition Pesaro, 18-19-20 April 2016 Orchestra Sinfonica G. Rossini with the support of Comune di Pesaro (Pesaro Municipality) announces the second edition of the music competition “Giovani in Crescendo”. Pesaro, washed by the Adriatic sea, with its culture, its ideal size, its lifestyle and its treasures has made hospitality its vocation. Pesaro has a flourishing tourist industry, based mainly on seaside holidays. A seven kilometres long beach surrounded by Monte San Bartolo National Park, bathing establishments with fine sand and shallow water, a harbour well connected to the opposite side of the Adriatic Sea make Pesaro an ideal place to relax. But Pesaro is also a historical centre with elegant streets, museums, churches, fortresses, ancient and modern libraries and interesting events all year round. With his music Gioachino Rossini brought international renown to the city of Pesaro. Tourists can take a pleasant stroll on the Rossini trail: his house, the Conservatory, the Theatre, the Foundation and Rossini Opera Festival Headquarters. His house is now a museum and has materials donated or willed, including prints, etchings, official portraits and music scores. The Conservatory of Music was set up with the funds he left to the city for that purpose and many world famous musicians and directors (Renata Tebaldi, Mario Del Monaco, Riz Ortolani, Pietro Mascagni, Amilcare Zanella, Riccardo Zandonai and Franco Alfano) studied there. The Theatre was named for Gioacchino Rossini on his death in 1855, but was inaugurated in 1637 as Teatro del Sole and renamed Teatro Nuovo in 1818 when Rossini conducted his opera La Gazza Ladra.

  • Giacomo Puccini from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    Giacomo Puccini From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Giacomo Puccini Giacomo Antonio Domenico Michele Secondo Maria Puccini ( 22 December 1858 – 29 November 1924) was an Italian composer whose operas are among the important operas played as standards. Puccini has been called "the greatest composer of Italian opera after Verdi". While his early work was rooted in traditional late-19th-century romantic Italian opera, he successfully developed his work in the realistic verismo style, of which he became one of the leading exponents. Family and education Puccini was born Giacomo Antonio Domenico Michele Secondo Maria Puccini in Lucca in Tuscany, in 1858. He was one of nine children of Michele Puccini and Albina Magi. The Puccini family was established in Lucca as a local musical dynasty by Puccini's great-great grandfather – also named Giacomo (1712–1781).This first Giacomo Puccini was maestro di cappella of the Cattedrale di San Martino in Lucca. He was succeeded in this position by his son, Antonio Puccini, and then by Antonio's son Domenico, and Domenico's son Michele (father of the subject of this article). Each of these men studied music at Bologna, and some took additional musical studies elsewhere. Domenico Puccini studied for a time under Giovanni Paisiello. Each composed music for the church. In addition, Domenico composed several operas, and Michele composed one opera. Puccini's father Michele enjoyed a reputation throughout northern Italy, and his funeral was an occasion of public mourning, at which the then-famed composer Giovanni Pacini conducted a Requiem.
