In addition to his invaluable 3-volume set about Verdi’s operas, Budden’s biography of the composer is a wonderful resource. Budden offers a complete sketch of Verdi’s public and private life. The chapter, “Towards Grand Opera,” discusses the musical details of Aida , especially the Triumph scene in Act Two. Budden makes the case for Verdi as the master of grand opera—do you agree? ML410.V4 B9 2008 Verdi and Puccini Heroines: Dramatic Characterization in Great Soprano Roles by Geoffrey Edwards and Ryan Edwards. Lanham, MD: Scarecrow Press, 2001. This father and son team explores the female characters in the later works of two giants of Italian opera. The authors use musical examples, libretti texts, and detailed plot analyses to paint a picture of each opera’s heroine. The chapter about Aida reveals how the title character struggles with competing loves of her country, her father, and her Egyptian prince, leading to a life of emotional suffering that is only freed by death. ML410.V4 E29 2001 Verdi's Aida: A Record of the Life of the Opera On and Off the Stage by Clyde T. McCants. Jefferson, NC: McFarland, 2006. McCants explores the opera from the perspective of a well-educated opera fanatic. He discusses the creation of the work and further explores the various world premieres and alternate versions, including Elton John’s musical. His book concludes with extensive personal reviews of recordings and visual presentations from 1906 to the present. ML410.V4 M34 2006 Verdi: A Biography by Mary Jane Phillips-Matz. Oxford, England; New York: Oxford University Press, 1993.

ML49.M83 O64 2011 2013-2014 Pittsburgh Opera Recommended Listening and Reading List 3 The Magic Flute by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, 1756–1791 For further reading Magic Flutes & Enchanted Forests: The Supernatural in Eighteenth-Century Musical Theater by David J. Buch. Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2008. Buch’s work is an important addition to the canon of books about fairy tales and their manifestation in theater and musical dramas. The last chapter deals with supernatural elements in The Magic Flute and Don Giovanni . Buch discusses the good and evil characters, uses of magic and magical objects, and the role of the fairy tale as a commentary on society. Buch also provides a detailed analysis of the score to support his theories of how otherworldly elements are represented in Mozart’s music. ML1720.3.B83 2008 Mozart and His Operas by David Cairns. Berkeley: University of California Press, 2006. Cairns’s unique biography traces Mozart’s life and creative output through his operas. Cairns discusses how Mozart matures as an artist with each opera and writes about how his strength as a composer of great theater influences his instrumental works as well, particularly his piano concertos and string quartets. The chapter that highlights The Magic Flute describes Mozart’s desire to fully express his love of Viennese popular theater by creating a theatrical work in German that is both funny and serious. Cairns also discusses how the opera serves as a vehicle to communicate Mozart’s spiritual beliefs as a Freemason. ML410.M9 C253 2006 The Magic Flute Unveiled: Esoteric Symbolism in Mozart's Masonic Opera: An Interpretation of the Libretto and the Music by Jacques Chailley. Rochester, VT: Inner Traditions International, 1992. Chailley’s work presents the argument that Mozart’s penultimate opera is essentially a Masonic ritual set to music. He first provides a background of the creation of the work, including information about Freemasonry in eighteenth-century Vienna. The latter two sections of the book detail the Masonic elements revealed in the libretto, the characters, and the music. ML410.M9 C363 1992 Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: A Biography by Piero Melograni. Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2007. Written during the 250 th anniversary year of Mozart’s death, Melograni’s biography is a wonderful addition to the many volumes written about the composer. Instead of in-depth musical analyses, Melograni weaves texts of Mozart’s letters throughout his narrative to create a thoroughly enjoyable account of the artist’s life. This biography is a great read for the music lover or novice.

  • Dove L'uomo È Fascina E La Donna È L'alare
    Dove l’uomo è fascina e la donna è l’alare: the Quiet Defiance of Puccini’s La Bohème Parkorn Wangpaiboonkit Oberlin College In stark contrast to the remainder of the standard operatic repertoire, instead of babies thrown into fires, sons in love with their mother-in-law, mystical rings of fire, head-cutting, suicide, self-sacrifice, or spontaneous expiration through excess of emotion, Puccini’s La Bohème presents us with an opera where a sick girl gets sicker and dies. “No one is evil; it is the opera of innocence… - as if there were no responsibility, as if nothing happened other than this great cold, freezing them all, which one of them, a woman, cannot withstand” (Clément 83). More simply put, Bohème ’s plot is “boy meets girl, girl dies” (Berger 109). While this lack of momentous action might make Bohème seem an unlikely candidate for an operatic innovation, I argue that the opera’s quiet insurrection against its genre and tradition becomes apparent when its heroine, Mimi, is closely examined. In constructing Mimi, Puccini has deviated from the expectations of genre, gender, and disease narrative typically found in nineteenth century Italian operas, creating an operatic heroine that escapes the typical dramatic formulations of her predecessors: “She does not do anything. She waters her flowers at the window, she embroiders silk and satin for other people, that is all” (Clément 84). By highlighting these subtle but radical uniqueness in the way Mimi as a heroine is treated by other characters in the opera and by us as an audience, I offer a new reading of Bohème that recognizes the work as an innovative text, “the first Italian opera in which the artificialities of the medium is so little felt” (Budden 180).

Textual and Musical Intermedialities in Italian Literature and Film A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Italian by Erika Marina Nadir 2017 © Copyright by Erika Marina Nadir 2017 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Prima La Musica o Prima La Parola? Textual and Musical Intermedialities in Italian Literature and Film by Erika Marina Nadir Doctor of Philosophy in Italian University of California, Los Angeles, 2017 Professor Luigi Ballerini, Chair This dissertation is a comparative study of Italian opera, literature, and film, and traces the textual and musical intermedialities among the art forms. Using the analytical prisms of Elio Vittorini’s linguaggio unitario del musicista and Giuseppe Verdi’s notion of verità, I examine the myriad ways that literature, film, and music interact and the effects on the respective arts. Chapter 1 focuses on literature that is written in such a way as to evoke music. I analyze three texts and their musical components: Vittorini’s Italian Resistance novel, Uomini e no; the postmodern novel Passavamo sulla terra leggeri by Sergio Atzeni—a soundscape of text that mimics contemporary opera structure; and Manzoni’s I promessi sposi, which was the inspiration for Giuseppe Verdi’s notion of verità in art.

Wigtil A THESIS Presented to the Faculty of The Graduate College at the University of Nebraska In Partial Fulfillment of Requirements For the Degree of Master of Music Major: Music Under the Supervision of Professor Pamela Starr Lincoln, Nebraska December, 2020 EFFECTS OF THE MET: LIVE IN HD ON THE DEMOCRATIZATION OF OPERA IN AMERICA Anna K. Wigtil, M.M. University of Nebraska, 2020 Advisor: Pamela Starr The Met: Live in HD satellite broadcasts of live opera performances began in 2006 and have since become popular with audiences around the world. While this could be an excellent avenue to democratize opera and make it available to new audiences, the available data indicates that most Live in HD viewers are already opera enthusiasts and have previously attended live opera performances. This thesis examines the history of the Metropolitan Opera’s broadcasting efforts, the demographics of American opera audiences, trends in Live in HD’s repertoire, and strategies to increase Live in HD’s appeal to a broader, more diverse audience that can revitalize opera’s popularity in the United States.

  • Analyzing Gender Inequality in Contemporary Opera
    ANALYZING GENDER INEQUALITY IN CONTEMPORARY OPERA Hillary LaBonte A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS August 2019 Committee: Jane Schoonmaker Rodgers, Advisor Kristen Rudisill Graduate Faculty Representative Kevin Bylsma Ryan Ebright Emily Pence Brown © 2019 Hillary LaBonte All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Jane Schoonmaker Rodgers, Advisor Gender inequality is pervasive in the world of performing arts. There are far more female dancers, actresses, and singers than there are male performers. This inequality is amplified by fewer numbers of roles for women. This document examines gender inequality in contemporary North American operas, including the various factors that can influence the gender balance of a cast, with focused studies on commissioning organizations and ten works that feature predominantly female casts. Chapter 1 presents the analysis of all operas in OPERA America’s North American Works database written and premiered from 1995 to the present. Of the 4,216 roles in this data, 1,842 (43.6%) are for female singers. Operas written by a female composer or librettist have 48% roles for female singers, operas with a female lead character have 51%, and intentionally feminist or female-focused operas have 53% roles for female singers. Chapter 2 considers ten companies devoted to the creation and production of contemporary opera in North America. Works premiered by these companies have an average of 47% roles for women, and companies with a female executive or founder are more likely to have a higher average. Companies that use language like “innovative” or “adventurous” in their mission statement are more likely to have greater female representation in the casts of their commissioned works.
