Doctoral Dissertations. 580. https://opencommons.uconn.edu/dissertations/580 ABSTRACT The Rise of the Tenor Voice in the Late Eighteenth Century: Mozart’s Opera and Concert Arias Joshua Michael May University of Connecticut, 2014 W. A. Mozart’s opera and concert arias for tenor are among the first music written specifically for this voice type as it is understood today, and they form an essential pillar of the pedagogy and repertoire for the modern tenor voice. Yet while the opera arias have received a great deal of attention from scholars of the vocal literature, the concert arias have been comparatively overlooked; they are neglected also in relation to their counterparts for soprano, about which a great deal has been written. There has been some pedagogical discussion of the tenor concert arias in relation to the correction of vocal faults, but otherwise they have received little scrutiny. This is surprising, not least because in most cases Mozart’s concert arias were composed for singers with whom he also worked in the opera house, and Mozart always paid close attention to the particular capabilities of the musicians for whom he wrote: these arias offer us unusually intimate insights into how a first-rank composer explored and shaped the potential of the newly-emerging voice type of the modern tenor voice.

Opera Colorado Announces 2018-19 Season: Verdi’S La Traviata and Mozart’S the Marriage of Figaro in Grand, Traditional Productions at the Ellie Caulkins Opera House
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: February 21, 2018 Media Contact: Tamara Vallejos, Director of Marketing & Audience Development 303.778.0214 | [email protected] Opera Colorado Announces 2018-19 Season: Verdi’s La Traviata and Mozart’s The Marriage of Figaro in grand, traditional productions at the Ellie Caulkins Opera House Plus, a double-bill of Tom Cipullo’s After Life and Josephine at the new Kirkland Museum of Fine & Decorative Art Now in his 10th year of leading the company, Greg Carpenter to take on new title of General & Artistic Director DENVER—Opera Colorado is pleased to announce its 2018-19 season, anchored by two of the most beloved works in the repertoire: Verdi’s stunning and heartbreaking La Traviata and Mozart’s effervescent comedy The Marriage of Figaro, both to be performed at the Ellie Caulkins Opera House at the Denver Performing Arts Complex. The season is rounded out by the 2018-19 Scene Change offering: a contemporary double-bill of After Life and Josephine by composer Tom Cipullo, for which Opera Colorado will transform a gallery of the new Kirkland Museum of Fine & Decorative Art into a 100-seat theater. “The 2018-19 season is particularly exciting in its contrasts,” says Opera Colorado General & Artistic Director Greg Carpenter. “Both La Traviata and The Marriage of Figaro are iconic operas, and both are masterpieces of music and theater. But the former offers us the intensity of tragic passion, while the latter is the height of sophisticated comedy.” “And, of course, there is the delightful contrast of presenting

PPO2 Schneider 2.Pages
Performing Premodernity Online – Volume 2 (January 2015) On Acting in Late Eighteenth- Century Opera Buffa MAGNUS TESSING SCHNEIDER In 1856 the German poet and music critic Johann Peter Lyser wrote about the beginning of the supper scene in the second finale of Don Giovanni, written for the comedians Luigi Bassi and Felice Ponziani: "Unfortunately, it is not performed in Mozart's spirit nowadays, for the Don Giovannis and Leporellos of today are no Bassis and Lollis [recte: Ponzianis]. These played the scene differently in each performance, sustaining an uninterrupted crossfire of improvised jokes, droll ideas and lazzi, so that the audience was thrown into the same state of mirth in which it was Mozart's intention that master and servant should appear to be on the stage. These were the skills of the opera buffa singers of old; the modern Italian singers know as little how to do it as the Germans ever did."1 Though written more than 150 years ago, this longing for the musical and theatrical immediacy that reigned in the opera houses of the late eighteenth century may still resonate with adherents of the Historically Informed Performance (HIP) movement. At least since Georg Fuchs coined the motto "rethéâtraliser le théâtre" in 19092 the theatrical practices of the past has, indeed, been an important source of inspiration for theatrical reformers, and the commedia dell'arte, with its reliance on virtuoso improvisation rather than on written text, has appealed to many directors. Yet as the Lyser quotation suggests, the idealization of a lost tradition as the positive counter- image of the restrictions of the modern stage is not a new phenomenon.

Sogno Di Scipione Di Mozart Progetto Atelier Della Fenice Al Teatro Malibran
COMUNICATO STAMPA Venezia, febbraio 2019 Il sogno di Scipione di Mozart Progetto Atelier della Fenice al Teatro Malibran Il sogno di Scipione di Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, azione teatrale in un atto su libretto di Pietro Metastasio, sarà in scena per la prima volta sul palcoscenico del Teatro Malibran, nell’ambito della Stagione Lirica e Balletto 2018-2019 della Fondazione Teatro La Fenice di Venezia. La ‘serenata’ musicata dal salisburghese, composta intorno al 1771-1772, sarà proposta in un nuovo allestimento con la direzione musicale di Federico Maria Sardelli alla testa dell’Orchestra e Coro del Teatro La Fenice – maestro del Coro Claudio Marino Moretti – e in una messinscena coordinata dal tutor di regia Elena Barbalich realizzata in collaborazione con l’Accademia di Belle Arti di Venezia e nell’ambito del progetto Atelier della Fenice al Teatro Malibran. Alla prima di venerdì 8 febbraio ore 19.00, seguiranno quattro repliche: il 10, 12, 14 e 16 febbraio 2019. Il progetto è sostenuto dalla Michelangelo Foundation for Creativity and Craftsmanship. Settimo lavoro di Mozart (1756-1791) per il teatro, composto a soli sedici anni, Il sogno di Scipione vide la luce tra Ascanio in Alba e Lucio Silla, per essere rappresentato probabilmente il 29 aprile o l’1 maggio del ‘72 in occasione dell’arrivo a Salisburgo del nuovo arcivescovo Hieronymous Joseph Franz von Paula, conte di Colloredo. La narrazione allegorica del libretto, tratto dal Somnium Scipionis di Cicerone, ricalca piuttosto fedelmente la fonte letteraria antica: addormentatosi nella reggia del re alleato Massinissa, in Numidia, Scipione Emiliano sogna di essere nel cielo degli eroi, dove incontra Costanza e Fortuna, che gli chiedono di scegliere chi, tra loro, seguire.

This reality seems to go unnoticed by most, but the fact remains that many individuals and their societies have formed a cultural identity from the combination of many foreign influences. Such a multicultural identity can be seen particularly in music. Composers, artists, and performers alike frequently seek to incorporate separate elements of style in their own identity. One of the earliest examples of this tradition is the German Singspiel.
