  • Establishing the Tudor Dynasty: the Role of Francesco Piccolomini in Rome As First Cardinal Protector of England
    2017 IV Establishing the Tudor Dynasty: The Role of Francesco Piccolomini in Rome as First Cardinal Protector of England Susan May Article: Establishing the Tudor Dynasty: The Role of Francesco Piccolomini in Rome as First Cardinal Protector of England Establishing the Tudor Dynasty: The Role of Francesco Piccolomini in Rome as First Cardinal Protector of England1 Susan May Abstract: Between 1492 and 1503, Francesco Todeschini Piccolomini (1439–1503) was the first officially appointed Cardinal Protector of England. This paper focuses on a select few of his activities executed in that capacity for Henry Tudor, King Henry VII. Drawing particularly on two unpublished letters, it underscores the importance for King Henry of having his most trusted supporters translated to significant bishoprics throughout the land, particularly in the northern counties, and explores Queen Elizabeth of York’s patronage of the hospital and church of St Katharine-by-the-Tower in London. It further considers the mechanisms through which artists and humanists could be introduced to the Tudor court, namely via the communication and diplomatic infrastructure of Italian merchant-bankers. This study speculates whether, by the end of his long incumbency of forty-three years at the Sacred College, uncomfortably mindful of the extent of a cardinal’s actual and potential influence in temporal affairs, Piccolomini finally became reluctant to wield the power of the purple. Keywords: Francesco Todeschini Piccolomini; Henry VII; early Tudor; cardinal protector; St Katharine’s; Italian merchant-bankers ope for only twenty-six days following his election, taking the name of Pius III (Fig. 1), Francesco Todeschini Piccolomini (1439–1503) has understandably been P overshadowed in reputation by his high-profile uncle, Aeneas Silvius Piccolomini, Pope Pius II (1458–64).

  • Anna Bolena Opera by Gaetano Donizetti
    ANNA BOLENA OPERA BY GAETANO DONIZETTI Presentation by George Kurti Plohn Anna Bolena, an opera in two acts by Gaetano Donizetti, is recounting the tragedy of Anne Boleyn, the second wife of England's King Henry VIII. Along with Gioachino Rossini and Vincenzo Bellini, Donizetti was a leading composer of the bel canto opera style, meaning beauty and evenness of tone, legato phrasing, and skill in executing highly florid passages, prevalent during the first half of the nineteenth century. He was born in 1797 and died in 1848, at only 51 years of age, of syphilis for which he was institutionalized at the end of his life. Over the course of is short career, Donizetti was able to compose 70 operas. Anna Bolena is the second of four operas by Donizetti dealing with the Tudor period in English history, followed by Maria Stuarda (named for Mary, Queen of Scots), and Roberto Devereux (named for a putative lover of Queen Elizabeth I of England). The leading female characters of these three operas are often referred to as "the Three Donizetti Queens." Anna Bolena premiered in 1830 in Milan, to overwhelming success so much so that from then on, Donizetti's teacher addressed his former pupil as Maestro. The opera got a new impetus later at La Scala in 1957, thanks to a spectacular performance by 1 Maria Callas in the title role. Since then, it has been heard frequently, attracting such superstar sopranos as Joan Sutherland, Beverly Sills and Montserrat Caballe. Anna Bolena is based on the historical episode of the fall from favor and death of England’s Queen Anne Boleyn, second wife of Henry VIII.

To purchase, visit odysseyopera.org or call 617.826.1626. BOSTON, MA (For Release 07.18.19) — One of the nation’s most adventurous opera companies, Odyssey Opera, begins its seventh season with a concert performance of Henry VIII (1883)by French composer Camille Saint-Saëns based on El cisma en Inglaterra (The schism in England) by Pedro Calderón de la Barca. This kick-starts the company’s 2019-20 season featuring concert and staged operas about the great English dynasty of the 16th century: the Tudors. With libretto by Léonce Détroyat and Armand Silvestre, Henry VIII brings to life one of history’s most infamous love triangles featuring baritone Michael Chioldi as King Henry, soprano Ellie Dehn as Henry’s first wife, Catherine of Aragon, and mezzo-soprano Hilary Ginther as Henry’s second wife, Anne Boleyn. Dedicated to performing neglected works, Odyssey Opera resurrects this little known and intensely powerful work. It premiered in 1883 and received its North American premiere 100 years later in 1983. “Henry VIII has all the ingredients of a spectacular grand opera,” says Gil Rose, Odyssey Opera’s Artistic and General Director. “It has a sensational historical subject and sweeping vocal melodies and rich orchestral writing.

On lui doit Le Carnaval des animaux ou la Danse macabre, qui l’ont rendu extrêmement populaire ; mais Saint-Saëns composa pas moins de 600 œuvres, dont 13 opéras. Avec des centaines de concerts donnés à travers le monde, une forte présence au sein des institutions, il devint, au fil de sa carrière, une personnalité incontournable de la vie musicale. Républicain de la première heure, d’une curiosité insatiable, polyglotte et voyageur infatigable, il fut à la fois un pianiste virtuose, un compositeur de génie et l’un des meilleurs représentants de la culture française. L’exposition retrace ce parcours extraordinaire, à travers plus de 200 pièces - manuscrits musicaux, correspondances, photographies, objets, tableaux, maquettes de décors et de costumes -, autant de jalons qui mènent à la redécouverte d’un artiste étonnant, figure marquante de notre histoire culturelle mais aussi esprit libre. Une vie extravagante, une carrière d’une longévité exceptionnelle et un impressionnant catalogue d’ouvrages, dont chacun a dans l’oreille au moins l’un des nombreux « tubes » : le célèbre Carnaval des animaux, la Danse macabre, la Troisième symphonie avec orgue, ou la Bacchanale de Samson et Dalila pour ne citer que ceux-là.

  • Henrietta Maria and Marie Antoinette
    Henrietta Maria and Marie Antoinette: Queenship and Revolution in Early Modern Europe By Carolyn Harris A thesis submitted to the Graduate Program in History in conformity with the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada May 2012 Copyright © Carolyn Harris 2012 Abstract: Henrietta Maria and Marie Antoinette: Queenship and Revolution in Early Modern Europe analyzes Henrietta Maria and Marie Antoinette in a thematic framework, focussing on the dialogue between their perceptions of themselves as heads of households, wives, and mothers and the expectations of their husbands’ subjects concerning the Queen Consort’s performance of these roles. The public nature of the Queen Consort’s position transformed the choices Henrietta Maria and Marie Antoinette made as wives and mothers into political acts with lasting implications for their respective royal houses. Both Queens approached their roles in a manner that ultimately contributed to the collapse of monarchical government. The question of the Queen’s actual activities and her contribution to popular discourse has been particularly neglected as the symbolism of Henrietta Maria, and especially Marie Antoinette has received more recent scholarly attention while discussion of each Queen’s actual motives has been relegated to popular biographies. The juxtaposition of the Queen’s own intentions with the expectations of her husband’s subjects provides a more complete picture of the ideological conflicts centering on the consort. These points of similarity and the comparative structure deepen the understanding of Henrietta Maria’s impeachment and Marie Antoinette’s trial because the juxtaposition of the two events reveals the continuous presence of the Queen Consort as a divisive figure throughout the Early Modern period.

In addition to the role of Amelia in the 1990 production of Un Ballo in Maschera, her other performances at San Francisco Opera include Anna (Nabucco), Elisabeth (Tannhäuser), the title role of Ariadne auf Naxos, and Sieglinde (Die Walküre); these performances in La Fanciulla del West mark her role debut as Minnie. Voigt is a regular artist at the Metropolitan Opera—recent appearances there include the roles of Chrysothemis (Elektra), Senta (Der Fliegende Holländer), Isolde (Tristan und Isolde), Leonora (La Forza del Destino), the Empress (Die Frau ohne Schatten), Sieglinde, and the title roles of Tosca, Aida, Die Ägyptische Helena, and La Gioconda. She also performs regularly with Vienna State Opera (Tosca, the title roles of Salome and Ariadne auf Naxos, the Marschallin in Der Rosenkavalier, Isolde, Brünnhilde in Siegfried); Paris Opera (Senta, Lady Macbeth in Macbeth); the Royal Opera, Covent Garden (Ariadne, the Empress in Die Frau ohne Schatten, and the title role of Die Ägyptische Helena); Lyric Opera of Chicago (Salome, Isolde, Sieglinde, Tosca), Barcelonaʼs Gran Teatre del Liceu (Maddalena in Andrea Chénier, the title role of La Gioconda, Isolde) and the Salzburg Festival (the title role of Die Liebe der Danae).
