  • Ricordi Archive Expands Its Collaboration with Dolce & Gabbana
    PRESS RELEASE Ricordi Archive Expands Its Collaboration with Dolce & Gabbana • Historical motifs from Verdi operas grace unique pieces of the new Alta Sartoria collection Milan, January 31, 2017 – Dolce & Gabbana has expanded its collaboration with the Archivio Storico Ricordi in Milan and has incorporated numerous historical illustrations from famous Verdi operas in its new Alta Sartoria collection. The motifs from works including Falstaff, Rigoletto, Otello and Don Carlos grace – as reproductions or reinterpretations of the originals – unique pieces that Dolce & Gabbana unveiled last weekend at Milan’s Teatro alla Scala. Dolce & Gabbana, which is one of the main supporters of the Teatro alla Scala opera house, gave its creativity free rein and replicated motifs from the Ricordi Archive on select pieces from its men’s collection. The Archivio Storico Ricordi contains documents and artifacts from 200 years of Italian opera history, including valuable original manuscripts by Giuseppe Verdi and Giacomo Puccini, numerous stage designs, and costume drawings. In 2016, the archive, which is part of the Bertelsmann group, had first licensed ornamental and floral illustrations from the world of Opera to Dolce & Gabbana, albeit on a much smaller scale. Karin Schlautmann, Head of Bertelsmann Corporate Communications and responsible for the Ricordi Archive, said: “For the Archivio Storico Ricordi, this licensing cooperation is a wonderful opportunity to keep the musical treasures of yore alive and allow them to serve as inspiration for contemporary creatives and artists. It also is a perfect example for how Bertelsmann as the archive’s owner ensures an inflow of funds in a respectful scope. All earnings from license agreements go towards preserving the archive for posterity.” The Archivio Storico Ricordi has been part of Bertelsmann since 1994 and is seen as one of the world's most valuable privately owned music collections.

  • MACBETH Music by Giuseppe Verdi Libretto by Francesco Maria Piave
    MACBETH Music by Giuseppe Verdi Libretto by Francesco Maria Piave & Andrea Maffei Based on the play by William Shakespeare First performed on March 14, 1847 in Florence Characters Macbeth (baritone), Thane of Cawdor Lady Macbeth (soprano) Banquo (bass), A General Macduff (tenor), A Nobleman Malcolm (tenor), son of King Duncan Lady-In-Waiting to Lady Macbeth (soprano) A Physician (bass) A Murderer (baritone) Three Apparitions: A warrior (baritone) A bloody child (soprano) A crowned child (soprano) A manservant (Bass) King Duncan, Fleance (son of Banquo), Attendants, Messengers, Soldiers, Assassins, Witches, Lords and Ladies, Refugees Act 1 Macbeth and Banquo, both generals under King Duncan, come upon a group of witches who foretell their futures: Macbeth will become the Thane of Cawdor, and then King; Banquo will become father of kings. Soldiers bring the news that Macbeth has been named Thane of Cawdor. Amazed by the truth of the prophecies, Macbeth begins to imagine himself as the King (“Due vaticini..”). At Dunsinane, Macbeth’s estate, Lady Macbeth reads a letter she received from her husband recounting his meeting with the witches and the outcome of their predictions. Exulting in this news, she waits impatiently for his arrival and makes plans to pressure Macbeth to act, rather than wait for events to take their course (“Vieni! t’affretta!” -- Come, then! Hasten!). A messenger brings news that King Duncan will be their guest that evening. When Macbeth arrives, she urges him to kill the king that night. In his extended arioso “Mi si affaccia un pugnal?!” (Is this a dagger that appears to me?), Macbeth sees a vision of a bloody dagger and gathers his courage to perform the deed.

Mentre Violetta e Alfredo danzano, il giovane le dichiara tutto il suo amore e Violetta gli regala un fiore, una camelia: rivedrà Alfredo solo quando sarà appassita. Alla fine della festa, Violetta deve ammettere di essersi innamorata davvero, per la prima volta.

  • Petite Messe Solennelle Gioachino Rossini
    Petite Messe Solennelle Gioachino Rossini (1792–1868) Did Napoleon III really say ‘it is neither little, nor solemn, nor particularly liturgical’’ when he heard Rossini’s Petite Messe Solennelle? The French Emperor (nephew of Napoleon Bonaparte) has some wonderful quotes accurately attributed to him, such as ‘this vice brings in one hundred million francs in taxes every year. I will certainly forbid it at once – as soon as you can name a virtue that brings in as much revenue.’ And we still argue over taxing cigarettes. So if the comment on the Rossini isn’t his, perhaps it should have been. Certainly the composer would have appreciated the witticism if he hadn’t been dead: the first public airing of this masterpiece took place three months after he died, the first actual performance having been given privately almost five years previously. Rossini would have been amused because he also appears to have had a gift for dry humour and called the work ‘the last of my péchés de vieillesse’, or sins of old age. This may all be entertaining enough (or not), but what has it got to do with the music, with Escafeld Chorale’s performance? Well, for a start the work may not be ‘particularly liturgical’ and certainly wouldn’t fit into a church service, however grand, but it wasn’t designed to fit Palestrina-like into Sunday morning worship. Major composers simply hadn’t written like that for a hundred years or more. Instead it fits elegantly into the tradition of the post-Enlightenment settings of the mass without indulging in the sentimentality of the romantic school of, say, Gounod.
