  • Reinhardt's Choice: Some Alternatives to Weill?
    DAVID DREW Reinhardt's Choice: Some Alternatives to Weill? The pretexts for the present paper are the author's essays >Der T#g der Ver­ heissung and the Prophecies of jeremiah<, Tempo, 206 (October 1998), 11- 20, and >Der T#g der Verheissung: Weill at the Crossroads<, 1impo, 208 (April 1999), 335-50. As suggested in the preface to the second essay, the paper is intended to function both as a free-standing entity and as an extended bridge between the last section of the earlier essay and the first section of its successor. According to Meyer Weisgal's detailed account of the origins of The Eter­ nal Road, Reinhardt had no inkling of his plans until their November 1933 meeting in Paris.1 Weisgal began by outlining the idea of a biblical drama that would for the first time evoke the Old Testan1ent in all its breadth rather than in isolated episodes. At the end of his account, according to Weisgal, Reinhardt sat motionless and in silence before saying »very sim­ ply<< »But who will be the author of this biblical play and who will write the mu­ sic?<< . »You are the master<< , I said, ••It is up to you to select them<<. Again there was a long uncomfortable pause and Reinhardt said that he would ask Franz Werfel and Kurt Weill to collaborate with him. With or without prior notice2, the problems inherent in Weisgal's com­ mission were so complex that Reinhardt would have had good reason for Meyer W. Weisgal, >Beginnings of The Eternal Road<, in: T"he Etemal Road (New York 1937 - programme-book for the production by MWW and Crosby Gaige at the Man­ hattan Opera House), pp.

  • 67 Gaetano Donizetti LES MARTYRS Grand Opera In
    Gaetano Donizetti LES MARTYRS Grand opera in four acts Libretto by Eugène Scribe First performance: 10 April 1840, Paris Opéra ORIGINAL CAST Polyeucte Gilbert Duprez Pauline Julie Dorus-Gras Sévère Jean-Etienne-Auguste Massol Félix Prosper Dérivis Callisthènes Jacques-Emil Serda Néarque Pierre François Wartel Un Chrétien François Gély (stage name Molinier) The action takes place in Mélitène, capital of Armenia. By restoring various cuts made to the score of Les Martyrs before the first performances in Paris, the present recording allows us to hear several passages of music never before played in public, and to appreciate the opera in a version much closer to Donizetti’s original intentions. For ease of reading these restored cuts are shown here in blue. 67 CD1 77’21 ACT 1 [1] Overture CHORUS OF CHRISTIANS O Dieu tutélaire, Oh protecting God, O toi notre père Oh you our father Qui règne sur terre comme dans les cieux, Who reigns on earth as in heaven, Dieu tutélaire, Protecting God, Qui règne sur terre comme dans les cieux. Who reigns on earth as in heaven. SCENE I Néarque, Polyeucte, Chorus of Christians. The scene depicts some catacombs, accessed by a staircase cut into the rock. In the foreground, to the right of the audience, stand some Roman tombs, one of which is particularly magnificent. On the left, about three-quarters of the way back, is the entrance to a cave leading to other tombs. It is dark. Several groups of Christians have come down into the catacombs. One group is already in the underground passages; the other group is still at the top of the staircase.

  • Gli Esiliati in Siberia, Exile, and Gaetano Donizetti Alexander Weatherson
    Gli esiliati in Siberia, exile, and Gaetano Donizetti Alexander Weatherson How many times did Donizetti write or rewrite Otto mesi in due ore. No one has ever been quite sure: at least five times, perhaps seven - it depends how the changes he made are viewed. Between 1827 and 1845 he set and reset the music of this strange but true tale of heroism - of the eighteen-year-old daughter who struggled through snow and ice for eight months to plead with the Tsar for the release of her father from exile in Siberia, making endless changes - giving it a handful of titles, six different poets supplying new verses (including the maestro himself), with- and-without spoken dialogue, with-and-without Neapolitan dialect, with-and-without any predictable casting (the prima donna could be a soprano, mezzo-soprano or contralto at will), and with-and-without any very enduring resolution at the end so that this extraordinary work has an even-more-fantastic choice of synopses than usual. It was this score that stayed with him throughout his years of international fame even when Lucia di Lammermoor and Don Pasquale were taking the world by storm. It is perfectly possible in fact that the music of his final revision of Otto mesi in due ore was the very last to which he turned his stumbling hand before mental collapse put an end to his hectic career. How did it come by its peculiar title? In 1806 Sophie Cottin published a memoir in London and Paris of a real-life Russian heroine which she called 'Elisabeth, ou Les Exilés de Sibérie'.

  • JOAN SUTHERLAND John Pritchard (1918–89)
    JOAN SUTHERLAND John Pritchard (1918–89). Walthamstow-born, John Pritchard learned his craft as principal conductor of the Derby String Orchestra, before joining the music staff of Glyndebourne in 1947. Appointed Chorus Master in 1949, he was soon sharing major Mozart productions with Fritz Busch, conducting the London Philharmonic Orchestra there and swiftly expanding his repertoire. The company’s Musical Director from 1969 to 1977, he was also a regular guest at the Royal Opera, where in 1955 he conducted the premiere of Tippett’s A Midsummer Marriage. His opera and concert work encircled the globe, with periods at the helm of many companies and orchestras, notably the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic and BBC Symphony. He was knighted in 1983. Though his full diary could result in perfunctory routine, fiery theatricality and a grasp of essentials inform his best work – not least in many studio and off-air recordings made with his ‘home’, Glyndebourne company, and for BBC radio. Joan Sutherland (1926–2010). The world-renowned soprano Joan Sutherland left her Sydney home for London in 1952, with the ultimate aim of singing Wagner. Contracted to Covent Garden, she felt her future lay in heavy, dramatic roles; and her early assignments there included Amelia in Verdi’s Un ballo in maschera and the title role in Aida. Soon her breathtaking agility, crystalline staccatos and unique stratospheric purity became evident – not least as Jenifer in Tippett’s The Midsummer Marriage, followed swiftly by the doll Olympia in Offenbach’s Les contes d’Hoffmann (both 1955). Although increasingly identified with the bel canto repertoire, until her 1959 Covent Garden triumph in Donizetti’s Lucia di Lammermoor she kept her options open.

  • Lucia Di Lammermoor
    July 30, 2020 – Gaetano Donizetti’s Lucia di Lammermoor “Lammermoor lass goes mad, stabs fiancée to death” is the headline that might have appeared in The Scotsman following the premiere of Gaetano Donizetti’s Lucia di Lammermoor, which is featured on this week’s Thursday Night Opera House. Loosely based on Sir Walter Scott’s historical novel The Bride of Lammermoor, the opera benefitted greatly from a European interest in the history and culture of Scotland: the perceived romance of its violent wars and feuds, as well as its folklore and mythology, intrigued nineteenth-century readers and audiences. Lucia premiered on September 26, 1835 at the Teatro San Carlo in Naples. It has always been the best-known of Donizetti's tragic operas and has never fallen out of the standard repertory. In seventeenth-century Scotland, Lucia (soprano Andrea Rost) loves Edgardo (tenor Bruce Ford), the dispossessed master of Ravenswood and an enemy of her family. The couple exchange rings and vows before Edgardo leaves the country on a mission, and Lucia’s brother Enrico (baritone Anthony Michaels-Moore), learning of this, is outraged. He wants his sister to make a politically advantageous marriage to Lord Arturo Bucklaw (tenor Paul Charles Clark) and shows her a forged letter supposedly written by Edgardo that “proves” his infidelity. In the light of this and persuaded by the chaplain Raimondo (bass Alastair Miles), Lucia reluctantly agrees to the marriage. Months later Edgardo returns, interrupts the wedding celebration, curses Lucia and flings her ring at her, provoking Enrico to challenge him to a duel in the Ravenswood cemetery.

  • La Fille Du Régiment
    LELELELE BUGUE BUGUEBUGUEBUGUE Salle Eugène Le Roy Réservation : Maison de la Presse Le Bugue 05 53 07 22 83 Gaetano Donizetti LA FILLE DU RÉGIMENT Orpheline, Marie was taken in by Sergeant Sulpice, who employs him as a cantinière in his regiment. Crazy in love with Marie, the young peasant Tonio engages in the battalion to see her every day. When the Marquise of Berkenfield reveals the true identity of Mary, who is her daughter, the young woman could be separated forever from Tonio. Acclaimed by the lyric press, South African soprano Pretty Yende returns to the stage of the Met opposite the tenor Javier Camarena for an opera of great vocal virtuosity under the baton of Enrique Mazzola. The alchemist Donizetti's expertise once again acts with this unique blend of melancholy and joy. Tenor Javier Camarena and soprano Pretty Yende team up for a feast of bel canto vocal fireworks—including the show-stopping tenor aria “Ah! Mes amis … Pour mon âme,” with its nine high Cs. Alessandro Corbelli and Maurizio Muraro trade off as the comic Sergeant Sulpice, with mezzo-soprano Stephanie Blythe as the outlandish Marquise of Berkenfield. And in an exciting piece of casting, stage and screen icon Kathleen Turner makes her Met debut in the speaking role of the Duchess of Krakenthorp. Enrique Mazzola conducts.
