Opera Olimpiade
OPERA OLIMPIADE Pietro Metastasio’s L’Olimpiade, presented in concert with music penned by sixteen of the Olympian composers of the 18th century VENICE BAROQUE ORCHESTRA Andrea Marcon, conductor Romina Basso Megacle Franziska Gottwald Licida Karina Gauvin Argene Ruth Rosique Aristea Carlo Allemano Clistene Nicholas Spanos Aminta Semi-staged by Nicolas Musin SUMMARY Although the Olympic games are indelibly linked with Greece, Italy was progenitor of the Olympic operas, spawning a musical legacy that continues to resound in opera houses and concert halls today. Soon after 1733, when the great Roman poet Pietro Metastasio witnessed the premiere of his libretto L’Olimpiade in Vienna, a procession of more than 50 composers began to set to music this tale of friendship, loyalty and passion. In the course of the 18th century, theaters across Europe commissioned operas from the Olympian composers of the day, and performances were acclaimed in the royal courts and public opera houses from Rome to Moscow, from Prague to London. Pieto Metastasio In counterpoint to the 2012 Olympic games, Opera Olimpiade has been created to explore and celebrate the diversity of musical expression inspired by this story of the ancient games. Research in Europe and the United States yielded L’Olimpiade manuscripts by many composers, providing the opportunity to extract the finest arias and present Metastasio’s drama through an array of great musical minds of the century. Andrea Marcon will conduct the Venice Baroque Orchestra and a cast of six virtuosi singers—dare we say of Olympic quality—in concert performances of the complete libretto, a succession of 25 spectacular arias and choruses set to music by 16 Title page of David Perez’s L’Olimpiade, premiered in Lisbon in 1753 composers: Caldara, Vivaldi, Pergolesi, Leo, Galuppi, Perez, Hasse, Traetta, Jommelli, Piccinni, Gassmann, Mysliveek, Sarti, Cherubini, Cimarosa, and Paisiello. -

Sarti's Fra I Due Litiganti and Opera in Vienna
John Platoff Trinity College March 18 2019 Sarti’s Fra i due litiganti and Opera in Vienna NOTE: This is work in progress. Please do not cite or quote it outside the seminar without my permission. In June 1784, Giuseppe Sarti passed through Vienna on his way from Milan to St. Petersburg, where he would succeed Giovanni Paisiello as director of the imperial chapel for Catherine the Great. On June 2 Sarti attended a performance at the Burgtheater of his opera buffa Fra i due litiganti il terzo gode, which was well on its way to becoming one of the most highly successful operas of the late eighteenth century. At the order of Emperor Joseph II, Sarti received the proceeds of the evening’s performance, which amounted to the substantial sum of 490 florins.1 Fra i due litiganti, premiered at La Scala in Milan on September 14, 1782, had been an immediate success, and within a short time began receiving productions in other cities. It was performed in Venice under the title I pretendenti delusi; and it was the third opera produced in Vienna by the newly re-established opera buffa company there in the spring of 1783. By the time of Sarti’s visit to the Hapsburg capital a year later, Fra i due litiganti was the most popular opera in Vienna. It had already been performed twenty-eight times in its first season alone, a total unmatched by any other operatic work of the decade. Thus the Emperor’s awarding 1 Link, National Court Theatre, 42 and n. -
Call for Papers Luigi Marchesi (1754-1829), “Ocean of Sopranos”: Career of a Castrato Singer
CALL FOR PAPERS LUIGI MARCHESI (1754-1829), “OCEAN OF SOPRANOS”: CAREER OF A CASTRATO SINGER Bergamo, October 16-17, 2015 CFP deadline: March 30, 2015 Luigi Marchesi was one of the most famous singers of the second half of the Eighteenth Century, acclaimed performer of operas by Pasquale An- fossi, Domenico Cimarosa, Alessandro Tarchi, Johann Simon Mayr, Nic- colò Zingarelli, Antonio Salieri, Giuseppe Sarti, Francesco Bianchi, Josef Mysliveček, etc. The brilliant career of this emblematic castrato spread across Europe: enormous triumphs throughout Italy were followed by travels to St. Peter- sburg, London, Warsaw and Vienna. Thanks to his incredible coloratura, a legendary range, and a dazzling singing technique, Marchesi proved himself to be the perfect performer for extremely virtuosic and heroic roles. With Rubinelli and Pacchierotti he was universally considered one of the most important singers of his time. Marchesi was also fiercely criticized: his style in embellishments and his acting became topics for discussions strongly influenced by the incipient sunset of the castrati era in theatres. Stile Galante (Amsterdam) wishes to dedicate to Luigi Marchesi a two-day international conference, to be held in Bergamo on October 16-17, 2015. CONFERENCE BOARD Nicholas Baragwanath (University of Nottingham) Rosa Cafiero (Università Cattolica di Milano) Damien Colas (CNRS) Paolo Fabbri (Università degli Studi di Ferrara) Giulia Giovani (Centro Studi sulla Cantata Italiana) Claudio Toscani (Università degli Studi di Milano). The international conference Luigi Marchesi, “Ocean of Sopranos”: Career of a Castrato Singer is a part of The Luigi Marchesi Project (<www.luigimarchesimusic.com>). Conference proceedings are going to be published by February 2016. -

"Ei, Dem Alten Herrn Zoll' Ich Achtung Gern'"
Christine Siegert, Kristin Herold Die Gattung als vernetzte Struktur Überlegungen zur Oper um 1800 In der zweiten Hälfte des 18. Jahrhunderts bildete sich ein Repertoire vor allem ita- lienischer Opern heraus, die in ganz Europa gespielt wurden. Dabei wurden sie bekanntermaßen an die jeweiligen Aufführungsbedingungen angepasst. Dass die so zustande gekommenen Bearbeitungen als konstitutiv für die Gattung Oper gelten können und dass Opern in jener Zeit daher als Werke angesehen werden müssen, die sich aus der Gesamtheit ihrer Quellen konstituieren, wurde an anderer Stelle zu zeigen versucht. Ein wesentliches Moment bei der Anpassung waren die sogenannten Einlagearien, die zusätzlich oder als Ersatz für andere Arien in die Opern eingefügt wurden. Es konnte sich sowohl um eigens für den neuen Kontext komponierte Arien handeln als auch um Arien, die ursprünglich aus anderen Opern stammten. Diese Arien wanderten also von einem Bühnenwerk in ein anderes – sei es auf der Basis des Notentextes, der verbreitet wurde, sei es auf der Basis des Materials, indem eine Arie einer Opernpartitur entnommen und in eine andere wieder eingefügt wurde. Gerade der letztere Vorgang zeigt, dass die Arien im Resultat beiden Opern zugehörten, der Oper, aus der sie ursprünglich stammten, und der Oper, der sie später angehören. Die Arien schaffen also eine Verbindung zwischen verschiedenen Werken der Gattung. Die Erforschung solcher Verbindungen hat sich bislang auf den Einzelfall beschränkt, etwa indem Einlagearien einer Oper als aus einer anderen Oper stammend identifiziert wurden. Indes wurde unseres Wissens noch nicht versucht, das Phänomen umfassend zu untersuchen. So haben auch wir bei unseren Recherchen zunächst begonnen, solche Einzelbeobachtungen zu sammeln. -
Le Musiche Di Palazzo Pitti Al Tempo Dei Granduchi Asburgo- Lorena
Stefania Gitto Le musiche di Palazzo Pitti al tempo dei granduchi Asburgo- Lorena. Storia della collezione musicale granducale1 Introduzione Le ricerche musicologiche sulla figura dell’abate Luigi Gatti, compositore mantovano divenuto maestro di cappella a Salisburgo al tempo del noto arci- vescovo Hieronymus di Colloredo, promosse dal Conservatorio di Mantova2 e la conseguente campagna di catalogazione e digitalizzazione delle composizioni del musicista custodite a Firenze, furono l’occasione iniziale per lo studio dell’in- tera, preziosa collezione musicale di Palazzo Pitti. Più noto oggi come fondo Pitti e dal 1862 custodito presso il conservatorio Luigi Cherubini di Firenze, l’archivio musicale degli Asburgo-Lorena fino allo scorso anno figurava solo nel catalogo generale a schede della biblioteca3, seb- bene ricco di importanti composizioni manoscritte e a stampa dei secoli XVIII e XIX. Grazie al sostegno della Galleria dell’Accademia e di Villa I Tatti4, il Conservatorio poté iniziare nel 2009 la catalogazione informatica5 del fondo mu- sicale, oggi completata e in parte già visibile anche sulla base dati nazionale SBN. Il progetto, oltre ad avere un valore biblioteconomico rilevante per la com- plessa casistica di materiale musicale presente e per le diverse possibilità di fru- izione e valorizzazione delle registrazioni catalografiche tramite il web, ha com- portato l’avvio di un’indagine, tuttora in corso, sull’inedita storia bibliografica e musicale della collezione palatina. Attraverso lo studio della stratificazione libraria e la fruizione delle stesse musiche presso la corte granducale si vorrebbe ricreare il contesto storico e cul- turale nel quale queste opere, giunte a Firenze da varie e spesso ancora miste- riose provenienze, si incontrarono e ‘concertarono’, per dare vita alla libreria granducale, in una complessità di relazioni fra musicisti, esecutori, donatori, intermediari, librai, archivisti, possessori e fruitori.
