The Maid of Artois (Canpion Cameo - Cam€O 2042-3)
L7 Kay Jordan does very well indeed with a title-role straight out of the Guinness Book of Records, the beautiful sounds she makes truly evoke the glamour of its unique progenitor and would have justified this project even if the orchestra and conductor had not been so good. In fact both are excellent. The presentation of the recording, its packaging, its sound quality, its notes with complete libretto, all are first-rate. As an example of resource, of clarity, of sheer resiliance, Victorian Opera from its Northem fastness shows the inert Metropolis what can be done with modest means. Is it too much to hope that the latter will one day learn some lessons? A\ry The Maid of Artois (Canpion Cameo - Cam€o 2042-3) We live in a strange land whcre the collective mind seems to revolve around cars, beer to excess, the latest chipboard kilchens, golf and the media. The remarkable thing is that amidst this cultural desert there are people who care and who have an enthusiasm that often puts oth€l nations io shame. I think of the Avison Ensemble in Newcastle reviving the music of Charles Avison (1709-1790), a fine baroque comlnser who proves that there were others than simply Handel composing music of worth in 'the land without music'. Now we can add to Newcastle, Wilmslow. Wilmslow? Where's that? It's somewhere up North. What good has ever come out of Wilmslow? Quite simply the revival of William Balfe's The Maid ol Artois! But then I guess most people in this educationally impoverished country have never heard of Balfe, less still of his opera composed for Malibran in 1836. -

Manon Lescaut : Wagner E Il Settecento
3. MANON LESCAUT : WAGNER E IL SETTECENTO MANON E MANON LESCAUT Ora Puccini era pronto per confrontarsi col capolavoro di Massenet, per di più trattando un soggetto tipicamente francese. Il romanzo di Prévost risaliva al 1731, ed era stato portato all’attenzione dei romantici nel 1820 dall’adattamento drammatico di Étienne Gosse, Manon Lescaut et le chévalier Des Grieux. L’attualità della vicenda stava nella tematica trattata, l’eterno scontro fra vizio e virtù nell’orbita di una passione romantica ante litteram. Non poco peso nella scelta di Puccini dovette avere il fatto che il vero protagonista fosse Des Grieux, in cui poté identificarsi. Prévost finse infatti, come avrebbe fatto Merimée in Carmen, che la storia gli fosse stata raccontata da un giovane sventurato che l’aveva vissuta in prima persona. Ciononostante fu la figura femminile a imporsi fin dal primo importante adattamento per le scene liriche, l’opéra-comique di Scribe per Auber (1856).1 Allo stesso genere apparteneva Manon di Massenet, e anche Puccini dichiarò a Praga che «era sua intenzione musicare un’opera comica nel senso classico della definizione» (ADAMI, pp. 42-3). Le differenze fra i due lavori sono profonde. Manca in Puccini la figura chiave del Conte des Grieux, padre di Renato, che pone fine alla felicità della coppia riprendendosi il figlio con la forza. Solo in conseguenza di questo gesto, di cui è stata forzosamente complice, Manon accetta, con scarso entusiasmo, l’offerta di essere l’amante di Brétigny. Massenet frappone sempre uno schermo galante fra la realtà e la forza dei sentimenti, attribuendo un peso maggiore all’ambiente di nobili e cortigiane in cui gravita la protagonista, mentre Puccini, attenuando il peso delle costrizioni sociali, rende Manon, sazia di 1 In precedenza il soggetto era stato trattato nei due balli pantomimici Manon Lescaut di Jean Pierre Aumer (1830) e di Giovanni Casati (1846), per la musica rispettivamente di Jacques-François-Fromental Halévy e dei fratelli Bellini. -
(“You Love Opera: We'll Go Twice a Week”), Des Grieux Promise
MANON AT THE OPERA: FROM PRÉVOST’S MANON LESCAUT TO AUBER’S MANON LESCAUT AND MASSENET’S MANON VINCENT GIROUD “Vous aimez l’Opéra: nous irons deux fois la semaine” (“You love opera: we’ll go twice a week”), Des Grieux promises Manon in Histoire du Chevalier des Grieux et de Manon Lescaut, as the lovers make plans for their life at Chaillot following their first reconciliation.1 Opera, in turn, has loved Manon, since there exist at least eight operatic versions of the Abbé Prévost’s masterpiece – a record for a modern classic.2 Quickly written in late 1730 and early 1731, the Histoire du Chevalier des Grieux et de Manon Lescaut first appeared in Amsterdam as Volume VII of Prévost’s long novel Mémoires d’un homme de qualité.3 An instantaneous success, it went 1 Abbé Prévost, Histoire du Chevalier des Grieux et de Manon Lescaut, ed.

Citation for Cecilia Bartoli Honorary Conferring Presented by Professor Harry White, UCD School of Music
Citation for Cecilia Bartoli Honorary Conferring Presented by Professor Harry White, UCD School of Music President, Your Excellencies, distinguished guests and colleagues: it is a supreme privilege as well as a great pleasure to present Cecilia Bartoli to you today and to welcome her most warmly to University College Dublin. Although this great artist has been showered with honours from France, Spain, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and of course from Italy, this is the first occasion, so far as I am aware, that she has consented to accept the degree of Doctor of Music, honoris causa. On that account alone, it is especially fitting that she should appear in this capacity solo e pensoso, and that the University should assemble this convocation especially in her honour. As everyone here will know, the acclaim which has greeted this uniquely gifted, uniquely thoughtful Roman Ambassador of music throughout Europe and North America rests upon her recordings, her recitals and her appearances in the great opera houses of the world over the past two decades. But the fame which Cecilia Bartoli enjoys as one of the greatest singers of the age – attested by the stupendous success of her recordings which have made her the best-selling classical artist of her day – is more than a matter of supreme artistry. The triumph of popular culture in general, and of popular musical culture in particular makes it all the more remarkable that Cecilia Bartoli’s voice, lustrous, beautiful and incomparable in terms of technique and expression, should be heard above this clamour by millions of ordinary people. -

Henry Prunières, directeur de la revue et signataire de cette introduction, y stigmatisait le mépris qu'engendrait la notion d'opéra-comique parmi un public wagnérien, debussyste ou stravinskien.

Né des vaudevilles donnés sur les tréteaux des foires parisiennes, il devint "comédie mêlée d'ariettes", définissant ainsi immédiatement sa singularité formelle, à savoir l'alternance du parlé et du chanté. -
Abao-Olbe Presenta Manon Lescaut Protagonizada Por Ainhoa Arteta Y Gregory Kunde
Ópera patrocinada por: ABAO-OLBE PRESENTA MANON LESCAUT PROTAGONIZADA POR AINHOA ARTETA Y GREGORY KUNDE • Debut de Pedro Halffter al frente de la Euskadiko Orkestra Sinfonikoa • Producción procedente del Teatro Regio di Parma, ideada por Stephen Medcalf Bilbao, 16 de febrero de 2016.- ABAO-OLBE (Asociación Bilbaína de Amigos de la Ópera) recupera tras trece años desde su última representación Manon Lescaut de Puccini. Los días 20, 23, 26 y 29 de febrero, con el patrocinio de la Diputación Foral de Bizkaia, sube a escena esta fascinante y trágica historia que encumbró al maestro toscano como uno de los referentes de la escuela verista. La pasión, la virtud, el deseo, la templanza y el amor desesperado y urgente de la juventud atraviesan las escenas de esta tragedia lírica inspirada en un personaje literario considerado uno de los grandes mitos de la historia moderna: la mujer fatal. Manon es una mujer que posee una personalidad magnética y se mueve entre la ingenuidad, la falta de moral, la ternura y el engaño llevando la desgracia a sí misma y a quienes la rodean. Para dar vida a los personajes de esta ópera, ABAO-OLBE ha reunido un elenco encabezado por la soprano guipuzcoana Ainhoa Arteta, recientemente galardonada con la Medalla de Oro al Mérito de las Bellas Artes, quien regresa a Bilbao para poner voz a ‘Manon Lescaut’. A su lado y completando el dúo protagonista el tenor norteamericano Gregory Kunde, distinguido como mejor cantante masculino en los Premios Líricos Teatro Campoamor por su interpretación de ‘Canio’ y ‘Turiddu’ en la producción de ABAO de Cavalleria Rusticana y Pagliacci entre otras, se hace cargo del rol del enamorado ‘Renato des Grieux’. -

JULES MASSENET – His Life and Works by Nick Fuller I
JULES MASSENET – His Life and Works By Nick Fuller I. Introduction Jules Massenet’s operas made him one of the most popular composers of the late nineteenth century, his works performed throughout Europe, the Americas and North Africa. After World War I, he was seen as old- fashioned, and nearly all of his operas, apart from Werther and Manon , vanished from the mainstream repertoire. The opera-going public still know Massenet best for Manon , Werther , and the Méditation from Thaïs , but to believe, as The Grove Dictionary of Opera wrote in 1954, that ‘to have heard Manon is to have heard all of him’ is to do the composer a gross disservice. Massenet wrote twenty-seven operas, many of which are at least as good as Manon and Werther . Nearly all are theatrically effective, boast beautiful music and display insightful characterisation and an instinct for dramatic and psychological truth. In recent decades, Massenet’s work has regained popularity. Although he Figure 1 Jules Massenet, drawing by Ernesto Fontana (Source: is not the household name he once http://artlyriquefr.fr/personnages/Massenet%20Jules.html) was, and many of his operas remain little known, he has been winning new audiences. Conductors like Richard Bonynge, Julius Rudel and Patrick Fournillier have championed Massenet, while since 1990 a biennial Massenet festival has been held in his birthplace, Saint-Étienne, in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, its mission to rediscover Massenet’s operas. His work has been performed in the world’s major opera houses under the baton of conductors Thomas Beecham, Colin Davis, Charles Mackerras, Michel Plasson, Riccardo Chailly and Antonio Pappano, and sung by Joan Sutherland, José van Dam, Frederica von Stade, Nicolai Gedda, Roberto Alagna, Renée Fleming, Thomas Hampson and Plácido Domingo.
