  • André-Ernest-Modeste Grétry
    pour la cour qu’il créée Zemire et Azor en 1771, où Marmontel parodie La Belle et la Bête. Cette nouvelle œuvre dédiée à Madame Du Barry lui vaut l’admiration de la famille royale, des courtisans puis du public, l’aspect fantastique de l’œuvre attisant la curiosité de l’auditoire, confondu par la mystérieuse scène du tableau magique… Triomphe absolu, et là encore Grétry donne le sentiment de proposer un nouveau type de spectacle. 1773 voit le succès du Magnifique écrit avec Sedaine, suivi de La Rosière de Salency, et surtout du premier “Grand Opéra” de Grétry, représenté à l’Opéra Royal de Versailles pour le Mariage du Comte d’Artois : Céphale et Procris. La nouvelle Reine, Marie-Antoinette, s’est tellement entichée de Grétry qu’elle devient la marraine de sa troisième fille en 1774, justement prénommée Antoinette. En six ans à peine, le jeune liégeois arrivé inconnu à Paris en est devenu le principal compositeur, stipendié par la cour… André-Ernest-Modeste Grétry Mais la représentation d’Iphigénie en Aulide de Gluck, au printemps 1774, est une 1741-1813 déflagration de modernité, et lorsque juste après, Céphale et Procris est présenté à l’Académie Royale de Musique, le public est déçu de son manque d’audace. Grétry est éclipsé par le Chevalier Gluck… La fausse magie en 1775, tièdement accueillie, Né à Liège dans une famille de musiciens, il intègre la maîtrise de la Collégiale Saint- est suivie du rebond des Mariages Samnites en 1776, au moment où les œuvres Denis où son père était premier violon.

Furthermore, I am particularly pleased that Joel Prieto, a 2008 YSP participant, will sing the title role in Orphée aux enfers.” With the Young Singers Project, the Salzburg Festival has created a high-carat platform for the support of young vocalists, which looks back upon eleven years of successful history in 2019. Since 2008, 157 young vocalists from 41 countries have participated in the Young Singers Project. This year, 13 young singers from eleven nations will take part. They are from Canada, Spain, the UK, France, Russia, Poland, the USA, Ukraine, Ireland and, for the first time, from Mexico and New Zealand. 1 SALZBURG FESTIVAL 20 July – 31 August 2019 The singers are chosen at international auditions. As part of their fellowship, they have the opportunity to work with Festival artists. Tuition includes not only music lessons and repertoire expansion, but also stage rehearsals, language coaching and lied interpretation.

The Historical and Pedagogical Significance of Excerpts by André-Ernest-Modeste Grétry (1741–1813). Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance), May 2019, 84 pp., 9 figures, bibliography, 50 titles. This collection of 9 vocal works, taken from the oœuvre of André-Ernest-Modeste Grétry (1741–1813), was chosen for their utility in teaching undergrad voice majors. This collection offers a group of songs that are attractive in their simplicity allowing the time in their lessons to be devoted to the instruction of French pronunciation. Grétry’s attention to detail in the setting of French prosody provides undergraduate singers with a collection of songs that offer an immediate understanding as to the nuances of the French language. With funding from an I-GRO grant through the University of North Texas, research was conducted in the archives of the Bibliothèque nationale de France, and work continued in the Grétry Museum in Liège, Belgium. The primary sources found within these locations formulated valuable insights into to the life and influence of Grétry, and provided first-hand experience with research techniques within foreign libraries.

Translating, Adapting, And Performing Opera In Eighteenth-Century Cosmopolitan Europe: Lorenzo Da Ponte At The King's Theatre Abstract This dissertation examines music and text circulation in cosmopolitan Europe during the last decades of the eighteenth century through the lens of translation. London in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries was the largest center of Italian operatic performance outside of Italy. All performances sung at the King’s Theatre, London, were sung in Italian, the presumed language of opera, even when the works had been originated in other languages. This created the need for a culture of translation and adaptation of works from abroad, making them suitable for a London audience partially through the retention of foreignness and partially through domesticating practices. In the 1790s, a period of political tension between Britain and post-Revolution France, four French operas were presented at the King's Theatre in Italian translations attributed to the poet Lorenzo Da Ponte (1749-1838): Gluck's Iphig�nie en Tauride, Gr�try's Z�mire et Azor, Monsigny's La belle Ars�ne, and Sacchini's Arvire et �v�lina.
