B U L L E T I N CENTRAL OPERA SERVICE Sponsored by THE BULLETIN CENTRAL OPERA SERVICE sponsored by THE NATIONAL COUNCIL of the METROPOLITAN OPERA ASSOCIATION 147 West Thirty-ninth Street, New York 18, N.Y. Tel:PE6-12OO MARCH 1962 NEW OPERAS, COMMISSIONS AND REWRITES The New York City Opera Company, under the sponsorship of the Ford Foundation has commissioned its fourth opera. They have chosen Hugo Weisgall as the composer and Dennis Johnston for the libretto. The opera will be based on the novel "Nine Rivers from Jordan". Messrs. Weisgall and Johnston once before have collaborated on an opera which was presented by the New York City Opera Co. in 1955, namely "Six Characters in Search of an Author". No performance date has been set as yet for the new work. "The Greenfield Christmas Tree" is the title of the latest of Christmas operas, this one composed by Douglas Moore. It is to be premiered by the Hartford (Conn.) Symphony at Yuletime 1962. "The Nightingale and the Rose" was the opera commiss- ioned in 1942 by the National Broadcasting Corp. written by Mr. George Lessner, and premiered that year over the NBC network. Now Mr. Lessner has rewritten the opera for stage presentation in a unique arrangement for voice and ballet. For further information contact Lance Productions, Inc., 353 W 57 Str., New York 19, who also are in posession of a taped copy of the original NBC broadcast. Nicholas Flagello, composer-conductor at the Manhattan School of Music recently had the first performance of his opera "The Sisters" at the Manhattan Opera Theatre. TRANSLATIONS The prolific MARTINS (Ruth and Thomas) have come up with a new translation, this one of the "Barber of Seville" which will be performed for the first time at the San Francisco Opera in May of this year. It will be published by G. Schirmer. Their newly revised translation of "The Abduction from the Seraglio" will be performed this month at Hunter College (see performance listings). Joseph MACHLIS, another successful translator, is responsible for the English -2- version of Italo Montemezzi's "The Love of Three Kings", presented by NBC - TV Opera on February 25. The performance featured Giorgio Tozzi, Phyllis Curtin and Richard Torigi, it was directed by Kirk Browning, conducted by Alfred Wallenstein, designed by Ed Wittstein and produced by Samuel Chotzinoff. Another TV opera broadcast took place on March 11 over Columbia Broadcasting Network under the title "The Drama of Carmen". This was not a full opera per- formance, but seperate scenes were presented by Leonard Bernstein and the New York Philharmonic with Mr. Bernstein demonstrating the difference between the two "Carmen" versions. The original one has spoken recitatives while the common- ly performed one has the music running all through the drama. With the spoken scenes done in an English translation the listener was presented with some new and very revealing facts about the characters and situations in the opera. These scenes alternated with the equivilant ones sung by opera singers in the original French, whereas the former were presented by actors. ANNIVERSARIES On September 4 of this year the French-American composer DARIUS MILHAUD will celebrate his 70th birthday. This might well bring added interest in his com- positions and following we give our members a list of operas by Milhaud (all published and available at Theodore Presser Comp., Bryn Mawr, Pa.) Esther De Carpentras (2 acts, 90 min.) Fiesta (One act, 23 min.) Les Malheurs d'Orphee (3 acts, 55 min.) Medee (3 acts, 75 min.) Le Pauvre Matelot (one act, 3 scenes, 45 min.)

As stated by Carlisle Floyd, the composer of Susannah: My first consideration in attempting an opera is whether or not the subject is one in which the emo­ tional, psychological, and philosophical concepts of the story can be externalized through action and visible situation and still retain absorbing, multi­ dimensional characters.

  • Verdi's Rigoletto
    Verdi’s Rigoletto - A discographical conspectus by Ralph Moore It is hard if not impossible, to make a representative survey of recordings of Rigoletto, given that there are 200 in the catalogue; I can only compromise by compiling a somewhat arbitrary list comprising of a selection of the best-known and those which appeal to me. For a start, there are thirty or so studio recordings in Italian; I begin with one made in 1927 and 1930, as those made earlier than that are really only for the specialist. I then consider eighteen of the studio versions made since that one. I have not reviewed minor recordings or those which in my estimation do not reach the requisite standard; I freely admit that I cannot countenance those by Sinopoli in 1984, Chailly in 1988, Rahbari in 1991 or Rizzi in 1993 for a combination of reasons, including an aversion to certain singers – for example Gruberova’s shrill squeak of a soprano and what I hear as the bleat in Bruson’s baritone and the forced wobble in Nucci’s – and the existence of a better, earlier version by the same artists (as with the Rudel recording with Milnes, Kraus and Sills caught too late) or lacklustre singing in general from artists of insufficient calibre (Rahbari and Rizzi). Nor can I endorse Dmitri Hvorostovsky’s final recording; whether it was as a result of his sad, terminal illness or the vocal decline which had already set in I cannot say, but it does the memory of him in his prime no favours and he is in any case indifferently partnered.
