  • Broadcasting the Arts: Opera on TV
    Broadcasting the Arts: Opera on TV With onstage guests directors Brian Large and Jonathan Miller & former BBC Head of Music & Arts Humphrey Burton on Wednesday 30 April BFI Southbank’s annual Broadcasting the Arts strand will this year examine Opera on TV; featuring the talents of Maria Callas and Lesley Garrett, and titles such as Don Carlo at Covent Garden (BBC, 1985) and The Mikado (Thames/ENO, 1987), this season will show how television helped to democratise this art form, bringing Opera into homes across the UK and in the process increasing the public’s understanding and appreciation. In the past, television has covered opera in essentially four ways: the live and recorded outside broadcast of a pre-existing operatic production; the adaptation of well-known classical opera for remounting in the TV studio or on location; the very rare commission of operas specifically for television; and the immense contribution from a host of arts documentaries about the world of opera production and the operatic stars that are the motor of the industry. Examples of these different approaches which will be screened in the season range from the David Hockney-designed The Magic Flute (Southern TV/Glyndebourne, 1978) and Luchino Visconti’s stage direction of Don Carlo at Covent Garden (BBC, 1985) to Peter Brook’s critically acclaimed filmed version of The Tragedy of Carmen (Alby Films/CH4, 1983), Jonathan Miller’s The Mikado (Thames/ENO, 1987), starring Lesley Garret and Eric Idle, and ENO’s TV studio remounting of Handel’s Julius Caesar with Dame Janet Baker. Documentaries will round out the experience with a focus on the legendary Maria Callas, featuring rare archive material, and an episode of Monitor with John Schlesinger’s look at an Italian Opera Company (BBC, 1958).

  • CHAPTER 5 EPILOGUE It Has Been My Aim in This Thesis to Address a Two-Fold Proposition. Informed by My Reading of the Work of Gi
    CHAPTER 5 EPILOGUE It has been my aim in this thesis to address a two-fold proposition. Informed by my reading of the work of Gilles de Van, I have discovered that Verdi wished to realize a concept which he called posizione. He provided musical strategies which would delineate characters in their subjective and objective ‘position’ with regard to circumstance and to their relationship with other characters at any given moment of the operatic narrative. The term posizione was intended to denote a musico-dramatic mapping of the co-ordinates which could pinpoint this relationship. With Verdi’s concept in view I have investigated the posizione of Violetta Valéry’s character as it has evolved throughout the course of the operatic narrative of La traviata. In addressing the second facet of my proposition I have taken the term posizione into the broader context of its social implications for the character of Violetta and for women of suspect moral status. In order to do this I have investigated the literary and factual provenance of the narrative and the contemporary response of Despite Budden’s own speculative objection to the notion that Verdi compared Violetta with Giuseppina Strepponi, the possibility remains that the courtesan character elicited a special sympathy from Verdi. The life of Alexandre Dumas fils is the origin from which the narrative of La traviata is drawn. Dumas fils turned the experience of his own liaison with the courtesan Marie Duplessis into the novel La Dame aux Camélias which he later adapted for the stage. As characterized by Dumas, Duplessis, transformed into the more noble Marguerite Gautier, renounced her own happiness in order to save the reputation of the family to whom her lover Armand 192 Duval belonged.

  • Mercoledì Opera Luglio 2013
    Mercoledì Opera luglio 2013 VIVA VERDI! Nel corso del 1800, l’Italia si trasforma da paese soggiogato al dominio straniero in uno stato unificato indipendente, desideroso di far parte delle grandi potenze europee. ll Risorgimento, le lotte per l’unificazione d’Italia, non potevano lasciare indifferente l’animo del compositore che, dell’Italia e della sua vocazione alla musica e al canto, sarebbe diventato l’icona: Giuseppe Verdi. Nabucco, I Lombardi, Attila e Macbeth esprimono il sincero amore patriottico di Verdi e il suo dolore per un popolo oppresso. Il nome del Maestro rimarrà per sempre legato agli ideali del Risorgimento, trasformandosi in un acrostico rivoluzionario, “Viva V.e.r.d.i!”, da leggersi „Viva Vittorio Emanuele re d’Italia!”. Lo stesso Verdi finisce per credere in questo progetto quando capisce che l’unità del paese si può concretizza- re non tanto attraverso l’insurrezione popolare e l’utopia repubblicana di Mazzini, ma esclusivamente con un paziente lavoro diplomatico e culturale. Per questo, parlare oggi di musica, d’ Italia e di cultura significa, a duecen- to anni dalla nascita del musicista, parlare ancora di Giuseppe Verdi.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE February 20, 2013 Contact: Katherine E. Johnson (212) 875-5718; [email protected] THE BACH VARIATIONS: A PHILHARMONIC FESTIVAL MARCH 6–APRIL 6, 2013 PROGRAM II OF IV Alan Gilbert To Conduct Mass in B minor With Soprano Dorothea Röschmann, Mezzo-Soprano Anne Sofie von Otter, Tenor Steve Davislim, and Bass-Baritone Eric Owens with the New York Choral Artists March 13–16 The New York Philharmonic will present The Bach Variations: A Philharmonic Festival March 6–April 6, 2013. On the festival’s second orchestral program, Alan Gilbert will conduct the Philharmonic in Bach’s Mass in B minor, with soprano Dorothea Röschmann, mezzo-soprano Anne Sofie von Otter, tenor Steve Davislim, bass-baritone Eric Owens, and the New York Choral Artists, Joseph Flummerfelt, director, Wednesday, March 13, 2013, at 7:30 p.m.; Thursday, March 14 at 7:30 p.m.; Friday, March 15 at 8:00 p.m.; and Saturday, March 16 at 8:00 p.m. “The Mass in B minor is a consummate masterpiece that makes me feel humble as a musician when I hear it,” Alan Gilbert said. “Bach took a liturgical, religious starting point and made it even more universal. No matter what you believe, no matter your religious credo, or whether or not you even have a religious credo, it is impossible not to be incredibly moved by this music because it speaks from one human being directly into the heart of another. I feel very privileged to be able to touch this music.” The Bach Variations marks the first time the New York Philharmonic has presented a festival of the music of the Baroque master.
