Staged by Dmitri Tcherniakov SERGEI PROKOFIEV BETROTHAL IN A MONASTERY At the Staatsoper Unter den Linden Dmitri Tcherniakov stages Prokofiev’s lyrical comic opera Betrothal in a Monastery under Orchestra Staatskapelle Berlin Daniel Barenboim’s baton. Though composed in wartime Soviet Conductor Daniel Barenboim Russia, the plot is a non political classic comedy of errors based Choir Staatsopernchor Berlin Chorus Master Martin Wright on Richard Sheridan’s 18th-century play The Duenna about two Stage Director Dmitri Tcherniakov young couples who want to come together and an old man who wants to prevent this – and all kinds of confusion and misunder- Don Jerome Stephan Rügamer standings. Russian director Tcherniakov recasts the complete Don Ferdinand Andrei Zhilikhovsky Luisa Aida Garifullina opera as therapeutic role play for “Opera-Addict Anonymus”. The Duenna Violeta Urmana Daniel Barenboim conducts the Staatskapelle Berlin and “the Don Antonio Bogdan Volkov uniformly excellent cast” (Financial Times). Aida Garifullina “who Clara d‘Almanza Anna Goryachova Mendoza Goran Jurić did not have to shy away from the musical comparison with the Don Carlos Lauri Vasar young Anna Netrebko” impresses with her “highly attractive, Host Maxim Paster slightly darkened timbre”, Bogdan Volkov is “an ideal Don Antonio, Video Director Andy Summer an elegantly phrasing Iyric tenor” and Stephan Rügamer shines with his “characteristic tenor voice” (Opernglas). “Musically this Length: 168' performance is a celebration in every sense” applauds BR Klassik.

Teacher Notes on Russian Music and Composers Prokofiev Gave up His Popularity and Wrote Music to Please Stalin. He Wrote Music
Teacher Notes on Russian Music and Composers x Prokofiev gave up his popularity and wrote music to please Stalin. He wrote music to please the government. x Stravinsky is known as the great inventor of Russian music. x The 19th century was a time of great musical achievement in Russia. This was the time period in which “The Five” became known. They were: Rimsky-Korsakov (most influential, 1844-1908) Borodin Mussorgsky Cui Balakirev x Tchaikovsky (1840-’93) was not know as one of “The Five”. x Near the end of the Stalinist Period Prokofiev and Shostakovich produced music so peasants could listen to it as they worked. x During the 17th century, Russian music consisted of sacred vocal music or folk type songs. x Peter the Great liked military music (such as the drums). He liked trumpet music, church bells and simple Polish music. He did not like French or Italian music. Nor did Peter the Great like opera.

Sergei Prokofiev
Sergei Prokofiev Sergei Sergeyevich Prokofiev (/prɵˈkɒfiɛv/; Russian: Сергей Сергеевич Прокофьев, tr. Sergej Sergeevič Prokof'ev; April 27, 1891 [O.S. 15 April];– March 5, 1953) was a Russian composer, pianist and conductor. As the creator of acknowledged masterpieces across numerous musical genres, he is regarded as one of the major composers of the 20th century. His works include such widely heard works as the March from The Love for Three Oranges, the suite Lieutenant Kijé, the ballet Romeo and Juliet – from which "Dance of the Knights" is taken – and Peter and the Wolf. Of the established forms and genres in which he worked, he created – excluding juvenilia – seven completed operas, seven symphonies, eight ballets, five piano concertos, two violin concertos, a cello concerto, and nine completed piano sonatas. A graduate of the St Petersburg Conservatory, Prokofiev initially made his name as an iconoclastic composer-pianist, achieving notoriety with a series of ferociously dissonant and virtuosic works for his instrument, including his first two piano concertos. In 1915 Prokofiev made a decisive break from the standard composer-pianist category with his orchestral Scythian Suite, compiled from music originally composed for a ballet commissioned by Sergei Diaghilev of the Ballets Russes. Diaghilev commissioned three further ballets from Prokofiev – Chout, Le pas d'acier and The Prodigal Son – which at the time of their original production all caused a sensation among both critics and colleagues. Prokofiev's greatest interest, however, was opera, and he composed several works in that genre, including The Gambler and The Fiery Angel. Prokofiev's one operatic success during his lifetime was The Love for Three Oranges, composed for the Chicago Opera and subsequently performed over the following decade in Europe and Russia.

As he prepares to sing Filippo in Covent Garden's Don Carlo, the Italian bass speaks to BARRY SINGER about maintaining that standard — and where he fears the opera world is heading.

"When we started — when I started — I was in a position to learn daily from these amazing directors, from these amazing conductors. It was splendid. And a young kid could really grow and learn and gain a clear idea of each new role, and that role was then marked forever." Epic vocal brilliance and an eloquent sensitivity to character have marked virtually every role undertaken by this esteemed bass from Sacile, Italy, over a thirty-nine-year professional career.

UNITEL and CLASSICA Present MODEST MUSORGSKY
UNITEL and CLASSICA present MODEST MUSORGSKY KHOVANSHCHINA MODEST MUSORGSKY KHOVANSHCHINA ne of the great talents of Modest Musorgsky (1839–1881) was his unique Oability to transpose words, psychological states and even physical move- ments into music. And even if he left his opera “Khovanshchina“ (The Khovan- sky Affair) incomplete and unorchestrated, the sheer theatricality of its musical text reveals the presence of a work that begs for a stage production. The ﬁrst completion and orchestration was made by Musorgsky‘s contemporary Rimsky- Korsakov, but the more slender, powerful, raw orchestration made by Dmitri Shostakovich in 1960 is the one preferred today, and the version chosen by Kent Nagano for the Munich production recorded here. The plot is a darkly shimmering panorama of ruthless Music by Modest Musorgsky power plays, intrigues and bloodshed in late 17th-century Russia. A nation torn by inner strife, with various factions Conductor Kent Nagano struggling for power at court: the followers of Prince Ivan Orchestra Bayerisches Staatsorchester Khovansky, the leader of the Streltsys (musketeers), and Ivan Khovansky Paata Burchuladze those of Prince Golitsin, faithful to the tsar.

Dramatic Musical Versions of Dostoevsky: Sergei Prokopev's the Gambler
DRAMATIC MUSICAL VERSIONS OF DOSTOEVSKY: SERGEI PROKOPEV'S THE GAMBLER by Vladimir Seduro * I The Russian composer Sergei Sergeevich Prokof'ev (1891-1953) stands as a pioneer in the creation of large operatic works based on Dostoevsky. The composer Nikolai Iakovlevich Miaskovskii (1881-1950) also dreamed of an opera based on Dostoevsky. While working on his operatic version of The Idiot, Miaskovskii even considered to whom he would assign the roles of Nastas'ia Filip- povna and Aglaia. He first conceived the part of Nastas'ia for the actress V. N. Petrova-Zvantseva, and he had the singer E. V. Kono- sova-Derzhanovskaia in mind for the role of Aglaia Epanchina. But his constant directorial and teaching duties and the distraction of his symphonic work absorbed his attention and his energies in other musical activities. But the idea of basing an opera on Dostoevsky's The Gambler was realized before the Revolution in Russia. It is true that before Prokof'ev there was a Russian opera based on Dostoevsky's story «The Little Boy at Christ's Christmas Tree.» The opera The Christmas Tree [«Yolka»] by Vladimir Rebikov was produced in 1903 at the Moscow «Aquarium» Theatre nm by M. E. Medvedev, and in 1906 it saw the footlights of theaters in Prague, Brno, and Berlin. But the contents of The Christmas Tree were only indirectly linked to Dostoevsky's story. Rebikov's one act, three scene opera joined the theme of Dostoevsky's story to the plot of Hans Christian Andersen's story «The Girl with the * Dr. Vladimir Seduro, Professor of Russian at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, is the author of several books, the most recent of which are Dostoevski's Image in Russia Today (Nordland, 1975) and Dostoevski in Russian Emigre Criticism (Nordland, 1975).
