  • BAJAZET Ildebrando D’Arcangelo David Daniels Patrizia Ciofi Vivica Genaux Marijana Mijanovic´ Elina Garancva
    VIVALDI BAJAZET Ildebrando D’Arcangelo David Daniels Patrizia Ciofi Vivica Genaux Marijana Mijanovic´ Elina Garancva Europa Galante FABIO BIONDI THE HOME OF OPERA The noble death-pangs of Vivaldian opera In 1735, the year in which Vivaldi’s Bajazet was first performed in Verona, the Venetian dramma per musica was going through a difficult phase. The city that had nurtured Monteverdi and Cavalli, and had for decades been the acknowledged capital of the operatic world, had lost its pre-eminence: as the French writer Montesquieu noted in his diary in 1728, the fact that opera could now be heard throughout Europe meant that La Serenissima’s reputation had been deprived of much of its sheen. In the past, he wrote, ‘there were hardly any operas to be heard apart from in Venice, and those the most beautiful in all Europe’, whereas ‘now, there are operas practically everywhere, and those of Venice no better than the ones to be heard in most other cities’. But the main reason for the city’s decline in fortune came from the south: as Charles de Brosses noted ten years later in his Lettres d’Italie, Naples had by then overtaken Venice as ‘the capital of the musical world’. Neapolitan opera, represented by poets such as Metastasio, composers such as Hasse, Leo and Vinci, and above all by star castrati such as Farinelli, Caffarelli and Carestini, had effectively swamped Venice, which had for too long failed to move with the times, preferring instead to cling to its treasured notions of dramatic truth. By the beginning of the 1720s tastes were beginning to change, and the city was easy prey when the Neapolitan style, with its suave melodies, predictable rhythms and supple vocal lines, launched a full-scale campaign of seduction; within ten years, Neapolitan opera reigned supreme on the Venetian stage.

  • Farnace by Vivaldi Staged at Teatro Malibran
    PRESS RELEASE Venice, May 2021 Farnace by Vivaldi staged at Teatro Malibran With the new production of Farnace, La Fenice has added a new, important piece to its fascinating journey on the discovery of Vivaldi’s operas. After Orlando furioso (2018) and Dorilla in Tempe (2019), the Venetian Opera House is now offering an innovative production of Vivaldi’s opera, with direction by Christophe Gayral, stage design by Rudy Sabounghi, costumes by Elena Cicorella and light design by Giuseppe Di Iorio. Once again Diego Fasolis, one of the greatest experts on the music of Antonio Vivaldi, will conduct the orchestra while the singers was composed during the same period as Dorilla. In fact, it premièred at Teatro Sant’Angelo in Venice during the very same theatre season, on 10 February 1727. It is this first edition, with the “I Barocchisti” modern version, by Renzo Bez, Andrea Marchiol and Alberto Stevanin that will be staged at Teatro Malibran on 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 July 2021. By 1727 Antonio Vivaldi (1678-1741) had reached the height of his fame in Europe. Just two years earlier, the magazine Mercure de France had had no hesitation in describing him as “les plus habile compositeur qui soit à Venice”. A short while earlier, the publisher Michel-Charles Le Cène had printed one of his last authorised concerto collections: Il cimento dell’armonia e dell’inventione, which was mainly responsible for Vivaldi’s success in France. Farnace is just one of the operas Vivaldi composed between 1726 and 1728 and it was in this period that the Red Priest composed, in order, La Dorilla for Teatro Sant’ Angelo, Ipermestra for Teatro della Pergola in Florence and lastly, Farnace, also for Teatro Sant’Angelo.
