  • Voice Types in Opera
    Voice Types in Opera In many of Central City Opera’s educational programs, we spend some time explaining the different voice types – and therefore character types – in opera. Usually in opera, a voice type (soprano, mezzo soprano, tenor, baritone, or bass) has as much to do with the SOUND as with the CHARACTER that the singer portrays. Composers will assign different voice types to characters so that there is a wide variety of vocal colors onstage to give the audience more information about the characters in the story. SOPRANO: “Sopranos get to be the heroine or the princess or the opera star.” – Eureka Street* “Sopranos always get to play the smart, sophisticated, sweet and supreme characters!” – The Great Opera Mix-up* A soprano is a woman’s voice type. There are many different kinds of sopranos within the general category: coloratura, lyric, and spinto are a few. Coloratura soprano: Diana Damrau as The Queen of the Night in The Magic Flute (Mozart): https://youtu.be/dpVV9jShEzU Lyric soprano: Mirella Freni as Mimi in La bohème (Puccini): https://youtu.be/yTagFD_pkNo Spinto soprano: Leontyne Price as Aida in Aida (Verdi): https://youtu.be/IaV6sqFUTQ4?t=1m10s MEZZO SOPRANO: “There are also mezzos with a lower, more exciting woman’s voice…We get to be magical or mythical characters and sometimes… we get to be boys.” – Eureka Street “Mezzos play magnificent, magical, mysterious, and miffed characters.” – The Great Opera Mix-up A mezzo soprano is a woman’s voice type. Just like with sopranos, there are different kinds of mezzo sopranos: coloratura, lyric, and dramatic.

  • 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.

The opera seems to underline Verdi’s shift from the Manichean division between good and evil, which had been a clear, structural element of his dramaturgy up to that point in his career. In this opera, Verdi assembles all his mainstay music theatre themes: power, with its honours and burdens; the contrasts of impossible love; the conflict between father and son; and an oppressed people demanding freedom. Verdi radically revised the score in 1883, using an Italian libretto and reducing the opera from five acts to four. The popularity of Don Carlo has grown unremittingly ever since, with today's critics almost unanimously recognising it as one of Verdi’s greatest masterpieces, an opera that continues to reveal new gems. Daniel Oren is fully in control on the podium, ensuring unanimity between orchestra and singers. The Maestro softens the dark DON CARLO tones of the score, which are well reflected in the visuals, choosing Dramma lirico in four Acts instead to emphasise the various changes of mood. Composer KEY FEATURES GIUSEPPE VERDI (1813 – 1901) Excellent cast for the opening season of Festival Verdi – Teatro Regio di Parma.
