Turiddu, whose mother Lucia keeps a tavern in their Sicilian village, was engaged to Lola. But when he left to join the army, Lola married the carter Alfio. Returning, --- Turiddu consoled himself by seducing Santuzza, only to abandon her and resume his . "' affair with Lola . As the opera begins, Turiddu is heard offstage singing a nocturnal serenade to Lola. He is supposed to have gone to a nearby town to fetch wine for the tavern, but has taken advantage ofAlfio's absence to spend the night with Lola. It is Easter Sunday. Santuzza comes to the tavern searching for Turiddu. Alfio follows, singing the praises of his itin­ -- - erant work and his faithful wife. The villagers proceed into church for the Easter Mass. Santuzza tells Mamma Lucia about Turiddu's rejection of her. When Turiddu himself appears, she reproaches him again and begs for his love. Lola, on her way to church, pauses to gloat. Turiddu angrily casts Santuzza aside; she curses him, and revenges herself by hinting to Alfio about his affair with Lola. Alfio vows not to pardon them. Leaving church, the villagers mill around the tavern, where Turiddu toasts them with a drinking song. He offers some wine to Alfio, who refuses it and challenges Turiddu to . - ... a duel. Turiddu admits his guilt and says he would gladly die if he were not responsible for Santuzza; bidding his mother farewell, he asks her to take care of the girl. Then he leaves to meet A lfio on the outskirts of the town. Santuzza rushes back and clings to •' ... ... - Mamma Lucia. A woman running on screams out the news: Alfio has killed Turiddu .

    Ottorino Respighi, Musicista Geniale Ed Estroverso a 130 Anni Dalla Nascita

    Ottorino Respighi, musicista geniale ed estroverso a 130 anni dalla nascita. di Giuseppe Testa Ottorino Respighi è, tra i compositori italiani del secolo scorso, quello che trovò diffusione e fama internazionale sin dall’inizio della sua carriera. E’ ricordato soprattutto per i tre poemi sinfonici romani, capolavori della letteratura sinfonica del ‘900 italiano, ma è anche stato un apprezzato musicologo. Respighi nasce a Bologna il 9 luglio 1879, inizia gli studi del pianoforte e del violino con il padre Giuseppe, studi che continua al liceo musicale di Bologna, dove è allievo di F. Sarti per il violino e la viola, C. Dall’Olio per il contrappunto e la fuga, L. Torchi e di G. Martucci per la composizione. E’ proprio Martucci che lo interessa alle forme sinfoniche e cameristiche dei romantici tedeschi, sino ad allora poco praticate in Italia. Si Diploma in violino nel 1899 e in composizione nel 1901 al liceo musicale di Bologna. Subito dopo si trasferisce in Russia dove ricopre il posto di prima viola dell’orchestra del Teatro Imperiale a San Pietroburgo, studiando per cinque mesi con Nikolaj Rimskij-Korsakov con cui può approfondire lo studio della sinfonia e del poema sinfonico, evidenziando la tendenza al descrittivismo e l’abilità nel trattamento dell’orchestra. Nel 1902 è accompagnatore in una scuola di canto a Berlino, dove conosce Ferruccio Busoni ed ha modo di studiare con Max Bruch. Ma la sua attività principale fino al 1908 è quella di violista, solo dopo si dedica alla composizione. Nel 1911 torna in Italia per sostituire il suo maestro L.

    Wuthering Heights Artist Biographies Jesse Blumberg (Mr. Lockwood) Baritone Jesse Blumberg is an artist equally at home on opera, concert, and recital stages. Last season, he performed the role of the Celebrant in Bernstein's Mass at London's Royal Festival Hall under the baton of Marin Alsop, debuted with Boston Lyric Opera as Harlekin in Ariadne auf Naxos, and performed recitals in Paris with the Mirror Visions Ensemble. In 2007, he created the role of Connie Rivers in The Grapes of Wrath (recorded by P.S. Classics) at the Minnesota Opera, and later made his Utah and Pittsburgh Opera debuts in the same production. Other recent appearances include leading and featured roles with Annapolis Opera, Opera Delaware, Opera Vivente and the Boston Early Music Festival. In concert, Jesse has been a featured soloist with American Bach Soloists, Los Angeles Master Chorale, Sacred Music in a Sacred Space and the Berkshire Choral Festival. He has also given the world premieres of two important chamber works: Ricky Ian Gordon's Green Sneakers (recorded by Blue Griffin Recording) and Lisa Bielawa's The Lay of the Love and Death, the former at the Vail Valley Music Festival, and the latter at Alice Tully Hall. He has toured with the Mark Morris Dance Group and the Waverly Consort, and given recitals for the Marilyn Horne Foundation. Last season, he and pianist Martin Katz performed Schubert's two monumental song cycles, Die schöne Müllerin and Winterreise, over one weekend in Ann Arbor, and will soon repeat this pairing in New York City. Jesse has been recognized in many song and opera competitions, and in 2008 was awarded Third Prize at the International Robert Schumann Competition in Zwickau, becoming its first American prizewinner in over thirty years.

    2018 Winter Festival America, Inspiring: Respighi & Prokofiev

    NOTES ON THE PROGRAM BY LAURIE SHULMAN, ©2017 2018 Winter Festival America, Inspiring: Respighi & Prokofiev ONE-MINUTE NOTES Chen Yi: Ge Xu (Antiphony). Chen Yi’s music fuses Chinese traditions with Western forms and instruments. Ge Xu is based on the antiphonal singing with which the Southern Chinese celebrate the Lunar New Year. The piece is about high spirits and hope. PROKOFIEV: Piano Concerto No. 3. Romanticism, classicism and modernism are finely balanced in Prokofiev’s dazzling Third Concerto. The second-movement variations, based on the Baroque gavotte, reveal his quirky melodic gift, while hisbiting humor surfaces in the finale. RESPIGHI: Pines of Rome and Fountains of Rome. Respighi’s famous tone poems are brilliant orchestral evocations of the Eternal City. Fountains evokes the interplay of water and light at various times of day. The more landscape-oriented Pines delves into imagined recollections of Rome’s glory days. The brass in the finale will raise the hairs on the back of your neck! CHEN YI: Ge Xu (Antiphony) CHEN YI Born: April 4, 1953 in Guangzhou, China. Currently resides in Kansas City, Missouri. Composed: 1993–94 World Premiere: January 28, 1995, in San Francisco NJSO Premiere: These are the NJSO premiere performances. Duration: 8 minutes As with other Chinese-American composers, Chen Yi’s life and philosophy were formed by China’s Cultural Revolution. Her parents were both well-to-do physicians with a keen interest in music. Chen studied both violin and piano from age 3. In the late 1960s, she was sent to the Chinese countryside to do forced labor.

    Respighi Ottorino

    RESPIGHI OTTORINO Compositore e strumentista italiano (Bologna 9 VI 1879 - Roma 18 IV 1936) 1 Nato da una famiglia di musicisti (il nonno Tommaso era organista del duomo di Fidenza) fu avviato alla musica dal padre, ottimo pianista e didatta. Iscritto al liceo musicale di Bologna (1891), studiò violino con F. Sarti, diplomandosi nel 1899, e contemporaneamente seguì le lezioni di contrappunto e fuga di C. Dall'Olio e di composizione di L. Torchi e G. Martucci. Nel 1900 fu a Pietroburgo, come orchestrale nella stagione operistica italiana dei teatri imperiali e conobbe Rimskij-Korsakov dal quale ebbe varie lezioni di composizione rimaste essenziali (come dichiarò lo stesso Respighi) per la sua formazione artistica. Tornato a Bologna, si diplomò in composizione nel 1901. L'anno dopo tornò in Russia come prima viola dell'Opera di Pietroburgo e vi rimase nove mesi, prendendo contatto con l'ambiente artistico che faceva capo ad A. Benois (il figlio Nicola sarà poi uno degli scenografi più cari a Respighi). Nel 1903 ritornò in Italia e l'anno dopo fu eseguita dal pianista F. Ivaldi a Bologna, sotto la direzione di B. Mugellini, la sua Fantasia in Sol minore per pianoforte ed orchestra che ottenne notevole successo. Nel 1905 la sua opera Re Enzo fu rappresentata dagli studenti dell'università di Bologna ed in quello stesso anno Respighi entrò come viola nel quintetto Mugellini per il quale compose il Quintetto in Fa. Nel 1908 R. Ferrari diresse al Metropolitan di New York il Notturno per orchestra e A. Nikish, a Berlino, la sua trascrizione per orchestra del Lamento di Arianna di Monteverdi.

    ADRIANO'S CONVERSATIONS WITH ELSA RESPIGHI Adriano with Elsa Respighi (Rome, May 23, 1979) Photo by Reto Gaugenrieder ADRIANO: I had made Elsa Respighi's acquaintance in 1977. This, my greatest friendship, with one of the most interesting women of musical Italy, lasted until Elsa's death in 1996. It embraced considerable correspondence and several personal visits to Elsa's house in Rome, and included an unforgettable Venetian holiday in 1978, preceding the Respighi Centenary for which I had conceived a comprehensive Respighi exhibition. This was held with great success, in conjunction with the International Lucerne Music Festival. Amongst various tape conversations with Elsa, I have transcribed and translated, from the Italian, two of the most important. They offer an interesting insight into a composer of which too little has been written over the fifty years after his death. Only his widow could talk with such authority about him. FIRST CONVERSATION (Rome, September 12th, 1977) ADRIANO: You are extremely busy preparing for the Respighi Centenary to be celebrated in 1979. What will be the most important celebratory events in Italy? ELSA: In Italy, many diverse programs are being prepared, both in the concert and the operatic domains. Casa Ricordi has issued a new catalogue of all available scores that also includes those works edited by other publishers, like Universal, Bote & Bock etc. A: Some of Respighi's operas will also be performed? E: I hope so. There is much interest in La campana sommersa, which has recently been broadcast by RAI. This opera will also find its way to some theatres.
