Il gran pontefice Zaccaria rincuora la sua gente. In mano ebrea è tenuta come ostaggio la figlia di Nabucco, Fenena, la cui custodia Zaccaria affida a Ismaele, nipote del re di Gerusalemme.

Anch’essa è innamorata di Ismaele e minaccia Fenena di riferire al padre che ella ha tentato di fuggire con uno stra- niero; infine si dichiara disposta a tacere a patto che Ismaele rinunci alla giovane.

    VIVA VERDI a Small Tribute to a Great Man, Composer, Italian

    VIVA VERDI A small tribute to a great man, composer, Italian. Giuseppe Verdi • What do you know about Giuseppe Verdi? What does modern Western society offer everyday about him and his works? Plenty more than you would think. • Commercials with his most famous arias, such as “La donna e` nobile”, from Rigoletto, are invading the air time of television… • Movies and cartoons have also plenty of his arias… What about stamps from all over the world carrying his image? • There are hundreds of them…. and coins and medals… …and banknotes? Well, those only in Italy, that I know of…. Statues of him are all over the world… ….and we have Verdi Squares and Verdi Streets And let’s not forget the many theaters with his name… His operas even became comic books… • Well, he was a famous composer… but it’s that the only reason? Let’s look into that… Giuseppe Fortunino Francesco Verdi Born Joseph Fortunin François Verdi on October 10, 1813 in a village near Busseto, in Emilia Romagna, at the time part of the First French Empire. He was therefore born French! Giuseppe Verdi He was refused admission by the Conservatory of Milan because he did not have enough talent… …that Conservatory now carries his name. In Busseto, Verdi met Antonio Barezzi, a local merchant and music lover, who became his patron, financed some of his studies and helped him throughout the dark years… Thanks to Barezzi, Verdi went to Milano to take private lessons. He then returned to his town, where he became the town music master.

  • Richard Strauss's Ariadne Auf Naxos

    Richard Strauss's Ariadne Auf Naxos

    Richard Strauss’s Ariadne auf Naxos - A survey of the major recordings by Ralph Moore Ariadne auf Naxos is less frequently encountered on stage than Der Rosenkavalier or Salome, but it is something of favourite among those who fancy themselves connoisseurs, insofar as its plot revolves around a conceit typical of Hofmannsthal’s libretti, whereby two worlds clash: the merits of populist entertainment, personified by characters from the burlesque Commedia dell’arte tradition enacting Viennese operetta, are uneasily juxtaposed with the claims of high art to elevate and refine the observer as embodied in the opera seria to be performed by another company of singers, its plot derived from classical myth. The tale of Ariadne’s desertion by Theseus is performed in the second half of the evening and is in effect an opera within an opera. The fun starts when the major-domo conveys the instructions from “the richest man in Vienna” that in order to save time and avoid delaying the fireworks, both entertainments must be performed simultaneously. Both genres are parodied and a further contrast is made between Zerbinetta’s pragmatic attitude towards love and life and Ariadne’s morbid, death-oriented idealism – “Todgeweihtes Herz!”, Tristan und Isolde-style. Strauss’ scoring is interesting and innovative; the orchestra numbers only forty or so players: strings and brass are reduced to chamber-music scale and the orchestration heavily weighted towards woodwind and percussion, with the result that it is far less grand and Romantic in scale than is usual in Strauss and a peculiarly spare ad spiky mood frequently prevails.

    Guillaume Tell ROSSINI in WILDBAD Belcanto Opera Festival Zum Opernfestival „Rossini in Wildbad“ heiße ich als Schirmherr alle Besuche- rinnen und Besucher herzlich in der Schwarzwälder Thermal-Kurstadt Bad Wild- bad im Enztal willkommen. 2013 feiert die national und international renom- mierte Veranstaltung ihr 25. Jubiläum - hierzu gratuliere ich allen Beteiligten sehr herzlich. In den vergangenen Jahren hat sich das Belcanto Opera Festival „Rossini in Wildbad“ zu einem kulturellen Aushängeschild entwickelt, dessen Ruf weit über die Region und das Land hinausstrahlt. Insbesondere in Fachkreisen wird es als Kleinod geschätzt, das mit großem Erfolg verheißungsvollen Nachwuchskünstle- rinnen und -künstlern im Belcanto-Stil eine breite Bühne bietet. Zur Feier des 25-jährigen Bestehens der Festspiele haben die Verantwortlichen und Organisatoren einen ganz besonderen Programm schwerpunkt gewählt: Gioachino Rossinis Freiheitsoper „Wilhelm Tell“ soll erstmals ohne jegliche Kür- zung aufgeführt werden. Ich bin sicher, dass die Aufführung von Rossinis letzter geschriebener Oper dem Jubiläum einen besonderen Glanz verleihen und weit über Baden-Württemberg hinaus Beachtung finden wird. Das Opernfestival „Rossini in Wildbad“ zeigt: Baden-Württembergs Kulturland- schaft überzeugt durch Qualität und Vielfalt. Es ist die Summe der zahlreichen und vielfältigen Veranstaltungen in den Städten und Gemeinden, die Baden- Württembergs Ruf als Kultur- und Kunstland im In- und Ausland mehren. Gerade auch die Rossini-Festspiele stellen - obgleich eines der kleinsten internationalen Opernfestivals - seit nunmehr einem Vierteljahrhundert ebenso eindrucksvoll wie erfolgreich unter Beweis, dass nicht nur die großen Metropolen im Land hervorragende Kulturarbeit leisten. Auch die Regionen ermöglichen Musikerleb- nisse auf allerhöchstem künstlerischem Niveau. Zum besonderen Flair und der hohen Attraktivität dieses Festivals trägt neben den herausragenden Künstlerin- nen und Künstlern auch der Umstand bei, dass Gioachino Rossini einst selbst als Gast im Kurort Wildbad weilt.

L’anno 2013, ricorrenza del secondo centenario della nascita di Giuseppe Verdi, è dichiarato «anno verdiano»”. L’ anno verdiano, che stiamo vivendo, è quindi un’occasione imperdibile per far conoscere Giuseppe Verdi alle nuove generazioni. Non solo l’Italia, ma il mondo intero è impegnato a rendere omaggio al genio di Busseto, ad uno dei più illustri italiani. Il Rigoletto, la Traviata, il Trovatore, il Nabucco, il Macbeth, l’Aida, il Don Carlo, l’Otello sono opere che i teatri lirici di tutto il mondo ospitano ed anelano ad avere nelle loro programmazioni.
