Gondek, Chair The fictional women presented to the public on the opera stages and in the noble houses of Italy during the seventeenth century did not resemble the societal feminine ideal of chastity, silence, obedience, and humility; on the contrary, they were strong-willed, eloquent, powerful, and sexually sentient. This dissertation will examine a few of the principal female characters from a selected number of early seventeenth-century operas and explore what these women represented in context of the patriarchal, highly misogynistic societies in which they were constructed. Furthermore, I will consider the implications of this information for issues of modern performance practice, and for the representation of these female characters in modern reproductions of the operas. Finally, I will discuss the influences of this research on my final DMA recital, a program of seventeenth-century arias and songs which personified the female stereotypes presented in this dissertation.

  • The “Sublime Singing” (Gramophone, 2017) of Soprano Miriam Allan
    The “sublime singing” (Gramophone, 2017) of Soprano Miriam Allan has been enjoyed across the world, from her native Australia, through Japan and Singapore, as well as at festivals throughout Europe and North America. During the 2019-20 season she will perform with David Bates’ La Nuova Musica at London’s Wigmore Hall & St John’s Smith Square, reunite with Dunedin Consort for Bach’s St Matthew Passion and sing Monteverdi Vespers and Mozart’s Mass in C Minor at Cadogan Hall. 2019 has, thus far, seen her return to Australia as artist in residence at the Newcastle Music Festival, sing Iphis (Jeptha, Handel) at Trigonale Festival, perform as Emma Kirkby’s guest during the latter’s 70th birthday recital at the Wigmore Hall, and sing Handel & Corelli motets with Les Arts Florissants prior to continuing their cycle of Gesualdo Madrigals. Of her performance as Josabeth (Athalia, Handel, Pinchgut Opera) the Sydney Morning Herald said “Miriam Allan … sang with ravishing sound, limpid elegance and precision, decorating lines with stylish ornamental arabesque.” Other recent performances have seen her debut with Sir Roger Norrington and the London Philharmonic Orchestra (2nd woman, Dido and Aeneas, Purcell) as well as Bach St Matthew Passion at Wigmore Hall with Dunedin Consort and John Butt and her debut with Portland Baroque, performing Messiah. A performance of this same work was “the vocal magic of the night…she took the audience’s breath away.” (Sydney Morning Herald, 2017) Other recent highlights have included Bach cantatas at the BBC Proms, a recital of Dowland lute songs within the enclaves of Windsor Castle and performances with the Queensland Orchestra and Erin Helyard.

This thesis, aimed at performers as well as scholars, begins with a brief consideration of the cultural context of early public opera in Venice and the emergence of the musical language of tonality. It goes on to examine how, in setting Faustini’s text, Cavalli represents desire and sexuality, constructs character, and creates a musical narrative. Cavalli’s implementation of the precepts of the seconda prattica is also considered in terms of textural and rhetorical devices.
