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. Questi, tuttavia, promette alla giovane di restituirle la libertà, perché un giorno a Babilonia egli stesso, prigioniero, era stato liberato da Fe- nena. I due innamorati stanno organizzando la fuga, quando giunge nel tempio Abigaille, supposta figlia di Nabucco, a comando di una schiera di Babilonesi. 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.

  • Spring 2008-Final
    Wagneriana Endloser Grimm! Ewiger Gram! Spring 2008 Der Traurigste bin ich von Allen! Volume 5, Number 2 —Die Walküre From the Editor ven though the much-awaited concert of the Wagner/Liszt piano transcriptions was canceled due to un- avoidable circumstances (the musicians were unable to obtain a visa), the winter and early spring months E brought several stimulating events. On January 19, Vice President Erika Reitshamer gave an audiovisual presentation on Wagner’s early opera Das Liebesverbot. This well-attended event was augmented by photocopies of extended excerpts from the libretto, with frequently amusing commentary by the presenter on Wagner’s influences and foreshadowings of his future operas. February 23 brought the excellent talk by Professor Hans Rudolf Vaget of Smith College. Professor Vaget spoke about Wagner’s English biographer Ernest Newman, whose seminal four-volume book The Life of Richard Wagner has never been surpassed in its thoroughness. In the early part of the twentieth century, the music critic Newman served as a counterbalance to his fellow countryman Houston Stewart Chamberlain, Wagner’s son-in-law and an ardent Nazi. The talk also included aspects of Thomas Mann’s fictional writings on Wagner, as well as the philoso- pher and musician Theodor Adorno and Wagner’s other son-in-law Franz Beidler. On April 19 we learned the extent of Buddhism’s influence on Wagner’s operas thanks to a lecture and book signing by Paul Schofield, author of The Redeemer Reborn: Parsifal as the Fifth Opera of Wagner’s Ring. The audience members were so interested in what Mr.

  • Una Fonte Ignorata Del Don Pasquale Di Gaetano Donizetti
    Italogramma, Vol. 4 (2012) http://italogramma.elte.hu „sul fil di ragno della memoria” Gerardo Guccini INTORNO ALLO SCHIAFFO DI NORINA: UNA FONTE IGNORATA DEL DON PASQUALE DI GAETANO DONIZETTI Verso la fine del settembre del 1842, Donizetti, appena giunto a Parigi, ricevette dal direttore del Théâtre-Italien, l’influentissimo Jules Janin, uno schema di contratto composto di sette articoli. Il documento non faceva menzione al titolo e all’argomento dell’opera, ma specificava che avrebbe dovuto essere un’opera buffa e che i suoi interpreti sareb- bero stati la Grisi, Mario, Lablache e Tamburini. Si trattava di cantanti ben noti al compositore. Il suo sodalizio con Lablache e Tamburini durava da più vent’anni, quello con Giulia Grisi da più di dieci, e solo per il tenore Mario non aveva scritto alcuna parte. È probabile che alla firma del contratto (datato 27 settembre 1842) Donizetti, che era uso riferire il processo compositivo alle qualità vocali e recitative dei cantanti, avesse già individuato un argomento adatto allo straordina- rio ensemble nel Ser Marc’Antonio (1810) di Stefano Pavesi su libretto di Angelo Anelli. Proprio in quel periodo, il 28 agosto 1842, la popo- lare opera buffa era stata infatti ripresa al Kärntnertortheater. Wil- liam Ashbrook, nella fondamentale biografia donizettiana, osserva che “benché Donizetti avesse lasciato Vienna circa due mesi prima di questa riesumazione, quasi certamente sapeva che doveva avere luogo e ciò potrebbe avergli suggerito di usare il libretto di Anelli come pun- to di partenza di una propria opera buffa” (Donizetti. La vita, Torino, EDT/Musica, 1986, p. 247 n.).
