Comunicato Stampa COMUNICATO STAMPA I Shardana di Ennio Porrino, inno nuragico di pace e libertà, in un nuovo, maestoso, allestimento del Teatro Lirico di Cagliari Dopo la pausa estiva, la Stagione lirica e di balletto 2013 riprende, venerdì 20 settembre alle 20.30 (turno A), con il quarto appuntamento: I Shardana - Gli uomini dei Nuraghi, il dramma musicale in tre atti di Ennio Porrino (Cagliari, 20 gennaio 1910 - Roma, 25 settembre 1959), su libretto proprio, che ritorna al Teatro Lirico di Cagliari ad appena tre anni dalla sua ultima esecuzione, ma, questa volta, in una nuova, maestosa, forma scenica. Infatti il giovane regista torinese Davide Livermore, che debutta al Teatro Lirico di Cagliari, insieme alle scenografie di GIÒ FORMA production design, al videodesign di D-wok, al costumista cagliaritano Marco Nateri ed alle luci di Loïc Hamelin, firmano un nuovo e monumentale allestimento scenico, dai colori primitivi e naturali, in un’atmosfera nuragica, sicuramente unica e magica. La direzione musicale è, invece, affidata ad Anthony Bramall, apprezzato direttore d’orchestra inglese ed abituale presenza nelle stagioni musicali cagliaritane, che dirige l’Orchestra e il Coro del Teatro Lirico. Il maestro del coro è Marco Faelli. Protagonisti dell’opera sono giovani ed, in alcuni casi, affermati cantanti che si alternano nelle recite quali: Manrico Signorini (20, 24, 27)/Nicolò Ceriani (22, 26, 28) (Gonnario), Angelo Villari (20, 24, 27)/Sebastian Ferrada (22, 26, 28) (Torbeno), Gianpiero Ruggeri (20, 22, 24, 27)/Alessandro Senes (26, 28) (Orzocco), Domenico Balzani (20, 22, 24, 27)/Nicola Ebau (26, 28) (Norace), Paoletta Marrocu (20, 24, 27)/Rossana Cardia (22, 28)/Nila Masala (26) (Bèrbera Jonia), Alessandra Palomba (Nibatta), Gabriele Mangione (20, 22, 24, 27)/Moreno Patteri (26, 28) (Perdu), Nicola Ravarino Guagenti (Un guerriero, Una voce), Enrico Zara (Un altro guerriero, Un pastore sardo, La vedetta), Vittoria Lai (Prima dolorante), Francesca Pierpaoli (Seconda dolorante), Caterina D’Angelo (Terza dolorante). Lo spettacolo prevede anche la partecipazione straordinaria di Elena Ledda, impegnata in un prezioso cameo vocale. L’allestimento dell’opera nasce grazie ad una stretta coesione fra Regione Autonoma della Sardegna, Comune di Cagliari e Teatro Lirico di Cagliari che, attraverso la musica di Ennio Porrino, intendono sottolineare il patrimonio culturale e musicale della Sardegna, valorizzare le molteplici risorse professionali presenti nel territorio regionale, la cui creatività artistica cercherà di coniugare tradizione ed innovazione, e promuovere, attraverso incubatori d’impresa, nuovi talenti, vera e propria espressione della vivacità culturale isolana. A questo proposito sono stati selezionati 12 mimi e danzatori che hanno un ruolo fondamentale nella rappresentazione dell’opera e 12 assistenti, equamente divisi tra direzione d’orchestra, regìa e coreografia, scene e videoproiezioni, costumi, che seguono le prove fin dal loro inizio e collaborano fattivamente con gli artisti realizzatori. Ci pare opportuno riproporre, dopo così tanti anni, quest’opera, perché rilegge la storia del popolo sardo, scava nelle sue radici e nella unicità delle sue tradizioni, mettendo in musica un’epica misconosciuta. L’obiettivo sposa già l’idea originaria di Porrino: rileggere e difendere l’identità della Sardegna, ritradurre musicalmente l’epos di un popolo e le sue tradizioni antichissime che, per un strano gioco di “immanenza della storia” riescono a sopravvivere inalterate nel nostro presente. È un altrove metastorico, quello pensato da Davide Livermore, come sfondo alla messa in scena, che non trascura nessun elemento, fino alla contemporaneità affidata al passaggio in scena di Elena Ledda, alter ego temporale della eroina Nibatta. Ufficio Stampa via Sant’Alenixedda, 09128 Cagliari - Italia telefono +39 0704082 232-261-209 - fax +39 0704082216 [email protected] www.teatroliricodicagliari.it La scommessa è posta dalla qualità unica di un allestimento maestoso e modernissimo, tutto realizzato all’interno del Teatro Lirico, che coniuga filologia e invenzione scenica, tramature antichissime, spesso affidate alla oralità della trasmissione, a effetti tridimensionali in mapping digitale. (Marcella Crivellenti, sovrintendente del Teatro Lirico di Cagliari) Rappresentata per la prima volta al Teatro di San Carlo di Napoli il 21 marzo 1959, per la direzione dello stesso Porrino, riscuote da subito grande successo di pubblico e di critica che, tra l’altro, riconosce al compositore l’abilità nel fondere la melodia classica con la matrice musicale sarda. Il 18 marzo 1960 I Shardana viene rappresentata al Teatro Massimo di Cagliari (interpreti Carlo Cava, Gastone Limarilli, Walter Monachesi, Luisa Malagrida, Oralia Dominguez; direttore Armando La Rosa Parodi; regia Marcella Govoni), in occasione della commemorazione del compositore recentemente scomparso. «[...] Molti, con l’idea di un’arte aristocratica, sembra dimentichino l’umanità e, con un senso inopportuno di disinteresse, disprezzano la massa. Per me invece, lo scopo vero dell’arte, e soprattutto del teatro, è quello di andare verso il pubblico, conquistarlo e trarlo verso il nostro ideale, verso sentimenti veramente aristocratici. Io credo che oggi più che mai e per ragioni sociali e per una concezione più vasta della vita, si debba fare il vero teatro, il grande teatro, anche se non di masse, per le masse. [...]» (da: lettera di Ennio Porrino a Claudio Guastalla, in “Epistolario Porrino”, 1934/1935 circa) L’opera, della durata di due ore e venti minuti circa compreso un intervallo, viene proposta, come ormai tradizione al Teatro Lirico di Cagliari, con l’ausilio dei sopratitoli che, scorrendo sull’arco scenico del boccascena, favoriscono la comprensione del libretto. I Shardana viene replicata: domenica 22 settembre alle 17 (turno D); martedì 24 settembre alle 20.30 (turno B); giovedì 26 settembre alle 20.30 (turno F); venerdì 27 settembre alle 20.30 (turno C); sabato 28 settembre alle 19 (turno G). Sono in vendita i nuovi abbonamenti per la seconda parte della Stagione lirica e di balletto 2013 del Teatro Lirico di Cagliari che prevede sei turni di abbonamento, per quattro titoli ciascuno (i tre allestimenti lirici più il balletto: I Shardana, Così fan tutte, Pagliacci, Red Giselle).

  • MARIO DEL MONACO Mario Del Monaco Belongs
    MARIO DEL MONACONACO – A CRITICAL APPROACH BY DANIELE GODOR, XII 2009 INTRODUCTION Mario del Monaco belongselongs to a group of singers whoho aare sacrosanct to many opera listeners.listene Too impressive are the existingexisti documents of his interpretationsations of Otello (no other tenor hasas momore recordings of the role of Otello than Del Monaco who claimed to haveha sung to role 427 times1), Radamdames, Cavaradossi, Samson, Don Josésé and so on. His technique is seenn as the non-plus-ultra by many singersgers aand fans: almost indefatigable – comparable to Lauritz Melchiorlchior in this regard –, with a solid twoo octaveocta register and capable of produciroducing beautiful, virile and ringing sound of great volume. His most importmportant teacher, Arturo Melocchi,, finallyfina became famous throughh DDel Monaco’s fame, and a new schoolscho was born: the so-called Melocchialocchians worked with the techniqueique of Melocchi and the bonus of the mostm well-established exponent of his technique – Mario del Monaco.naco. Del Monaco, the “Otello of the century”” and “the Verdi tenor” (Giancarlo del Monaco)2 is – as tthese attributes suggest – a singer almost above reproach and those critics, who pointed out someme of his shortcomings, were few. In the New York Times, the famous critic Olin Downes dubbed del MonacoM “the tenor of tenors” after del Monacoonaco’s debut as Andrea Chenier in New York.3 Forr manmany tenors, del Monaco was the great idoll and founder of a new tradition: On his CD issued by the Legato label, Lando Bartolini claims to bee a sinsinger “in the tradition of del Monaco”, and even Fabioabio ArmilA iato, who has a totally different type of voice,voi enjoys when his singing is put down to the “tradititradition of del Monaco”.4 Rodolfo Celletti however,wever, and in spite of his praise for Del Monaco’s “oddodd elelectrifying bit of phrasing”, recognized in DelDel MMonaco one of the 1 Chronologies suggest a much lower amount of performances.

The further we get from the era of production (in many cases now 100 years or more), the more difficult it is to find such excellent extant pressings.

A number of items in this particular catalogue are excellent pressings from that era. Also featured are many “Z” shellac Victors, their best quality surface material (later 1930s) and PW (Pre-War) Victor, almost as good surface material as “Z”. Likewise laminated Columbia pressings (1923- 1940) offer particularly fine sound. * * * Please keep in mind that the minimum bids are in U.S. Dollars, a benefit to most collectors. * * * “Text label on verso.” For a brief period (1912-‘14), Victor pressed silver-on-black labels on the reverse sides of some of their single-faced recordings, usually featuring translations of the text or similarly related comments.

U. de A. ;Lease Cuidadosamente la Introduccion! DISCOS VICTOR ESTE catalogo de discos es el primer catalogo completo que ha sido pu- blicado por la Compania Victor desde los extraordinarios descubrimientos cientincos que han traido la produccion de los Nuevos DISCOS VICTOR (Impresion Ortofonica) AUNQUE actualmente usamos unicamente el proceso electrico en la im­ presion de la musica, hemos retenido en este catalogo una gran cantidad de discos grabados por el sistema antiguo de mera aciistica, incluyendo todos los Discos de Sello Rojo que aparecieron en la edicion anterior del catalogo. Estos discos antiguos continuan recibiendo el favor de millones de favorece- dores, que no nos permitiran echarlos al olvido. Ciertos discos—los de Caruso por ejemplo—grabados por el antiguo procedimiento, son monu- mentos en la historia de la musica que no pueden ser reemplazados. Con el fin de distinguir los discos de nueva impresion de los antiguos. cada disco Victor de impresion antigua esta marcado en el catalogo con un aste- risco. * Se notara que este catalogo esta arreglado alfabeticamente y es interesante saber que la idea de un catalogo de discos en orden estrictamente alfabetico tuvo origen con la Victor Talking Machine Company, estableciendo asi un nuevo sistema en pubhcaciones de esta clase.

  • VOCAL 78 Rpm Discs Minimum Bid As Indicated Per Item
    VOCAL 78 rpm Discs Minimum bid as indicated per item. Listings “Just about 1-2” should be considered as mint and “Cons. 2” with just slight marks. For collectors searching top copies, you’ve come to the right place! The further we get from the era of production (in many cases now 100 years or more), the more difficult it is to find such excellent extant pressings. Some are actually from mint dealer stocks and others the result of having improved copies via dozens of collections purchased over the past fifty years. * * * For those looking for the best sound via modern reproduction, those items marked “late” are usually of high quality shellac, pressed in the 1950-55 period. A number of items in this particular catalogue are excellent pressings from that era. Also featured are many “Z” shellac Victors, their best quality surface material (later 1930s). * * * Please keep in mind that the minimum bids are in U.S. Dollars, a benefit to most collectors. * * * “Text label on verso.” For a brief period (1912-‘14), Victor pressed silver-on-black labels on the reverse sides of some of their single-faced recordings, usually featuring translations of the text or similarly related comments. BESSIE ABOTT [s]. Riverdale, NY, 1878-New York, 1919. Following the death of her father which left her family penniless, Bessie and her sister Jessie (born Pickens) formed a vaudeville sister vocal act, accompanying themselves on banjo and guitar. Upon the recommend- dation of Jean de Reszke, who heard them by chance, Bessie began operatic training with Frida Ashforth.
