  • Karel Burian – the Guest of Budapest (1913–1924)
    100 Ferenc János Szabó Institute of Musicology, Research Centre for the Humanities Hungarian Academy of Sciences, Budapest Karel Burian – the Guest of Budapest (1913–1924) Abstract | In the present article the last third of Karel Burian’s career is discussed, not only because it is perhaps a less known period of Burian’s biography, but also because it is close- ly connected with Hungarian culture. In these years he appeared in Budapest as a regular guest of the Royal Hungarian Opera mainly as a Wagner singer but also in French, Italian and Hungarian operas, and celebrated his thirty-year jubilee as an opera singer also in Bu- dapest. After a chronological overview, certain special aspects of Burian’s Hungarian activity are examined, e. g. his Hungarian naturalization (the so called ‘Hungarian divorce’) and the political context of his appearances at the end of the First World War. Keywords | Karel Burian – First World War – Hungarian divorce – Hungary – Naturalization – Opera, Scandals – Richard Wagner 1 Introduction1 Even today, the name of the Czech Heldentenor Karel Burian sounds familiar not only in his na- tive land, but also among the opera lovers in Hungary. Despite the fact that it was required to sing in Hungarian on the stage of the Royal Hungarian Opera, the most successful Wagner tenor of the fi rst quarter of the 20th century in Budapest was a foreign singer: Karel Burian. In the present article I discuss the last ten years of his career, not only because it is perhaps a less known period of Burian’s biography, but also because it is closely connected with Hungarian musical culture.

  • 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.

  • April 1 & 3, 2021 Walt Disney Theater
    April 1 & 3, 2021 Walt Disney Theater FAIRWINDS GROWS MY MONEY SO I CAN GROW MY BUSINESS. Get the freedom to go further. Insured by NCUA. OPERA-2646-02/092719 Opera Orlando’s Carmen On the MainStage at Dr. Phillips Center | April 2021 Dear friends, Carmen is finally here! Although many plans have changed over the course of the past year, we have always had our sights set on Carmen, not just because of its incredible music and compelling story but more because of the unique setting and concept of this production in particular - 1960s Haiti. So why transport Carmen and her friends from 1820s Seville to 1960s Haiti? Well, it all just seemed to make sense, for Orando, that is. We have a vibrant and growing Haitian-American community in Central Florida, and Creole is actually the third most commonly spoken language in the state of Florida. Given that Creole derives from French, and given the African- Carribean influences already present in Carmen, setting Carmen in Haiti was a natural fit and a great way for us to celebrate Haitian culture and influence in our own community. We were excited to partner with the Greater Haitian American Chamber of Commerce for this production and connect with Haitian-American artists, choreographers, and academics. Since Carmen is a tale of survival against all odds, we wanted to find a particularly tumultuous time in Haiti’s history to make things extra difficult for our heroine, and setting the work in the 1960s under the despotic rule of Francois Duvalier (aka Papa Doc) certainly raised the stakes.

  • Musicien. 1 PRÉSENTATION
    Offenbach, Jacques - musicien. 1 PRÉSENTATION Offenbach, Jacques (1819-1880), violoncelliste et compositeur allemand, naturalisé français (1860), considéré comme le fondateur de l’opérette. Né à Cologne, dans la famille d’un cantor de synagogue et violoniste, Jacques (en réalité Jakob) Offenbach étudie le violon, puis le violoncelle dès l'âge de neuf ans. En 1833, son père l’amène à Paris et réussit à le faire admettre au Conservatoire, malgré ses origines étrangères. Il n’y reste qu’un an, devient violoncelliste à l'orchestre de l'Opéra-Comique, qu’il quitte dès 1835 pour une carrière soliste de musique de chambre. En 1850, il est appelé à diriger la musique à la Comédie-Française. Compositeur depuis l’enfance, il a pris quelques leçons avec Jacques Halévy en 1835, et livré régulièrement des mélodies ou pièces courtes comme l’Alcôve qui remporte, en 1847, un grand succès. Il espère être joué à l’Opéra-Comique. 2 LA GRANDE PÉRIODE CRÉATRICE En attendant, il fonde en 1855 son propre théâtre, les Bouffes-Parisiens, et rencontre le succès dès le premier spectacle, grâce aux Deux aveugles. Directeur jusqu’en 1861, compositeur, chef d’orchestre, metteur en scène, il livre continûment, sur des livrets de Ludovic Halévy, auquel se joint ensuite Henri Meilhac, des ouvrages nouveaux, parmi lesquels Orphée aux enfers (1858), la Chanson de Fortunio (1861), la Belle Hélène (1864), Barbe-Bleue (1866), la Vie parisienne (1866), la Grande- Duchesse de Gérolstein (1867), la Périchole (1868). Il triomphe aussi à l’étranger, surtout à Vienne. Après la chute du Second Empire, bien que la faveur du public soit moindre en raison de l’évolution du goût et de la présence de nouveaux auteurs comme Charles Lecocq, elle se maintient toutefois, tant lors de reprises, comme la Belle Hélène en 1876, que pour des créations comme Madame Favart ou la Fille du Tambour-major (1879), mais n’empêche pas la faillite, en 1875, de son théâtre de la Gaîté-Lyrique, fondé en 1873.

    DELIUS BOOKLET:bob.qxd 14/4/08 16:09 Page 1 second piece, Summer Night on the River, is equally evocative, this time suggested by the river Loing that lay at the the story of a voodoo prince sold into slavery, based on an episode in the novel The Grandissimes by the American bottom of Delius’s garden near Fontainebleau, the kind of scene that might have been painted by some of the French writer George Washington Cable. The wedding dance La Calinda was originally a dance of some violence, leading to painters that were his contemporaries. hysteria and therefore banned. In the Florida Suite and again in Koanga it lacks anything of its original character. The opera Irmelin, written between 1890 and 1892, and the first attempt by Delius at the form, had no staged Koanga, a lyric drama in a prologue and three acts, was first heard in an incomplete concert performance at St performance until 1953, when Beecham arranged its production in Oxford. The libretto, by Delius himself, deals with James’s Hall in 1899. It was first staged at Elberfeld in 1904. With a libretto by Delius and Charles F. Keary, the plot The Best of two elements, Princess Irmelin and her suitors, none of whom please her, and the swine-herd who eventually wins is set on an eighteenth century Louisiana plantation, where the slave-girl Palmyra is the object of the attentions of her heart. The Prelude, designed as an entr’acte for the later opera Koanga, makes use of four themes from Irmelin.

  • 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.).
