  • Musica E Fiaba Riflessioni, Percorsi E Proposte Didattiche
    Paola Lenzi Musica e fiaba Riflessioni, percorsi e proposte didattiche Edizioni ETS, Pisa 2004 Panoramica sulle fiabe in musica tra Otto e Novecento Aladino (da Aladino e la lampada meravigliosa) fa parte dei racconti de Le mille e una notte e compare per la prima volta in forma scritta nella traduzione francese dell’orientalista Antoine Galland (1646-1715). Attraverso la versione francese di Galland, la fiaba di Aladino è diventata una delle più famose della raccolta ed è entrata nella cultura narrativa orale di quasi tutto il mondo. Lo scrittore danese Adam Gottlob Oehlen Schläger fece di Aladino il protagonista di una delle sue novelle, inserita nella raccolta Poetiske skifter (1805), trasformandolo in un ragazzo cinese. Uno dei motivi centrali della narrazione è quello della lampada meravigliosa che aiuta il protagonista. La storia, divenuta un tema letterario popolare, ha ispirato anche il teatro, l’opera lirica e più tardi il cinema (del 1942 il film Le mille e una notte di John Rawline, del 1990 Superfantagenio con Bud Spencer e del 1992 il lungometraggio animato Disney Aladdin, con mus. di Alan Menken e Howard Hashman, VHS 1995). Aladino e la lampada magica. Fiaba lirica in 3 atti e 11 quadri, mus. Nino Rota (1911- 1979), libr. Vinci Verginelli. 1ª rappr.: Napoli, Teatro San Carlo, 13-I-1968 (dir. Carlo Franci). La vicenda si svolge in Cina e nel Magreb. Aladdin. Suite op. 34 di Carl Nielsen (1865-1931). CD Decca, 2-VIII-2000; CD Ondine (ODE 894), 16-IX-1997 (dir. L. Segerstan). Albero dei violini accesi.

  • CAST of CHARACTERS ALADDIN JR. Aladdin (Boy): Is the Title Character and Therefore Carries Most of the Show
    CAST OF CHARACTERS ALADDIN JR. Aladdin (boy): is the title character and therefore carries most of the show. He’s charming, a great singer, a great actor, needs versatility to play the funny, slick prankster as well as the “romantic” lead. Genie (boy or girl): is fast-talking, scene-stealing funny man. Not necessarily the strongest singer and dancer, but the ability to do comedy is much more important. Jasmine (girl): is feisty and rebellious, yet genuinely sweet, somewhat trusting. NOT wishy- washy or too much of a brat either. She is the future leader with strong opinions on how things should be done. Strong Singer!! Isir, Manal, and Rajah (girl): are Jasmine’s devoted attendants, keep the Princess grounded with their honesty and openness. Isir, whose name means “inspiration,” is optimistic; Manal, “achievement,” is assertively encouraging; and Rajah, “hope,” is the most protective. Babkak, Omar, and Kassim (boy or girl): are Aladdin’s three loyal and playful pals. Babkak is the Agrabahn foodie who loves to snack, kindhearted Omar has a sensitive soul, and stubborn Kassim yearns to be a leader. Iago (boy or girl): is a comedic role. Like the Genie, he or she doesn’t need to be the strongest singer, but comedic skills are a MUST! Sarcastic jibes and audience asides while staying in character. Jafar’s sidekick. Jafar (boy or girl): is our villain. Possibly a taller boy. He will be a caricature of classic evil villains, not necessarily scary. Iago and Jafar also share some comic moments. Sultan (boy or girl): should be able to play a father figure convincingly.
