The audience is drawn into this elegant and marvelous world through a witty comedy of errors. The many magical elements in a baroque opera allow the audience to enter into the psychological and romantic ambience of lavish “Fêtes de Court “.

A View of Verona OperAverona site Castelvecchio Viewers in Arena A panoramic view of Arena Opera in Filarmonico Theatre Opera in Arena 5 www.operaverona.eu The building The rehearsals will take place on Operaverona premises (Istituto Don Bosco, Str. A. Provolo 16, Verona – Italia). OperAverona is housed in a large school complex located very near the Arena of Verona, and includes ample rehearsal rooms that are currently used by the musicians of the Fondazione Arena The building has two studio-classrooms equipped with pianos and a concert hall, which also has a piano. Training and the final staging are under the management of OperAverona’s music Board. A week before the debut, OperAverona organizes one or two recitals based on some of the arias of the opera and on the singer’s repertoire. After a series of rehearsals with the orchestra, a concert will be performed. The venue for this is usually the city of Garda, on the Lake Garda. 6 www.operaverona.eu Operaverona’s Opera Studio Usually the OperAverona Event opens with a roster that includes singers from all over the world. In 2011 this opening event will become an international competition. The program opens with a series of events that takes place in the heart of the “fair Verona” - as Shakespeare describe the city – before a public made up of passionate fans and local officials. In the city of Romeo and Juliet, OperAverona stages its music events in some prestigious spots, which are often just a short stroll from the Arena. 7 www.operaverona.eu After the opening, the program continues with the final debut at Garda, a picturesque small town on the shores of Lake Garda, Italy’s largest lake. Garda - a very ancient village which played a prominent role when it was part of the Republic of Venice ( from XV to XVIII century) attracts thousands of tourists every year. The reason for choosing Garda stems from the words of a great writer: “I could have been in Verona already this evening, but I was so close to a magnificent product of Nature, a splendid view, the lake of Garda, and I didn’t want to miss it and I have been recompensed for my detour.” The famous German writer, Goethe, wrote this note in his journal on the 12th of September 1786. Throughout the Summer, the schedule of events at Garda are followed by the public and press, like the OperAverona Events. 8 www.operaverona.eu The events already realized All performances produced by OperAverona have been sponsored by local institutions such as the Assessorato alla Cultura of the Province of Verona (the culture councillorship of the Province) and by the board of “Provincia in Festival”, a festival organized in collaboration with the Opera Academy of Verona.

  • Eröffnungsvortrag: Haydns Opern in Ihrer Zeit Und Heute
    ZOBODAT - www.zobodat.at Zoologisch-Botanische Datenbank/Zoological-Botanical Database Digitale Literatur/Digital Literature Zeitschrift/Journal: Wissenschaftliche Arbeiten aus dem Burgenland Jahr/Year: 1992 Band/Volume: 090 Autor(en)/Author(s): Feder Georg Artikel/Article: Haydns Opern in ihrer Zeit und heute. 9-20 Eröffnungsvortrag:© Landesmuseum für Burgenland, Austria, download unter www.biologiezentrum.at Haydns Opern in ihrer Zeit und heute Georg FEDER, Köln “Joseph Haydn und die Oper seiner Zeit” so lautet das Thema unseres Symposions. Haydns Opern in ihrer Zeit und heute sind das Thema dieses ersten Vortrages. Mit ihm möchte ich versuchen, einen kurzen Überblick über Haydns Opernschaffen zu geben, einerseits in historischer Hinsicht, andererseits in Betrachtung der neueren Entwicklungen. Haydns Opernschaffen ist nach den Forschungen und Veröffentlichungen der letzten Jahrzehnte gut überschaubar; Umfang, Gliederung und zeitlicher Verlauf dieses Schaffens lassen sich mit klaren Linien skizzieren. (Vgl. die Tabelle.) Es erstreckte sich über einen Zeitraum von vier Jahrzehnten: von 1751/52 bis 1791. Schauplätze der Uraufführungen waren zuerst Wien, dann Eisenstadt und Esz­ terhäza. Die letzte Oper entstand in London. Den Werkgattungen nach gliedert sich Haydns Opernschaffen in die Gruppe der deutschen Singspiele, mit gespro­ chenen Dialogen, meist in der Sonderform der Marionettenoper, wobei unter lauter heiteren Singspielen ein ernstes vorkommt, und in die Gruppe der italie­ nischen Opern. Zu letzteren gehört zunächst die bei Haydn bald als Opera seria, bald als Dramma eroico oder Dramma per musica bezeichnete ernste Oper, die in kleinerer Form Festa teatrale oder Azione teatrale heißt. Daneben steht die heitere Oper, als Commedia, als Intermezzo, Opera buffa oder Burletta, einmal auch als Dramma giocoso per musica bezeichnet.

  • La Cultura Italiana
    LA CULTURA ITALIANA FEDERICO FELLINI (1920-1993) This month’s essay continues a theme that several prior essays discussed concerning fa- mous Italian film directors of the post-World War II era. We earlier discussed Neorealism as the film genre of these directors. The director we are considering in this essay both worked in that genre and carried it beyond its limits to develop an approach that moved Neoreal- ism to a new level. Over the decades of the latter-half of the 20th century, his films became increasingly original and subjective, and consequently more controversial and less commercial. His style evolved from Neorealism to fanciful Neorealism to surrealism, in which he discarded narrative story lines for free-flowing, free-wheeling memoirs. Throughout his career, he focused on his per- sonal vision of society and his preoccupation with the relationships between men and women and between sex and love. An avowed anticleric, he was also deeply concerned with personal guilt and alienation. His films are spiced with artifice (masks, masquerades and circuses), startling faces, the rococo and the outlandish, the prisms through which he sometimes viewed life. But as Vincent Canby, the chief film critic of The New York Times, observed in 1985: “What’s important are not the prisms, though they are arresting, but the world he shows us: a place whose spectacularly grand, studio-built artificiality makes us see the interior truth of what is taken to be the ‘real’ world outside, which is a circus.” In addition to his achievements in this regard, we are also con- sidering him because of the 100th anniversary of his birth.

  • Georg Solti (1)
    ___________________________________________________________________________ SWR2 Musikstunde 10.9.2012 Der legendäre Dirigentenjahrgang 1912 (1) Mit Rainer Damm Georg Solti (1) Kaum ein Dirigent von Weltrang kann auf ein vergleichbar bewegtes Leben zurückblicken wie der 1912 in Budapest als György Stern geborene Georg oder George Solti, den Königin Elisabeth 1971 seiner beispiellosen Verdienste um das britische Musikleben wegen mit dem Adelstitel Sir auszeichnete. Schon als dreizehnjähriger trat der mit dem absoluten Gehör gesegnete Sohn aus bescheidenen Verhältnissen in das Budapester Konservatorium ein. Dort prägten ihn Begegnungen mit Bela Bartok, Ernst von Dohnanyi, Leo Weiner und Zoltan Kodaly. Aber schon 1939 musste er wegen der einsetzenden Juden - Pogrome in die Schweiz fliehen. Den verwegensten Spät - Senkrechtstarter der neueren Interpretationsgeschichte beriefen die Amerikaner 1946 als Generalmusikdirektor der Bayerischen Staatsoper nach München, derweil die renommierten Pultheroen auf den Ausgang ihrer Entnazifizierungsprozesse warteten. Gleich, ob in München oder später in Frankfurt oder London: Immer wieder bescherte Solti seinem Publikum Sternstunden der Oper. Erst in reiferen Jahren entdeckte Solti seine Neigung für die Symphonik. Rund zwanzig Jahre lang blieb er künstlerischer Leiter des Chicago Symphony Orchestra. Aufbauend auf der Vorarbeit seines ungarischen Landsmannes Fritz Reiner machte er es zu einem der besten Orchester der Welt. _____________________________________________________________ CD Decca 410 116 - 2 track 1 ab 7‘32 (Horn) = 4‘10 _____________________________________________________________ Das Finale des 1. Satzes von Antonin Dvoraks Sinfonie Nr. 9 op. 95 Aus der Neuen Welt mit dem Chicago Symphony Orchestra unter der Leitung des damals 70jährigen Georg Solti, aufgenommen 1983. Das Orchester aus Chicago, im Branchenjargon The Machine genannt, entsprach in idealer Weise Soltis Wunsch nach unbedingter Präzision und schneidender Wucht des Klanges, insbesondere der Blechbläser.
