Giuseppe Verdi Il Trovatore
GIUSEPPE VERDI IL TROVATORE Una ricchezza sinistra Il trovatore è forse l'opera più cupa e pessimistica di Verdi. Si apre di notte nell'atmosfera minacciosa del palazzo d'Aliaferia, con Ferrando che racconta una storia di tenebre e d'orrore, che non solo ci dà il retroscena per la vicenda che si sta per svolgere, ma funge anche da una specie di introduzione emotiva: anche l'opera, come la narrazione di Ferrando , sarà una tragedia di zingari, di vendetta e di morte. Quasi tutte le scene che seguono hanno luogo di notte o all'interno (o entrambi) e perfino l'apertura della seconda parte - l'accampamento affacendato di zingari, con canti e danze - avviene all'alba, quando le prime fievoli luci del giorno si fondono con quelle ancora vivide dei fuochi del bivacco. Nell'oscurità de Il trovatore, i fuochi sono importanti. La pira due volte preparata per l'esecuzione di Azucena è cruciale ai fini della storia, e ancor più lo è l'altro rogo dove morì sua madre e - come narra in "Condotta ell'era in ceppi" - suo figlio. L'iconografia del libretto di Cammarano, inoltre, è insolitamente ricca di riferimenti a fuoco, fiamme e ardore, sia reali che metaforici. L'iconografia, insieme al vocabolario, donano inoltre all'opera un senso di urgenza. "Corri!", Manrico ordina a Ruiz; e Manrico stesso sembra sempre entrare e uscire precipitosamente, continuamente proteso all'azione. La scena si sposta rapidamente da una parte all'altra della Spagna, perché, come dice Azucena al Conte, "D'una zingara è costume mover senza disegno il passo vagabondo, ed è suo tetto il ciel; sua patria il mondo".

LES VÊPRES SICILIENNES 29 October; 1, 4, 7, 11 November 2013 at 6Pm
Ü 28 OCTOBER 2013 CASTING ANNOUNCEMENT LES VÊPRES SICILIENNES 29 October; 1, 4, 7, 11 November 2013 at 6pm The role of Hélène will now be sung by Armenian soprano Lianna Haroutounian for all remaining performances of Les Vêpres siciliennes. Unfortunately the illness that prevented Marina Poplavskaya from singing the role of Hélène in the premiere of our new production of Les Vêpres siciliennes has persisted longer than expected, and has made it impossible for her to sing the remaining performances. We look forward to welcoming her back to The Royal Opera for further engagements. Lianna Haroutounian also sang the role of Hélène at the premiere of this production on 17 October. She made her debut with The Royal Opera in May 2013 singing Elizabeth of Valois (Don Carlo). Her recent roles have included Desdemona (Otello) for the Opéra-Bastille in Paris, Leonora (Il trovatore) in Marseilles, Leonora (La forza del destino) for Paris Opéra, Amelia (Simon Boccanegra) in Lille, Mimì (La bohème) for the Grand Théâtre in Tours and Amelia (Un ballo in maschera) at the Stadttheater in Bern and the Grand Théâtre in Tours. Her other roles during the 2012–13 season included Elena (I vespri siciliani) at the Megaron Concert Hall, Athens, and in Bilbao and Frankfurt (in the original French version of the opera), and Cio-Cio-San (Madama Butterfly) for Festival de Sanxay. Upcoming engagements include Desdemona for the Teatro di San Carlo, Naples. The rest of the cast remains unchanged with American tenor Bryan Hymel as Henri, German baritone Michael Volle as Guy de Montfort, Uruguayan bass Erwin Schrott as Jean Procida, Jean Teitgen as Le Sire de Béthune, Company Principal British bass Jeremy White as Le Comte de Vaudemont, British tenor Neal Cooper as Thibault, Jette Parker Principal and South Korean bass Jihoon Kim as Robert, South Korean tenor Jung Soo Yun as Mainfroid, For all Royal Opera House press releases visit www.roh.org.uk/press British mezzo-soprano Michelle Daly as Ninetta and Maltese tenor Nicolas Darmanin as Daniéli.

Press Release Philharmonia Records Verdi
Philharmonia Records c/o Opernhaus Zürich Bettina Auge Pressereferentin Falkenstrasse 1 CH-8008 Zürich T + 41 44 268 64 34 [email protected] Zürich, 8. September 2017 Philharmonia Records presents: Giuseppe Verdi – Ouvertures and Preludes Giuseppe Verdi composed over 30 operas, though only about half of them are still regularly staged. For the latest studio recording with the Philharmonia Zürich, Fabio Luisi has cho- sen overtures and preludes from Verdi’s whole creative period. Next to popular masterpieces like the overture to «La forza del destino», the selection ranges from the earliest works by Verdi, which strongly remind of Rossini and Donizetti, over exceptional preludes he wrote for «Macbeth» or «La traviata» for example, to rarely performed overtures such as «I vespri sicil- iani» or «La battaglia di Legnano». A special highlight on this recording is the long version of the overture to «Aida», which is never heard in combination with opera. Furthermore, the ballet music for the French version of «Don Carlos» also found its way onto the album. Thus, the compilation unites pieces that belong to the day-to-day repertoire of the Philharmonia Zurich with those that are also rarities to orchestra musicians. Available worldwide as of now. CD 1 CD 2 1) La forza del destino 1) Luisa Miller 2) Aida 2) La battaglia di Legnano 3) Don Carlos 3) Il corsaro 4) Un ballo in maschera 4) I masnadieri 5) I vespri siciliani 5) Macbeth 6) La traviata 6) Giovanna d’Arco 7) Stiffelio 7) Ernani 8) Jerusalem 9) Nabucco 10) Un giorno di regno 11) Oberto Running time: 127.44 min Please find enclosed your personal review copy.
