  • La Scala Di Seta
    GIOACCHINO ROSSINI LA SCALA DI SETA Farsa comica in un atto Prima rappresentazione: Venezia, Teatro San Moisè, 9 V 1812 Curioso destino quella della Scala di seta: appartenente alla prima avventurosa e sfolgorante stagione rossiniana, a quell'anno 1812 che vide la messa in scena del dramma Ciro in Babilonia e la composizione di ben cinque opere comiche (fu infatti preceduta da L'inganno felice e seguita dalla ben più fortunata Pietra del paragone, da L'occasione fa il ladro e da Il signor Bruschino, quest'ultima rappresentata nel gennaio dell'anno successivo), essa sembra destinata, nelle biografie rossiniane, a mimetizzarsi sino a scomparire, o a dar luogo, nella tradizione critica, a notazioni non più che generiche, spesso approssimative o erronee, ma sempre assai sbrigative. Stendhal ne trattò brevissimamente nella sua monografia rossiniana, confondendola con Il signor Bruschino; altri biografi, come il Toye, considerando autentica una lettera di Rossini indirizzata all'impresario veneziano Antonio Cera, pubblicata la prima volta nel 1892, e già giudicata apocrifa dal critico Radiciotti, vorrebbero, declinando uno stereotipo caratteriale risalente allo stesso Stendhal ed ormai definitivamente inaccettabile, che il compositore si fosse vendicato, scrivendo una partitura al di sotto delle proprie possibilità, del tiro giocatogli dall'impresario che gli aveva dato da musicare il peggior libretto tra quelli a sua disposizione. È possibile che l'originario lapsus accompagnato dal consueto corollario mitico di Stendhal e le successive fioriture di sapore romanzesco abbiano avuto, paradossalmente, un certo peso nell'orientare in senso negativo - sin dall'Ottocento - una tradizione critica già prevenuta verso questa prima fase dello stile rossiniano; atteggiamento che è ancora riconoscibile nel severo e lapidario giudizio del Radiciotti su La scala di 29 seta: "Generalmente parlando, la musica di quest'opera è sbiadita e banale.

  • Gioacchino Rossini ...Semiramide Overture One of the Greatest Opera Composers in Hi
    Gioacchino Rossini ................................................ Semiramide Overture One of the greatest opera composers in history, Gioacchino Rossini was adept at many styles, from comic opera to the Baroque style of tragic melodrama as seen in Semiramide, which was the last of his Italian operas. Semiramide is considered one of the finest examples of this style. Rossini’s departure from such examples of comic opera as Il barbiere di Siviglia and La Cenerentola came, perhaps coincidentally, at the same time as his burgeoning relationship with dramatic soprano Isabella Colbran – for whom the title role in Semiramide was written. Based loosely on Voltaire’s tragedy Semiramis , the opera tells the partly mythical story of an Assyrian woman who led her husband’s army into battle after his death, all the while masquerading as her son. She later became queen, conquering much of Asia. Following Semiramide ’s premiere in Venice in 1823, the opera enjoyed modest success before disappearing from the stage for nearly a century before returning in the 1960s. The overture, however, is widely played and has become a staple part of orchestral repertoire. It marks a departure from other operatic overtures of the early 1800s, in that the themes are drawn directly from Semiramide ’s score. It also represents some of Rossini’s best orchestral writing, starting from the rhythmic opening, to the entrance of the horn choir taken directly from the score of the opera, to the joyously frenetic ending. Leonard Bernstein ................ Symphonic Dances from West Side Story A man who brought classical music to the forefront of mainstream media in a time when television and radio were growing rapidly in popularity, Leonard Bernstein was one of the most talented and influential musicians in American history.

  • La Couleur Du Temps – the Colour of Time Salzburg Whitsun Festival 29 May – 1 June 2020
    SALZBURGER FESTSPIELE PFINGSTEN Künstlerische Leitung: Cecilia Bartoli La couleur du temps – The Colour of Time Pauline Viardot-Garcia (1821 – 1910) Photo: Uli Weber - Decca Salzburg Whitsun Festival 29 May – 1 June 2020 (SF, 30 December 2019) The life of Pauline Viardot-Garcia – singer, musical ambassador of Europe, outstanding pianist and composer – is the focus of the 2020 programme of the Salzburg Whitsun Festival. “The uncanny instinct Cecilia Bartoli has for the themes of our times is proven once again by her programme for the 2020 Salzburg Whitsun Festival, which focuses on Pauline Viardot. Orlando Figes has just written a bestseller about this woman. Using Viardot as an example, he describes the importance of art within the idea of Europe,” says Festival President Helga Rabl-Stadler. 1 SALZBURGER FESTSPIELE PFINGSTEN Künstlerische Leitung: Cecilia Bartoli Pauline Viardot not only made a name for herself as a singer, composer and pianist, but her happy marriage with the French theatre manager, author and art critic Louis Viardot furthered her career and enabled her to act as a great patron of the arts. Thus, she made unique efforts to save the autograph of Mozart’s Don Giovanni for posterity. Don Giovanni was among the manuscripts Constanze Mozart had sold to Johann Anton André in Offenbach in 1799. After his death in 1842, his daughter inherited the autograph and offered it to libraries in Vienna, Berlin and London – without success. In 1855 her cousin, the pianist Ernst Pauer, took out an advertisement in the London-based journal Musical World. Thereupon, Pauline Viardot-García bought the manuscript for 180 pounds.

  • Gioachino Rossini the Journey to Rheims Ottavio Dantone
    _____________________________________________________________ GIOACHINO ROSSINI THE JOURNEY TO RHEIMS OTTAVIO DANTONE TEATRO ALLA SCALA www.musicom.it THE JOURNEY TO RHEIMS ________________________________________________________________________________ LISTENING GUIDE Philip Gossett We know practically nothing about the events that led to the composition of Il viaggio a Reims, the first and only Italian opera Rossini wrote for Paris. It was a celebratory work, first performed on 19 June 1825, honoring the coronation of Charles X, who had been crowned King of France at the Cathedral of Rheims on 29 May 1825. After the King returned to Paris, his coronation was celebrated in many Parisian theaters, among them the Théâtre Italien. The event offered Rossini a splendid occasion to present himself to the Paris that mattered, especially the political establishment. He had served as the director of the Théatre Italien from November 1824, but thus far he had only reproduced operas originally written for Italian stages, often with new music composed for Paris. For the coronation opera, however, it proved important that the Théâtre Italien had been annexed by the Académie Royale de Musique already in 1818. Rossini therefore had at his disposition the finest instrumentalists in Paris. He took advantage of this opportunity and wrote his opera with those musicians in mind. He also drew on the entire company of the Théâtre Italien, so that he could produce an opera with a large number of remarkable solo parts (ten major roles and another eight minor ones). Plans for multitudinous celebrations for the coronation of Charles X were established by the municipal council of Paris in a decree of 7 February 1825.

    Guillaume Tell ROSSINI in WILDBAD Belcanto Opera Festival Zum Opernfestival „Rossini in Wildbad“ heiße ich als Schirmherr alle Besuche- rinnen und Besucher herzlich in der Schwarzwälder Thermal-Kurstadt Bad Wild- bad im Enztal willkommen. 2013 feiert die national und international renom- mierte Veranstaltung ihr 25. Jubiläum - hierzu gratuliere ich allen Beteiligten sehr herzlich. In den vergangenen Jahren hat sich das Belcanto Opera Festival „Rossini in Wildbad“ zu einem kulturellen Aushängeschild entwickelt, dessen Ruf weit über die Region und das Land hinausstrahlt. Insbesondere in Fachkreisen wird es als Kleinod geschätzt, das mit großem Erfolg verheißungsvollen Nachwuchskünstle- rinnen und -künstlern im Belcanto-Stil eine breite Bühne bietet. Zur Feier des 25-jährigen Bestehens der Festspiele haben die Verantwortlichen und Organisatoren einen ganz besonderen Programm schwerpunkt gewählt: Gioachino Rossinis Freiheitsoper „Wilhelm Tell“ soll erstmals ohne jegliche Kür- zung aufgeführt werden. Ich bin sicher, dass die Aufführung von Rossinis letzter geschriebener Oper dem Jubiläum einen besonderen Glanz verleihen und weit über Baden-Württemberg hinaus Beachtung finden wird. Das Opernfestival „Rossini in Wildbad“ zeigt: Baden-Württembergs Kulturland- schaft überzeugt durch Qualität und Vielfalt. Es ist die Summe der zahlreichen und vielfältigen Veranstaltungen in den Städten und Gemeinden, die Baden- Württembergs Ruf als Kultur- und Kunstland im In- und Ausland mehren. Gerade auch die Rossini-Festspiele stellen - obgleich eines der kleinsten internationalen Opernfestivals - seit nunmehr einem Vierteljahrhundert ebenso eindrucksvoll wie erfolgreich unter Beweis, dass nicht nur die großen Metropolen im Land hervorragende Kulturarbeit leisten. Auch die Regionen ermöglichen Musikerleb- nisse auf allerhöchstem künstlerischem Niveau. Zum besonderen Flair und der hohen Attraktivität dieses Festivals trägt neben den herausragenden Künstlerin- nen und Künstlern auch der Umstand bei, dass Gioachino Rossini einst selbst als Gast im Kurort Wildbad weilt.

  • "Il Barbiere Di Siviglia" De Rossini
    SAVERIO LAMACCHIA Universitá di Udine Reflexiones para una nueva interpretación de Il barbiere di Siviglia de Rossini (y de Manuel García)1 Se dice que Il barbiere di Siviglia de Rossini es una obra en la que un astuto barbero (Figaro), consigue que se casen el Conde de Almaviva y Rosina, para vergüenza del viejo Bartolo.Aquí sos- tenemos que, con toda probabilidad, Rossini y su libretista, Cesare Sterbini, en el carnaval de 1816, habían pensado en otra historia, aquella en la que el barbero chapucero intenta en el primer acto ayudar al Conde, pero provoca grandes problemas que hacen que el poderoso Conde deba tomar las riendas de la intriga en el segundo acto y a conducir él mismo el desenlace. Para argumentar esta tesis se subrayan las importantes diferencias entre el libreto y su fuente principal, Le barbier de Séville de Beaumarchais, y por primera vez, se señala como fuente Il Califfo di Bagdad de Manuel García (1813). Sostenemos que Il barbiere di Siviglia fue escrito por mediación de García, no sólo desde el punto de vista vocal sino también actoral: éste elegía personajes iracundos, poderosos y con deter- minación. Figaro no obstante, se toma su revancha desde el punto de vista musical: desde siempre, los espectadores acaban por hacer suya la parte de más éxito y divertida; y a fin de cuentas, es eso lo que más importa en una ópera cómica.
