  • Opera Olimpiade
    OPERA OLIMPIADE Pietro Metastasio’s L’Olimpiade, presented in concert with music penned by sixteen of the Olympian composers of the 18th century VENICE BAROQUE ORCHESTRA Andrea Marcon, conductor Romina Basso Megacle Franziska Gottwald Licida Karina Gauvin Argene Ruth Rosique Aristea Carlo Allemano Clistene Nicholas Spanos Aminta Semi-staged by Nicolas Musin SUMMARY Although the Olympic games are indelibly linked with Greece, Italy was progenitor of the Olympic operas, spawning a musical legacy that continues to resound in opera houses and concert halls today. Soon after 1733, when the great Roman poet Pietro Metastasio witnessed the premiere of his libretto L’Olimpiade in Vienna, a procession of more than 50 composers began to set to music this tale of friendship, loyalty and passion. In the course of the 18th century, theaters across Europe commissioned operas from the Olympian composers of the day, and performances were acclaimed in the royal courts and public opera houses from Rome to Moscow, from Prague to London. Pieto Metastasio In counterpoint to the 2012 Olympic games, Opera Olimpiade has been created to explore and celebrate the diversity of musical expression inspired by this story of the ancient games. Research in Europe and the United States yielded L’Olimpiade manuscripts by many composers, providing the opportunity to extract the finest arias and present Metastasio’s drama through an array of great musical minds of the century. Andrea Marcon will conduct the Venice Baroque Orchestra and a cast of six virtuosi singers—dare we say of Olympic quality—in concert performances of the complete libretto, a succession of 25 spectacular arias and choruses set to music by 16 Title page of David Perez’s L’Olimpiade, premiered in Lisbon in 1753 composers: Caldara, Vivaldi, Pergolesi, Leo, Galuppi, Perez, Hasse, Traetta, Jommelli, Piccinni, Gassmann, Mysliveek, Sarti, Cherubini, Cimarosa, and Paisiello.

  • Antonio Cesti L’Orontea Saturday, June 2 – Tuesday, June 5, 2018 Studebaker Theater | Chicago, Illinois Dear Friends
    Antonio Cesti L’Orontea Saturday, June 2 – Tuesday, June 5, 2018 Studebaker Theater | Chicago, Illinois Dear Friends, Thank you for joining us as we close out our 7th season with Antonio Cesti’s sitcom opera L’Orontea. We hope that our performances will help restore this witty masterpiece to its rightful place alongside the works of Monteverdi and Cavalli. We are thrilled to have world famous countertenor Drew Minter join us both as a stage director and as Aristea for this production. Sarah JHP Watkins joins our creative team as stage designer. It is our pleasure to welcome mezzo soprano Emily Fons in her Haymarket debut in the title role of Orontea. New to HOC are also Kimberly Jones as Amore/Tibrino and Addie Hamilton as Filosofia/Giacinta. Dan Bubeck makes his Haymarket stage debut as Corindo after his beautiful performances as Stradella’s St. John the Baptist in our first Lenten Oratorio concerts in 2016. As a repertory company, we are so fortunate to regularly feature such fine Chicago artists as Sarah Edgar, Scott Brunscheen, Nathalie Colas, Ryan de Ryke, and Dave Govertsen. We extend a special welcome to virtuoso lutenist Nigel North who joins our Venetian-style orchestra. The whirlwind of activity behind the scenes is almost as operatic as one of our productions. Haymarket is growing! We continue to receive generous financial support from the Angell Family Foundation, the Richard H. Driehaus Foundation, the Elizabeth F. Cheney Foundation, the Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events, and the Gaylord and Dorothy Donnelley Foundation. We are excited to announce a new two-year $20,000 “Innovation Grant” from Opera America, generously funded by the Ann and Gordon Getty Foundation.

  • Cimarosa Domenico
    CIMAROSA DOMENICO Compositore italiano (Aversa 17 XII 1749 - Venezia 11 I 1801) RRIITTRRAATTTTOO DDEELL CCOOMMPPOOSSIITTOORREE 327 Il padre era muratore e la madre lavandaia. Ancora bambino, la famiglia si trasferì a Napoli in cerca di lavoro, e il padre dopo poco tempo morì in seguito ad un infortunio occorsogli durante la costruzione del Palazzo Reale di Campodimonte. Ridotta in povertà, la madre mandò il figlio Domenico a vivere coi padri conventuali al Pendino dove ricevette le sue prime lezioni di musica. Dimostrando una particolare inclinazione per la musica, venne inviato nel 1761 al conservatorio di Santa Maria Loreto, con l'obbligo di rimanervi dieci anni.

Si sa che i suoi principali insegnanti furono P. Gallo, F. Fenaroli e S. Carcajus, e che si perfezionò in violino, in clavicembalo, in organo e soprattutto in canto. Cimarosa iniziò a comporre mentre era ancora studente e i suoi primi saggi furono alcuni pezzi religiosi, fra i quali vanno ricordati due mottetti a quattro voci con strumenti, che portano la data 1765, attualmente conservati nella Biblioteca del conservatorio di Napoli. Uscito dal conservatorio all'età di 22 anni, ebbe subito la fortuna di incontrare una protettrice nella persona della signora C. Pallante, una nota cantante trasferitasi a Roma. Probabilmente, grazie all’influenza di C. Pallante, Cimarosa ricevette la commissione per due lavori per il carnevale del 1772 al teatro dei Fiorentini. Tali opere, Le stravaganze del conte e la farsa Le magie di Merlina e Zoroastro, non furono bene accolte dal pubblico, e secondo F.
