  • Anna Netrebko Has Redefined What It Means to Be an Opera Star, Becoming Perhaps the Most Celebrated Soprano in the World
    mli^o=jrpf`=mofwb=i^rob^qb=OMOMW=^kk^=kbqob_hl= “A soprano with star power in the best sense, a charismatic expressivity that pervades every element of her performance.” – Anthony Tomassini, New York Times The reigning prima donna of the 21st century, Anna Netrebko has redefined what it means to be an opera star, becoming perhaps the most celebrated soprano in the world. In live performance and on award-winning recordings, her portrayals of opera’s most iconic heroines have already made an indelible mark. Now, as she ventures into bolder, more dramatic repertoire, she continues to reach new heights. From singing at the opening ceremony of the 2014 Winter Olympics to becoming the first classical artist named to TIME magazine’s list of the world’s 100most influential people, Anna serves as opera’s leading global ambassador and is widely recognized as one of today’s most compelling, committed performing artists in any genre. Offstage, on social media, she shares her infectious joie de vivre–along with her love of family, fashion, and food–inspiring people to live their most colorful lives and to celebrate what makes them unique. Now at the peak of her powers, Anna is drawing on the exceptional maturation of her voice to conquer the most demanding roles of her career. Her title role debut in Giovanna d’Arcoat the 2013 Salzburg Festival, and the concurrent release of her Verdi album on Deutsche Grammophon, marked the major turning point when she began to leave behind the lighter, more lyric roles for which she had first become known.

  • 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.

  • Verdi's Simon Boccanegra: a Survey of the Discography
    Verdi’s Simon Boccanegra: A survey of the discography by Ralph Moore I think of Simon Boccanegra as something of a connoisseur’s opera, insofar as it surely contains some of Verdi’s most inspired music, yet has from its premiere rightly been criticised for its labyrinthine plot – a caricature of typically operatic complications – and its consequent lack of accessibility for audiences. For that reason, the first version soon fell out of favour after its 1857 premiere, but Verdi, no doubt with justification, thought highly enough of the music to undertake a revision twenty-three years later with the help of Arrigo Boito, and the result, the 1881 version, is the one almost invariably performed today. The most important addition was the Council Chamber Scene; the opera would be much the poorer without it, but Verdi also revised a good deal of the music to render it far more ductile and atmospheric. The opera presents an admixture of personal and political turmoil such as we encounter in other mature operas like Les vêpres siciliennes and Don Carlos, but also capitalises on two archetypal themes very prevalent in Verdi’s operas and to which he frequently returned, both of which prompted the best of his music: the depiction of a loving but tortured father-daughter relationship of the kind we also see in Luisa Miller, Rigoletto and Aida and his concern for statesmanship, as exhibited in the appeals for peace, patriotism and brotherhood, rallying calls stretching right back to his earliest operas, such as Nabucco, I Lombardi, Attila and La battaglia di Legnano.

  • Verdi String Quartet Program Notes
    Verdi, Giuseppe (1813-1901) String Quartet in E minor Allegro Andantino Prestissimo Scherzo Fuga. Allegro assai mosso Giuseppe Verdi was not a composer readily associated with chamber music—or instrumental music of any kind. He is most famous for transforming Italian opera from a vehicle that displayed vocal technique into an epic and dramatic art form rivalling the innovations of his German contemporary, Richard Wagner. Born in what was then French-controlled northern Italy, Verdi studied music in Milan, and first ventured into opera in 1839 with the moderately successful Oberto. Even greater fame came with his third opera, Nabucco, which led to an impressive string of triumphs. By the early 1870s, Verdi was at the height of his career, producing his newest operas Don Carlos and Aida. The latter work had received its world premiere in Cairo in late 1871, and was subsequently working its way through the major Italian opera houses under Verdi’s supervision. In March of 1873, Aida was scheduled to be performed in Naples, and Verdi was on hand working to adapt this large-scale work for the Teatro di San Carlo. But just before the première, the soprano Teresa Stolz, who had sung the part of Aida in every Italian performance thus far, became ill. As there was no understudy for the challenging new role, the Naples première had to be postponed for some weeks. With free time on his hands, Verdi decided to occupy himself by composing a string quartet, a genre he had never before attempted. The work received its première in a surprise performance for Verdi’s friends in his Naples hotel suite on April 1.

  • From the Glicibarifono to the Bass Clarinet.Pdf
    From the Glicibarifono to the Bass Clarinet: A Chapter in the History of Orchestration in Italy* Fabrizio Della Seta From the very beginnings of opera, the work of the theatre composer was carried out in close contact with, if not founded upon, the performer. At least until half-way through the nineteenth century, a composer would be judged in large part on his ability to make best use of the vocal resources of the singers for whom he was writing in a given season, to model his music on their individual qualities in the same way as (in terms of an often- repeated image) a tailor models the suit to the contours of his client's body, or (to use a more noble comparison) as a sculptor exploits the particular material characteristics of a block of marble. Even Verdi at the time of his greatest prestige, when he was in a position to impose his dramatic ideas in an almost dictatorial manner, drew inspiration from the abilities of respected performers, e.g. from Teresa Stolz for Aida or Giuseppina Pasqua for Falstaff. To a less decisive extent, but according to a concept similar in every respect, the same principle had been applied to the instrumental aspect of opera since the early decades of the eighteenth century, when the orchestra began to assume growing importance in the structure of a work. Often the presence in the theatre orchestra of a gifted instrumentalist would lead the composer to assign to him a prominent solo, almost always as if competing with voice as an obbligato part, and there were cases in which instrumentalist and composer coincided, as happened in certain operas by Handel.
