  • Toscanini IV – La Scala and the Metropolitan Opera
    Toscanini IV – La Scala and the Metropolitan Opera Trying to find a balance between what the verbal descriptions of Toscanini’s conducting during the period of roughly 1895-1915 say of him and what he actually did can be like trying to capture lightning in a bottle. Since he made no recordings before December 1920, and instrumental recordings at that, we cannot say with any real certainty what his conducting style was like during those years. We do know, from the complaints of Tito Ricordi, some of which reached Giuseppe Verdi’s ears, that Italian audiences hated much of what Toscanini was doing: conducting operas at the written tempos, not allowing most unwritten high notes (but not all, at least not then), refusing to encore well-loved arias and ensembles, and insisting in silence as long as the music was being played and sung. In short, he instituted the kind of audience decorum we come to expect today, although of course even now (particularly in Italy and America, not so much in England) we still have audiences interrupting the flow of an opera to inject their bravos and bravas when they should just let well enough alone. Ricordi complained to Verdi that Toscanini was ruining his operas, which led Verdi to ask Arrigo Boïto, whom he trusted, for an assessment. Boïto, as a friend and champion of the conductor, told Verdi that he was simply conducting the operas pretty much as he wrote them and not allowing excess high notes, repeats or breaks in the action. Verdi was pleased to hear this; it is well known that he detested slowly-paced performances of his operas and, worse yet, the interpolated high notes he did not write.

  • Brochure: Madama Butterfly
    Madama BU TT E R F L Y Madama Butterfly A glimpse into the Archivio Storico Ricordi 1 Madama Butterfly 1904: A Perfect Perception of Theatre Conversation with Riccardo Chailly page 7 2 Madama Butterfly in the Archivio Storico Ricordi by Maria Pia Ferraris page 13 3 Two distinct Butterflies by Gabriele Dotto page 15 4 One-way Trip to Japan by Vittoria Crespi Morbio page 23 Greeting At an international media company like Bertelsmann, the ideas and creativity of our artists, writers and journalists form the heart of our value creation. They are the ones who constantly reinvent our offers by continuing to tell new sto- ries, every day, that inform, entertain and inspire people. In this brochure, we tell you the story of Puccini’s Madama Butterfly and its connection to the treasure trove of the world-famous Ricordi Archive. Like Puccini, Ricordi is a name of great resonance – in Italy, throughout the music world, and also at Bertelsmann. The Archivio Storico Ricordi in Milan, which provides near-com- plete documentation of the rise of the music publisher Casa Ricordi and today gives us unique insights into the world of opera, is regarded as the most important privately- owned collection of Italian opera history. Bertelsmann acquired Casa Ricordi in 1994, but later relinquished most of the company again. However, the associated Archivio Storico Ricordi remained part of Bertelsmann. For us, the extraordinary scope of the collection and its outstand- ing importance for the history of Italian opera were more than reason enough to safeguard the many thousands of scores, libretti, letters, and photographs and preserve them for posterity.

  • Tosca-Programme-2015.Pdf
    An opera in three acts by Giacomo Puccini. Libretto by Giuseppe Giacosa and Luigi Illica after the play La Tosca by Victorien Sardou. Tosca was first performed on 14 January 1900 at Teatro Constanzi in Rome. The Puccini ― 1900 performance lasts approximately 2 hours and 15 minutes, including an interval of 20 minutes. Sung in Italian with English surtitles. A New Zealand Opera production. AUCKLAND ASB Theatre, Aotea Centre 17, 19, 23, 25 September 2015, 7.30pm 27 September, 2.30pm Accompanied by the Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra WELLINGTON St James Theatre 10, 15, 17 October 2015, 7.30pm 13 October, 6pm Accompanied by the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra 2015 season P.3 Welcome Welcome to New Zealand Opera’s second Auckland and Wellington offering for the year … Puccini’s monumentalTosca . Whose spine doesn’t tingle to the opening chords of this glorious melodrama? The great Russian composer Shostakovich said of Puccini: “He wrote marvellous operas but dreadful music”. Lucky for us Puccini never pretended to do anything else. Towards the end of his life he said God had touched him with His little finger and said “Write only for the theatre” and so he did. Puccini has been responsible for more real, and yet theatrical ‘heart on the sleeve’ emotion than any other operatic composer. And his Tosca is the opera that conquered the world. This passionate story of lust, revenge and sacrifice has become one of the most loved operas in the repertoire. Tosca is the fire that burns throughout this musical thriller. She is the ultimate Diva. To bring this lady to life we are thrilled to welcome Orla Boylan, who stunned audiences in our 2013 season of The Flying Dutchman.

  • 03-16-2019 Falstaff Mat.Indd
    Synopsis Act I In and around Royal Windsor, England. Dr. Caius bursts into Sir John Falstaff’s room in the Garter Inn, accusing him of unseemly behavior the previous night. He further accuses Falstaff’s two henchmen, Bardolfo and Pistola, of having robbed him while he was drunk. Falstaff contemplates the large bill that he has run up. He informs Bardolfo and Pistola that, in order to repair his finances, he plans to seduce Alice Ford and Meg Page, both wives of prosperous Windsor citizens. When the men refuse to deliver the letters that Falstaff has written to the two ladies, he ridicules their newly discovered sense of honor, before throwing them both out. Alice and Meg laugh over the identical love letters that they have received from Falstaff. They share their amusement with Alice’s daughter Nannetta and their friend Mistress Quickly. Ford arrives, followed by four men all proffering advice: Dr. Caius, whom Ford favors as Nannetta’s future husband; Bardolfo and Pistola, who are now seeking advantageous employment from Ford; and Fenton, who is in love with Nannetta. When Ford learns of Falstaff’s plan to seduce his wife, he immediately becomes jealous. While Alice and Meg plan how to take revenge on their importunate suitor, Ford decides to disguise himself in order to pay a visit to Falstaff. Unnoticed in the midst of all the commotion, Nannetta and Fenton manage to steal a few precious moments together. Act II Feigning penitence, Bardolfo and Pistola rejoin Falstaff’s service. They show in Quickly, who informs Falstaff that both Alice and Meg are madly in love with him.

  • Milton Cross Born in Manhattan on 16 April 1897, Milton Cross Was One of Radio’S First Full- Time Announcers, and Remained So Until His Death on 3 January 1975
    1 Milton Cross Born in Manhattan on 16 April 1897, Milton Cross was one of radio’s first full- time announcers, and remained so until his death on 3 January 1975. His association with the Saturday afternoon radio broadcasts of the Metropolitan Opera’s matinee performances began literally with the first such broadcast: a performance of Hänsel and Gretel that aired on Christmas afternoon, December 25, 1931. Although Christmas Day fell on a Friday that year, the National Broadcasting Company decided to continue broadcasting Metropolitan Opera performances over its Blue Network (which later became the American Broadcasting Company, the corporate name of the ABC network) every Saturday afternoon, a holiday from work for most American men and women. In addition to his 43 consecutive seasons as radio’s Voice of the Metropolitan Opera,” Milton Cross served as an announcer for a variety of other radio programs including “The Magic Key of RCA” (a music program sponsored by RCA Victor), “Information Please” (an early quiz show), “Coast to Coast on a Bus” (a children’s show featuring child performers), and “The Chamber Music Society of Lower Basin Street” (a highly popular jazz-and-blues program). He also narrated a number of film shorts (five- to fifteen-minute sound films that were shown between feature films in movie theaters), as well as educational and entertainment recordings for children, including “Peter and the Wolf” (Musicraft Records, 1949) and “The Magic of Music” (Cabot Records, 1964). Were either of your parents, or any of your siblings, involved in music? Not professionally, no. My father, Robert Cross, and my mother, Margret, who was called “Maggie” within the family, had six children, and I was the fifth of their brood of six.
