CONTINGUT MUSICAL I ARGUMENTAL OBERTURA Les trompes pesaroses ens introdueixen en un món en el qual entraran en lluita dos pobles, el jueu i el babi­ loni, representats per sengles capdavanters; això expli­ ca el caire militarista que tenen alguns episodis de l'o­ bertura, així com les sobtades intervencions apoteòsi­ ques de l'orquestra. Després d'aquests apunts temàtics, la fusta insinua el que serà al final de l'òpera el mo­ ment més esperat, el cor de jueus perseguits i a punt d'ésser ajusticiats, tema que és utilitzat de maneres diverses en combinació amb la corda i la fusta. Un dar­ rer episodi aparegut en «crescendo» i que finalment ex­ plota en el «tutti» orquestral, amb singular intervenció de la caixa, clou l'obertura que pretén resumir els mo­ ments més intensos de l'òpera. * * * ACTE 1. «Jerusalem» Els hebreus han estat derrotats pels babilonis de Nabucco i cer­ quen alguna solució a llur de­ plorable estat, solució que apor­ ta el pontífex Zaccaria presen­ tant Fenena, filla del rei babilo­ ni, que ha estat feta presonera.

Ens trobem ara a les dependències del palau de Nabuc­ co a Babilònia. Abigaille acaba d'assabentar-se del seu naixement innoble, que li arrenca l'esperança d'heretar el tron de Nabucco. Amb tot, decideix portar endavant un pla per tal d'enderrocar Fenena, que ostenta la re­ gència de Babilònia mentre el seu pare s'ocupa d'afers militars. Això dóna pas a l'ària de soprano «Anch'io dischiuso un giorno», precedida de breus apunts de la flauta i que melòdicament es vincula amb l'estètica donizettiana; la notícia de l'intent d'alliberament dels presoners hebreus per part de Fenena i el rumor de la mort de Nabucco encenen en els nobles partidaris d'A­ bigaille l'esperança d'un canvi de corona en favor d'a­ questa darrera. La «cabaletta» és conduïda per aquestes esperances; es tracta d'un episodi de bravura que compta amb l'aportació del cor, que accentua aquest tret. En un altre indret Zaccaria, acompanyat dellevita porta­ dor de les taules de la Llei, recita una pregària en la qual pren consciència de la necessitat de desfer-se de l'opressió. Les violes i la corda greu perfilen l'estat d'a­ bandó en què es troben els desterrats. Entren aleshores els altres levites que s'enfronten a Ismaele el qual in­ tenta justificar la seva defensa de Fenena, acte que es veu inútil quan els levites descobreixen que la filla de Nabucco ha abraçat plenament la fe israelita. A con­ tinuació arriba Abigaille disposada a destronar la seva germana amb el suport del poble, però la sobtada pre­ sència del propi Nabucco desfà els plans de la germana gran.

I 1867 ble Egypt lagt under tyrkisk herredømme, en tilstand som vedvarte frem til 1914. 2 år senere ble Suez-kanalen åpnet, og i denne forbindelsen ønsket khediven Ismael Pasha å bestille en ny opera fra en av samtidens ledende operakomponister. Fremføringen av operaen skulle samtidig innvie den nye italienske operaen i Kairo, som khediven hadde latt bygge.

  • Die Zauberflöte
    June 4, 2020 – Mozart’s Die Zauberflöte On this week’s Thursday Evening Opera House I'll be presenting everyone’s favorite Mozart Singspiel, Die Zauberflöte (The Magic Flute). It was premiered on September 30, 1791 in Vienna’s Theater auf der Wieden, which was operated by librettist Emanuel Schikaneder (the first Papageno). Mozart’s penultimate opera, it is a fairy tale work overlaid with Masonic and humanist symbolism. Three Ladies (soprano Hildegard Hillebrecht, mezzo-soprano Doris Cvetka Ahlin, contralto Sieglinde Wagner) save Prince Tamino (tenor Fritz Wunderlich) from a monster and give him a portrait of Pamina (soprano Evelyn Lear), daughter of their mistress, the Queen of the Night (soprano Roberta Peters). Tamino falls in love with Pamina’s beautiful image, and the Queen charges him with rescuing her from the hands of the supposedly evil Sarastro (bass Franz Crass), the high priest of Isis. She gives him an enchanted flute to aid him through perils, and sends the bird catcher Papageno (baritone Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau) with him as a guide. On arrival at the Temple of Isis, Tamino is told by the Speaker (bass-baritone Hans Hotter) that only truth and wisdom reside within, and Sarastro bids him enter and learn. Pamina, lusted after by Sarastro’s Moorish slave Monostatos (tenor Friedrich Lenz), returns Tamino’s love, and the two agree to undergo tests to prove their virtue and constancy. Papageno is also tested and even though he makes a poor showing, is rewarded with Papagena (soprano Lisa Otto). With the aid of the magic flute, Tamino and Pamina pass through the ordeals of fire and water.

  • The Verdi Requiem - a Partial Survey of the Discography by Ralph Moore
    The Verdi Requiem - A Partial Survey of the Discography by Ralph Moore The circumspect title of my survey arises from the fact that although over eighty recordings are listed in the Wikipedia discography (see also MWI Masterwork Index) it is not complete and there are probably many more circulating in the form of private recordings on what used to be called “pirate” labels. For instance, in my own comparatively modest collection of thirty-five recordings are a live Karajan performance from 1970 on the “Gala” label, the Naxos release conducted by Morandi and the LSO Live recording conducted by Colin Davis, none of which is included in that Wiki list. The Karajan recording is superb but, unfortunately, in muddy mono sound and while the Naxos double CD makes a good super-bargain “starter suggestion”, it is not as good as many of the recordings discussed below. Furthermore, I have discarded some dozen or so which I came to regard as “shelf-cloggers”, insofar as I had no desire to play them again, so I am able to venture an opinion and express some preferences but am by no means in any position to make definitive statements about “best” recordings, even if I desired to do so. Besides, individual taste in performers and personal convictions regarding how this work should be approached and sound will govern others’ choices; all I propose to do is provide some assessment of those recordings with which I am familiar. I have often encountered fellow music-lovers who have no taste for Verdi’s operas but still enjoy the Requiem, which is amusing as the work surely merits what some construe as the derogatory label of “Verdi’s greatest opera”.
