    Mozart LA FINTA GIARDINIERA Felicia Moore as Katya (left) and Samantha Hankey as Varvara in last spring's Juilliard Opera production of Janácˇek's Katya Kabanova. Photo by Hiroyuki Ito A Message from Brian Zeger Artistic Director of the Ellen and James S. Marcus Institute for Vocal Arts Welcome to the 2017–18 season of Juilliard's Ellen and James S. Marcus Institute for Vocal Arts. Even among operagoers who love Mozart’s operas, some will be discovering his youthful masterpiece, La finta giardiniera, tonight for the first time. Much as in Le nozze di Figaro, the story is peopled with a complicated web of masters and servants, all taking part in the push and pull of love and hate and loyalty and betrayal that characterize young love. Elements of broad comedy alternate with poignant sadness, giving the 18-year-old Mozart a huge gamut of emotions to bring to musical life. This production brings to Juilliard for the first time the distinguished by Claudio Papapietro Photo of cellist Khari Joyner Photo by Claudio Papapietro Metropolitan Opera conductor Joseph Colaneri as well as director Mary Birnbaum for her sixth Juilliard production. Later in the season we offer a concert version of Ravel’s delightful L’enfant et les sortilèges conducted by the superb French conductor Emmanuel Villaume. A Juilliard Opera first will happen in April when we join forces with Juilliard Dance and Juilliard415—the school’s early instrument ensemble—to present Jean-Philippe Rameau’s masterpiece Hippolyte et Aricie. This extraordinary 18th-century work uses music and dance to tell the troubling story of Phèdre’s illicit love for her stepson, Hippolyte, which brings chaos to both gods and mortals.

    LA FINTA GIARDINIERA Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791) nouvelle production 2019-2020 DOSSIER PÉDAGOGIQUE • LES ARTS FLORISSANTS Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791) LA FINTA GIARDINIERA Die Gärtnerin aus Liebe / La Fausse Jardinière K. 196 Opéra bouffe en 3 actes de 1775 Livret supposé de Giuseppe Petrosellini ou de Ranieri de’ Calzabigi d’après Goldoni UN TOUT JEUNE MOZART ! Mozart naît à Salzbourg en Autriche le 27 janvier 1756. Il a 19 ans lorsqu’il met en musique le livret de La finta giardiniera (ou « la fausse jardinière ») en 1775. La période de Mozart comme enfant prodige est terminée. Après nombre de voyages, il rentre avec son père à Salzbourg en mars 1773. Bien qu’il se soit quand même rendu à Vienne, à Munich, à Mannheim et à Paris, on peut dire que les années 1770-1780 sont dominées par une intense activité à Salzbourg. Mozart en Chevalier de l’éperon d’or Peinture (copie du portrait réalisé en 1777 Cependant, c’est à Munich qu’il va passer 3 mois, pour l’Académie de Bologne) entre décembre 1774 et mars 1775, pour finir la Salzbourg, Mozart-Mus. d.

La commande de l’œuvre était venue de l’électeur de Bavière, Maximilien III, qui souhaitait que cet opéra soit donné pour le carnaval de 1775 à la cour de Munich. C’est donc au théâtre Salvator à Munich, le 13 janvier 1775, que l’opéra sera joué pour la Mozart, photo de première fois. Friedrich Bruckmann (1814-1898), d’après un tableau de Carl Jäger (1833-1887) UN OPERA BOUFFE, C’EST QUOI ? Un opéra bouffe (ou dramma giocoso) est un genre de musique qui vise à divertir en accumulant, souvent avec beaucoup d’humour, de multiples péripéties.
