  • JOS-075-1-2018-007 Child Prodigy
    From the Bel Canto Stage to Reality TV: A Musicological View of Opera’s Child Prodigy Problem Peter Mondelli very few months, a young singer, usually a young woman, takes the stage in front of network TV cameras and sings. Sometimes she sings Puccini, sometimes Rossini, rarely Verdi or Wagner. She receives praise from some well meaning but uninformed adult Ejudge, and then the social media frenzy begins. Aunts and uncles start sharing videos, leaving comments about how talented this young woman is. A torrent of blog posts and articles follow shortly thereafter. The most optimistic say that we in the opera world should use this publicity as a means to an end, to show the world at large what real opera is—without ever explaining how. Peter Mondelli The sentiment that seems to prevail, though, is that this performance does not count. This is not real opera. Opera was never meant to be sung by such a voice, at such an age, and under such conditions. Two years ago, Laura Bretan’s performance of Puccini’s “Nessun dorma” on America’s Got Talent evoked the usual responses.1 Claudia Friedlander responded admirably, explaining that there are basic physiological facts that keep operatic child prodigies at a distance from vocally mature singers.2 More common, however, are poorly researched posts like the one on the “Prosporo” blog run by The Economist.3 Dubious claims abound—Jenny Lind, for exam- ple, hardly retired from singing as the post claims at age twenty-nine, the year before P. T. Barnum invited her to tour North America.

  • Getting Ready for Rossini Sonartrio Chopin Cycle VIII
    Editorial We are planning the 27th edition of ROSSINI IN WILDBAD. It is our most extensive festival ever: five operas, three of which are modern or German premieres and some of which are practically unknown. There are new soloists, the faces of the future, for each year we look for outstanding talented singers from all countries, who will be singing with some of the finest bel canto artists of our time. There will also be a cyclic offering of Rossini’s virtuoso “Sonate a quattro,” the string sonatas in the critical edition. Rossini himself discovered new talent during his stay at the spa of Wildbad (such as Friedrich Hermann, who became one of the most famous violinists of his time), and it was during or after his stay in Wildbad that he began again to compose his “Sins of My Old Age.” We invite you to share in this experience of discovery and excellence during the three exciting weeks of ROSSINI IN WILDBAD! Hors d’oeuvres - Getting Ready for Rossini Saturday, June 20, 19:40 Königliches Kurtheater SonARTrio This unusual trio (bayan accordion, violin, cello) performs mostly modern music by Wolf- gang Rihm, Karlheinz Stockhausen, Tilo Medek and others. The concert will include se- lections from the young artists of the German Music Council (Deutscher Musikrat). Saturday, June 27, 19:40 Königliches Kurtheater Chopin Cycle VIII, Eugène Mursky The eighth and last concert of all the piano works of Fréderic Chopin with Berlin-based Russian pianist Eugène Mursky.

  • Ricciardo E Zoraide and Adina from the 2018 Pesaro Festival
    Rossini’s Ricciardo e Zoraide and Adina from the 2018 Pesaro Festival Charles Jernigan, August 20, 2018. 2018 is a Rossini anniversary year on several counts. It is the 150th anniversary of the composer's death in 1868, and that milestone is being celebrated all over Italy this year with numerous productions of his operas. It is also the 200th anniversary of the composition of three of his 39 operas--Mosè in Egitto, Ricciardo e Zoraide and Adina, and this year's Pesaro festival is dedicating two of its opera productions to two of those works. Ricciardo e Zoraide Between 1815 and 1823, Rossini focussed his operatic activity in Naples (with excursions to Rome, Venice and Milan to produce several other new works). The serious operas he created for Naples' San Carlo stage became the template for serious opera in Italy for some decades to come. The San Carlo was the most daring and professional house in Italy at the time, and Rossini was able to experiment and produce the ten serious works which came to be called the "jewels in his crown." It was an intensely creative period for him, presided over by his muse, lover and eventual wife, Isabella Colbran, who had the starring role in all of his Naples opera serias. According to most critics and scholars over the years, the fifth of those ten Naples opera serias, Ricciardo e Zoraide, was the least interesting and most conservative, and, in fact, its status is attested to by the paucity of modern revivals. Outside of two previous offerings at the ROF, modern productions have been very few indeed.
