Il gran pontefice Zaccaria rincuora la sua gente. In mano ebrea è tenuta come ostaggio la figlia di Nabucco, Fenena, la cui custodia Zaccaria affida a Ismaele, nipote del re di Gerusalemme. Questi, tuttavia, promette alla giovane di restituirle la libertà, perché un giorno a Babilonia egli stesso, prigioniero, era stato liberato da Fe- nena. I due innamorati stanno organizzando la fuga, quando giunge nel tempio Abigaille, supposta figlia di Nabucco, a comando di una schiera di Babilonesi. Anch’essa è innamorata di Ismaele e minaccia Fenena di riferire al padre che ella ha tentato di fuggire con uno stra- niero; infine si dichiara disposta a tacere a patto che Ismaele rinunci alla giovane.

  • Comunicato Stampa
    COMUNICATO STAMPA Otello, omaggio a Giuseppe Verdi nel bicentenario della nascita, inaugura la Stagione lirica e di balletto 2013 Giovedì 2 maggio alle 20.30 si alza il sipario sulla Stagione lirica e di balletto 2013 del Teatro Lirico di Cagliari. Una stagione sempre molto attesa dal pubblico che, anche per quest’anno, segna la rinascita e la voglia di proseguire nella diffusione musicale del Teatro Lirico di Cagliari. Sei opere liriche ed un balletto, una produzione in più rispetto all’anno scorso, tutti titoli di grande interesse che, certamente, troveranno il gradimento del pubblico, sia per quelli noti che per quelli ricercati: Otello, Macbeth, L’amico Fritz, I Shardana, Così fan tutte, Pagliacci, Red Giselle. L’inaugurazione è affidata al doveroso omaggio, in occasione del bicentenario della nascita, a Giuseppe Verdi (Roncole di Busseto, Parma, 1813 - Milano, 1901), massimo operista italiano: Otello, dramma lirico in quattro atti, su libretto di Arrigo Boito, dalla tragedia omonima di William Shakespeare, e musica, appunto, di Verdi, va in scena per sei rappresentazioni, dal 2 al 10 maggio, per il XIII Festival di Sant’Efisio del Teatro Lirico di Cagliari. Lo spettacolo inaugurale, un stimolante allestimento dello scorso gennaio della Fondazione Lirico Sinfonica Petruzzelli e Teatri di Bari, conta dell’eccezionale regia di Eimuntas Nekrosius, geniale artista lituano, celebre in tutto il mondo dello spettacolo per aver curato importanti allestimenti teatrali e che ritorna a Cagliari dopo l’allestimento di La leggenda della città invisibile di Kitež e della fanciulla Fevronija di Nikolaj Rimskij-Korsakov che inaugurò la Stagione lirica e di balletto 2008, delle scene di Marius Nekrosius, dei costumi di Nadežda Gultiajeva e delle luci di Audrius Jankauskas che sfruttano tutte le potenzialità drammaturgiche dell’opera con pochi elementi scenici e colori assemblati con grande pulizia ed eleganza, oltre a movimenti essenziali, in un gioco di rimandi simbolici.

  • New Releases June 2017
    NEW RELEASE JUNE 2017 NEW RELEASES JUNE 2017 www.dynamic.it • [email protected] DYNAMIC Srl • www.dynamic.it • [email protected] 1 NEW RELEASE JUNE 2017 DON CARLO GIUSEPPE VERDI First performed in French at the Paris Opera in 1867, Don Carlo is in many ways an amazingly innovative work. The opera seems to underline Verdi’s shift from the Manichean division between good and evil, which had been a clear, structural element of his dramaturgy up to that point in his career. In this opera, Verdi assembles all his mainstay music theatre themes: power, with its honours and burdens; the contrasts of impossible love; the conflict between father and son; and an oppressed people demanding freedom. Verdi radically revised the score in 1883, using an Italian libretto and reducing the opera from five acts to four. The popularity of Don Carlo has grown unremittingly ever since, with today's critics almost unanimously recognising it as one of Verdi’s greatest masterpieces, an opera that continues to reveal new gems. Daniel Oren is fully in control on the podium, ensuring unanimity between orchestra and singers. The Maestro softens the dark DON CARLO tones of the score, which are well reflected in the visuals, choosing Dramma lirico in four Acts instead to emphasise the various changes of mood. Composer KEY FEATURES GIUSEPPE VERDI (1813 – 1901) Excellent cast for the opening season of Festival Verdi – Teatro Regio di Parma. Libretto by Resounding success, sustained applause, especially for the Joseph Méry e Camille du Locle bass Michele Pertusi as Filippo II. Italian translation by Achille De Lauzières and Angelo Zanardini Available in CD, DVD, Bluray.

  • Bellini's Norma
    Bellini’s Norma - A discographical survey by Ralph Moore There are around 130 recordings of Norma in the catalogue of which only ten were made in the studio. The penultimate version of those was made as long as thirty-five years ago, then, after a long gap, Cecilia Bartoli made a new recording between 2011 and 2013 which is really hors concours for reasons which I elaborate in my review below. The comparative scarcity of studio accounts is partially explained by the difficulty of casting the eponymous role, which epitomises bel canto style yet also lends itself to verismo interpretation, requiring a vocalist of supreme ability and versatility. Its challenges have thus been essayed by the greatest sopranos in history, beginning with Giuditta Pasta, who created the role of Norma in 1831. Subsequent famous exponents include Maria Malibran, Jenny Lind and Lilli Lehmann in the nineteenth century, through to Claudia Muzio, Rosa Ponselle and Gina Cigna in the first part of the twentieth. Maria Callas, then Joan Sutherland, dominated the role post-war; both performed it frequently and each made two bench-mark studio recordings. Callas in particular is to this day identified with Norma alongside Tosca; she performed it on stage over eighty times and her interpretation casts a long shadow over. Artists since, such as Gencer, Caballé, Scotto, Sills, and, more recently, Sondra Radvanovsky have had success with it, but none has really challenged the supremacy of Callas and Sutherland. Now that the age of expensive studio opera recordings is largely over in favour of recording live or concert performances, and given that there seemed to be little commercial or artistic rationale for producing another recording to challenge those already in the catalogue, the appearance of the new Bartoli recording was a surprise, but it sought to justify its existence via the claim that it authentically reinstates the integrity of Bellini’s original concept in matters such as voice categories, ornamentation and instrumentation.

  • The Festival Verdi 2017 Celebrates an Opera Sensation Published on Iitaly.Org (
    The Festival Verdi 2017 Celebrates an Opera Sensation Published on iItaly.org (http://ftp.iitaly.org) The Festival Verdi 2017 Celebrates an Opera Sensation Samantha Janazzo (January 31, 2017) Parma and Busseto co-host The Festival Verdi 2017 to celebrate the operatic arts and the legacy of an Italian opera composer, Giuseppe Verdi, with some of his finest productions. Giuseppe Verdi was a 19th century Grand Maestro and one of the most distinguished opera composers in history. Held at the same level of attainment as Bellini, Donizetti, and Rossini; Verdi dominated the opera scene with his unwavering demonstration of sympathy and compassion in his work. The Festival Verdi [2] creates a tour that honors his succeess with 25 days of opera premieres, productions, special events, meet and greets, and so much more. Each year it tours through the enchanting towns of Parma and Busseto, lands that were cultivated by Verdi’s talent, and places where he built the foundation of his international musical success. The main shows for 2017 include Jérusalem, La Traviata, Stiffelio, Falstaff, and Messa da Requiem at the Teatro Regio di Parma and other locations. Dr. Anna Maria Meo [3], director of the prestigious Teatro Regio di Parma [4], comments on the many new additions that will make this festival better than ever before; which starts at the end of Page 1 of 3 The Festival Verdi 2017 Celebrates an Opera Sensation Published on iItaly.org (http://ftp.iitaly.org) September and ends late October. In order to ensure that Verdi’s origins are recognized while focusing on utilizing the best of the energy, funds, and people for this international event, Meo has appointed a new scientific committee, the creation of the Association Internal Friend of Festival Verdi, and membership to Opera Europa [5].

  • Verdi's Rigoletto
    Verdi’s Rigoletto - A discographical conspectus by Ralph Moore It is hard if not impossible, to make a representative survey of recordings of Rigoletto, given that there are 200 in the catalogue; I can only compromise by compiling a somewhat arbitrary list comprising of a selection of the best-known and those which appeal to me. For a start, there are thirty or so studio recordings in Italian; I begin with one made in 1927 and 1930, as those made earlier than that are really only for the specialist. I then consider eighteen of the studio versions made since that one. I have not reviewed minor recordings or those which in my estimation do not reach the requisite standard; I freely admit that I cannot countenance those by Sinopoli in 1984, Chailly in 1988, Rahbari in 1991 or Rizzi in 1993 for a combination of reasons, including an aversion to certain singers – for example Gruberova’s shrill squeak of a soprano and what I hear as the bleat in Bruson’s baritone and the forced wobble in Nucci’s – and the existence of a better, earlier version by the same artists (as with the Rudel recording with Milnes, Kraus and Sills caught too late) or lacklustre singing in general from artists of insufficient calibre (Rahbari and Rizzi). Nor can I endorse Dmitri Hvorostovsky’s final recording; whether it was as a result of his sad, terminal illness or the vocal decline which had already set in I cannot say, but it does the memory of him in his prime no favours and he is in any case indifferently partnered.
