  • Vesti La Giubba from Pagliacci
    Vesti la Giubba from Pagliacci Ruggero Leoncavallo 1857-1919 Arranged by William V. Johnson INSTRUMENTATION Solo Tenor Trumpet 1 Solo Trombone (Optional) Trumpet 2 Piccolo Trumpet 3 Flute 1 Horn 1 Flute 2 Horn 2 Oboe 1 Horn 3 Oboe 2 Horn 4 English Horn Trombone 1 Bassoon 1 Trombone 2 Bassoon 2 Bass Trombone Contra Bassoon Euphonium Clarinet in Eb Tuba Clarinet 1 Double Bass Clarinet 2 Piano Clarinet 3 Timpani Alto Clarinet Cymbals Bass Clarinet Contra Bass Clarinet Soprano Saxophone Alto Saxophone I Alto Saxophone II Tenor Saxophone Baritone Saxophone Duration: About 3 minutes PROGRAM NOTES The Opera Around 1890, when Pietro Mascagni’s Cavalleria rusticana premiered, Ruggero Leoncavallo was a little-known composer. After seeing Mascagni’s success, he decided to write an opera in response: one act composed in the verismo style. Leoncavallo claimed that he based the story of Pagliacci on an incident from his childhood, a murder in 1865, the victim of which was a Leoncavallo family servant, Gaetano Scavello. The murderer was Gaetano D’Alessandro, with his brother Luigi an accomplice to the crime. The incident resulted from a series of perceived romantic entanglements involving Scavello, Luigi D’Alessandro, and a village girl with whom both men were infatuated. Leoncavallo’s father, a judge, was the presiding magistrate over the criminal investigation. Pagliacci was performed in Milan in 1892 with immediate success; today it is the only work by Leoncavallo in the standard operatic repertory. Its most famous aria “Vesti la giubba” (“Put on the costume” or, in the better-known older translation, “On with the motley”) was recorded by Enrico Caruso and laid claim to being the world’s frst record to sell a million copies, although this is probably a total of Caruso’s various versions of it made in 1902, 1904 and 1907.

In this ground-breaking book, Derek B. Scott examines the cultural transfer of operetta from the German stage to Britain and the USA and offers a historical and critical survey of these operettas and their music. In the period 1900–1940, over sixty operettas were produced in the West End, and over seventy on Broadway. A study of these stage works is important for the light they shine on a variety of social topics of the period – from modernity and gender relations to new technology and new media – and these are investigated in the individual chapters. This book is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core at doi.org/10.1017/9781108614306. derek b. scott is Professor of Critical Musicology at the University of Leeds.

  • Il Trovatore
    Synopsis Act I: The Duel Count di Luna is obsessed with Leonora, a young noblewoman in the queen’s service, who does not return his love. Outside the royal residence, his soldiers keep watch at night. They have heard an unknown troubadour serenading Leonora, and the jealous count is determined to capture and punish him. To keep his troops awake, the captain, Ferrando, recounts the terrible story of a gypsy woman who was burned at the stake years ago for bewitching the count’s infant brother. The gypsy’s daughter then took revenge by kidnapping the boy and throwing him into the flames where her mother had died. The charred skeleton of a baby was discovered there, and di Luna’s father died of grief soon after. The gypsy’s daughter disappeared without a trace, but di Luna has sworn to find her. In the palace gardens, Leonora confides in her companion Ines that she is in love with a mysterious man she met before the outbreak of the war and that he is the troubadour who serenades her each night. After they have left, Count di Luna appears, looking for Leonora. When she hears the troubadour’s song in the darkness, Leonora rushes out to greet her beloved but mistakenly embraces di Luna. The troubadour reveals his true identity: He is Manrico, leader of the partisan rebel forces. Furious, the count challenges him to fight to the death. Act II: The Gypsy During the duel, Manrico overpowered the count, but some instinct stopped him from killing his rival. The war has raged on.

  • Operetta After the Habsburg Empire by Ulrike Petersen a Dissertation
    Operetta after the Habsburg Empire by Ulrike Petersen A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Music in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in Charge: Professor Richard Taruskin, Chair Professor Mary Ann Smart Professor Elaine Tennant Spring 2013 © 2013 Ulrike Petersen All Rights Reserved Abstract Operetta after the Habsburg Empire by Ulrike Petersen Doctor of Philosophy in Music University of California, Berkeley Professor Richard Taruskin, Chair This thesis discusses the political, social, and cultural impact of operetta in Vienna after the collapse of the Habsburg Empire. As an alternative to the prevailing literature, which has approached this form of musical theater mostly through broad surveys and detailed studies of a handful of well‐known masterpieces, my dissertation presents a montage of loosely connected, previously unconsidered case studies. Each chapter examines one or two highly significant, but radically unfamiliar, moments in the history of operetta during Austria’s five successive political eras in the first half of the twentieth century. Exploring operetta’s importance for the image of Vienna, these vignettes aim to supply new glimpses not only of a seemingly obsolete art form but also of the urban and cultural life of which it was a part. My stories evolve around the following works: Der Millionenonkel (1913), Austria’s first feature‐length motion picture, a collage of the most successful stage roles of a celebrated

  • Biographic Details Regarding the Operetta the Land of Smiles by Franz Lehár
    BIOGRAPHIC DETAILS REGARDING THE OPERETTA THE LAND OF SMILES BY FRANZ LEHÁR Katja Claudia Nadler Abstract This essay on biographic details regarding the operetta The Land of Smiles by Franz Lehár is entirely dedicated to facts found in literature and repositories of performance organisers. It does not aim at discussing importance or consequences this operetta might have on current musical life neither in central Europe nor in Asia. Being aware of this, here are only details mentioned that are helpful for further studies and do not mislead into speculation. Also, this essay is just a first access to the materials from the viewpoint of recent experiences with operettas. Keywords: operetta, exoticism, Franz Lehár, Vienna Franz Lehár was born on 30th April, 1870 in Komárno, a town then belonging to Hungary. His father was Franz Lehár (senior) the military capellmeister from Habsburg; province of Moravian Silesia. His mother was Christine Lehár of Hungarian origin (Linke, 2001: 7). Due to the father’s profession, Lehár frequently moved from place to place in his early childhood. Hence, in 1871 the Lehárs were ordered to Bratislava, 1875 to Sopron, 1877 to Cluj and in 1879 to Carlsberg. The family became larger from one station to the next. Three of Lehár’s siblings died shortly after birth, whereas Maria Anna was only 11 years old when she passed away. A long life was only granted to Lehár and his 1876 born brother Anton and to his 1890 born sister Emilie Christine (ibid: 13). In Lehár’s parents’ house music played a crucial role. For the parents, it was obvious that one day their eldest son would overtake the father’s profession (ibid: 14).
