Enrico Di Borgogna
GAETANO DONIZETTI ENRICO DI BORGOGNA Opera eroica in due atti Prima rappresentazione: Venezia, Teatro San Luca, 14 XI 1818 Dal 1817 al 1821 Donizetti frequentò le riunioni cameristiche di Alessandro Bertoli, dilettante di musica, e compose sedici quartetti d'archi, impadronendosi ancor più dei mezzi espressivi. La struttura quartettistica era una creatura di vivaldiana memoria. Grazie all'equilibrio delle parti strumentali, consentiva di affinare le capacità contappuntistiche ed armoniche con il massimo dei risultati ed il minimo di mezzi. Non a caso gli esercizi d'armonia si soffermano più di frequente sulle strutture a quattro suoni, con o senza raddoppi. "I quartetti mi giovarono tanto per risparmiare la fantasia e comporre un pezzo con poche idee". Donizetti, secondo le testimonianze, scriveva spesso a tavolino, senza mettere mano al pianoforte. Le idee sgorgavano naturali dalla fantasia e producevano musica nello stesso tempo necessario a copiarla. Caratteristica, già vanto di Antonio Vivaldi, che giustifica la facilità melodica e la bellezza sonora delle Arie donizettiane, a diretto contatto con la fonte d'ispirazione. 27 Un musicista disoccupato Proposte di lavoro convinsero Donizetti, a malincuore, a lasciare di nuovo Bergamo e tentare la fortuna a Verona, al seguito di due cantanti: il basso comico Giuseppe de Begnis e la moglie diciottenne Giuseppina Ronzi, poi celebre interprete rossiniana. I cantanti non persero tempo e a Verona ruppero i rapporti con l'impresario Zancla, che li aveva scritturati. Il viaggio ebbe qualche fortuna e fruttò a Donizetti almeno un contratto con lo Zancla, per l'opera Enrico di Borgogna. Il lavoro doveva essere rappresentato nel Teatro San Luca di Venezia. -

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. -
