The Possibility of Opera
7 The Possibility of Opera In the performances of the Prologue of Orfeo, as staged by Luca Ronconi (see chapter 3), and of Combattimento, as staged by Pierre Audi (chapter 6), a char- acter at first represents the narrator — La Musica in the former case, Testo in the latter one. Both characters assert their presences through musical, verbal, and scenic effects. At a later phase — respectively, in the third and seventh strophes of their settings — La Musica and Testo also emerge as focalizing agents, their func- tion as narrators gradually receding into the background in order to “give life” to focalized characters — respectively, Orpheus and Tancredi/Clorinda. Clorinda becomes so autonomous a character as to herself become a focalizer at the end. Under this perspective, both performances can be said to stage the birth of musi- cal theater, and in the second case, we might add, out of the spirit of the madrigal. The madrigal is traditionally dominated by the narrator’s voice, diffused into the polyphonic concentus. But in the hands of Monteverdi, particularly in his Books V to VIII, the madrigal becomes the privileged site for the performance of a plurality of points of view. Characters come to life intermittently even despite their absence from the verbal text as such, thanks, for example, to the focalizing role played by instruments in concertato madrigals. Still, the narrator remains the ever-present voice (in narrative terms) that is audible and visible mostly in the continuo line, but also intermittently in individual voices (in physical terms) such as the bass — this was a traditional conduit of the “speaker” since Arcadelt. -

Opera De Lille Saison 2013--2014
OPERA DE L ILLE SAISON 2013-- 2014 Dix ans ! Fin 2003, l’Opéra de Lille ouvrait ses portes après trois années de rénovation et se donnait une nouvelle ambition : offrir au plus grand nombre la chance de découvrir de grandes œuvres lyriques, chorégraphiques et musicales, interprétées par des artistes qui marquent notre temps. Au cœur de son action : la production d’opéras qui trois ou quatre fois par saison convie chanteurs et équipes de mise en scène venus du monde entier. Ils s’associent aux forces artistiques qui épousent l’exigence et le désir de partage de l’Opéra : l’Orchestre national de Lille et son directeur Jean-Claude Casadesus, fidèle partenaire grâce à qui les grands chefs-d’œuvre tels que Faust , La Traviata ou Carmen ont été présentés ; l’Orchestre de Picardie, toujours prêt à relever les défis artistiques, de Madama Butterfly en 2004 au Rake’s Progress récemment ; et enfin les ensembles en résidence, Ictus, et le Concert d’Astrée dirigé par Emmanuelle Haïm, qui depuis dix ans donnent le ton de ce projet atypique. Dès leurs premiers concerts, une atmosphère à la fois de grande exigence artistique et de plaisir communicatif a permis aux amateurs comme aux néophytes d’apprécier des pièces du répertoire, contemporain pour l’un, baroque pour l’autre. De grandes œuvres contemporaines ont aussi vu le jour grâce au soutien de l’Opéra de Lille. Compositeurs et chorégraphes ont trouvé ici une scène pour créer de nouvelles formes artistiques et de nouveaux langages, notamment Georges Aperghis et Michaël Levinas pour leurs opéras, et Christian Rizzo puis Daniel Linehan dans le cadre de leurs résidences. -

MOLIÈRE À L’ÉCRAN : UNE AUTRE SCÈNE POUR LA COMÉDIE olière est sans doute, des auteurs français, celui dont la vie et l’œuvre ont inspiré le plus de films. Ses pièces ont fourni au cinéma un répertoire comique largement connu du grand public et ce patrimoine classique s’est vu, du cinéma des premiers temps au cinéma contemporain, perpétuellement revisité, réinventé, modernisé. Qu’elles inspirent des démarches auteuristes où le comique se teinte de noirceur, ou qu’elles fassent triompher la bouffonnerie dans les grandes comédies populaires, les pièces de Molière ont réussi à conquérir cette autre scène qu’est l’écran pour offrir au théâtre un nouvel espace où le comique puisse continuer ses métamorphoses. Italo Calvino disait des œuvres classiques qu’elles « n’avaient jamais fini de dire ce qu’elles avaient à nous dire » : la rencontre, par-delà les siècles, de Molière et de cet art résolument moderne qu’est le cinéma est encore la preuve de l’actualité toujours vivante du grand auteur classique. Molière, personnage de cinéma La vie de Molière, si romanesque dans sa trajectoire et si mystérieuse par les défauts de sa chronologie, offre au cinéma l’occasion de mêler le biographique au romanesque, tout en jouant de la mise en abyme (Molière ayant été lui-même acteur). -

Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com Opera, an eclectic synthesis of voice, drama, music, costume, visual arts and spectacle, has played an integral role in queer culture since its development in seventeenth-century Venice. As opera intermingles the sublime and the absurd, and has embraced unabashedly high artifice, unfettered emotion, melodrama and improbable, convoluted plots, it Scenes from two operas shares many of the qualities that define queer sensibility, through a combination of that featured roles for idealistic romantic identification and camp travesty. women playing men: Top: The Marriage of Figaro (1786) by Holding up an allegorical and larger-than-life mirror to the incongruous experience of Amadeus Mozart. many gay men and lesbians, opera revels in cross-dressing, illicit romance, intrigue, Anonymous watercolor. gender-bending, despair and triumph, passion and death, and the cult of the diva.

This painting of a 1912 performance was Opera, or dramma per musica, developed in early seventeenth century Venice, where created by Ernst Edler. a combination of Renaissance humanism, anti-clericalism, and, perhaps most important, a large, mixed public audience willing to pay for entertainments that appealed to popular tastes sustained and informed this new genre. Hence, opera could exercise some autonomy from Church censorship and aristocratic patronage, resulting in plots that celebrated the human rather than the divine and that punctured caste hierarchies. Typically, these operatic plots, replete with intrigue, reversals of fortune, byzantine complication, and masquerade, valorized human passion and created an idealized form of romantic heroism. -

Heslin Excerpt More information 1 Opening N ights at the Opera 1641–1744 Eccoti ò Lettore in questi giorni di Carnevale un’Achille in maschera. Preface to L’Achille in Sciro, Ferrara 1663* ver the course of the late seventeenth and early eighteenth cen- turies, the story of Achilles in Scyros was represented many times on operatic stages across Europe. Given the nature of the young genre, it O 1 is not hard to see why this motif was popular. To illustrate the principle, con- trast the Elizabethan theater, where the custom of boy actors playing the parts of women lent a certain piquancy to plots in which a female character dressed as a man: thus a boy played a woman playing a man. In Baroque opera, the sit- uation was reversed. The primary roles were almost invariably scored for high voices, which could only be sung by a woman or a man whose secondary sexual 2 characteristics had not developed. In most cases the choice between a female singer and a castrato seems to have been determined by the local availability of 3 singers rather than the pursuit of naturalism. It was not impossible to see the * “In these days of Carnival, here is Achilles wearing a mask for you, dear reader.” On this text, see below (p 11). 1 Thus Rosselli (1992: 58). 2 This was accomplished by cutting the spermatic cords or by orchidectomy before puberty: see Jenkins (1998) on the procedure and physiology, and on the social context, see Rosselli (1988)or more succinctly Rosselli (1992: 32–55). -

Introduction Dans aucun pays l’opéra n’a été attaqué aussi sévèrement qu’en France. L’opéra français a été critiqué même avant d’avoir été créé 1). Lorsque Mazarin fit représenter pour la première fois un opéra italien à la cour de France, les Français avaient déjà une tradition glorieuse du ballet de cour et du genre tragique qui allait s’imposer avec les quatre grandes tragédies de Pierre Corneille. Il n’est pas nécessaire de chanter des vers qui déclamés, suffisent à toucher l’esprit et le cœur de leurs auditeurs. De plus, la musique nuit à leur intelligence. Ainsi, dès le début les débats sur l’opéra en France sont si passionnés, et les pièces théâtrales entièrement chantées et surtout le récitatif français sont si violemment attaqués qu’il faudra attendre un quart de siècle pour assister à la création de l’opéra français. Nous nous proposons d’analyser les raisonnements tenus par les opposants de l’opéra et comment en a été influencé le récitatif français. A la même époque, grâce aux opéras italiens présentés par Mazarin, le public français découvrit avec enthousiasme le merveilleux des machines de scènes.
