ARGUMENT At the period when the Pharaohs ruled over Egypt, Aida, daughter of Amonasro, King of Ethiopia, having fallen a prisoner into the hands of the Egyptians, and being brought to Memphis, was given as a slave by their King to his daughter Amneris, who captivated by the grace and beauty of the unknown maid took her into favor as a friend and sister. Radames, a young captain of the King's guards, sec- retly beloved by Amneris, on beholding Aida falls in love with her, and his passion is reciprocated by Aida. The proud daughter of the Pharaoh, suspecting a rival in her slave, swears vengeance should her doubt prove a certainty. Mean- while war is again declared between Egypt and Ethiopia, and Radames, appointed leader of the army, departs from Mem- phis to fight the Ethiopians, who, headed by their King, have invaded Egypt and invested Thebes. The enemy defeated, Radames enters the delivered city victorious, laden with spoil, and followed by the prisoners, among whom is Amon- asro himself, disguised as an officer. Through the intercession of Radames the prisoners are set free, with the exception of Amonasro, who being recognized as Aida's father is retained with her, when as a reward for his great services the King grants to Radames the hand of his daughter Amneris. Amonasro in his captivity having noticed the mutual affec- tion existing between Radames and Aida, resolves to take advantage of it for the destruction of his enemies, as there is between the two nations a new war impending. Finding that a secret meeting was appointed between the lovers at night, near the temple of Isis, he conceals himself within hearing and obtains information of the plan of the war, in- cautiously revealed by Radames to Aida. At this moment Ramphis, the high priest of Isis, emerging from the temple with Amneris, suddenly surprises Radames, who, accused of having betrayed to the enemy his country's cause, gives him- self up as a prisoner to Ramphis. Radames, brought to judg- ment and condemned by the sacred council to be buried alive, is visited by Amneris, who offers him pardon from the King on condition that he renounces Aida forever. On his refusal, and as the stone is already enclosing him, he discovers Aida by his side, who has contrived to penetrate into the tomb, and is come to prove the depth of her constancy and love by sharing his fate.

A large body of published research exists regarding the physiology of breathing, the acoustics of singing, and solutions for specific vocal faults. There is similarly a growing body of research into the system of voice classification and repertoire assignment. This paper shall reexamine this research in light of baritenor voices. After establishing the general parameters of healthy vocal technique through appoggio, the various tenor, baritone, and bass Fächer will be studied to establish norms of vocal criteria such as range, timbre, tessitura, and registration for each Fach. The study of these Fächer includes examinations of the historical singers for whom the repertoire was created and how those roles are cast by opera companies in modern times. The specific examination of baritenors follows the same format by examining current and

  • 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.

  • Toscanini IV – La Scala and the Metropolitan Opera
    Toscanini IV – La Scala and the Metropolitan Opera Trying to find a balance between what the verbal descriptions of Toscanini’s conducting during the period of roughly 1895-1915 say of him and what he actually did can be like trying to capture lightning in a bottle. Since he made no recordings before December 1920, and instrumental recordings at that, we cannot say with any real certainty what his conducting style was like during those years. We do know, from the complaints of Tito Ricordi, some of which reached Giuseppe Verdi’s ears, that Italian audiences hated much of what Toscanini was doing: conducting operas at the written tempos, not allowing most unwritten high notes (but not all, at least not then), refusing to encore well-loved arias and ensembles, and insisting in silence as long as the music was being played and sung. In short, he instituted the kind of audience decorum we come to expect today, although of course even now (particularly in Italy and America, not so much in England) we still have audiences interrupting the flow of an opera to inject their bravos and bravas when they should just let well enough alone. Ricordi complained to Verdi that Toscanini was ruining his operas, which led Verdi to ask Arrigo Boïto, whom he trusted, for an assessment. Boïto, as a friend and champion of the conductor, told Verdi that he was simply conducting the operas pretty much as he wrote them and not allowing excess high notes, repeats or breaks in the action. Verdi was pleased to hear this; it is well known that he detested slowly-paced performances of his operas and, worse yet, the interpolated high notes he did not write.

  • OPERALOMBARDIA in STREAMING LA FANCIULLA DEL WEST Di
    Teatro Grande comunicato stampa lunedì 23 novembre 2020 OPERALOMBARDIA IN STREAMING LA FANCIULLA DEL WEST di Giacomo Puccini Recital d’Opera 25 NOVEMBRE 2020 ore 20.30 LIVE STREAMING DAL TEATRO FRASCHINI DI PAVIA Prosegue il progetto streaming della Stagione di OperaLombardia, la rete dei Teatri di Tradizione lombardi che accoglie anche il Teatro Grande di Brescia. Dopo il successo delle dirette di Werther di Jules Massenet dal Teatro Grande di Brescia (giovedì 12 novembre) e di Zaide di Mozart/ Calvino al Teatro Sociale di Como (venerdì 20 novembre), il palinsesto streaming di Opera Lombardia si arricchisce di un nuovo titolo: mercoledì 25 novembre alle ore 20.30 sul sito www.operalombardialive.it sarà possibile assistere a una selezione di brani tratti dalla Fanciulla del West di Giacomo Puccini, un recital d’opera della durata di un’ora circa che vedrà protagonisti Rebeka Lokar (soprano, ad interpretare Minnie), Angelo Villari (tenore, nei panni di Dick Johnson, alias Ramerrez), Devid Cecconi (baritono, nel ruolo di Jack Rance, sceriffo), accompagnati al pianoforte dal Maestro Valerio Galli, esperto conoscitore delle partiture pucciniane che vedremo in questa occasione impegnato al pianoforte anziché alla direzione d’orchestra. In La Fanciulla del West (tratta da The girl of the golden West, dramma di David Belasco del 1905) Puccini seppe descrivere in maniera realistica il Nuovo Mondo e la ‘corsa all’oro’ dopo essere stato a New York nel 1907; la composizione non risentì solo delle influenze americane e di un Paese, che affascinava oltremodo il compositore toscano, ma anche dei drammi personali che Puccini visse nel periodo di composizione di quest’opera, correlati alla morte di Doria Manfredi, appena ventunenne, avvenuta nel gennaio del 1909.
