  • Petite Messe Solennelle : Religiosità Domestica E Solennità Liturgica Guida All’Ascolto a Cura Di Marco Faelli
    Petite Messe solennelle : religiosità domestica e solennità liturgica guida all’ascolto a cura di Marco Faelli Il 13 marzo del 1864, in un salone del palazzo della Contessa Louise Pillet Will, a Parigi, viene presentata, ad uno scelto pubblico di invitati, la Petite Messe solennelle . La composizione non è destinata ad un uso liturgico (il pianoforte non è adatto all’acustica di una chiesa), ma ad un ambiente più intimo, domestico. L’organico è quindi essenziale (da qui l’aggettivo Petite , mentre Solennelle indica che tutto il testo è musicato, compreso il Credo ). Scrive Rossini nella partitura autografa: « Douze chanteurs de trois sexes Hommes, Femme et Castres seront suffisants pour sono execution, savoir huit pour les choeurs, quatre pour les solos, total Douze Cherubins »; a questi si aggiungeva il sostegno strumentale di due pianoforti e di un harmonium . Nonostante il desiderio di Rossini (sappiamo quanto rimpiangesse la ormai inevitabile scomparsa dei castrati), il “terzo sesso” non prese parte all’esecuzione: i ruoli femminili vennero infatti sostenuti dalle sorelle Barbara e Carlotta Marchisio, mentre il tenore era Italo Gardoni (primo interprete, tra l’altro, dei Masnadieri di Verdi), e il basso Louis Agniez. Il coro era costituito da studenti del Conservatorio di Parigi, scelti personalmente da Auber, e diretti (alle spalle dei solisti e con tanto di bacchetta) dal maestro Choen. Per la cronaca, al primo pianoforte sedeva un allievo di Chopin, Georges Mathias. La primitiva versione della Petite Messe venne eseguita solo tre volte durante la vita dell’autore: dopo la sua morte entrò in circolazione una versione orchestrale (in cui le parti solistiche e quelle corali rimangono identiche), strumentata dall’autore stesso, anche se malvolentieri.

  • Une Histoire De La Réception De La Donna Del Lago Au Théâtre Royal Italien De 1824 À 1848
    6 « Fatale expérience » ou « fête pour le public des Italiens » ? Une histoire de la réception de La donna del lago au Théâtre royal Italien de 1824 à 1848 a donna del lago connaît cent treize représentations au Théâtre royal Italien entre 1824 et 1848. À cela s’ajoutent onze représentations séparées de l’acte II. C’est L donc bien, si l’on en croit les contemporains, « un opéra de répertoire »1. Cette expression ne désigne pas une réalité harmonieuse dont le secret tiendrait à la perfection de l’œuvre elle-même. Elle procède d’une construction dans le temps, au fil des attentes, des colères et des bonheurs du public vis-à-vis des artistes et de l’administration. C’est donc sous la plume même des contemporains que l’on peut faire émerger les grands enjeux d’une histoire de la réception de La donna del lago au Théâtre-Italien. Bien sûr, il serait difficile, impossible même, de retracer ici toute cette histoire. Notre premier choix consistera donc à nous interroger plus longuement sur la création, décisive pour saisir les éléments qui reviendront par la suite de façon récurrente. Notre second choix sera de privilégier, non pas la musique de l’opéra telle que la reçoivent les spectateurs parisiens, mais les questions de scénographie et d’interprétation. Les raisons justifiant cette approche constituent aussi les deux enjeux de notre propos. Le premier tient à la partition même de l’opéra, à son exigence première : la présence simultanée de trois premiers chanteurs, un soprano, un ténor, et un contralto.

  • Terreur Vénitienne, Héroïsme Français Et Amours Impossibles
    fromental halévy : la reine de chypre Terreur vénitienne, héroïsme français et amours impossibles Diana R. Hallman Pendant le premiers tiers du xix e siècle, les récits historiques qui capti - vent les lecteurs et amateurs de théâtre prennent corps sur la scène de l’Opéra de Paris sous la forme de grands opéras relatant des tragédies intimes sur fond d’événements et de conflits tirés d’un passé lointain – de la révolte des paysans napolitains contre la domination espagnole en 1647 dans La Muette de Portici de Daniel-François-Esprit Auber (1828) au massacre de la Saint-Barthélemy (1572) dans Les Huguenots de Giacomo Meyerbeer (1836). Fromental Halévy (179 9- 1862), compositeur majeur de grand opéra, dépeint le personnage historique du cardinal de Brogni et le Concile de Constance de 141 4- 1418 dans La Juive (1835), ouvrage qui raconte l’histoire (inventée par Eugène Scribe) de l’opposition religieu - se et d’un amour condamné entre une Juive et un Chrétien. Il allait de nouveau aiguiser son intérêt pour l’histoire du xv e siècle dans son troi - sième grand opéra, La Reine de Chypre , œuvre en cinq actes composée en 1841 sur des paroles de Jules-Henri Vernoy de Saint-Georges (179 9- 1875). En mettant en musique la vie de la reine chypriote Catarina Cornaro, réinventée par Saint-Georges, Halévy a manifestement senti le potentiel scénique du mariage contrecarré de Catarina, de la rivalité ambivalente des chevaliers français exilés qui demandent sa main et des riches cou - leurs musicales et dramatiques promises par les scènes de fêtes exotiques à Venise et à Chypre.
