The orchestra [Teatro Regio of Turin], conducted by Mattia Rondelli, was at its best.” – Franca Cassine La stampa 19.12.12 Playing with the orchestra is great fun “It was made all the more enjoyable by the fact that to the intrinsic qualities of the orchestra, Mattia Rondelli added a conduction with a wide and generous movement of the baton, in accordance with the imposing voices that were at his disposal [...] A velvety, appealing, sensual disc, in which you can indulge without restraint, to remember that there were times and places shielded from the hideous mediocrity of the human condition” – Sylvain Fort Luxe, calme et Magnificat 24 oct. 2012 “The Mariinsky choir and orchestra under Mattia Rondelli recorded at Sony a "Magnificat" and the opulent "Gloria" by the Italian artist Giuseppe Sarti (1729- 1802).

It all becomes clear after having listened to his operas, but even more after his sacral music, as the two pieces here recorded with authentic passion by Mattia Rondelli, conducting the orchestra and choir of the Mariinsky Theatre of St. Petersburg. The imperious solemnity of the choral parts and the charm of flourishing, dramatic or sweet melodies of any different situations, join the strength and the modernity of a definitely captivating counterpoint.” – E.

  • Opera Olimpiade
    OPERA OLIMPIADE Pietro Metastasio’s L’Olimpiade, presented in concert with music penned by sixteen of the Olympian composers of the 18th century VENICE BAROQUE ORCHESTRA Andrea Marcon, conductor Romina Basso Megacle Franziska Gottwald Licida Karina Gauvin Argene Ruth Rosique Aristea Carlo Allemano Clistene Nicholas Spanos Aminta Semi-staged by Nicolas Musin SUMMARY Although the Olympic games are indelibly linked with Greece, Italy was progenitor of the Olympic operas, spawning a musical legacy that continues to resound in opera houses and concert halls today. Soon after 1733, when the great Roman poet Pietro Metastasio witnessed the premiere of his libretto L’Olimpiade in Vienna, a procession of more than 50 composers began to set to music this tale of friendship, loyalty and passion. In the course of the 18th century, theaters across Europe commissioned operas from the Olympian composers of the day, and performances were acclaimed in the royal courts and public opera houses from Rome to Moscow, from Prague to London. Pieto Metastasio In counterpoint to the 2012 Olympic games, Opera Olimpiade has been created to explore and celebrate the diversity of musical expression inspired by this story of the ancient games. Research in Europe and the United States yielded L’Olimpiade manuscripts by many composers, providing the opportunity to extract the finest arias and present Metastasio’s drama through an array of great musical minds of the century. Andrea Marcon will conduct the Venice Baroque Orchestra and a cast of six virtuosi singers—dare we say of Olympic quality—in concert performances of the complete libretto, a succession of 25 spectacular arias and choruses set to music by 16 Title page of David Perez’s L’Olimpiade, premiered in Lisbon in 1753 composers: Caldara, Vivaldi, Pergolesi, Leo, Galuppi, Perez, Hasse, Traetta, Jommelli, Piccinni, Gassmann, Mysliveek, Sarti, Cherubini, Cimarosa, and Paisiello.

  • Of Operatic Love Courtesan
    E. Giuseppe Verdi (1813–1901) Finally to the first act of La traviata (1854), a highly unusual work in Verdi’s output in that it treats a contemporary subject taken from a play currently playing on French stages. Violetta Valéry is a Paris Vagaries of Operatic Love courtesan. Knowing that she is dying of tuberculosis, she is set on going out in a froth of champagne. But then she meets an admirer, Alfredo Germont, who tries to persuade her to give up this life and move with him to the peace of the country. As we discover in Act Two, she will do so, but not without ending Act One in an aria that is the most remarkable internal examination of the feelings of a woman 11 in love yet seen on the opera stage. The innovative production by Willy Decker was first seen in Salzburg 12 in 2005 and later brought to the Met. Alas, it was replaced by a much less inventive one last season. — La traviata, Act I, second half 18 Anna Netrebko, Rolando Villazón.

  • Sarti's Fra I Due Litiganti and Opera in Vienna
    John Platoff Trinity College March 18 2019 Sarti’s Fra i due litiganti and Opera in Vienna NOTE: This is work in progress. Please do not cite or quote it outside the seminar without my permission. In June 1784, Giuseppe Sarti passed through Vienna on his way from Milan to St. Petersburg, where he would succeed Giovanni Paisiello as director of the imperial chapel for Catherine the Great. On June 2 Sarti attended a performance at the Burgtheater of his opera buffa Fra i due litiganti il terzo gode, which was well on its way to becoming one of the most highly successful operas of the late eighteenth century. At the order of Emperor Joseph II, Sarti received the proceeds of the evening’s performance, which amounted to the substantial sum of 490 florins.1 Fra i due litiganti, premiered at La Scala in Milan on September 14, 1782, had been an immediate success, and within a short time began receiving productions in other cities. It was performed in Venice under the title I pretendenti delusi; and it was the third opera produced in Vienna by the newly re-established opera buffa company there in the spring of 1783. By the time of Sarti’s visit to the Hapsburg capital a year later, Fra i due litiganti was the most popular opera in Vienna. It had already been performed twenty-eight times in its first season alone, a total unmatched by any other operatic work of the decade. Thus the Emperor’s awarding 1 Link, National Court Theatre, 42 and n.

  • Call for Papers Luigi Marchesi (1754-1829), “Ocean of Sopranos”: Career of a Castrato Singer
    CALL FOR PAPERS LUIGI MARCHESI (1754-1829), “OCEAN OF SOPRANOS”: CAREER OF A CASTRATO SINGER Bergamo, October 16-17, 2015 CFP deadline: March 30, 2015 Luigi Marchesi was one of the most famous singers of the second half of the Eighteenth Century, acclaimed performer of operas by Pasquale An- fossi, Domenico Cimarosa, Alessandro Tarchi, Johann Simon Mayr, Nic- colò Zingarelli, Antonio Salieri, Giuseppe Sarti, Francesco Bianchi, Josef Mysliveček, etc. The brilliant career of this emblematic castrato spread across Europe: enormous triumphs throughout Italy were followed by travels to St. Peter- sburg, London, Warsaw and Vienna. Thanks to his incredible coloratura, a legendary range, and a dazzling singing technique, Marchesi proved himself to be the perfect performer for extremely virtuosic and heroic roles. With Rubinelli and Pacchierotti he was universally considered one of the most important singers of his time. Marchesi was also fiercely criticized: his style in embellishments and his acting became topics for discussions strongly influenced by the incipient sunset of the castrati era in theatres. Stile Galante (Amsterdam) wishes to dedicate to Luigi Marchesi a two-day international conference, to be held in Bergamo on October 16-17, 2015. CONFERENCE BOARD Nicholas Baragwanath (University of Nottingham) Rosa Cafiero (Università Cattolica di Milano) Damien Colas (CNRS) Paolo Fabbri (Università degli Studi di Ferrara) Giulia Giovani (Centro Studi sulla Cantata Italiana) Claudio Toscani (Università degli Studi di Milano).
