  • Il Favore Degli Dei (1690): Meta-Opera and Metamorphoses at the Farnese Court
    chapter 4 Il favore degli dei (1690): Meta-Opera and Metamorphoses at the Farnese Court Wendy Heller In 1690, Giovanni Maria Crescimbeni (1663–1728) and Gian Vincenzo Gravina (1664–1718), along with several of their literary colleagues, established the Arcadian Academy in Rome. Railing against the excesses of the day, their aim was to restore good taste and classical restraint to poetry, art, and opera. That same year, a mere 460 kilometres away, the Farnese court in Parma offered an entertainment that seemed designed to flout the precepts of these well- intentioned reformers.1 For the marriage of his son Prince Odoardo Farnese (1666–1693) to Dorothea Sofia of Neuberg (1670–1748), Duke Ranuccio II Farnese (1639–1694) spared no expense, capping off the elaborate festivities with what might well be one of the longest operas ever performed: Il favore degli dei, a ‘drama fantastico musicale’ with music by Bernardo Sabadini (d. 1718) and poetry by the prolific Venetian librettist Aurelio Aureli (d. 1718).2 Although Sabadini’s music does not survive, we are left with a host of para- textual materials to tempt the historical imagination. Aureli’s printed libretto, which includes thirteen engravings, provides a vivid sense of a production 1 The object of Crescimbeni’s most virulent condemnation was Giacinto Andrea Cicognini’s Giasone (1649), set by Francesco Cavalli, which Crescimbeni both praised as a most per- fect drama and condemned for bringing about the downfall of the genre.

BACH 2000 will be launched at the Salzburg Festival on 28 July 1999 and be available from the very beginning of celebrations to mark the 250th anniversary of the composer's death in 1750.

BACH 2000 - A Summary Teldec's BACH 2000 Edition, 153 CDs in 12 volumes comprising Bach's complete works performed by world renowned Bach interpreters on period instruments, constitutes one of the most ambitious projects in recording history. BACH 2000 represents the culmination of a process that began four decades ago in 1958 with the creation of the DAS ALTE WERK label. After initially triggering an impassioned controversy, Nikolaus Harnoncourt's belief that "Early music is a foreign language which must be learned by musicians and listeners alike" has found widespread acceptance. He and his colleagues searched for original instruments to throw new light on composers and their works and significantly influenced the history of music interpretation in the second half of this century.

  • Christophe Rousset and Les Talens Lyriques Unearth the Impropriety of the Gods in a Staging of Legrenzi’S La Divisione Del Mondo
    Christophe Rousset and Les Talens Lyriques unearth the impropriety of the Gods in a staging of Legrenzi’s La Divisione del Mondo 8-16 February 1, 3 March 9 March Strasbourg Mulhouse Colmar 20-27 March Legrenzi La 13, 14 April Nancy Divisione del Mondo Versailles “La Divisione del Mondo shows us a most complicated and modern dysfunctional family - the Roman Gods seem to offer a hilarious mirror of our human misconduct and failures.” - Jetske Mijnssen Christophe Rousset and Les Talens Lyriques tour Giovanni Legrenzi’s rarely-performed La Divisione del Mondo in France from 8 February to 14 April. Directed by Jetske Mijnssen, fifteen performances will be given from Strasbourg to Versailles, via Mulhouse, Colmar, and Nancy, in a co-production with the Opéra national du Rhin and the Opéra national de Lorraine. Seen in its first modern staging in France, the revival of La Divisione del Mondo forms part of Les Talens Lyriques’ season theme, The Temptation of Italy, tracking Italian influences on French writing. Venetian opera had influenced French operatic tradition since its inception, and the only surviving score for La Divisione del Mondo is found in the Bibliothèque nationale de Paris. First performed in a lavish staging with great success at the Venetian Teatro San Salvador in 1675, La Divisione del Mondo depicts the division of the world following the victory of the Olympian gods over the Titan deities: the world inhabited by Madeline Miller’s novel Circe, recently a runaway best-seller in both the New York Times and The Sunday Times. Far from being a banal tale of morals and virtues, instead it unearths dreadful impropriety, with the goddess Venus leading all the other gods (with the exception of Saturn) through a series of moral temptations into debauchery.

Previously, musicians who specialized in instrumental performance were often excluded from literate musical cultures: they were artisans operating within oral traditions of improvisation and formulaic playing. As a result, relatively few written compositions survive from instrumentalists prior to 1500. By the end of the sixteenth century, instrumentalists were benefitting in many regions from a vast growth in general literacy, and were frequently intersecting with the educated cultures of churches and courts—as a result, they could notate with precision the music that they played and created. This trend contributed to the pedagogical
