Turandot Giacomo Puccini OPERA ON THE LAKE 2016 TURANDOT GIACOMO PUCCINI 20 JULY – 21 AUGUST 2016 No man shall ever possess her – the Chinese princess Turandot sets three riddles for every man that comes to woo her. So far none have been able to solve the riddles, and have paid with their heads. n unknown prince achieves the impossible: he cor- rectly answers all three questions. But Turandot A is still unwilling to surrender to him. So the Prince is ready to lay down his life if she can find out his name by morning. Throughout the night, no one may sleep: every- one must try to discover his name ... Calaf‘s aria »Nessun dorma« is what made Giacomo Puccini‘s last opera Turandot world famous. At Bregenz it echoes out into the night against the imposing back- drop of a dragon-shaped wall on Lake Constance. Marco Arturo Marelli‘s stage design makes use of Chinese sym- bols of power. The stage wall is inspired by the world‘s longest man-made structure, the Great Wall of China. At Bregenz the wall is criss-crossed by over two hund- red terracotta warriors, some of them sky-high, others half-submerged in the water.

The opera begins in the middle of the coronation ceremony for the new king, Claudio. Hamlet struggles to conceal his dark suspicions that Claudio had his father killed in order to seize his crown and his wife. Faccio and Boito skilfully and effectively challenge the con- ventions of Italian opera, which they wanted to revitalise by infusing it with the spirit of Shakespeare‘s drama.

He displays generosity but is conde- Hscending towards others. He commits a murder and is not afraid to confront his own death. The others dearly wish he‘d get his comeuppance, but no sooner is he gone than they miss him. In their timeless opera, Wolfgang A. Mozart and Lorenzo da Ponte fashioned the contradictory and attractive Don Juan into one of the most memorable characters in opera. Death is present from the beginning. It seems Don Giovanni‘s many conquests are behind him now and nothing goes right for him.

ZYKAN hat happened in Austrian politics between 1920 and 1938? Which individuals and institutions drove WAustro-fascism? These questions were explored – in sharp-tongued, grotesque and provocative fashion – by composer Otto M. Zykan and stage director Franz Novotny in their television film Staatsoperette. The film was broadcast once only, in 1977, and caused uproar and scandal. It was con- demned by one bishop as an »assault on the religious convic- tions of millions of Austrians« and by the Protestant Press Agency as a »tasteless distortion of Austrian history«. A version for the stage, which at that time was already planned, will now receive its world premiere at the Bregenz Festival.

They don‘t know each other; he can‘t see her and she can‘t hear him. T She looks after the injured man in a dispassionate way; he begins to desire the woman that helps him. Both har- bour a dark secret that shapes their lives traumatically. In their inability to open up to another person, they both find a possibility for tentative trust. Isabel Coixet‘s film The Secret Life of Words has been adapted for the stage and the Czech composer Miroslav Srnka has produced a score of great sensitivity. It‘s only in singing that the two main characters Hanna and Joseph find a means of expressing themselves. They dampen down the noise of the outside world by the music that comes from inside them.

The key to the completion of the opera lies in a relatively few pages of musical ideas sketched out in brief, schematic form.

  • Arrigo Boito
    Servizio Toponomastica Progetto “ CHI SONO ?” note sui nomi delle vie di CESENA Scheda relativa a : ARRIGO BOITO Poeta, narratore e compositore Arrigo Boito è noto per il suo melodramma "Mefistofele" e per i suoi libretti d'opera. Arrigo Boito nasce a Padova il 4 febbraio 1842; dal 1854 studia violino, pianoforte e composizione al Conservatorio di Milano. Terminati gli studi si reca a Parigi con Franco Faccio dove prende contatto con Gioacchino Rossini, quando questi viveva alla periferia della capitale francese; successivamente si sposterà in Polonia, Germania, Belgio e Inghilterra. Torna a Milano e dopo un periodo nel quale si presta a compiere svariati lavori, nel 1862 scrive i versi per l'"Inno delle Nazioni" che successivamente verrà musicato da Giuseppe Verdi per l'Esposizione Universale di Londra. Seguono anni di lavoro, interrotti solamente per due mesi nel 1866 durante i quali, con Faccio ed Emilio Praga, Arrigo Boito segue Giuseppe Garibaldi nella sua azione nel Trentino. Nel 1868 alla Scala di Milano viene rappresentata la sua opera "Mefistofele", basata sul "Faust" di Goethe. Al suo debutto l'opera non viene accolta benevolmente, tanto che provoca disordini e scontri per il supposto implicito "Wagnerismo". Dopo due rappresentazioni la polizia decide di interrompere le esecuzioni. Boito successivamente rivedrà drasticamente l'opera, riducendola: la parte di Faust, scritta per baritono, verrà riscritta in chiave tenorile. La nuova versione viene rappresentata al Teatro Comunale di Bologna nel 1876 e ottiene un grande successo; unica fra le composizioni di Boito, entra nel repertorio delle opere ancor oggi rappresentate e registrate con maggiore frequenza. Negli anni successivi Boito si dedica alla stesura di libretti per altri compositori.

Crazy in love with Marie, the young peasant Tonio engages in the battalion to see her every day. When the Marquise of Berkenfield reveals the true identity of Mary, who is her daughter, the young woman could be separated forever from Tonio. Acclaimed by the lyric press, South African soprano Pretty Yende returns to the stage of the Met opposite the tenor Javier Camarena for an opera of great vocal virtuosity under the baton of Enrique Mazzola. The alchemist Donizetti's expertise once again acts with this unique blend of melancholy and joy. Tenor Javier Camarena and soprano Pretty Yende team up for a feast of bel canto vocal fireworks—including the show-stopping tenor aria “Ah! Mes amis … Pour mon âme,” with its nine high Cs. Alessandro Corbelli and Maurizio Muraro trade off as the comic Sergeant Sulpice, with mezzo-soprano Stephanie Blythe as the outlandish Marquise of Berkenfield. And in an exciting piece of casting, stage and screen icon Kathleen Turner makes her Met debut in the speaking role of the Duchess of Krakenthorp. Enrique Mazzola conducts.

  • Liurandot, Ovvero the Strange Case of Princess Turandot and Slave Liù *
    Rivista di Storia delle Idee 3:1 (2014) pp. 196-218 ISSN.2281-1532 http://www.intrasformazione.com DOI 10.4474/DPS/03/01/ONT124/23 Patrocinata dall’Università degli Studi di Palermo Antonino Fiorenza Liurandot, ovvero The strange case of Princess Turandot and slave Liù * Tra il 1886 e il 1887 lo scrittore inglese Henry Rider Haggard pubblica sulla rivista «The Graphic» un romanzo intitolato She, che ha per protagonista Ayesha, una bellissima donna bianca, in possesso di poteri soprannaturali ed ancora giovane dopo oltre 2000 anni di vita. Ella regna su una sperduta popolazione africana (gli Amahagger), cui si mostra raramente e sempre con il viso coperto da un velo, perché gli uomini, alla visione della sua bellezza, impazziscono d’amore, “perdono la testa” per Lei-cui-si-deve-obbedienza (She-Who-Must-Be-Obeyed). Ma anche essere amati da Ayesha si rivela molto pericoloso: Callicrate, il sacerdote egizio di Iside, del quale la regina si è invaghita, viene da Lei ucciso perché è l'unico che le resiste, mentre nel successivo Ayesha: The Return of She (1905) il suo discendente Leo Vincey, che dovrebbe vendicarlo (il suo cognome significa appunto Vendicatore), ma resta vittima del fascino di Ayesha, muore baciandola, perché il suo corpo mortale non può reggere il potere e l'amore della Donna eterna (questo il titolo di alcune traduzioni italiane di She). Il romanzo di Haggard diventa ben presto popolarissimo, tant’è vero che tra il 1899 e il 1925 ispira ben sei film. Il primo di questi, il brevissimo La Danse du feu o La colonne de feu di Georges Meliès, ci mostra Ayesha mentre si bagna nel Fuoco che, essendo la vita e il sangue della Natura, la rende eternamente giovane, come poi farà nel 1932 nei fumetti di Cino e Franco una sua epigona, la regina Loana, la cui misteriosa fiamma ha dato il titolo al quinto romanzo di Umberto Eco (2004).
