  • Viva!” Is the Final Number of Il Re Pastore (The Shepherd King), Which Mozart Composed in 1775 in Salzburg When He Was Just 19 Years Old
    2 Editor’s Note Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791) was one of the most significant composers of the Viennese Classical style and is revered today as one of the greatest composers of all time. Mozart was a tremendously talented composer in the many forms of the Classical era, including operas, symphonies, concertos, chamber works, sonatas, choral works, arias, and songs. His works are highly revered today for their beautiful melodies and rich harmonies. Born in Salzburg, Austria, Mozart’s genius was apparent at a very early age. He became a well-known performer in many European cities by his early teens, eventually serving as concertmaster for the Archbishop of Salzburg. In 1781, after becoming discontented with his low salary and the lack of opportunity for more opera composition in Salzburg, Mozart quit the position and settled in Vienna. Achieving many successes in Vienna, he became known as the finest keyboardist in the city, and he completed a variety of works, including piano concertos and operas. Although he became famous for a while, Mozart’s career and finances gradually declined. He spent his remaining years without the security of a permanent position while struggling for recognition and commissions. “Viva!” is the final number of Il re pastore (The Shepherd King), which Mozart composed in 1775 in Salzburg when he was just 19 years old. Based on the 1751 libretto of Pietro Metastasio, this two-act work is often referred to as a “seranata” because it is a shortened version of an opera seria (serious opera). The production features a small cast of performers and was originally presented with very limited staging.

  • A Countertenor's Reference Guide to Operatic Repertoire
    A COUNTERTENOR’S REFERENCE GUIDE TO OPERATIC REPERTOIRE Brad Morris A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF MUSIC May 2019 Committee: Christopher Scholl, Advisor Kevin Bylsma Eftychia Papanikolaou © 2019 Brad Morris All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Christopher Scholl, Advisor There are few resources available for countertenors to find operatic repertoire. The purpose of the thesis is to provide an operatic repertoire guide for countertenors, and teachers with countertenors as students. Arias were selected based on the premise that the original singer was a castrato, the original singer was a countertenor, or the role is commonly performed by countertenors of today. Information about the composer, information about the opera, and the pedagogical significance of each aria is listed within each section. Study sheets are provided after each aria to list additional resources for countertenors and teachers with countertenors as students. It is the goal that any countertenor or male soprano can find usable repertoire in this guide. iv I dedicate this thesis to all of the music educators who encouraged me on my countertenor journey and who pushed me to find my own path in this field. v PREFACE One of the hardships while working on my Master of Music degree was determining the lack of resources available to countertenors. While there are opera repertoire books for sopranos, mezzo-sopranos, tenors, baritones, and basses, none is readily available for countertenors. Although there are online resources, it requires a great deal of research to verify the validity of those sources.

  • Sogno Di Scipione Di Mozart Progetto Atelier Della Fenice Al Teatro Malibran
    COMUNICATO STAMPA Venezia, febbraio 2019 Il sogno di Scipione di Mozart Progetto Atelier della Fenice al Teatro Malibran Il sogno di Scipione di Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, azione teatrale in un atto su libretto di Pietro Metastasio, sarà in scena per la prima volta sul palcoscenico del Teatro Malibran, nell’ambito della Stagione Lirica e Balletto 2018-2019 della Fondazione Teatro La Fenice di Venezia. La ‘serenata’ musicata dal salisburghese, composta intorno al 1771-1772, sarà proposta in un nuovo allestimento con la direzione musicale di Federico Maria Sardelli alla testa dell’Orchestra e Coro del Teatro La Fenice – maestro del Coro Claudio Marino Moretti – e in una messinscena coordinata dal tutor di regia Elena Barbalich realizzata in collaborazione con l’Accademia di Belle Arti di Venezia e nell’ambito del progetto Atelier della Fenice al Teatro Malibran. Alla prima di venerdì 8 febbraio ore 19.00, seguiranno quattro repliche: il 10, 12, 14 e 16 febbraio 2019. Il progetto è sostenuto dalla Michelangelo Foundation for Creativity and Craftsmanship. Settimo lavoro di Mozart (1756-1791) per il teatro, composto a soli sedici anni, Il sogno di Scipione vide la luce tra Ascanio in Alba e Lucio Silla, per essere rappresentato probabilmente il 29 aprile o l’1 maggio del ‘72 in occasione dell’arrivo a Salisburgo del nuovo arcivescovo Hieronymous Joseph Franz von Paula, conte di Colloredo. La narrazione allegorica del libretto, tratto dal Somnium Scipionis di Cicerone, ricalca piuttosto fedelmente la fonte letteraria antica: addormentatosi nella reggia del re alleato Massinissa, in Numidia, Scipione Emiliano sogna di essere nel cielo degli eroi, dove incontra Costanza e Fortuna, che gli chiedono di scegliere chi, tra loro, seguire.

  • IL RE PASTORE July 19 and 21 in San Francisco
    MEROLA OPERA PROGRAM CONTINUES ITS 61 ST SEASON WITH IL RE PASTORE July 19 and 21 in San Francisco SAN FRANCISCO, CA (6 June 2018) – San Francisco’s acclaimed Merola Opera Program presents the stars of tomorrow in Mozart’s Il re pastore . Merola is one of the most prestigious and selective opera training programs in the world, featuring 29 artists selected from more than 800 international applicants. This exquisite early Mozart work featuring a string of thrilling arias explores the competing pulls of love and duty, as a young shepherd finds he must renounce his true love in order to reclaim his lost throne. Il re pastore will be performed 7:30pm, Thursday, July 19, and 2:00pm, Saturday, July 21, at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music . For tickets or more information, visit www.merola.org or call ( 415) 864-3330. In the spring of 1775, 19-year-old Mozart wrote Il re pastore in response to a commission by the Archbishop of Salzburg. With a plot that explored the demands of love against the demands of kingship, the young Mozart’s work shines with its rich orchestration and ingenious score. In addition to fulsome dramatic singing from all five soloists, highlights include Aminta’s famous arias “Aer tranquillo e di sereni” and “L'amerò, sarò costante.” Performances will be conducted by Stephen Stubbs, a leading figure in the American early music scene and winner of a Grammy Award for Best Opera Recording in 2015 for Charpentier: La descente d’Orphée aux enfers. In 2007, Stubbs established his production company, Pacific MusicWorks, based in Seattle, reflecting his lifelong interest in both early music and contemporary performance.

  • Idomeneo​ Synopsis
    Idomeneo Synopsis ​ Background Helen, the beautiful wife of King Menelaus of Greece, was carried off by Paris, son of King Priam of Troy, triggering the Trojan War. Agamemnon, Menelaus's brother, rallied the other Greek kings and joined forces to lay siege to the city of Troy. One of Agamemnon's allies was King Idomeneo of Crete, whose army helped to deliver a victory over the Trojans. After ten long years of war, Idomeneo is finally on his way home. Some of his forces have already returned, bringing back Trojan captives including Priam's daughter, Princess Ilia. The ship carrying Ilia was hit by a storm and sank, but she was rescued from the waves by Idomeneo's son, Idamante. Upon his own return from war, Agamemnon was murdered by his wife, Clytemnestra, and her lover, Aegisthus; Elettra's brother, Orestes, took revenge on the unfaithful by killing them both. Elettra fled from their home in Argos, and is now taking refuge in Crete. ACT I Island of Crete, c. 1200 B.C. At the palace, Ilia is grieving for her father and ​ brothers who were killed by the Greek army in the siege on Troy. But while she hates Idomeneo, she has fallen in love with his son, Idamante, who has ruled Crete in his father's absence ("Padre, germani, addio!"-Father, brothers, farewell!). Although Idamante proclaims his love for her, Ilia, cannot bring herself to admit her feelings for him ("Non ho colpa"-I am not guilty). As a gesture of goodwill, Idamante releases the Trojan captives; they join the Cretans in rejoicing this newfound peace ("Godiam la pace"-Let us enjoy peace).
