Gli Esiliati in Siberia, Exile, and Gaetano Donizetti Alexander Weatherson
Gli esiliati in Siberia, exile, and Gaetano Donizetti Alexander Weatherson How many times did Donizetti write or rewrite Otto mesi in due ore. No one has ever been quite sure: at least five times, perhaps seven - it depends how the changes he made are viewed. Between 1827 and 1845 he set and reset the music of this strange but true tale of heroism - of the eighteen-year-old daughter who struggled through snow and ice for eight months to plead with the Tsar for the release of her father from exile in Siberia, making endless changes - giving it a handful of titles, six different poets supplying new verses (including the maestro himself), with- and-without spoken dialogue, with-and-without Neapolitan dialect, with-and-without any predictable casting (the prima donna could be a soprano, mezzo-soprano or contralto at will), and with-and-without any very enduring resolution at the end so that this extraordinary work has an even-more-fantastic choice of synopses than usual. It was this score that stayed with him throughout his years of international fame even when Lucia di Lammermoor and Don Pasquale were taking the world by storm. It is perfectly possible in fact that the music of his final revision of Otto mesi in due ore was the very last to which he turned his stumbling hand before mental collapse put an end to his hectic career. How did it come by its peculiar title? In 1806 Sophie Cottin published a memoir in London and Paris of a real-life Russian heroine which she called 'Elisabeth, ou Les Exilés de Sibérie'. -

Rethinking Operatic Masculinity: Nicola Tacchinardi's Aria Substitutions and the Heroic Archetype in Early Nineteenth-Century

Upon his retirement in 1833, the tenor Nicola Tacchinardi chastised musico performers – women who sang male roles – for their unconvincing portrayal of operatic heroes. Rather than complain about their high-lying voices, he chose to criticise these women’s feminine appearance and idiosyncratic stage behaviours as unmasculine. Tacchinardi’s criteria for gender performance, then, sidestepped embodied vocality and centred on performer appearance and behaviour in specific narrative situations. My study explores how Tacchinardi and his contemporaries employed aria substitution in heroic roles as a means for plot substitution, forgoing arias of dramatic stasis for dynamic scenes that showcase decisive action and augmented narrative significance. In this pre-Duprez milieu, before the onset of predetermined physiology in operatic discourse, male singers across the 1820s achieved an explicitly masculine self- definition not through voice, but as masters of textual control. Aria substitutions in the operas La Sacerdotessa d’Irminsul, La donna del lago and Norma demonstrate how singers established the compo- nents of masculine-heroic conventions through sensitive consideration of dramaturgy. -

1 THE STORY OF OPERA: UCT Summer School 2021: Lecture 3: THE ITALIANS, from Rossini to Puccini Presented by Elizabeth Handley – MUSIC OF NOTE ♫ I ITALIAN OPERA IN THE PRIMO OTTOCENTO (1800-1850) INTRODUCTION - Early 19th C ItalY: new works expected every season -> a system of rapid production, self-borrowing and plagiarism. Quantity rather than quality. Opera house the centre of Italian social life. - The aria del sorbetto (sorbet aria) and the aria di baule ( [trunk] aria). - Opera seria – still the most prestigious genre for star singers: splendid sets and costumes, expensive. - Castrati phased out -> new types of singer emerged. Tenors allotted more major roles. - A new breed of singing actress, eg. Isabella Colbran (1785-1845) & Giuditta Pasta (1797-1865). 1. Gioachino Antonio Rossini (1792 – 1868) - The most creative and influential opera composer of the early 19th C. - Developed new musical forms, eg. the cavatina (slow) & virtuosic cabaletta (fast); the scena (scene). - The “Rossini crescendo”: to increase the excitement. - Jenny Lind (1820-87): the “Swedish Nightingale”. Recommended Listening: La Scala di Seta (1812): Overture Il Signor Beruschino (1812): Overture Tancredi (1812-13): Di tanti palpiti L’Italiana in Algeri (1813): Overture Il Barbiere di Siviglia (1816) - same Beaumarchais play as Mozart’s Le Nozze di Figaro: Ecco ridente in cielo, La calunnia e un venticello, Fredda ed immobile, Buona sera, mio signore Otello (1816) La Cenerentola (1816-17): Signor, una parola, Nacqui all’affanno...Non piu mesta La Gazza Ladra (1817): Overture Mosè in Egito (1818): Dal tuo stellato soglo Semiramide (1822-23): Overture, Bel raggio lusinghier (coloratura) Le Comte Ory (1828) William Tell (1828-29): Overture Stabat Mater and Petite messe solonelle Donizetti and the “Rossiniani” 2. -

In 1824 the French biographer Stendhal provided a monologue of Rossini's reasoning behind his florid tunes. The monologue however was fictitious and may have contributed to a blurred understanding of the composer's style amongst later researchers.
