El Camino De Verdi Al Verismo: La Gioconda De Ponchielli the Road of Verdi to Verism: La Gioconda De Ponchielli
Revista AV Notas, Nº8 ISSN: 2529-8577 Diciembre, 2019 EL CAMINO DE VERDI AL VERISMO: LA GIOCONDA DE PONCHIELLI THE ROAD OF VERDI TO VERISM: LA GIOCONDA DE PONCHIELLI Joaquín Piñeiro Blanca Universidad de Cádiz RESUMEN Con Giuseppe Verdi se amplificaron y superaron los límites del Bel Canto representado, fundamentalmente, por Rossini, Bellini y Donizetti. Se abrieron nuevos caminos para la lírica italiana y en la evolución que terminaría derivando en la eclosión del Verismo que se articuló en torno a una nutrida generación de autores como Leoncavallo, Mascagni o Puccini. Entre Verdi y la Giovane Scuola se situaron algunos compositores que constituyeron un puente entre ambos momentos creativos. Entre ellos destacó Amilcare Ponchielli (1834-1886), profesor de algunos de los músicos más destacados del Verismo y autor de una de las óperas más influyentes del momento: La Gioconda (1876-1880), estudiada en este artículo en sus singularidades formales y de contenido que, en varios aspectos, hacen que se adelante al modelo teórico verista. Por otra parte, se estudian también cuáles son los elementos que conserva de los compositores italianos precedentes y las influencias del modelo estético francés, lo que determina que la obra y su compositor sean de complicada clasificación, aunque habitualmente se le identifique incorrectamente con el Verismo. Palabras clave: Ponchielli; Verismo; Giovane Scuola; ópera; La Gioconda; Italia ABSTRACT With Giuseppe Verdi, the boundaries of Bel Canto were amplified and exceeded, mainly represented by Rossini, Bellini and Donizetti. New paths were opened for the Italian lyric and in the evolution that would end up leading to the emergence of Verismo that was articulated around a large generation of authors such as Leoncavallo, Mascagni or Puccini.

Nomination Form International Memory of the World Register
1 Nomination form International Memory of the World Register Antonio Carlos Gomes: composer of two worlds ID[ 2016-73] 1.0 Summary (max 200 words) Antonio Carlos Gomes: composer of two worlds gathers together documents that are accepted, not only by academic institutions, but also because they are mentioned in publications, newspapers, radio and TV programs, by a large part of the populace; this fact reinforces the symbolic value of the collective memory. However, documents produced by the composer, now submitted to the MOW have never before been presented as a homogeneous whole, capable of throwing light on the life and work on this – considered the composer of the Americas – of the greatest international prominence. Carlos Gomes had his works, notably in the operatic field, presented at the best known theatres of Europe and the Americas and with great success, starting with the world première of his third opera – Il Guarany – at the Teatro alla Scala – in Milan on March 18, 1870. From then onwards, he searched for originality in music which, until then, was still dependent and influenced by Italian opera. As a result he projected Brazil in the international music panorama and entered history as the most important non-European opera composer. This documentation then constitutes a source of inestimable value for the study of music of the second half of the XIX Century. 2.0 Nominator 2.1 Name of nominator (person or organization) Arquivo Nacional (AN) - Ministério da Justiça - (Brasil) Escola de Música da Universidade Federal do Rio de

The Metropolitan Opera Presents Aida in HD
Visions and Voices and the USC Libraries have collaborated to create a series of resource guides that allow you to build on your experiences at many Visions and Voices events. Explore the resources listed below and continue your journey of inquiry and discovery! USC LIBRARIES RESOURCE GUIDE VISIONS AND VOICES and the USC SCHOOL OF CINEMATIC ARTS, in conjunction with the METROPOLITAN OPERA in New York, present the HD telecast of Giuseppe Verdi’s Aida. To help you learn more about Verdi’s masterpiece, ROSS SCIMECA of the USC LIBRARIES has selected the following resources. Introduction Giuseppe Verdi composed 28 operas during his lifetime. Aida is the 26th, followed by his late masterpieces, Otello and Falstaff. What is unique about Aida is that it is a grand opera, meaning it features extended choruses, ballets and marches composed in a theatrically spectacular style. Like Don Carlos, which preceded Aida by five years and premiered at the Paris Opera, Verdi brilliantly integrated these spectacular elements with the vocal elements of traditional opera. Camille du Locle took the plot for his French-language libretto for Aida from the work of Egyptologist Mariette Bey. The libretto was later translated into Italian verse by Antonio Ghislanzoni. Commissioned by the Khedive of Egypt, Aida premiered at the Italian Theatre in Cairo on December 24, 1871. It was a sensational success, as it was two months later at Milan’s La Scala. The opera reached New York’s Academy of Music on November 26, 1873. You can find the Italian-language libretto of Aida and an English translation in the Opera Classics Library by clicking on the Databases tab at: www.usc.edu/libraries/eresources.

Classics in Modern Society This year 2016 is the 400th anniversary of William Shakespeare’s death, and various related events have been organized worldwide, especially in the United Kingdom. For instance, Shakespeare’s Globe made a series of short films abridged from every work of Shakespeare titled The Complete Walk, which surely reminds the audience of‘The Complete Works’ of the great poet and dramatist. The title was originally the name of an event, in which members of the audience walk and visit each location along the South Bank and Bankside such as in front of National Theatre, in front of Tate Modern, on the riverside opposite Royal Festival Hall, to watch originally made short films mainly composed of excerpts from the Globe performances, silent movies and newly shot location films for this event. This was a free event provided on the 23rd and the 24th of April in commemoration of Shakespeare's birthday as well as his death. Edinburgh International Festival also offered three programs of Shakespeare among its nine theatrical events, Richard III by Berlin’s Schaubühne Theatre, Measure for Measure from Britain’s Cheek by Jowl and Moscow’s Pushkin Theatre and a French adaptation of Twelfth Night by the company Eat a Crocodile.

Schreiben gegen den Kanon ie Scapigliatura (1858–1880) ist eine Mailänder Künstlergruppe, die der jungen Generation nach der Einigung Italiens ein Sprachrohr sein möchte. Die Schrift- gegen den Kanon Schreiben La Scapigliatura. steller und Publizisten Arrigo und Camillo Boito, Giovan- ni Camerana, Emilio Praga und I.U.Tarchetti suchen nach Schreibweisen jenseits des nationalen Kanons. Während Francesco de Sanctis in seiner italienischen Literatur- geschichte dem gerade geeinten Italien sein ideologisches Fundament verleiht, können diese Autoren nur Trümmer des Nationalen erkennen. Sie pflegen ein Diskontinuitäts- und Generationsbewusstsein, neue Formen der Perfor- mativität, der literarischen Sprachkritik und feiern die Langeweile. Mit ihrer Kritik an den positivistischen Wis- senschaften bewegen sich die Scapigliati in ihren fantasti- schen, grotesken, morbiden Texten auf der Schwelle zur ästhetischen Moderne. Das vorliegende Buch ist die erste deutschsprachige Monographie zur Scapigliatura. Es versteht sich daher auch als Einführung in das Text- und Selbstverständnis der Gruppe und strebt eine Neubewer- tung ihrer Rolle in der Literatur- und Kulturgeschichte an.
