Gondek, Chair The fictional women presented to the public on the opera stages and in the noble houses of Italy during the seventeenth century did not resemble the societal feminine ideal of chastity, silence, obedience, and humility; on the contrary, they were strong-willed, eloquent, powerful, and sexually sentient. This dissertation will examine a few of the principal female characters from a selected number of early seventeenth-century operas and explore what these women represented in context of the patriarchal, highly misogynistic societies in which they were constructed. Furthermore, I will consider the implications of this information for issues of modern performance practice, and for the representation of these female characters in modern reproductions of the operas. Finally, I will discuss the influences of this research on my final DMA recital, a program of seventeenth-century arias and songs which personified the female stereotypes presented in this dissertation.

This thesis, aimed at performers as well as scholars, begins with a brief consideration of the cultural context of early public opera in Venice and the emergence of the musical language of tonality. It goes on to examine how, in setting Faustini’s text, Cavalli represents desire and sexuality, constructs character, and creates a musical narrative. Cavalli’s implementation of the precepts of the seconda prattica is also considered in terms of textural and rhetorical devices.

  • Musique De L'œil
    ARTAMAG' FOCUS MUSIQUE DE L’ŒIL 13 NOVEMBRE 2015 | JEAN-CHARLES HOFFELÉ La musique se voit dans la peinture vénitienne, mieux, elle se montre, de la trompette de la Gloire de Giuseppe Angeli au « concertino » qui accompagne les joueurs de cartes de Pietro Longhi nommant d’ailleurs son tableau. Instruments pour les scènes mythologiques ou les « moralités », fresques où se mirent la dramaturgie du théâtre d’opéra que Venise invente puis réinvente sans cesse, concerts de cordes et de bois qui rappellent la pratique instrumentale intimement liée aux Ospedali, c’est tout ce répertoire pictural qu’Olivier Lexa parcourt au long des deux cent pages du livre d’art qu’il consacre à ce sujet inusable : « La musique à Venise ». Période : de Monteverdi à Vivaldi ; sujet : toiles, fresques, apparat, pratique domestique, et évidemment opéra où entre décors, costumes, dramaturgie, l’auteur suit l’évolution du goût vénitien. En refermant cet ouvrage magnifique qui va chercher parfois dans les parts les moins courues du répertoire pictural de la Sérénissime, je me dis que le sujet n’avait pas été traité avec tant d’à propos et une si profonde sensibilité. C’est qu’Olivier Lexa « entend » cette peinture musicale dans les deux acceptations du terme. Il est l’auteur de la première biographie française de l’autre père de l’opéra vénitien avec Monteverdi, Francesco Cavalli – en fait pour moi, son véritable créateur – un ouvrage très documenté au style enlevé que l’on retrouve toujours aussi brillant et juste dans le nouveau venu, comme dans le prologue qui pare le magnifique livre-disque concocté par Mariana Florès et Leonardo García Alarcón, où se résume en ses pages les plus éloquentes ou les plus touchantes tout le théâtre lyrique de Cavalli.

  • The Glimmerglass Festival
    A 2017 Guide FEATURE ARTICLE Training Opera’s Next Generation A Tale of Two Festivals April 2017 Festivals Editor’s Note In our largest and most varied Guide to Summer Festivals yet, we focus on a common thread: training the next generation of performers and the artistic personnel who support them. At many festivals, young artists receive private lessons, coaching sessions, master classes, or all of the above during the day. By night they are either performing, observing the seasoned pros who train them by day, or a combination of the two. But honing or developing the skills of tomorrow’s generation of musicians is only part of the equation. It’s summertime, after all, and while the living may not exactly be “easy,” it’s certainly a lot more relaxed than during the season or school year. Consider the difference between waiting in the green-room line post-concert A 2017 Guide to shake the maestro’s hand vs. running into him in the festival cafeteria line, or at the local pub after the concert, or on a morning jog. Such is the kind of cross-fertilization for which festivals are known, and one of the reasons they are such ideal settings for rising artists. Sometimes the trainees are fully integrated into the schedule, such as at the Santa Fe Opera, where young artists are featured, often in leading roles. Sometimes they work independently of the main event, such as at Tanglewood, where the Tanglewood Music Center Orchestra, for instance, is comprised entirely of TMC Fellows and plays its own concerts, alongside the center-stage Boston Symphony Orchestra (whose members form much of the faculty).
