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. I risultati più notevoli riguardano "La Gioconda" per Amilcare Ponchielli, per la quale utilizza lo pseudonimo di Tobia Gorrio, anagramma del suo nome, "Otello" (1883) e "Falstaff" (1893) per Giuseppe Verdi. Altri libretti sono "Amleto" per Faccio, la "Falce" per Alfredo Catalani e il rifacimento del testo del "Simon Boccanegra" (1881) di Verdi. La sua produzione si compone anche di poesie, novelle e saggi critici, soprattutto per la "Gazzetta musicale". Le sue poesie ripercorrono quasi sempre il tema disperato e romantico del conflitto fra il bene e il male, e il "Mefistofele" costituisce il suo esempio più emblematico. Boito Scrive una seconda opera intitolata "Ero e Leandro", ma insoddisfatto la distrugge; poi inizia la composizione di un'opera che lo impegnerà per anni, il "Nerone". Nel 1901 pubblica il relativo testo letterario, ma non riesce a portare a termine l'opera, la quale verrà completata in seguito da Arturo Toscanini e Vincenzo Tommasini .

Scapigliatura 2001
La Scapigliatura: una bohème all’italiana Michele Girardi Non esiste introduzione migliore alla nozione di ‘Scapigliatura’, sostantivo quanto mai polisenso (fino al limite della genericità), della prosa di Honoré de Balzac, nelle pagine iniziali di Un prince de bohème (1840): La Bohème, qu’il faudrait appeler la Doctrine du boulevard des Italiens, se com- pose de jeunes gens tous âgés de plus de vingt ans, mais qui n’en ont pas trente, tous hommes de génie dans leur genre, peu connus encore, mais qui se feront connaître, et qui seront alors des gens fort distingués […]. On y rencontre des écrivains, des administrateurs, des militaires, des journalistes, des artistes! Enfin tous les genres de capacité, d’esprit y sont représentés. C’est un microcosme. […] La Bohême n’a rien et vit de ce qu’elle a. L’Espérance est sa religion, la Foi en soi-même est son code, la Charité passe pour être son budget. Tous ces jeunes gens sont plus grands que leur malheur, au-dessous de la fortune, mais au-dessus du destin. Lo scrittore si riferisce al termine francese «bohème», che sta alla base anche del movimento italiano, tanto che molti vocabolari, alla voce «Scapigliatu- ra», vi rimandano, corredandolo di definizioni estensive, come «sregolatezza di vita e di costumi; comportamento o azione libertina», che si legge, ad e- sempio, nel Dizionario della lingua italiana di Tullio De Mauro. Il movi- mento scapigliato è dunque difficile da definire, implica di per sé componen- ti eterogenee, e ha esiti artistici, oltre che in altri campi, altrettanto moltepli-

Franco Faccio's Amleto (Hamlet)
Review Franco Faccio’s Amleto (Hamlet) To Be or Not to Be Shakespeare By Karen Nafziger November 2014 Amleto (Hamlet) Composer: Franco Faccio Librettist: Arrigo Boito Premiered 1865, Revised in 1871 Cast Amleto: Alex Richardson, Tenor Ofelia: Abla Lynn Hamz, Soprano Claudio: Shannon A. DeVine, Baritone Geltrude: Caroline Worra Soprano Spettro/Luciano: Matthew Curran, Bass Laerte: Roland Sanz, Tenor Orazio: Eric Bash, Bass Conductor: Anthony Barrese Pianist: Michael Dauphinais Franco Faccio Baltimore Concert Opera Baltimore, Maryland On October 2 and October 5, 2014, audiences in Baltimore, Maryland were part of opera history, as they enjoyed the revival of Franco Faccio’s Amleto, (“Hamlet”), an opera which had been lost to mankind for nearly 150 years. Presented as a concert performance with excellent piano accompaniment by Michael Dauphinais, this performance was a prelude to the full staging, with the same cast, by Opera Southwest in Albuquerque, New Mexico three weeks later. Amleto, written by the 25 year old Faccio, does not reach the standard of a masterpiece by a Giuseppe Verdi (1813-1901), but it is definitely worthy of performance, and Conductor Anthony Barrese has given mankind a wonderful gift in reviving this lost work, after years of researching in the Ricordi archives and reconstructing it from historical documents. The work received an overwhelmingly enthusiastic response both in Baltimore and in Albuquerque, where it was staged with costumes, settings and a full orchestra. However, it must be said that the staged performance, which was streamed online, was marred by the very flawed decision of artistic director, David Bartholomew to set this opera in early 20th century! As he told the Albuquerque Journal News, “It is not in period.

Italian Literature Within Narrative, Poetry and the Stage
Université Catholique de Louvain - COURSES DESCRIPTION FOR 2016-2017 - LROM2851 LROM2851 Italian Literature within Narrative, Poetry 2016-2017 and the Stage 5.0 credits 15.0 h 2q Teacher(s) : Maeder Costantino ; Language : Italien Place of the course Louvain-la-Neuve Prerequisites : Bachelor in ROM or ROGE, with a minor subject in Italian or equivalent. Main themes : Depending on the annual program, in this course we study some of the main authors of Italian literature (from the Middle Ages to the XX century). Students are taught to reflect on the genesis of three literary works (one in verse, one in prose, and a play for the theatre) through study of a body of texts and drafts. This allows students to understand the mechanisms and the challenges of writing (on the part of the author), of reading, of interpreting and of editing (in terms of scholarly critique) which all intervene in the production and the reception of literary work. Aims : By the end of the course, students are expected to be able to: a) read, analyze and interpret a literary text using the methodologies described and adopted in the course, b) place a literary text within its cultural, linguistic, aesthetic, literary, and scriptural context, c) identify and interpret different textual levels and their interactions. The contribution of this Teaching Unit to the development and command of the skills and learning outcomes of the programme(s) can be accessed at the end of this sheet, in the section entitled “Programmes/courses offering this Teaching Unit”. Evaluation methods : - Presentation - Oral exam: verification of reading - Written work Teaching methods : Lectures with student presentations Content : Italian opera has had a tremendous social, cultural and political impact in Europe and around the world.

Arrigo Boito
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 Mila no. In questo periodo, muore la madre l'11 giugno 1859, si stabilisce a Milano Camillo, il fratello primogenito, che gli saràsempre prodigo di sostegno e d'affetto e che lo introdurrà, in anni successivi, in alcuni tra i più importanti salotti culturali de lla città . Finiti gli studi si reca a Parigi con Franco Faccio dove prende contatto con Gioacchino Rossini, quando questi viveva alla periferia della capitale francese. Verdi incarica Boito di scrivere le parole per un Inno delle nazioni da eseguirsi dura nte la cerimonia inaugurale dell'Esposizione internazionale di Londra il 24 maggio 1862. Arrigo botto viaggeràpoi in Polonia, Germania, Belgio e Inghilterra. Torna a Milano e, nella metropoli lombarda guadagna una posizione di rilievo nel movimento della Scapigliatura, partecipa alla vita di salotti come quello della contessa Maffei, quello meno celebre e meno tradizionalista di donna Vittoria Cima e quello dei conti Lurani, si legò d'amicizia tra l'altro con E. Praga, G. Camerana, G. Verga, L. Capuana, L . Gualdo, G. Giacosa, col quale stabilisce una vera e propria fraternità d'arte. Il sodalizio col Praga dà vita a una commedia in prosa scritta in collaborazione, Le madri galanti, male accolta dal pubblico del Teatro Carignano di Torino nel marzo del 186 3, e alla condirezione, con l'aiuto di B. Zendrini, dell'ebdomadario Figaro, distintosi, dal gennaio al marzo 1864, per le violente polemiche letterarie, specialmente contro la scuola manzoniana, in nome di un'arte anticonformista e realista.
