New Release Verdi Originals GIUSEPPE VERDI DON CARLOS Joseph Rouleau André Turp Robert Savoie Edith Tremblay Michelle Vilma CATALOGUE NUMBER ORCV305 (4CD) With this release of Don Carlos, acknowledged today as Verdi’s noblest opera, Opera Rara completes its series of Verdi Originals – the five operas restored to their very first versions and given as concert performances by the BBC. Verdi’s commission from the Paris Opera was for a five-act grand opera in the style of Meyerbeer or Halévy. Grand indeed, for the scale of Verdi’s conception was monumental. However, in his enthusiasm, Verdi composed an opera that was considered, even for French taste, too long. As rehearsals progressed, it became necessary to make cuts, some of them substantial. It is not hard to imagine Verdi’s dismay at this point and, after the first performance, he left Paris, never having heard his opera as originally composed. The eliminated music remained unheard and was forgotten until David Rosen and Andrew Porter began reassembling the opera according to Verdi’s original plan. Conceived by the BBC’s Chief Producer for radio, Julian Budden and with a largely Francophone cast, the 1973 BBC “restored” Don Carlos was a revelation. The restored passages were, of course, a great discovery but the real excitement came with the first ever opportunity to fully experience and comprehend Verdi’s original intentions for this magnificent opera. Included in this superb package is a 300 page beautifully illustrated booklet which, in addition to a four language libretto and synopsis (Italian, German, French and English), features an introductory note by Andrew Porter.

Zealot, Patriot, Spy? : Verdi's Marquis De Posa by Thomas Hampson
Zealot, Patriot, Spy? : Verdi’s Marquis de Posa by Thomas Hampson “There is nothing historical in this drama, so why not?” With these words rang a defense – at the same time a posture – Verdi adopted for the creation of Don Carlos. While the quote, written to his publisher G. Ricordi, pertains to the specific scene of the apparition of Charlemagne at the end of Act V, it is, nevertheless, hugely relevant when entertaining any reflections on Verdi’s Don Carlos. Already historically compromised by the great German poet-dramatist Friedrich Schiller, who, in fact, relied heavily on the occasionally embellished-interpreted history of Vischard de Saint Real, the story of Don Carlos presents a complex backdrop of political-religious (i.e. public) conflict by which the very personal dilemmas of love, jealousy, family, and faith are brought into sharp relief. Verdi’s genius in the articulation of the more-often-than-not catastrophic result of a personal passion pitted against various social, religious, or political contexts is well manifest in such works as Luisa Miller, I due Foscari, La Forza del Destino, Rigoletto, and, of course, La Traviata. However, with Don Carlos, the essentially metaphoric use of historical context as exposé of these conflicts accomplishes something remarkable in the theatre, and that is the recreation of the ambiguity of successive moments found in reality. There is no scene in the opera that ends in the same political or even personal context in which its starts. There is no formula for the tying together of scenes or even of acts – i.e.
