    Noteworthy 16-2006

    F.A.P. December 2OO7 Note-Worthy Music Stamps, Part 16 by Ethel Bloesch (Note: Part 16 describes stamps with musical notation that were issued in 2006.) ANTIGUA & BARBUDA Scott 2887 Michel 4353-4356 A sheet issued July 3, 2006 for the 250 th anniversary of the birth of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756- 1791). On the left side of the sheet are four stamps (three portraits of the young Mozart and a violin). The right side features a page of music superimposed on the unfinished portrait of Mozart by Joseph Lange, 1789. The music is the first page of the solo horn part to Mozart's Horn Concerto No. 3 in E-flat major, KV 447, now thought to have been written in 1787. The orchestration (clarinets and bassoons, rather than oboes and horns) and the lyrical musical style make this work more intimate and less extroverted than Mozart's three other horn concertos. ARMENIA Scott 730 Michel 540 A stamp issued March 28, 2006 for the 125 th anniversary of the birth of the Armenian musician Spiridon Melikian (1880-1933). His contributions to the musical culture of Armenia were wide- ranging: he engaged in expeditions to study Armenian folklore, wrote text-books and other musicological works, taught in the conservatory in Yerevan, and was one of the founders of the Armenian Choral Society. He also composed two children's operas, choral works, and songs. The stamp features a portrait of Melikian, with unidentified music in the background. AUSTRIA Scott 2067 Michel 2617 This stamp has been issued jointly by Austria and China on September 26, 2006.

Additional performances are March 20, 23, and 25 (matinee), 2018. Daniel Catán’s history with the Company goes back quite some time as San Diego Opera gave Catán’s opera, Rappacini’s Daughter, its American premiere, making him the first Mexican composer to have his work presented professionally in the United States. The success of Rapaccini’s Daughter led to international acclaim that resulted in the commissioning for Florencia en el Amazonas by Houston Grand Opera. Loosely inspired by Gabriel García Márquez’s novel, Love in the Time of Cholera, the opera follows the fictional opera singer Florencia Grimaldi as she returns to perform in her home town with the hopes of attracting the attention of her long lost love who has vanished in the Amazon forest collecting butterflies. As she journeys down the Amazon on a riverboat, Florencia becomes entwined in the lives of the other passengers whose conversations and passions lead her to self-realization and a metamorphosis.

    GRETCHEN KRUPP Mezzo-Soprano

    GRETCHEN KRUPP Mezzo-Soprano Named a Grand Finalist in the 2018 Metropolitan Opera National Council auditions, American mezzo-soprano Gretchen Krupp is gaining recognition in major competitions and festivals on the operatic scene. Ms. Krupp recently performed the role of Samira in Corigliano’s The Ghosts of Versailles in her European debut at the Château de Versailles Spectacles. She was also awarded the prestigious Georgina Joshi International Fellowship for opera studies in Berlin. In the summer of 2020, Gretchen was a Filene Artist with Wolf Trap Opera where she sang a number of virtual programs including excerpts from Eugene Onegin, Orfeo ed Euridice, and L’Orfeo. Her much-anticipated 2021 debut with The Dallas Opera as Tebaldo in Verdi’s Don Carlo, as well as standing by for Princess Eboli, Marcellina in Le nozze di Figaro and Sylvie in the world premiere of Talbot’s The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, was unfortunately canceled due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The 2018-2019 season included her return to the Glimmerglass Festival where she made role debuts as Samira in The Ghosts of Versailles and Mrs. Noye in Britten’s Noye’s Fludde. She made a mainstage debut with Greensboro Opera as the Witch in Hansel and Gretel, and role debuts as Cornelia in Giulio Cesare under the baton of Gary Thor Wedow, and Mè re Marie in Dialogues des Carmélites, directed by Francesca Zambello. In 2018 Gretchen debuted with the Glimmerglass Festival performing the roles of Chocholka, Woodpecker, and Innkeeper’s Wife in The Cunning Little Vixen. In 2017, she was a Studio Artist at Wolf Trap Opera in Vienna, VA.

    Percorso Didattico Su “Le Nozze Di Figaro” Di Mozart a Cura Di Benedetta Toni

    Percorso didattico su “Le Nozze di Figaro” di Mozart a cura di Benedetta Toni Scopriamo i personaggi dell’opera e l’intreccio attraverso le arie di rilievo: Arie di rilievo Atto I - Cavatina: "Se vuol ballare, signor Contino" (Figaro) - Aria: "Non so più cosa son, cosa faccio" (Cherubino) - Aria: "Non più andrai, farfallone amoroso" (Figaro) Atto II - Cavatina: "Porgi, amor, qualche ristoro" (Contessa) - Canzone: "Voi che sapete" (Cherubino) - Aria: "Venite, inginocchiatevi" (Susanna) Atto III - Recitativo e Aria: "Hai già vinta la causa! – Vedrò mentr'io sospiro" (Conte) - Recitativo e Aria: "E Susanna non vien – Dove sono i bei momenti" (Contessa) Atto IV - Cavatina: "L'ho perduta" (Barbarina) - Recitativo e Aria: "Tutto è disposto – Aprite un po' quegl'occhi" (Figaro) - Recitativo e Aria: "Giunse alfin il momento – Deh, vieni, non tardar" (Susanna) ATTO PRIMO Scena II: Se vuol ballare, signor Contino - Cavatina (Figaro) - Allegretto (fa maggiore). Presto. Allegretto. Presto - 2 oboi, 2 fagotti, 2 corni, archi N. 3 Cavatina Mozart, destinando a Figaro ben tre Arie (nn. 3,10 e 27b), più che a tutti gli altri personaggi, evidenzia la sua superiorità: in quanto personaggio maschile positivo mostra la sua sensibilità a cedere con prontezza alla ragione femminile, espressa da Susanna, e tramite la donna amata, compie un percorso iniziatico in cui mette alla prova sia la sua capacità di relazionarsi con il mondo, sia il controllo dei suoi sentimenti e delle sue emozioni. La cavatina, o aria di sortita, è l’aria con cui ciascun personaggio dell’opera lirica si presenta in scena. In questa cavatina, il primo assolo dell’opera, Figaro mostra il coraggio che lo anima, progettando una strategia per contrastare le macchinazioni (tutte le macchine rovescerò) del Conte che vuole sedurre Susanna, la cameriera della Contessa sua promessa sposa.

    Performer Biographies

    TOSCA Performer Biographies Making both her San Francisco Opera and role debuts as Tosca, soprano Carmen Giannattasio first received international notice after a first-place win at the 2002 Operalia competition in Paris, followed in 2007 by a tour-de-force performance as Violetta in Scottish Opera’s production of La Traviata. As equally comfortable in bel canto as she is in Verdi and Puccini, she has distinguished herself in the title role of Norma at Munich’s Bavarian State Opera, Violetta at the Metropolitan Opera, Mimì in La Bohème at the Deutsche Oper Berlin, Alice Ford in Falstaff at Teatro alla Scala and Vienna State Opera, Leonora in Il Trovatore at Vienna State Opera, and Nedda in Pagliacci at Dresden’s Semperoper and the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, among other roles. Upcoming engagements include Hélène in Les Vêpres Siciliennes at the Bavarian State Opera, Margherita in Mefistofele at the Bavarian State Opera and Chorégies d'Orange, and Amalia in I Masnadieri at the Opéra de Monte-Carlo. Tenor Brian Jagde (Mario Cavaradossi) made his San Francisco Opera debut in 2010 as Joe in La Fanciulla del West and most recently returned to the Company as Calaf in Turandot, Radames in Aida, Don José in Carmen, and Pinkerton in Madama Butterfly. Last season, Jagde made role debuts as Maurizio in Adriana Lecouvreur at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden and Froh in Das Rheingold in his first appearance with the New York Philharmonic.
