10-12-2019 Turandot Mat.Indd
Synopsis Act I Legendary Peking. Outside the Imperial Palace, a mandarin reads an edict to the crowd: Any prince seeking to marry Princess Turandot must answer three riddles. If he fails, he will die. The most recent suitor, the Prince of Persia, is to be executed at the moon’s rising. Among the onlookers are the slave girl Liù, her aged master, and the young Calàf, who recognizes the old man as his long-lost father, Timur, vanquished King of Tartary. Only Liù has remained faithful to the king, and when Calàf asks her why, she replies that once, long ago, Calàf smiled at her. The mob cries for blood but greets the rising moon with a sudden fearful reverence. As the Prince of Persia goes to his death, the crowd calls upon the princess to spare him. Turandot appears in her palace and wordlessly orders the execution to proceed. Transfixed by the beauty of the unattainable princess, Calàf decides to win her, to the horror of Liù and Timur. Three ministers of state, Ping, Pang, and Pong, appear and also try to discourage him, but Calàf is unmoved. He reassures Liù, then strikes the gong that announces a new suitor. Act II Within their private apartments, Ping, Pang, and Pong lament Turandot’s bloody reign, hoping that love will conquer her and restore peace. Their thoughts wander to their peaceful country homes, but the noise of the crowd gathering to witness the riddle challenge calls them back to reality. In the royal throne room, the old emperor asks Calàf to reconsider, but the young man will not be dissuaded. -

Angelica Forti-Lewis Mito, spettacolo e società: Il teatro di Carlo Gozzi e il femminismo misogino della sua Turandot Alla Commedia dell'Arte Carlo Gozzi si rifece, almeno inizialmente, perché gli offriva uno spettacolo da contrastare al teatro di Goldoni, di Chiari e, più tardi, al nuovo dramma borghese e alla comédie larmoyante. A questo scopo l'Improvvisa poteva offrirgli aiuti preziosi: la teatralità pura degli intrecci, svincolati da ogni rapporto con la vita reale e contemporanea; le Maschere, cioè tipizzazioni astrat- te; il buffonesco delle trovate comiche che, insieme alle maschere, escludeva ogni possibile idealizzazione delle classi inferiori, degradate a oggetto di comico; e, infine, il carattere nazionale della Commedia, che escludeva qualsiasi intrusione forestiera. Ma anche se Gozzi si erge a strenuo difensore della Commedia dell'Arte, è chiaro che le sue fiabe hanno in realtà ben poco a che fare con l'Improvvisa e il loro tono, sempre dominato da personaggi seri, è ben più drammatico, mentre le varie trame non sono ricavate dalla solita tradizione scenica ma da racconti ita- liani ed orientali, nel loro adattamento teatrale parigino della Foire. L'esotismo e la magia, inoltre, erano anch'essi elementi ignoti alla Commedia dell'Arte e la lo- ro fusione con la continua polemica letteraria sono chiara indicazione di come il commediografo fosse ben altro che un mero restauratore di scenari improvvisati. Trionfano nelle fiabe i valori tradizionali, dall'amor coniugale {Re Cervo, Tu- randot, Donna serpente e Mostro Turchino), all'amore fraterno, la fedeltà e la virtù della semplicità (Corvo, Pitocchi fortunati e Zeim re de' Geni). -
A Countertenor's Reference Guide to Operatic Repertoire
A COUNTERTENOR’S REFERENCE GUIDE TO OPERATIC REPERTOIRE Brad Morris A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF MUSIC May 2019 Committee: Christopher Scholl, Advisor Kevin Bylsma Eftychia Papanikolaou © 2019 Brad Morris All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Christopher Scholl, Advisor There are few resources available for countertenors to find operatic repertoire. The purpose of the thesis is to provide an operatic repertoire guide for countertenors, and teachers with countertenors as students. Arias were selected based on the premise that the original singer was a castrato, the original singer was a countertenor, or the role is commonly performed by countertenors of today. Information about the composer, information about the opera, and the pedagogical significance of each aria is listed within each section. Study sheets are provided after each aria to list additional resources for countertenors and teachers with countertenors as students. It is the goal that any countertenor or male soprano can find usable repertoire in this guide. iv I dedicate this thesis to all of the music educators who encouraged me on my countertenor journey and who pushed me to find my own path in this field. v PREFACE One of the hardships while working on my Master of Music degree was determining the lack of resources available to countertenors. While there are opera repertoire books for sopranos, mezzo-sopranos, tenors, baritones, and basses, none is readily available for countertenors. Although there are online resources, it requires a great deal of research to verify the validity of those sources. -
La Voix Humaine
LA VOIX HUMAINE BARBARA HANNIGAN soprano et direction ORCHESTRE PHILHARMONIQUE DE RADIO FRANCE BARBARA HANNIGAN CHANTE ET DIRIGE LA VOIX HUMAINE Après avoir interprété La Voix humaine dans la mise en scène de Krszysztof Warli- kowski à l’Opéra de Paris (2015, 2018), Barbara Hannigan imagine une nouvelle interprétation de « Elle », le personnage de Poulenc, cette fois dans le double rôle de chanteuse et de chef d’orchestre. Le vidéaste Denis Guéguin, qui travaille depuis 2003 avec Krszysztof Warli- kowski, se joint à la chanteuse à la faveur d’une production originale qui mêle projection vidéo en direct et film pré-enregistré ; on y voit le personnage, pris dans son propre fantasme, diriger l’orchestre. Cette performance télescope une mise en abîme sur le thème de la transformation, et une technique de direction d’orchestre peu orthodoxe qui accentue le drame psychologique. En préambule à ce drame lyrique, Barbara Hannigan dirige les Métamorphoses de Richard Strauss : la même « Elle », qui chante et dirige Poulenc, emmène le spectateur dans la réflexion de Strauss sur la transcendance, le passage d’un monde à l’autre. « Ce spectacle est l’aboutissement d’une vie en constante évolution, raconte Barbara Hannigan. “Elle” a été un rôle important pour moi au fur et à mesure de l’évolution de ma carrière, et nous voyons maintenant une “Elle” qui chante, une “Elle” qui dirige. Le thème de la transformation est présent tout au long du pro- gramme à plusieurs degrés, alors que nous sommes confrontés à des problèmes tels que le vieillissement, la détérioration, la décadence, la perte et la désintégra- tion. -
Federica Marsico a Queer Approach to the Classical Myth of Phaedra in Music
Federica Marsico A Queer Approach to the Classical Myth of Phaedra in Music Kwartalnik Młodych Muzykologów UJ nr 34 (3), 7-28 2017 Federica Marsico UNIVERSITY OF PAVIA A Queer Approach to the Classical Myth of Phaedra in Music The Topic In the second half of the 20th century, the myth of Phaedra, according to which the wife of King Theseus of Athens desperately falls in love with her stepson Hippolytus, was set to music by three homosexual compos- ers in the following works: the dramatic cantata Phaedra for mezzo- soprano and small orchestra (1976) by Benjamin Britten (1913-1976) after a text by the American poet Robert Lowell, the opera Le Racine: pianobar pour Phèdre (1980) by Sylvano Bussotti (1931) after a libretto drafted by the Italian composer himself and consisting of a prologue, three acts, and an intermezzo, and, last but not least, the two-act con- cert opera Phaedra (2007) by Hans Werner Henze (1926-2012) after a libretto by the German poet Christian Lehnert.1 1 In the second half of the century, other musical adaptations of the myth were also composed, namely the one-act opera Phèdre by Marcel Mihalovici (1898–1986) after a text by Yvan Goll and consisting in a prologue and five scenes (1951), the chamber opera Syllabaire pour Phèdre by Maurice Ohana (1913–1992) after a text by Raphaël Cluzel (1968), and the monodrama Phaedra for mezzo-soprano and orchestra by George Rochberg (1918–2005) after a text by Gene Rosenfeld (1976). 7 Kwartalnik Młodych Muzykologów UJ, nr 34 (3/2017) This paper summarizes the results of a three-year research project (2013–2015)2 that has proved that the three above-mentioned homo- sexual composers wilfully chose a myth consistent with an incestu- ous—and thus censored—form of love in order to portray homoerotic desire, which the coeval heteronormative society of course labelled as deviant and hence condemned. -

“Im Kampf, Penthesilea Und Achill”. Pentesilea Y Aquiles: ¿Kleist Y Goethe?
“Im Kampf, Penthesilea und Achill”. Pentesilea y Aquiles: ¿Kleist y Goethe? Raúl TORRES MARTÍNEZ Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México Este pequeño ensayo pretende revisar la vieja teoría del agón literario entre Heinrich von Kleist y Johann Wolfgang Goethe, aportando algo novedoso desde el punto de vista de la Grecística, y tomando, a modo de ilustración, elementos de la tragedia Pentesilea del escritor prusiano. La Antigüedad, la androginia y el agón mismo son puntos de partida desde los que podemos sacar provecho al aproximarnos al llamado Goethezeit. PALABRAS CLAVE: mitología griega, homoerotismo, Kleist, Pentesilea, Goethezeit, Goethe. This little essay aims at elaborating on the old theory of the literary agon between the german poets Heinrich von Kleist and Johann. Wolfgang Goethe. It provides some Greek elements until almost unnoticed to modern scholars, taking, as a sort of example, the tragedy Penthesilea of the prusian author. Greek antiquity, an- drogyny and the agon itself, are points of view from wich we may win new perspectives in approaching the so-called Goethezeit. KEYWORDS: Greek mythology, homoerotism, Kleist, Penthesilea, Goethezeit, Goethe. I Wilhelm von Humboldt, en un locus classicus (Humboldt, 2002: 609) hoy, sin embar- go, casi desconocido, “Acerca de la diferencia entre los sexos y su influjo sobre la naturaleza orgánica”, publicado en 1795 en Die Horen, la revista de Schiller, dice a la letra: “La naturaleza no sería naturaleza sin él [sc. el concepto de sexo], su meca- nismo se detendría y, tanto la atracción (“Zug”) que une a todos los seres, como la lucha que todos necesitan para armarse con la energía que a cada uno le es propia, desaparecerían, si en lugar de la diferencia de sexos tuviéramos una igualdad aburrida y floja” (Humboldt, 2002: 268).
