Una stagione sempre molto attesa dal pubblico che, anche per quest’anno, segna la rinascita e la voglia di proseguire nella diffusione musicale del Teatro Lirico di Cagliari.

L’inaugurazione è affidata al doveroso omaggio, in occasione del bicentenario della nascita, a Giuseppe Verdi (Roncole di Busseto, Parma, 1813 - Milano, 1901), massimo operista italiano: Otello, dramma lirico in quattro atti, su libretto di Arrigo Boito, dalla tragedia omonima di William Shakespeare, e musica, appunto, di Verdi, va in scena per sei rappresentazioni, dal 2 al 10 maggio, per il XIII Festival di Sant’Efisio del Teatro Lirico di Cagliari. Lo spettacolo inaugurale, un stimolante allestimento dello scorso gennaio della Fondazione Lirico Sinfonica Petruzzelli e Teatri di Bari, conta dell’eccezionale regia di Eimuntas Nekrosius, geniale artista lituano, celebre in tutto il mondo dello spettacolo per aver curato importanti allestimenti teatrali e che ritorna a Cagliari dopo l’allestimento di La leggenda della città invisibile di Kitež e della fanciulla Fevronija di Nikolaj Rimskij-Korsakov che inaugurò la Stagione lirica e di balletto 2008, delle scene di Marius Nekrosius, dei costumi di Nadežda Gultiajeva e delle luci di Audrius Jankauskas che sfruttano tutte le potenzialità drammaturgiche dell’opera con pochi elementi scenici e colori assemblati con grande pulizia ed eleganza, oltre a movimenti essenziali, in un gioco di rimandi simbolici.

La poesía habla a nuestro espíritu, la música a nuestro oído, la pintura a nuestros ojos, y todo junto contribuye a conmover nuestro corazón. » Jean-Jacques Rousseau Ι Realismo del espacio escénico en La Bohème ABSTRACT El presente Trabajo de Fin de Grado pretende profundizar sobre los espacios creados en escena, cen- trándose en un caso de estudio concreto: la ópera La Bohème de Giacomo Puccini, en la producción del escenógrafo Giancarlo del Monaco representada en el Teatro Real de Madrid en 2006. El estudio buscará un punto de convergencia entre la arquitectura y la escenografía, con el objetivo de profundizar sobre la importancia del realismo en los espacios escénicos. Para ello, se realizará un primer acercamiento al contexto y arquitectura del París del siglo XIX, con el fin de establecer comparaciones entre la realidad existente de la época y el montaje de Del Mónaco. Se estudiarán igualmente los aspectos que envuelven a la obra, destacando aquellos que hacen única y especial a La Bohème, y la fusión que Puccini crea entre el Verismo y el Romanticismo. Partiendo de esta base, el trabajo estará basado en la reconstrucción del proceso de diseño en los distintos cuadros de La Bohème, abarcando el entendimiento de los espacios arquitectónicos concebidos en esce- na.

  • MARIO DEL MONACO Mario Del Monaco Belongs
    MARIO DEL MONACONACO – A CRITICAL APPROACH BY DANIELE GODOR, XII 2009 INTRODUCTION Mario del Monaco belongselongs to a group of singers whoho aare sacrosanct to many opera listeners.listene Too impressive are the existingexisti documents of his interpretationsations of Otello (no other tenor hasas momore recordings of the role of Otello than Del Monaco who claimed to haveha sung to role 427 times1), Radamdames, Cavaradossi, Samson, Don Josésé and so on. His technique is seenn as the non-plus-ultra by many singersgers aand fans: almost indefatigable – comparable to Lauritz Melchiorlchior in this regard –, with a solid twoo octaveocta register and capable of produciroducing beautiful, virile and ringing sound of great volume. His most importmportant teacher, Arturo Melocchi,, finallyfina became famous throughh DDel Monaco’s fame, and a new schoolscho was born: the so-called Melocchialocchians worked with the techniqueique of Melocchi and the bonus of the mostm well-established exponent of his technique – Mario del Monaco.naco. Del Monaco, the “Otello of the century”” and “the Verdi tenor” (Giancarlo del Monaco)2 is – as tthese attributes suggest – a singer almost above reproach and those critics, who pointed out someme of his shortcomings, were few. In the New York Times, the famous critic Olin Downes dubbed del MonacoM “the tenor of tenors” after del Monacoonaco’s debut as Andrea Chenier in New York.3 Forr manmany tenors, del Monaco was the great idoll and founder of a new tradition: On his CD issued by the Legato label, Lando Bartolini claims to bee a sinsinger “in the tradition of del Monaco”, and even Fabioabio ArmilA iato, who has a totally different type of voice,voi enjoys when his singing is put down to the “tradititradition of del Monaco”.4 Rodolfo Celletti however,wever, and in spite of his praise for Del Monaco’s “oddodd elelectrifying bit of phrasing”, recognized in DelDel MMonaco one of the 1 Chronologies suggest a much lower amount of performances.
