Doctoral Dissertations. 580. https://opencommons.uconn.edu/dissertations/580 ABSTRACT The Rise of the Tenor Voice in the Late Eighteenth Century: Mozart’s Opera and Concert Arias Joshua Michael May University of Connecticut, 2014 W. A. Mozart’s opera and concert arias for tenor are among the first music written specifically for this voice type as it is understood today, and they form an essential pillar of the pedagogy and repertoire for the modern tenor voice. Yet while the opera arias have received a great deal of attention from scholars of the vocal literature, the concert arias have been comparatively overlooked; they are neglected also in relation to their counterparts for soprano, about which a great deal has been written. There has been some pedagogical discussion of the tenor concert arias in relation to the correction of vocal faults, but otherwise they have received little scrutiny. This is surprising, not least because in most cases Mozart’s concert arias were composed for singers with whom he also worked in the opera house, and Mozart always paid close attention to the particular capabilities of the musicians for whom he wrote: these arias offer us unusually intimate insights into how a first-rank composer explored and shaped the potential of the newly-emerging voice type of the modern tenor voice. -

On Opera (On Opera) Self-Referential Negotiations of a Difficult Genre
Opera on Opera (on Opera) Self-Referential Negotiations of a Difficult Genre Frieder von Ammon, Munich This paper focuses on metaopera as a distinctive dramatic genre and examines it from both a systematic and a historical perspective. It is demonstrated that, due to its specific structural complexity, metaopera is located at the very centre of the wide field of ‘Self-Reference in Literature and Music’. It is through music that in metaopera the potential for dramatic meta-communication is considerably higher than in purely verbal drama. Furthermore, metaopera is a subject worthy of close study also for the cultural historian as, from its very beginnings, opera has contin- uously been a self-reflexive genre. Thus operas, as metaoperas, frequently tell the story of the cultural development of opera itself. Such metareferential conditions are demonstrated in this paper by a close analysis of Hofmannsthal and Strauss’ Ariadne auf Naxos, which, in the light of earlier metaoperas, is interpreted as an example of meta-metaopera representing operatic metareferentiality to the highest degree. The 7th of February, 1786, is an important date in the history of self- reference in literature and music. In honour of the Low Countries’ general governor, Duke August of Sachsen-Teschen, and his wife, the German emperor, Joseph II, had arranged a special event for this day. It took place in the orangery of Castle Schönbrunn in Vienna, for that was the only room with an appropriate heating system, and it bore the beautiful title ‘Frühlingsfest an einem Wintertag’ (‘Spring Festival on a Winter’s Day’). One is, however, tempted to speak of a ‘Festival of Self-Reference’ instead. -

Concerts of February 20 and 21, 2015 Notes on the Program by Ken
Concerts of February 20 and 21, 2015 Notes on the Program by Ken Meltzer Overture to Der Schauspieldirektor (The Impresario), K. 486 (1786) Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was born in Salzburg, Austria, on January 27, 1756, and died in Vienna, Austria, on December 5, 1791. The first performance The Impresario took place at the Schönbrunn Palace, Vienna, on February 7, 1786. The Overture to Impresario is scored for two flutes, two oboes, two clarinets, two bassoons, two horns, two trumpets, timpani, and strings. Approximate performance time is five minutes. 1786 was incredibly productive for Mozart, even by his lofty standards. During that year, Mozart completed his opera buffa masterpiece, Le nozze di Figaro, the singspiel, Der Schauspieldirektor, and a revision of his earlier opera seria, Idomeneo. Mozart also composed several chamber pieces, solo vocal works, his Fourth Horn Concerto, K. 495, and three Piano Concertos—No. 23 in A Major, K. 488, No. 24 in C minor, K. 491, and No. 25 in C Major, K. 503. Der Schauspieldirektor (The Impresario), alternating spoken dialogue and sung music, tells the story of an impresario’s struggles to control the egos of two operatic divas. With its humorous depiction of operatic backstage intrigue, The Impresario is a predecessor to Richard Strauss’s Ariadne auf Naxos (see, below). While The Impresario is rarely performed as a complete work, its vibrant Overture has long enjoyed a favored place in the concert hall. Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme (Der Bürger aus Edelmann), Suite, Opus 60 (1918) Richard Strauss was born in Munich, Germany, on June 11, 1864, and died in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany, on September 8, 1949. -

Program Notes 7:30pm Saturday, February 7, 2015 Heritage Center 2:00pm Sunday, February 8, 2015 University of Dubuque WILLIAM INTRILIGATOR, Music Director & Conductor Overture to The Impresario WOLFGANG AMADEUS MOZART In the winter of 1786, Mozart had to suspend work on his opera The Marriage of Figaro to whip up a little concoction called Der Schauspieldirektor or The Impresario for a command performance before Emperor Joseph II and other royal guests at Vienna’s Schönbrunn Palace. Indeed, the Emperor had even dictated the details of the plot of this brief Singspiel or operetta with spoken dialogue. It was to involve the frantic efforts of an impresario in Salzburg (Mozart’s own hometown) to put on a show despite the prima donna antics of two rival sopranos: Madame Herz (Heart) and Mademoiselle Silberklang (Silver Tone). b. 1756, Salzburg, Austria d. 1791, Vienna, Austria Because of the spoken dialogue, all Mozart had to compose was an overture, two suitably showy arias for the sopranos, and two ensembles. Paired with The Impresario was a brief opera in Italian, Prima la musica e poe le parole (“First the Music, Then the Words”) by Mozart’s supposed rival, Antonio Salieri (of Amadeus fame). The occasion and both works were a great success. The palace’s elegant Orangerie was the setting, and a contemporary newspaper described the festivities: “The party alighted at the Orangerie, which had been prepared most lavishly and attractively for luncheon for the guests. The table, beneath the orange trees, was most prettily decorated with both local and exotic flowers, blossoms and fruits. -
