  • Pacini, Parody and Il Pirata Alexander Weatherson
    “Nell’orror di mie sciagure” Pacini, parody and Il pirata Alexander Weatherson Rivalry takes many often-disconcerting forms. In the closed and highly competitive world of the cartellone it could be bitter, occasionally desperate. Only in the hands of an inveterate tease could it be amusing. Or tragi-comic, which might in fact be a better description. That there was a huge gulf socially between Vincenzo Bellini and Giovanni Pacini is not in any doubt, the latter - in the wake of his highly publicised liaison with Pauline Bonaparte, sister of Napoleon - enjoyed the kind of notoriety that nowadays would earn him the constant attention of the media, he was a high-profile figure and positively reveled in this status. Musically too there was a gulf. On the stage since his sixteenth year he was also an exceptionally experienced composer who had enjoyed collaboration with, and the confidence of, Rossini. No further professional accolade would have been necessary during the early decades of the nineteenth century On 20 November 1826 - his account in his memoirs Le mie memorie artistiche1 is typically convoluted - Giovanni Pacini was escorted around the Conservatorio di S. Pietro a Majella of Naples by Niccolò Zingarelli the day after the resounding success of his Niobe, itself on the anniversary of the prima of his even more triumphant L’ultimo giorno di Pompei, both at the Real Teatro S.Carlo. In the Refettorio degli alunni he encountered Bellini for what seems to have been the first time2 among a crowd of other students who threw bottles and plates in the air in his honour.3 That the meeting between the concittadini did not go well, this enthusiasm notwithstanding, can be taken for granted.

  • LE MIE MEMORIE ARTISTICHE Giovanni Pacini
    LE MIE MEMORIE ARTISTICHE Giovanni Pacini Vertaling: Adriaan van der Tang 1 2 VOORWOORD De meeste operaliefhebbers nemen als vanzelfsprekend aan dat drie componisten in de eerste helft van de negentiende eeuw het muziekleven in Italië domineerden: Rossini, Donizetti, Bellini. Deze veronderstelling is enerzijds gebaseerd op het feit dat een flink aantal werken van hun hand tot op de huidige dag overal ter wereld wordt uitgevoerd, anderzijds op een ruime belangstelling van onder- zoekers, die geleid heeft tot talrijke wetenschappelijke publicaties die mede hun weg vonden naar een ruimer publiek. Ook de fonografische industrie heeft zich de laatste vijftig, zestig jaar voornamelijk geconcentreerd op de populaire opera’s van dit drietal, naast werken die in artistiek of muziek- historisch opzicht van belang werden geacht. Sinds een aantal jaren worden, vooral in kleinere Italiaanse theaters en zomerfestivals, in toenemende mate opera’s uitgevoerd van vergeten meesters, die bij nadere beschouwing in genoemd tijdperk wel degelijk een rol van betekenis hebben vervuld. Registraties van deze opvoeringen worden door de ware melomaan begroet als een welkome ont- dekking, evenals de studio-opnamen die wij te danken hebben aan de prijzenswaardige initiatieven van Opera Rara, waardoor men kennis kan nemen van de muziek van componisten als Mayr, Mercadante, Meyerbeer, Pacini, Paër en anderen. Een van deze vergeten componisten, Giovanni Pacini, speelt met betrekking tot onze algemene kennis van de negentiende-eeuwse operahistorie een bijzondere rol. Zijn autobiografie Le mie memorie artistiche uit 1865 is een belangrijke bron van informatie voor muziekwetenschappers - en andere geïnteresseerden - die zich toeleggen op het bestuderen van de ontwikkeling van de opera in de belcantoperiode.

  • "Casta Diva" from Bellini's
    “Casta Diva” from Bellini's “Norma”--Rosa Ponselle; accompanied by the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra and Chorus, conducted by Giulio Setti (December 31, 1928 and January 30, 1929) Added to the National Registry: 2007 Essay by Judy Tsou (guest post)* Rosa Ponselle “Casta Diva” is the most famous aria of Vincenzo Bellini’s “Norma” (1831). It is sung by the title character, a Druidess or priestess of the Gauls, in the first act. The opera takes place in Gaul between 100 and 50 BCE when the Romans were occupiers. The Gauls want Norma to declare war on the Romans, who have been oppressing them. Norma is hesitant to do so because she is secretly in love with Pollione, the Roman proconsul, and with whom she has borne two children. She assuages the people’s anger and convinces them that this is not the right time to revolt. She asserts that the Romans will eventually fall by their own doing, and the Gauls do not need to rise up now. It is at this point that Norma sings “Casta Diva,” a prayer to the moon goddess for peace, and eventually, conquering the Romans. When things between her and Pollione go sour, Norma tries to kill their children but ultimately cannot bring herself to do so. Eventually, she confesses her relationship with Pollione and sacrifices herself on the funeral pyre of her lover. “Norma” was the first of two operas commissioned in 1830 for which Bellini was paid an unprecedented 12,000 lire. “Norma” premiered on December 26, 1831 at La Scala, and the second opera, “Beatrice di Tenda,” premiered in 1833, but in Venice (La Fenice).

  • RUSSIAN TOPIC in WORKS of the ITALIAN COMPOSERS Liudmila Kazantseva
    УДК 78.01 NAPLES: RUSSIAN TOPIC IN WORKS OF THE ITALIAN COMPOSERS Liudmila Kazantseva Astrakhan State Concervatoire , [email protected] I n formation of Russian - Italian musical interrelations , Naples has played a role we can call at the same time both standard, and peculiar. The onset of Neapolitan "expansion" to Russia is connected with Francesco Domenico Araja. He has appeared in St. Petersb urg in 1735 together with a big Italian opera troupe. Tommaso Traetta, Baldassarre Galuppi, Giovanni Paisiello, Domenico Cimarosa, Gennaro Astaritta and other composers went to St. Petersburg following Araja . They have made realities, history, folklore of Russia a part of their own creativity. In addition to biographic occasions, establishment of the called tradition was promoted by the system of composer training developing in Naples since the 16th century. It was made by educational institutions – the conservatories which have trained prominent musicians. Transfer of professional experience from the master to the pupil, i.e. the authoritative personality plays an irreplaceable role in the creative growth of the composer. In this regard, it is necessary to remember such noticeable cultural phenomenon as the Neapolitan composer school (Francesco Durante, Niccolò Jommelli, Giovanni Paisiello, Giovanni Battista Pergolesi, Niccolò Piccinni, Alessandro and Domenico Scarlatti, etc.). It has become usual at the Neapolitan composer school to address Russia in opera plots: Domenico Cimarosa – in the opera “Vladimir” ( Volodimiro , 1787), Niccolò Zingarelli,

  • Yes, Virginia, Another Ballo Tragico: the National Library of Portugal’S Ballet D’Action Libretti from the First Half of the Nineteenth Century
    YES, VIRGINIA, ANOTHER BALLO TRAGICO: THE NATIONAL LIBRARY OF PORTUGAL’S BALLET D’ACTION LIBRETTI FROM THE FIRST HALF OF THE NINETEENTH CENTURY DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Ligia Ravenna Pinheiro, M.F.A., M.A., B.F.A. Graduate Program in Dance Studies The Ohio State University 2015 Dissertation Committee: Karen Eliot, Adviser Nena Couch Susan Petry Angelika Gerbes Copyright by Ligia Ravenna Pinheiro 2015 ABSTRACT The Real Theatro de São Carlos de Lisboa employed Italian choreographers from its inauguration in 1793 to the middle of the nineteenth century. Many libretti for the ballets produced for the S. Carlos Theater have survived and are now housed in the National Library of Portugal. This dissertation focuses on the narratives of the libretti in this collection, and their importance as documentation of ballets of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, from the inauguration of the S. Carlos Theater in 1793 to 1850. This period of dance history, which has not received much attention by dance scholars, links the earlier baroque dance era of the eighteenth century with the style of ballet of the 1830s to the 1850s. Portugal had been associated with Italian art and artists since the beginning of the eighteenth century. This artistic relationship continued through the final decades of the eighteenth and the first half of the nineteenth century. The majority of the choreographers working in Lisbon were Italian, and the works they created for the S. Carlos Theater followed the Italian style of ballet d’action.
