  • Nini, Bloodshed, and La Marescialla D'ancre
    28 Nini, bloodshed, and La marescialla d’Ancre Alexander Weatherson (This article originally appeared in Donizetti Society Newsletter 88 (February 2003)) An odd advocate of so much operatic blood and tears, the mild Alessandro Nini was born in the calm of Fano on 1 November 1805, an extraordinary centre section of his musical life was to be given to the stage, the rest of it to the church. It would not be too disrespectful to describe his life as a kind of sandwich - between two pastoral layers was a filling consisting of some of the most bloodthirsty operas ever conceived. Maybe the excesses of one encouraged the seclusion of the other? He began his strange career with diffidence - drawn to religion his first steps were tentative, devoted attendance on the local priest then, fascinated by religious music - study with a local maestro, then belated admission to the Liceo Musicale di Bologna (1827) while holding appointments as Maestro di Cappella at churches in Montenovo and Ancona; this stint capped,somewhat surprisingly - between 1830 and 1837 - by a spell in St. Petersburg teaching singing. Only on his return to Italy in his early thirties did he begin composing in earnest. Was it Russia that introduced him to violence? His first operatic project - a student affair - had been innocuous enough, Clato, written at Bologna with an milk-and-water plot based on Ossian (some fragments remain), all the rest of his operas appeared between 1837 and 1847, with one exception. The list is as follows: Ida della Torre (poem by Beltrame) Venice 1837; La marescialla d’Ancre (Prati) Padua 1839; Christina di Svezia (Cammarano/Sacchero) Genova 1840; Margarita di Yorck [sic] (Sacchero) Venice 1841; Odalisa (Sacchero) Milano 1842; Virginia (Bancalari) Genova 1843, and Il corsaro (Sacchero) Torino 1847.

  • JOS-075-1-2018-007 Child Prodigy
    From the Bel Canto Stage to Reality TV: A Musicological View of Opera’s Child Prodigy Problem Peter Mondelli very few months, a young singer, usually a young woman, takes the stage in front of network TV cameras and sings. Sometimes she sings Puccini, sometimes Rossini, rarely Verdi or Wagner. She receives praise from some well meaning but uninformed adult Ejudge, and then the social media frenzy begins. Aunts and uncles start sharing videos, leaving comments about how talented this young woman is. A torrent of blog posts and articles follow shortly thereafter. The most optimistic say that we in the opera world should use this publicity as a means to an end, to show the world at large what real opera is—without ever explaining how. Peter Mondelli The sentiment that seems to prevail, though, is that this performance does not count. This is not real opera. Opera was never meant to be sung by such a voice, at such an age, and under such conditions. Two years ago, Laura Bretan’s performance of Puccini’s “Nessun dorma” on America’s Got Talent evoked the usual responses.1 Claudia Friedlander responded admirably, explaining that there are basic physiological facts that keep operatic child prodigies at a distance from vocally mature singers.2 More common, however, are poorly researched posts like the one on the “Prosporo” blog run by The Economist.3 Dubious claims abound—Jenny Lind, for exam- ple, hardly retired from singing as the post claims at age twenty-nine, the year before P. T. Barnum invited her to tour North America.

  • JULES MASSENET – His Life and Works by Nick Fuller I
    JULES MASSENET – His Life and Works By Nick Fuller I. Introduction Jules Massenet’s operas made him one of the most popular composers of the late nineteenth century, his works performed throughout Europe, the Americas and North Africa. After World War I, he was seen as old- fashioned, and nearly all of his operas, apart from Werther and Manon , vanished from the mainstream repertoire. The opera-going public still know Massenet best for Manon , Werther , and the Méditation from Thaïs , but to believe, as The Grove Dictionary of Opera wrote in 1954, that ‘to have heard Manon is to have heard all of him’ is to do the composer a gross disservice. Massenet wrote twenty-seven operas, many of which are at least as good as Manon and Werther . Nearly all are theatrically effective, boast beautiful music and display insightful characterisation and an instinct for dramatic and psychological truth. In recent decades, Massenet’s work has regained popularity. Although he Figure 1 Jules Massenet, drawing by Ernesto Fontana (Source: is not the household name he once http://artlyriquefr.fr/personnages/Massenet%20Jules.html) was, and many of his operas remain little known, he has been winning new audiences. Conductors like Richard Bonynge, Julius Rudel and Patrick Fournillier have championed Massenet, while since 1990 a biennial Massenet festival has been held in his birthplace, Saint-Étienne, in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, its mission to rediscover Massenet’s operas. His work has been performed in the world’s major opera houses under the baton of conductors Thomas Beecham, Colin Davis, Charles Mackerras, Michel Plasson, Riccardo Chailly and Antonio Pappano, and sung by Joan Sutherland, José van Dam, Frederica von Stade, Nicolai Gedda, Roberto Alagna, Renée Fleming, Thomas Hampson and Plácido Domingo.

  • Un Giorno Di Regno/Verdi 15.8
    http://www.bloggione.com/parma/un-giorno-di-regno/297/admin • Cantiere Montepulciano ’10: Un Giorno di Regno/Verdi 15.8. Mit “Un Giorno di Regno ossia il finto Stanislao” (König für einen Tag oder Der falsche Stanislaus kam beim 35.Cantiere eine frühe (die 2.) Verdi-Oper haraus. Bemerkenswert an diesem Werk ist, daß sie die einzige Buffo-Oper in Verdis Oevre ist, wenn man mal vom großen Opernfinale mit Falstaff absieht. Verdi verarbeitet hier verschiedene Einflüsse, besonders Donizetti und Rossini. Von ersterem haben wir einige Episoden, die zu Beginn des 19.Jahrhunderts en voge waren. Die Buffo-Elemente haben natürlich ihre großen Vorbilder in Rossini, dem Großmeister in diesem Genre. In den Belcanto-Stellen hat Vincenzo Bellini seine Eindrücke hinterlassen. Wir finden hier aber auch achon Verdi, der auf eigenen Füßen steht, neben volkstümlichen Stellen, die auf Verdis Faible für die italien.Banda (Straßenkapelle) fußen, blitzt bereits seine Meisterschaft in der Behandlung der Solisten-Ensembles besonders bei Aktschlüssen auf, die sich in den späteren Opern weiter perfektionierte. Dieser ‘Giorno di Regno ist also eine vergessene Perle und Bindeglied zwischen frühem und mittlerem musikalischen 19.Jahrh. Bei der UA in Mailand fiel er beim Publikum durch, was aber wohl der schlechten Interpretation geschuldet war, danach konnte die Oper in Italien nur wenige Erfolge verbuchen und wurde in Mailand erst 2001 wieder aufgenommen. An einem polnischen Hof soll eine Doppelhochzeit gehalten werden, in die auch der ‘falsche’Stanislaus involviert ist. Es handelt sich dabei aber um arrangierte Hochzeiten und es bedarf einiger komplizierter Verwicklungen und Aktionen auch von seiten des Noch- Regenten, um letztendlich die Hochzeit mit den richtigen Liebespaaren halten zu können.
