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.

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.

Sogno Di Scipione Di Mozart Progetto Atelier Della Fenice Al Teatro Malibran
COMUNICATO STAMPA Venezia, febbraio 2019 Il sogno di Scipione di Mozart Progetto Atelier della Fenice al Teatro Malibran Il sogno di Scipione di Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, azione teatrale in un atto su libretto di Pietro Metastasio, sarà in scena per la prima volta sul palcoscenico del Teatro Malibran, nell’ambito della Stagione Lirica e Balletto 2018-2019 della Fondazione Teatro La Fenice di Venezia. La ‘serenata’ musicata dal salisburghese, composta intorno al 1771-1772, sarà proposta in un nuovo allestimento con la direzione musicale di Federico Maria Sardelli alla testa dell’Orchestra e Coro del Teatro La Fenice – maestro del Coro Claudio Marino Moretti – e in una messinscena coordinata dal tutor di regia Elena Barbalich realizzata in collaborazione con l’Accademia di Belle Arti di Venezia e nell’ambito del progetto Atelier della Fenice al Teatro Malibran. Alla prima di venerdì 8 febbraio ore 19.00, seguiranno quattro repliche: il 10, 12, 14 e 16 febbraio 2019. Il progetto è sostenuto dalla Michelangelo Foundation for Creativity and Craftsmanship. Settimo lavoro di Mozart (1756-1791) per il teatro, composto a soli sedici anni, Il sogno di Scipione vide la luce tra Ascanio in Alba e Lucio Silla, per essere rappresentato probabilmente il 29 aprile o l’1 maggio del ‘72 in occasione dell’arrivo a Salisburgo del nuovo arcivescovo Hieronymous Joseph Franz von Paula, conte di Colloredo. La narrazione allegorica del libretto, tratto dal Somnium Scipionis di Cicerone, ricalca piuttosto fedelmente la fonte letteraria antica: addormentatosi nella reggia del re alleato Massinissa, in Numidia, Scipione Emiliano sogna di essere nel cielo degli eroi, dove incontra Costanza e Fortuna, che gli chiedono di scegliere chi, tra loro, seguire.

This reality seems to go unnoticed by most, but the fact remains that many individuals and their societies have formed a cultural identity from the combination of many foreign influences. Such a multicultural identity can be seen particularly in music. Composers, artists, and performers alike frequently seek to incorporate separate elements of style in their own identity. One of the earliest examples of this tradition is the German Singspiel.
