Antonio Salieri and Viennese Opera
ISBN: 9780226711256 / Angielski / Twarda / 668 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Many know Antonio Salieri only as Mozart's envious nemesis from the film "Amadeus." In this well-illustrated work, John A. Rice shows us what a rich musical and personal history this popular stereotype has missed.

Stiffelio, 16: Libretto (in Three Acts) by Francesco Maria Piave
ISBN: 9780226853192 / Angielski / Twarda / 552 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The performance history of "Stiffelio" as Verdi envisioned it began only in 1993. Composed with "Rigoletto, " and sharing many of its characteristics, "Stiffelio" suffered from the censors' strictures. From its premiere in 1850, its text was diluted to appease the authorities, making a mockery of the action and Verdi's carefully calibrated music. The story of Stiffelio, a protestant minister who eventually divorces his adulterous wife but forgives her from the pulpit in the final scene, shocked conservative Italian religious and political powers. The libretto was rewritten for subsequent...

Macbeth: Melodramma in Four Acts. Libretto by Francesco Maria Piave Volume 10
ISBN: 9780226853208 / Angielski / Twarda / 612 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Verdi had a special fondness for "Macbeth," and the first version of his opera based on Shakespeare's play is arguably the most important work of his formative years. But dissatisfied with the work of his librettist, Francesco Maria Piave, Verdi reworked the text himself and lavished the score with particular attention. The premiere in Florence in 1847 was a great success, but for the Paris premiere in 1865, Verdi made substantial changes, adding dances and an entirely new aria, duet, chorus, and death scene. Clearly, he intended that "Macbeth II" supersede the earlier version, and today the...

Giovanna d'Arco, 7: Dramma Lirico in Four Acts by Temistocle Solera
ISBN: 9780226853307 / Angielski / Twarda / 484 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. "Giovanna d Arco" (Joan of Arc), Verdi s seventh opera, premiered at La Scala in 1845 to great public success despite sub-par production standards, and modern performances have swept away both audiences and critical reservations when the work is executed with faithfulness to his score. At the heart of this large-scale opera, with its prominent choruses, is the difficult and beautiful part of Joan simultaneously ethereal soprano and dynamic warrior. The libretto by Temistocle Solera, based in part on Schiller s play "Die Jungfrau von Orleans," omits Joan s trial for heresy and burning at the...

En Travesti: Women, Gender Subversion, Opera

Since the release of Wayne Koestenbaum's book, The Queen's Throat: Opera, Homosexuality, and the Mystery of Desire, gender studies has begun to take an active interest in music. Opera, long viewed as strictly an establishment tradition, has in particular been given a second look by gender theorists. Can opera - an antiquated, Eurocentric bastion of high culture - in fact be subverting patriarchal authority in some fundamental way?

Zarzuela: Spanish Operetta, American Stage
ISBN: 9780252025969 / Angielski / Twarda / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Once the most popular form of Spanish entertainment short of the bullfight, the zarzuela boasts a long history of bridging the categories of classical and popular art. It is neither opera nor serious drama, yet it requires both trained singers and good actors. The content is neither purely folkloric nor high art; it is too popular for some and too classical for others. In Zarzuela, Janet L. Sturman assesses the political as well as the musical significance of this chameleon of music-drama.
