Excerpt: Orfeo ed Euridice (French version: Orphée et Eurydice; English translation: Orpheus and Eurydice) is an opera composed by Christoph Willibald Gluck based on the myth of Orpheus, set to a libretto by Ranieri de' Calzabigi. It belongs to the genre of the azione teatrale, meaning an opera on a mythological subject with choruses and dancing. The piece was first performed at Vienna on 5 October 1762. Orfeo ed Euridice is the first of Gluck's "reform" operas, in which he attempted to replace the abstruse plots and overly complex music of opera seria with a "noble simplicity" in both the music and the drama. The opera is the most popular of Gluck's works, and one of the most influential on subsequent German opera. Variations on its plotthe underground rescue-mission in which the hero must control, or conceal, his emotionsinclude Mozart's The Magic Flute, Beethoven's Fidelio and Wagner's Das Rheingold. Though originally set to an Italian libretto, Orfeo ed Euridice owes much to the genre of French opera, particularly in its use of accompanied recitative and a general absence of vocal virtuosity. Indeed, twelve years after the 1762 premiere, Gluck re-adapted the opera to suit the tastes of a Parisian audience at the Académie Royale de Musique with a libretto by Pierre-Louis Moline. This reworking was given the title Orphée et Eurydice, and several alterations were made in vocal casting and orchestration to suit French tastes.

Aus Wikipedia. Nicht dargestellt. Auszug: Alceste is an opera by Christoph Willibald Gluck. The libretto was written by Ranieri de' Calzabigi (in Italian) and based on the play Alcestis by Euripides. When Calzabigi published Alceste, he added a preface signed by Gluck, which set out their ideals for operatic reform. The opera displays the features set out in this manifesto, namely: Alceste also has no role for the castrato voice, although Gluck would return to using a castrato in his next opera, Paride ed Elena. The Death of Alcestis by Angelica KauffmannThe second of Gluck's so-called "reform operas" (after Orfeo ed Euridice), it was first performed at the Burgtheater in Vienna on 26 December 1767. A heavily revised version with a French libretto by Leblanc du Roullet premiered in Paris on 23 April 1776. The opera is usually given in the revised version, although this is sometimes translated into Italian. Both versions are in three acts. Maria Callas starred as Alceste in an aclaimed production at La Scala in 1954. It was her first collaboration in a stage performance with director Luchino Visconti. A recording of the performance survives which shows the level of accomplishment achieved with the production. The Metropolitan Opera has presented Alceste in three different seasons, with four sopranos starring in a total of eighteen performances. The Met premiere of the opera, on January 24, 1941, featured Marjorie Lawrence. There were four more performances that season, two starring Lawrence and two starring Rose Bampton. In the 1951-52 season, wagnerian soprano Kirsten Flagstad sang Alceste in five performances, including her farewell performance with the company on April 1, 1952. On December 6, 1960, Eileen Farrell made her Metropolitan Opera debut as Alceste. She sang the role a total of eight times that season. Her final performance of the role, on February 11, 1961, marks the last time to date that the opera has been performed at the Met. The Lyric Opera of Chicago opened its 1990 season with a performan ... Read more

Le livre consiste d'articles Wikipedia sur : Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Christoph Willibald Gluck. Non illustré. Mises à jour gratuites en ligne. Extrait : Joannes Chrysostomus Wolfgangus Theophilus Mozart, ou Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (né à Salzbourg, principauté du Saint-Empire romain germanique, le 27 janvier 1756 - mort à Vienne le 5 décembre 1791), est un compositeur. Mort à trente-cinq ans, il laisse une œuvre importante (626 œuvres sont répertoriées dans le Catalogue Köchel), qui embrasse tous les genres musicaux de son époque. Selon le témoignage de ses contemporains, il était, au piano comme au violon, un virtuose. On reconnaît généralement qu'il a porté à un point de perfection le concerto, la symphonie, et la sonate, qui devinrent après lui les principales formes de la musique classique, et qu'il fut un des plus grands maîtres de l'opéra. Son succès ne s'est jamais démenti. Son nom est passé dans le langage courant comme synonyme de génie, de virtuosité et de maîtrise parfaite. Mozart enfant, huile anonyme de 1763, probablement due à Pietro Antonio LorenzoniNé à Salzbourg, qui était à l'époque la capitale d'une principauté ecclésiastique du Saint-Empire romain germanique (Cercle de Bavière), Mozart était le fils d'un compositeur et grand pédagogue allemand, Léopold Mozart (1719 - 1787), vice-maître de chapelle à la cour du prince-archevêque de Salzbourg, et de son épouse Anna Maria Pertl (1720 - 1778). Leopold, Wolfgang au clavecin et Marianne Mozart en 1764Wolfgang est le septième enfant du couple. Trois enfants sont morts en bas âge avant la naissance de sa sœur Maria Anna (surnommée , née en 1751), et deux autres sont encore morts entre la naissance de cette sœur aînée et la sienne.

Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Chaconne is a ballet made by New York City Ballet co-founder and balletmaster George Balanchine to ballet music from Gluck's Orfeo ed Euridice (Vienna, 1762; Paris, 1774). The premiere took place January 22, 1976, at the New York State Theater, Lincoln Center with lighting by Ronald Bates; Robert Irving conducted. Chaconne was danced in practice clothes at its premiere; Karinska's costumes were added in the Spring season. The finale to Orfeo ed Euridice is a chaconne, a dance form built on a short bass phrase and often used by 17 and 18 century opera composers to achieve a festive mood at the end. The choreography was first performed at the Hamburgische Staatsoper in their 1963 production of Orpheus und Eurydike and somewhat altered in Chaconne, especially that for the principal dancers. Balanchine added the pas de deux for Suzanne Farrell and Peter Martins to the 1976 ballet and the opening ensemble (to the 1774 Dance of the Blessed Spirits) for the Spring season. Balanchine's first Orpheus and Eurydice was made on the Metropolitan Opera in 1936; his approach, the singers remaining in the pit while the action was danced on stage, was not well received; the production had only two performances. He choreographed Orphée et Eurydice for the Théâtre National de l'Opéra, Paris, in 1973 and Orfeo ed Euridice for the Chicago Lyric Opera in 1975 as well. In 1773 Gluck wrote, "Always as simple and natural as I can make it, my music strives toward the utmost expressiveness and seeks to reinforce the meaning of the underlying poetry. It is for this reason that I do not use those trills, coloraturas, and cadences that Italians employ so abunda...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=19174246 ... Read more
