THE SONGBIRD: Gianna Galli +••.••(...)) was lyric soprano, but sang a few florid roles early in her career. She was born in Modena where she made her stage debut in 1952, the same year she won the Spoleto voice competition at age 17. She appeared as Lisa in a 1956 television production of "La sonnambula" starring Anna Moffo (available elsewhere on YouTube). Galli's career grew rapidly with appearances in Italy and a debut in the U.S. in 1958 at the New York City Opera as Mimi, a role she performed frequently. Her La scala debut was in 1962 in Kurt Weill's one-act farce "Der Zar lässt sich photographieren." She sang Oscar in Venice, Violetta in Rome, Puccini's Manon in Monte Carlo, Minnie in Florence, Tosca in Parma, and Sonia in Torino. She also sang several world premieres of contemporary Italian operas. When she retired from singing, she became an artist's manager. THE MUSIC: "I puritani" was Bellini's last opera. It premiered in Paris in January 1835, and Bellini died in September 1835 at the age of 33. It was tremendously successful and the opera was performed regularly throughout Europe and in New York until the early 1900s. It went mostly dormant until it caught the public's attention during the bel canto revival ignited by Maria Callas and carried forward by Joan Sutherland, Beverly Sills, Edita Gruberova, and others. Elvira is one of Bellini's most mentally delicate creatures and her mad scene is an elegant depiction of her fragile emotional state. The entire mad scene is very long (almost 20 minutes with no cuts); it has several sections and interludes and frequent interjections by other characters, so it is always abridged when performed by a solo soprano in concert or recital.
Tagore Philip Glass Jong Einstein New York City Opera Stadsschouwburg 1896 1937 1980
PHILIP GLASS (b. 1937) Satyagraha Act II: Rabindranath Tagore Scene 1 - Confrontation and Rescue (1896) Performed by the New York City Opera Chorus & New York City Opera Orchestra Conducted by Christopher Keene (http•••) *Satyagraha (English pronunciation: /sʌtˈjɑːɡrəhə/, Sanskrit satyāgraha "insistence on truth") is an opera in three acts for orchestra, chorus and soloists, composed by Philip Glass, with a libretto by Glass and Constance de Jong. The opera is loosely based on the life of Mohandas K. Gandhi, and is the second part of Glass's "Portrait Trilogy" of operas about men who changed the world, which also includes Einstein on the Beach and Akhnaten. Philip Glass's style can broadly be described as minimalist, but the music in Satyagraha is somewhat more expansive than is implied by that label. The cast of the opera includes 2 sopranos, 2 mezzo-sopranos, 2 tenors, a baritone and 2 basses and a large SATB chorus. The orchestra is strings and woodwinds only, no brass or percussion. The title of the opera refers to Gandhi's concept of non-violent resistance to injustice, Satyagraha, and the text, from the Bhagavad Gita, is sung in the original Sanskrit. In performance, translation is usually provided in supertitles. As the passages are generally repeated, the DVD provides the full text at the beginning of each scene. Satyagraha was commissioned by the city of Rotterdam, Netherlands, and was first performed at the Stadsschouwburg (Municipal Theatre) there on September 5, 1980 by the Netherlands Opera and the Utrecht Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Bruce Ferden.
Sigmund Romberg Förster Jolson Shearer Mario Lanza Webster Light Opera Manhattan New York City Opera 1924 1931 1943 1954 1988
The Student Prince is an operetta in four acts with music by Sigmund Romberg and book and lyrics by Dorothy Donnelly. It is based on Wilhelm Meyer-Förster's play Old Heidelberg. The piece has elements of melodrama but lacks the swashbuckling style common to Romberg's other works. The plot is mostly faithful to its source. It opened on December 2, 1924, at Jolson's 59th Street Theatre on Broadway. The show was the most successful of Romberg's works, running for 608 performances, the longest-running Broadway show of the 1920s. Even the classic Show Boat, the most enduring musical of the 1920s, did not play as long - it ran for 572 performances.[1] "Drinking Song", with its rousing chorus of "Drink! Drink! Drink!" was especially popular with theatergoers in 1924, as the United States was in the midst of Prohibition. The operetta contains some of the most beautiful, yet gruelling, tenor arias in the operetta repertoire, notably the Serenade ("Overhead the moon is beaming"). Ernst Lubitsch made a silent film also based on Förster's work, titled The Student Prince in Old Heidelberg, starring Ramón Novarro and Norma Shearer. Its orchestral score did not use any of Romberg's score, although it did include Gaudeamus Igitur. The operetta was revived twice on Broadway / once in 1931 and again in 1943. Mario Lanza's performance on the soundtrack of the 1954 MGM film The Student Prince, renewed the popularity of many of the songs. Composer Nicholas Brodszky and lyricist Paul Francis Webster wrote three new songs for the film. Two of these songs / "I'll Walk with God" and "Beloved", as well as "Serenade" / became closely associated with Lanza, although the role was played on screen by British actor Edmund Purdom, who mimed to Lanza's recordings. The operetta was revived in the 1970s and 1980s by the Light Opera of Manhattan and in 1988 by New York City Opera.[2] In recent years, the operetta has been performed each summer at the Heidelberg Castle Festival.[3]
