Podcasts about opera buffa

My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Laury A Egan, author of the book Fair Haven. Laury is the author of fourteen books of fiction: Jack & I; The Black Leopard's Kiss & The Writer Remembers; The Psychologist's Shadow; The Firefly; Once, Upon an Island; Wave in D Minor; Doublecrossed; Turnabout; The Swimmer; The Ungodly Hour; A Bittersweet Tale; Fabulous! An Opera Buffa; The Outcast Oracle; and Jenny Kidd, with two titles forthcoming in 2025: Fair Haven and a new story/play collection, Contrary. Her stories have been collected in Fog and Other Stories, and her short fiction and poems have appeared in 85 literary journals and in multiple anthologies. Two full-length poetry volumes, Snow, Shadow, a Stranger and Beneath the Lion's Paw, were issued in limited edition, as were two chapbooks, Presence & Absence and The Sea & Beyond. Laury is also a fine arts photographer, a former book designer, and a reviewer for The New York Journal of Books. She lives on the northern coast of New Jersey.   In my book review, I stated Fair Haven by Laury A Egan is a murder mystery set in the small town of Fair Haven. The opening scene is a dead, naked woman in a hot tub. Each page after introduces us to the characters who may be the killer, as well as some supporting cast members like the police chief, his girl Friday, the crime photographer, and a beagle named Cagney.   And the possible killer? The list is lengthy and includes one of many lovers, her husband, a colleague, and a thief. Everything gets messier as we learn about the private lives of these individuals and realize that although the town seems quiet on the outside, the residents are embroiled in scandals ranging from hiding sexual orientations to financial fraud. Throw in some blackmail, attempted rape, and assault - and you have a real story!   This is the latest in Laury's works, and once again, I didn't figure out the killer until the very end. She's very good at giving you the answer but hiding it just enough to keep you guessing! If you love a good suspense/mystery, then you'll love this book.   Subscribe to Online for Authors to learn about more great books! https://www.youtube.com/@onlineforauthors?sub_confirmation=1   Join the Novels N Latte Book Club community to discuss this and other books with like-minded readers: https://www.facebook.com/groups/3576519880426290   You can follow Author Laury A Egan Website: https://www.lauryaegan.com/ FB: @laury.egan IG: @laurya.egan LinkedIn: @Laury A Egan   Purchase Fair Haven on Amazon: Ebook: https://amzn.to/3QWdixl   Teri M Brown, Author and Podcast Host: https://www.terimbrown.com FB: @TeriMBrownAuthor IG: @terimbrown_author X: @terimbrown1   Want to be a guest on Online for Authors?

Mozarts Meisteroper über den gefährlichen Frauenhelden aus Sevilla zählt zu seinen faszinierendsten Vokalwerken: 3 Stunden voller Verwechslungen, Tragik und musikalischer Hochspannung. Zur Premiere in Prag kam auch Giacomo Casanova. Von Michael Lohse.

Das Gastspiel der Opéra de Monte-Carlo an der Wiener Statsoper wurde gestern mit Rossinis „Il turco in Italia“ fortgesetzt. Unser Opernexperte Richard Schmitz berichtet. Es ist nicht leicht heitere Opern zu schreiben und zu komponieren. Rossini war dieses Talent gegeben, aber auch er hat nicht nur Geniestreiche geschrieben. „Il turco in Italia“ ist eine handwerklich saubere und spritzige Opera Buffa, nicht mehr. Trotzdem ist es vergnüglich, dieses Werk kennenzulernen. Schon das Handlungsgerüst des routinierten Felice Romani ist interessant. Romani hat nicht auf den verkrampften Versuch eines modernen Regisseurs gewartet, sondern gleich selbst die Rahmenhandlung geschrieben. Ein Dichter zieht die Fäden und sorgt auch für das Happy End, oder korrekter fine lieto. Die Doppelbödigkeit des Geschehens wird allerdings in der Regie von Louis Grinda nur wenig betont. Es ist alles auf den Star des Abends Cecilia Bartoli konzentriert, die all ihr Können und all ihre Stimmbeherrschung einbringt. Diese Fiorilla ist eine selbstgefällige Person, die nicht genug Liebhaber haben kann. Unglaublich, wie unverbraucht die Stimme noch immer ist. Ihre Koloraturtechnik war nie meins. Zu wahrer Größe erblüht die Bartoli allerdings, als ihr narzisstisches Selbstbild in sich zusammenbricht. Da jubelt das Publikum zurecht minutenlang und kann sich kaum beruhigen. Der Türke Selim ist von ihr fasziniert, kehrt allerdings am Ende zu seiner Roma Geliebten zurück. Ildebrando D`Arcangelo setzt seine wunderbare Stimme differenziert ein. Nicola Alaimo singt den unsicheren und tollpatschigen Ehemann Geronio gekonnt. Don Narciso ist einer der Verehrer Fiorillas. Barry Banks macht diese Figur unter dem Einsatz seiner an sich schönen Stimme zu einer Karikatur. Das ist durchaus witzig. Man fühlt sich an Donald Trump und Boris Johnson erinnert. Das übrige Ensemble José Maria Lo Monaco als Zigeunerin Zaida, David Astorga als Albazar und Giovanni Romeo als strippenziehender Dichter erledigen ihre Aufgaben mit Anstand. Gianluca Capuano leitet das Orchester Les Musiciens du Prince – Monaco und den zugehörigen Chor zu einem spritzigen Rossiniklang. Das Orchester und die Solisten können auch ohne Dirigenten in den Schlussapplaus hinein das Finale wiederholen. Das Auditorium applaudierte lang und begeistert. Der Meinung, dass es die erfolgreichste Produktion in der derzeitigen Direktion sei, wie von Kollegen behauptet, kann ich mich nicht anschließen. Es war ein herziger Abend. Wertnote 8,7

From the grand gestures of gods and ancient heroes in Opera Seria to the comical meanderings of Opera Buffa. These two genres occurred at a time of great change both in music and European society as a whole. Take one minute to Get the Scoop!Fun FactOpera Buffa was inspired by intermezzi, which were comic intermissions appearing in between acts of Opera Seria, in order to break up the tension.

Da sage noch jemand, die 13 sei eine Unglückszahl: Genau 13 Tage brauchte Rossini für seine berühmteste Oper. Mit dem schwungvollen Werk gelang dem 23jährigen der internationale Durchbruch. Bald befand sich ganz Europa im Rossini-Fieber. (Autor: Vratz/Lohse)

In this series of podcasts, Seattle Opera Dramaturg Jonathan Dean gives listeners a taste of nine different types of traditional opera. Opera buffa, the beloved old Italian tradition of opera comedy, is what you get by adding music to the even older Italian tradition of improvised (artisanal) comedy, commedia dell’arte. The fools and buffoons of commedia—the sassy wenches, befuddled old professors, suicidal young lovers, dirty old misers, hungry Harlequins, arrogant soldiers, zany servants, and all the rest—found new ways of entertaining us once they began singing gloriously. And with the opera orchestra functioning as a laugh track and adding jokes of its own, opera buffa continues to disarm us and charm us while putting a big grin on our faces. The Barber of Seville and The Elixir of Love are great examples of the genre. Musical examples on the podcast drawn from Seattle Opera recordings of La Cenerentola, 2013, conducted by Giacomo Sagripanti; The Barber of Seville, 2011, conducted by Dean Williamson and starring José Carbo and Lawrence Brownlee; The Marriage of Figaro, 2009, conducted by Dean Williamson and starring Nicolas Cavallier and Barry Johnson; Così fan tutte, 2006, conducted by Andreas Mitisek; the 1986 Hungaroton recording of La serva padrona, starring Katalin Farkas and Jozsef Gregor, with Capella Savaria conducted by Pal Nemeth; Falstaff, conducted by Karajan and starring Luigi Alva, soloists, and the Philharmonia Orchestra (Columbia 1956); Gianni Schicchi, conducted by Antonio Pappano (EMI 1998); and L’elisir d’amore, Ileana Cotrubas, Geraint Evans, and the orchestra of Covent Garden conducted by John Pritchard (Columbia 1977) Stay tuned for another podcast introducing another kind of opera next week!

Rossini’s exuberant Opera Buffa, The Barber of Seville, features the irrepressible jack-of-all-trades Figaro. This Bel Canto masterpiece is where you will hear the quintessential opera piece “Largo al Factorum,” best known for the glorious (and comic) repetitions of “Figaro, Figaro, Figaro. . .” Everyone clamors for Figaro’s attention, and in this wild romp he assists Count Almavia to wed Rosina, the lovely ward of the greedy Dr. Bartolo. No marriage for Figaro here—that’s a different opera! With Pat and guest co-host, Petria Fossel.

This episode of Opera for Everyone features Luciano Pavarotti as Nemorino and Kathleen Battle as Adina in a 1990 Metropolitan Opera production of Gaetano Donizetti's L'Elisir D'Amore conducted by James Levine. This "Opera Buffa" - comedic opera - premiered in 1832 at Teatro Cannobiana, in Milan. The opera in two acts with a libretto by Felice Romani, is set in a small village in the Italian countryside. The story focuses on a romance between the beautiful young Adina, and Nemorino a shy and insecure man who works on her land. L'Elisir D'Amore is considered to represent the best of the bel canto tradition that reigned in Italian opera in the early 19th century The show-stopping tenor aria “Una furtiva lagrima” in Act II is a favorite aria for many opera lovers.

Mozart, Salieri, Sarti und Paisiello, alle komponierten Arien für sie und feierten große Erfolge damit. Die in Italien gerade so beliebte Opera Buffa war auf dem Weg nach Wien und in Nancy Storace fand man die ideale Sängerin dafür. Im Bürgerhaus Pullach würdigt die Accademia di Monaco unter der musikalischen Leitung von Joachim Tschiedel am 22. Juni 2016 die außergewöhnliche Sängerin mit einem musikalisch-literarischen Porträt.

We finish our 2012 International Season with two wonderful Italian comic operas, The Barber of Seville by Rossini and Don Pasquale by Donizetti. Let's spend a couple of weeks looking at the influences that created the form we call opera buffa and spend some time with their comic characters. Today, Norina, the star of Don Pasquale, and her delightful entrance aria.
