Par . “Una voce poco profonda”: Curtain up for Trouser Roles and Heroines Whether the voice is lyric light or heavy, whether it can master coloratura, perhaps even has dramatic potential – in the OperAria mezzo-soprano and alto volumes, singers with a deeper voice and a special talent for the trouser role through to the heroine find everything they need for their performance. Throbbing of the heart? Yes, that’s simply part of the game! Feeling nervous? No, because actually nothing can go wrong with OperAria. The best vocal coach for auditions and current theatre practice. Only the voice needs to do its bit. Toi, toi, toi! “Our goal is to give the user a modern-day, systematically structured vocal coach who satisfies the demands of present-day theater practice. At long last a consistent repertoire and a well-ordered conflation of respective audition arias for all vocal genres.” (Peter Anton Ling and Marina Sandel, editors) OperAria – repertoire anthology of opera arias according to vocal criteria (range, tessitura, specifics, type of aria) with due regard to practical aspects of musical and theatrical nature (style, era, role type, national provenance) with comments on the arias information on the composer, the librettist, the work, the range and of versions or casting a short synopsis of the contents illuminating the basic dramatic constellation in the context of the opera’s plot an evaluation from the singer’s point of view with “phonetic assistant” and “text assistant” aria texts in the original language spoken by native speakers as an audio file (mp3) aria texts in German and English translations as a text file (pdf) available for download / Date parution : 2022-11-04/ Recueil / Chant et Piano

Edward Elgar's The Dream Of Gerontius is a splendid oratorio for Mezzo-soprano, Tenor and Bass with Chorus and Orchestra. It is based on the epic poem, The Dream of Gerontius by John Henry Newman written in 1865. The original vocal score of Gerontius was actually printed before Elgar's had even finalised or completed his final orchestration and as such it was printed without many of the markings that were added in the later full score. This new edition brings vocal and full scores into agreement for the first time having been authentically and effectively edited by Hywel Davies and Bruce Wood, and also includes helpful notes on the background to the work as well as an outline of the editorial procedure and list of sources. This New Novello Choral Edition of the Vocal score with Piano reduction of the orchestral materialincludes a detailed foreword listing history, sources and editorial proceedure. / Chant Et Piano

Ed. critica di C. Toscani - Riduzione per canto e pianoforte-Based on the anonymous recasting of a libretto derived in turn from La fede tradita e vendicata by Francesco Silvani (1705) Il prigionier superbo by Giovanni Battista Pergolesi was first performed on 5 September 1733 at the Teatro di San Bartolomeoin Naples. With this opera ? his second dramma serio for San Bartolomeo in less than two years ? the young composer (who had already acquired considerable professional stature in the city?s theatres churches and aristocratic circles) reprised aperennially popular subject centered around the dramatic conflict between filial piety and devotion to one?s betrothed. Inserted between the opera?s three acts were the intermezzi of La serva padrona which would soon go on to take all of Europe bystorm.The primary source for this edition is a manuscript copy of the score currently housed in the Conservatorio di Musica ?San Pietro a Majella? in Naples and prepared by Giuseppe Sigismondo who was quite probably working from the now-lost autograph.Two other significant manuscript copies of the score also housed in Naples (respectively in the Biblioteca Oratoriana dei Girolamini and the aforementioned conservatory) were consulted along with a number of manuscript copies of individual arias.

Par LEVINAS MICHAEL. Précédé de Je, tu, il, prologue à La Métamorphose sur un texte de Valère Novarina. Au sortir d'un rêve agité, Grégor Samsa s'éveille pour vivre un véritable cauchemar, celui de sa transformation en énorme cancrelat. Tout le monde connaît cette nouvelle de Kafka - elle appartient désormais à nos mythologies contemporaines. L'idée d'en faire un opéra est tellement excitante qu'on en serait presque à se demander pourquoi une telle adaptation n'a encore jamais été tentée. Peut-être parce que la perspective donne le vertige et que l'histoire elle-même semble veiller à sa propre irreprésentabilité ? Il aura fallu attendre près d'un siècle pour que le texte se métamorphose en opéra grâce à Michaël Levinas et à l'équipe artistique qu'il a réunie. Avec Valère Novarina et Emmanuel Moses, le compositeur opère un travail sur la langue pour révéler sa vocalité lyrique. Le chant du 'sopraniste' Fabrice Di Falco et des autres interprètes est ensuite traité par des techniques d'hybridation informatiques [réalisées à l'Ircam, NDLR]. Toujours en quête 'd'une suggestion d'ébranlement dramatique dans la vibration du son' comme s'il y avait un 'au-delà du son dans le son', la musique de Levinas s'ouvre au fantastique. Ce sentiment de l'extraordinaire sera rendu palpable par les instrumentistes d'Ictus, imbattables quand il s'agit de faire advenir des univers inouïs. L'adaptation scénique est confiée à Stanislas Nordey, homme de théâtre insatiable découvreur de textes contemporains. Il s'est également distingué à l'occasion de nombreuses collaborations avec les plus grands compositeurs de notre temps, parmi lesquels Michaël Levinas. C'est en effet lui qui a mis en scène son précédent opéra composé à partir des Nègres de Jean Genet. www.opera-lille.fr/ Répertoire / Chant et Piano
