    Opera Explained La Bohème

    par Thomson Smillie ...
    Lu par David Timson ...
    Collections series Opera Explained 

    Version Longue

    1 heures

    La Bohème is one of the three operas the others are Carmen and Aida believed to be the most popular ever written. In the case of La Bohème the reason is that it virtually defines the term ‘romantic’. The poignant story of Mimì and Rodolfo is told in music of such tender beauty, allied, as always, to Puccini’s intuition of what works in the theatre, resulting in an opera that readily appeals to our ...

    Opera Explained Cavalleria rusticana

    par Thomson Smillie ...

    Collections series Opera Explained 

    Version Longue

    1 heures 16 min

    Cavalleria rusticana is the short opera that has all the elements of a grand opera compressed into a single highly dramatic time span. The story of love, lust, blood-feud and betrayal played out against the pageantry of the Easter celebrations in a Sicilian village delivers an emotional wallop because of the youthful vigour and musical wealth of its great score which includes the glorious Easter ...

    Opera Explained Don Giovanni

    par Thomson Smillie ...

    Collections series Opera Explained 

    Version Longue

    1 heures 19 min

    Don Giovanni has long been regarded as Mozart’s supreme theatrical achievement. The subject seems unpromising the last day in the life of the notorious womaniser Don Juan but the skill of the librettist allied to the genius of Mozart at the very peak of his powers has created a work which is not only highly entertaining but reflects an incredible understanding of the human condition. ...

    Opera Explained Die Fledermaus

    Collections series Opera Explained 

    Version Longue

    1 heures 19 min

    Die Fledermaus is one of the few operatic works to which the phrase ‘never a dull moment’ can be truthfully applied. From the explosive opening of the famous overture reminiscent of a volley of champagne corks through the surging energy of the ‘Fledermaus Waltz’ and the many comic numbers, of which the accelerando trio is the finest, up to such huge concerted numbers as the ‘Duidu’ finale to Act ...

    Opera Explained Il trovatore

    par Thomson Smillie ...
    Lu par David Timson ...
    Collections series Opera Explained 

    Version Longue

    1 heures 19 min

    Il trovatore has been ruthlessly parodied. It is a tale of murder and mayhem, burned babies, roasted hags, would-be nuns, strolling minstrels and bad baritones. And indeed the libretto does call for a willing suspension of disbelief. The reward is in the music, a score as prodigally melodic as only the mature Verdi could write: the ‘Anvil’ Chorus, the ‘Miserere’ scene, two great tenor arias, a ... En savoir plus

    Opera Explained Madama Butterfly

    par Thomson Smillie ...
    Lu par David Timson ...
    Collections series Opera Explained 

    Version Longue

    1 heures 5 min

    Madama Butterfly runs the gamut of operatic emotions. The title heroine has a fragility wonderfully expressed in her entry music, deep sexual instincts as shown in the love duet, and immense tragic stature in her last hours. The fate of Madama Butterfly married to an American sailor and then abandoned engages our emotions, as it obviously did Puccini’s to a degree equalled by few other opera ... En savoir plus

    Opera Explained Pelléas et Mélisande

    par Thomson Smillie ...
    Lu par David Timson ...
    Collections series Opera Explained 

    Version Longue

    1 heures 18 min

    Dating from the last decade of the nineteenth century, Pelléas et Mélisande points the way into the twentieth century. The score is hauntingly beautiful, but there is more to the work than shifting panels of elusive, impressionistic sound. Debussy retains the text of Maeterlinck’s play, and the linguistic subtleties of the French text are matched perfectly by the musical detail. Taking a little ... En savoir plus

    Opera Explained Così fan tutte

    par Thomson Smillie ...
    Lu par David Timson ...
    Collections series Opera Explained 

    Version Longue

    1 heures 18 min

    Così fan tutte contains some of Mozart’s most sublime music. On one level, the opera is purely a social anecdote about young people falling in and out of love; but Mozart was a supreme sensualist and a great humanist, and invested the tale with all his understanding of humanity and young love. In this title, David Timson refutes the charge that Mozart squandered his genius on a work full of ... En savoir plus

    Opera Explained The Flying Dutchman

    par Thomson Smillie ...
    Lu par David Timson ...
    Collections series Opera Explained 

    Version Longue

    1 heures 7 min

    The Flying Dutchman is the perfect opera with which to approach the operatic mountain that is Richard Wagner. It is short, has a great story (the legend of the Dutch captain doomed to sail forever unless redeemed through love), and the striking score has many pre-echoes of Wagner’s later great music dramas. It contains wonderful tunes in its arias, ensembles, and big choruses, and the orchestral ... En savoir plus

    Collections series Opera Explained 

    Version Longue

    1 heures 10 min

    The Magic Flute almost defines a masterpiece, because it can be enjoyed on every level. It is a superb fairy story, complete with dragons, demons, a handsome prince, and a lovely maiden seriously in need of rescue; it is a political satire, social commentary, and psychological drama; it is full of tunes from the playful to the heart-stopping, jolly songs, and deeply spiritual outpourings. It is, ... En savoir plus

    Version Longue

    1 heures 19 min

    Many opera-lovers would name The Marriage of Figaro as their favourite opera. It appeals to the most intellectual listener, but also to music-lovers seeking great melodies and ensembles (while it remains accessible through its fascinating plot and memorable characters) and to those seeking only entertainment. One of three operas by Mozart to libretti by Lorenzo da Ponte it represents one of the ... En savoir plus

    Opera Explained L’elisir d’amore

    par Thomson Smillie ...
    Lu par David Timson ...
    Collections series Opera Explained 

    Version Longue

    1 heures 17 min

    L’elisir d’amore, or The Elixir of Love, has remained popular for almost two centuries because of a touching tale and a galaxy of comic characters adapted from the traditional commedia dell’ arte. Above all Donizetti poured into the score all the warmth and tenderness of the Italian temperament. His melodic invention never ceases to charm whether in the jolly rustic choruses, the exhilarating ... En savoir plus
