Book Synopsis Italian for Opera Lovers by : Alison R. Oatman

Download or read book Italian for Opera Lovers written by Alison R. Oatman. This book was released on 2017-11-14. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you been holding back? Have you always wanted to dip a toe into the seductive world of corpulent divas, voluptuous vowels, spaghetti-like plot twists, and encores that make the crowd shudder with cry after cry of bravissimo? Are you curious to find out just why Mozart would have made a wonderful dinner guest? Have you always wanted to know at what time of day it is inappropriate to order a cappuccino in Italy, or whom you should never greet with a friendly "Ciao!"? Despite its title, Italian for Opera Lovers is geared towards people who may have no experience studying Italian, nor even more than a cursory familiarity with opera. The book is meant as an introduction to the Italian language. As we cover the basics, we will be focusing on close readings from nine Italian operas. It is my hope that this book whets your appetite for more adventures with both Italian and opera--two one-way tickets to a life of passion.

Book Synopsis Rigoletto by : Giuseppe Verdi

Book excerpt: The subject cannot fail!' exulted Verdi, when recommending Victor Hugo's play Le Roi s'amuse to his librettist. But the censors made every effort to stop it, and the baritone was not easily convinced that a hunchback role would suit him. Jonathan Keates gives a vivid insight into the composition of a masterpiece. Verdi long afterwards thought it his best work, and Roger Parker explains why. Peter Nichols, author of several bestselling books in Italy, picks out some of the peculiarly Italian attitudes and characters in the opera which make it timeless - and incredibly modern.Contents: Introduction, Jonathan Keates; Musical Commentary, Roger Parker; The Timelessness of 'Rigoletto', Peter Nichols; Rigoletto: Text by Francesco Maria Piave after Victor Hugo's 'Le Roi s'amuse'; Rigoletto: English translation by James Fenton
