RODELINDA, DE HANDEL


"Rodelinda"(1725) é uma das melhores ópera de Handel. Foi muito apreciada na época de sua composição e continuou sendo representada nos séculos seguintes. A história contém ingredientes que dão todo tempero a uma boa ópera: ambição, fidelidade ciúme, amores não correspondidos, lealdade.
Há duas versões em dvd: a de Glyndebourne e a da Ópera Estatal da Bavária.
Na primeira temos Anna Caterina Antonacci no papel título e a presença do excelente contratenor Andreas Scholl . Não obstante minha admiração por Antonacci, à sua voz faltam os agudos que o papel requer. Sou francamente mais favorável à versão de Berlim:
Rodelinda · Dorothea Röschmann
Bertarido · Michael Chance
Grimoaldo · Paul Nilon
Eduige · Felicity Palmer
Unulfo · Christopher Robson
Garibaldo · Umberto Chiummo
Bavarian State Orchestra
Conductor: Ivor Bolton
Röschmann e Palmer têm um desempenho vocal e cênico de primeira. O tenor dessa versão também superior ao da de Glyndebourne. Christopher Robson também cênica e vocalmente dá destaque ao papel do fiel Unulfo.
A opção da direção de cena foi transportar a história para a contemporaneidade, tendência que está predominando nas versões das óperas de Handel. Uma iluminação de muito bom gosto nos dá, em certos momentos, a impressão de estarmos vendo um filme noir. A direção de vídeo trabalha com grandes planos e closes que dão a certos momentos da encenação uma dimensão que ao espectador de teatro é negada.
Enfim, uma excelente opção para essa obra importante de Handel.

CALLAS: DA VENEZIA NEL MONDO, GIULIETTA SIMIONATO A LISBONA

(AGI) - Venezia, 17 ott. - Da Venezia nel mondo: il mito di Maria Callas continua grazie all'incessante attivita' dell'Associazione che porta il nome della Divina, e che e' stata fondata in laguna nel 1992 da Bruno Tosi, ancora oggi Presidente. Sono gia' una trentina le grandi mostre organizzate nei piu' prestigiosi spazi in campo internazionale. Dopo New York, Parigi, Tokio, Citta' del Messico, Amburgo, l'esposizione e' ora a Lisbona, nella suggestiva cornice del Museo dell'Elettricita', per ricordare i 50 anni della 'Traviata' di Verdi interpretata dalla Callas nel 1958 al Teatro San Carlos. Una mostra che vanta oltre 70.000 visitatori, tanto da costringere gli organizzatori alla proroga di un mese: chiudera' i battenti domenica 19 ottobre alle 18. Madrina d'eccezione per la cerimonia di chiusura, alla quale parteciperanno le piu' alte autorita' del Portogallo, Giulietta Simionato, 98 anni compiuti, considerata l'ultimo mito vivente nel mondo dell'opera. 'L'arrivo da Roma del celebre mezzosoprano e' atteso a Lisbona con grande interesse ed emozione - racconta Bruno Tosi -. La Simionato e' stata la piu' grande amica e collega di Maria Callas, e' presidente onoraria dell'Associazione Callas, ma ha anche moltissimi ammiratori in Portogallo avendo cantato al San Carlos in ben tre stagioni, dal 1954 al 1958'. Nello storico Teatro, rimasto intatto dalla fine del 700, l'artista ha interpretato alcune fra le piu' famose opere del suo repertorio, da 'Carmen', a 'L'Italiana in Algeri', da 'Cenerentola' al 'Don Carlo'.

AMELIA AO BALLO E LE VILLI


Duas mulheres, 2 óperas, 2 gêneros
Amelia al Ballo, de Menotti, e Le Villi, de Puccini, ganham suas primeiras montagens, a partir de amanhã, no Teatro Municipal
João Luiz Sampaio


A primeira tenta a todo custo impedir o encontro do marido com o amante, enquanto se prepara para o primeiro baile da temporada; a segunda, morta de amor, se junta ao espírito de mulheres traídas que, na floresta, perseguem os maridos infiéis. Duas mulheres, duas óperas, dois gêneros, dois compositores - mas, a partir de amanhã, estarão juntas no Teatro Municipal com a estréia do programa duplo Amelia al Ballo e Le Villi, escritas por Menotti e Puccini, que ganham as primeiras montagens da história do teatro.
