In the early 1800s, Rossini’s operas permeated Italy, from the opera house to myriad arrangements heard in public and private. But after Rossini stopped composing, a sharp decline in popularity drove most of his works out of the repertory. In the past half century, they have made a spectacular return to operatic stages worldwide, but this recent fame has not been accompanied by a comparable critical reevaluation. Emanuele Senici’s new book provides a fresh look at the motives behind the Rossinian furore and its aftermath by examining the composer’s works in the historical context in which they were conceived, performed, seen, heard, and discussed. Situating the operas firmly within the social practices, cultural formations, ideological currents, and political events of early nineteenth-century Italy, Senici reveals Rossini’s dramaturgy as a radically new and specifically Italian reaction to the epoch-making changes witnessed in Europe at the time. The first book-length study of Rossini’s Italian operas to appear in English, Music in the Present Tense exposes new ways to explore nineteenth-century music and addresses crucial issues in the history of modernity, such as trauma, repetition, and the healing power of theatricality.

Winner of the 2007 Otto Kinkeldey Award from the American Musicological Society and the 2007 Deems Taylor Award from the American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers. Divas and Scholars is a dazzling and beguiling account of how opera comes to the stage, filled with Philip Gossett’s personal experiences of triumphant—and even failed—performances and suffused with his towering and tonic passion for music. Writing as a fan, a musician, and a scholar, Gossett, the world's leading authority on the performance of Italian opera, brings colorfully to life the problems, and occasionally the scandals, that attend the production of some of our most favorite operas. Gossett begins by tracing the social history of nineteenth-century Italian theaters in order to explain the nature of the musical scores from which performers have long worked. He then illuminates the often hidden but crucial negotiations opera scholars and opera conductors and performers: What does it mean to talk about performing from a critical edition? How does one determine what music to perform when multiple versions of an opera exist? What are the implications of omitting passages from an opera in a performance? In addition to vexing questions such as these, Gossett also tackles issues of ornamentation and transposition in vocal style, the matters of translation and adaptation, and even aspects of stage direction and set design. Throughout this extensive and passionate work, Gossett enlivens his history with reports from his own experiences with major opera companies at venues ranging from the Metropolitan and Santa Fe operas to the Rossini Opera Festival at Pesaro. The result is a book that will enthrall both aficionados of Italian opera and newcomers seeking a reliable introduction to it—in all its incomparable grandeur and timeless allure.

This Guide has resulted from years of research on the papers and music of Giacomo Meyerbeer, and aims to provide a bibliographical aid and point of reference for further research. The first part presents the private papers connected to the composer and his principal librettist, Eugène Scribe—both archival and printed, with working papers and correspondence, as found in Berlin, Paris and some of the famous libraries of the world. The body of Part 2 draws together all the known resources on Meyerbeer's life and historical reputation—from full scale biographies and entries in reference books, through critical discussions to website resources to records of symposia. The third part provides material about his background with its unique mixture of Jewish and Prussian elements, the powerful role of the city of Berlin in his life and work. The fourth part lists bibliographic material for Meyerbeer's music, looking at his operas, grouped as German, Italian and French, with each individual entry providing a record of the scores available, both modern and historical, the various arrangements made from the operas during the heyday of their popularity, reviews of modern performances, discography, and bibliography of studies and publications pertinent to the wider cultural and historical contexts of the works. The next two sections constitute an extended record of material pertinent to the contemporaries of Meyerbeer. In the fifth section are select bibliographies of composers, authors, artists, performers, politicians, those who played some part in the composer's life, or anyone of significance in his wider contemporary circumstances. This is continued in the sixth part where the cultural and aesthetic elements of the composer's milieu, or life in the theatre during seventy years of the nineteenth century, are listed. The seventh part adds a bibliography of social and historical background, where the incidental issues of Judaism in nineteenth-century Europe, and the wider political, historical and geographical circumstances of Meyerbeer's life, his relentless travelling, and closely recorded experiences in Germany, France, Italy, Belgium, England, and Austria. The eighth section provides a thematic key to this extensive material. Part 9 provides an extended tripartite series of lists of the published scores, arrangements and some special studies of Meyerbeer over the period 1820 to 2005—in alphabetical, chronological and thematic ordering. The last two sections furnish the modern equivalent of this record of Meyerbeer and his compositions, showing in Part 11 the list of performances of his operas since the Second World War, and in Part 12, listing the recordings of the operas, both commercial and private, for the same period. The thirteenth and last section is iconographical, pictures that represent an interesting survey of the popular response to Meyerbeer in the 19th century.

Gioachino Rossini was one of the most influential, as well as one of the most industrious and emotionally complex of the great nineteenth-century composers. Between 1810 and 1829, he wrote 39 operas, a body of work, comic and serious, which transformed Italian opera and radically altered the course of opera in France. His retirement from operatic composition in 1829, at the age of 37, was widely assumed to be the act of a talented but lazy man. In reality, political events and a series of debilitating illnesses were the determining factors. After drafting the Stabat Mater in 1832, Rossini wrote no music of consequence for the best part of twenty-five years, before the clouds lifted and he began composing again in Paris in the late 1850s. During this glorious Indian summer of his career, he wrote 150 songs and solo piano pieces his 'Sins of Old Age' and his final masterpiece, the Petite Messe solennelle. The image of Rossini as a gifted but feckless amateur-the witty, high-spirited bon vivant who dashed off The Barber of Seville in a mere thirteen days-persisted down the years, until the centenary of his death in 1968 inaugurated a process of re-evaluation by scholars, performers, and writers. The original 1985 edition of Richard Osborne's pioneering and widely acclaimed Rossini redefined the life and provided detailed analyses of the complete Rossini oeuvre. Twenty years on, all Rossini's operas have been staged and recorded, a Critical Edition of his works is well advanced, and a scholarly edition of his correspondence, including 250 previously unknown letters from Rossini to his parents, is in progress. Drawing on these past two decades of scholarship and performance, this new edition of Rossini provides the most detailed portrait we have yet had of one of the worlds best-loved and most enigmatic composers.

Per la seconda volta nella storia, l’Italia è campione d’Europa. It’s coming Rome! Un’avventura lunga un mese, dall’esordio all’Olimpico con la Turchia all’epico trionfo in finale ai rigori con l’Inghilterra: la Nazionale azzurra conquista a Wembley il titolo europeo dopo cinquantatré anni di attesa grazie al magnifico lavoro del ct Roberto Mancini, che ha ricostruito un gruppo demolito dalla mancata qualificazione ai Mondiali in Russia. I retroscena e i particolari di queste Notti magiche, di un Europeo itinerante giocato in piena pandemia, vinto da una squadra che è diventata simbolo di un Paese capace di risollevarsi. È la storia di un successo che Alberto Rimedio ha raccontato per la Rai fino a un centimetro dal traguardo, fino a quando il Covid gli ha negato la finale. È anche la sua storia.

"L'Italia che il 10 giugno del '40 scese in campo, convinta di restarci solo poche settimane, era un'Italia stanca di retorica guerriera, e intimamente convinta che la vittoria sarebbe stata la vittoria dei Tedeschi, più pericolosa di una sconfitta." Con la dichiarazione ufficiale del 10 giugno 1940 e poi la firma del Patto Tripartito, l'Italia prende ufficialmente parte alla Seconda guerra mondiale. A guidarla c'è l'infondata speranza di Mussolini in una soluzione rapida e favorevole; ma il Paese è impreparato, demotivato e percorso da un malcontento sempre più evidente, specie nel morale delle truppe. Male equipaggiati, guidati da comandanti più burocrati che strateghi, malvisti dagli stessi alleati, i soldati italiani conoscono poche vittorie e troppe brucianti sconfitte. Intanto lo scontro cresce: la firma del Patto Atlantico tra Stati Uniti e Inghilterra, l'attacco a Pearl Harbor, la disastrosa campagna italo-tedesca in Unione Sovietica, l'inizio del lunghissimo assedio di Leningrado, le battaglie di El-Alamein, la disfatta sul fronte africano, lo sbarco alleato in Sicilia. Di fronte allo sfacelo militare e alle tensioni interne, Vittorio Emanuele e alcuni politici tentano di fare marcia indietro: il 25 luglio 1943 il Duce viene sfiduciato e arrestato. A sostituirlo è chiamato Badoglio, che incomincia subito i trattati per quell'armistizio definito da Montanelli uno "spettacolo miserando". Gli autori ci presentano in questo volume la ricostruzione di anni difficili e densi, animati da figure imponenti quali Hitler, Churchill, Roosevelt, Eisenhower, Rommel, Montgomery. Un resoconto puntuale, cui la precisa posizione di Montanelli dona carattere e forza.
