"From eleven years of age, when he wrote his first work for the theatre, until twenty-four, when he received the commission for Idomeneo, Mozart composed a German Singspiel and part of a second one, two Italian opere buffe, five Italian opere serie, a comedy in Latin, an act of a sacred drama in German, and the incidental music for a German play. It is these twelve works, and the musical and social setting in which they were created, which Carolyn Gianturco examines in this study. Dr Gianturco approaches each piece from the several points of view significant to its understanding: biographical, so far as the young Mozart himself was concerned; patronage, without which there could have been no such works; the libretti, the individual singers and the musicians through whom the music was realised; and the music itself, which Dr Gianturco analyses in detail with the help of numerous musical examples. For many years Mozart's early theatrical compositions were thought interesting only as a prelude to the five masterpieces of his maturity. More recently Bastien und Bastienne, Lucio Silla, La finta giardiniera, Il re pastore and Zaide, for instance, have come to be valued for their own sake. Carolyn Gianturco's book has the great merit of showing how Mozart's early experiments in harmony, form, rhythm, instrumentation and counterpart were to give him the technical means to create true dramma in musica. Together with Mozart's participation in it, her study also sheds new light on the world of eighteenth-century opera in general. In order to write this book Carolyn Gianturco worked from original sources in the Deutsche Staatsbibliothek (East Berlin), the Staatsbibliothek Preussiche Kulturbesitz (West Berlin), the British Library, the Santa Cecilia Library in Rome, the Göttingen University Library, and the Windsor Castle Library."--Dust jacket.

Excerpt from Mozart's Operas This book has been written with a double purpose: first, to present Mozart's principal operas as still living works to modern audiences; and, secondly, to draw from them illustrations of certain points of view from which music in general and opera in particular may be considered. These ideas have in the present work received no more than a summary indication, and I hope later on to find an opportunity of treating them more in detail. The first chapter deals mainly with principles of musical appreciation. Chapter II gives a survey of Mozart's early operas and his relation to his century, after which the more important operas are discussed at greater length. I have been careful in each case to give an account of the plot in as concise a form as possible. Quotations of music from Mozart's operas have as a rule been avoided, since cheap editions are easily available, but an exception has been made in favour of "Idomeneo," since that work is comparatively little known, even to Mozart enthusiasts. On the other hand, a number of examples have been given from the works of Mozart's contemporaries, which are for the most part extant only in manuscript or in early printed editions.

This addition to the Cambridge Opera Handbooks series is also the first full-length study of Mozart's Die Entführung aus dem Serail. It aims to familiarize the reader with all aspect of the work: Mozart's writing of the opera and its literary antecedents, its plot, its musical structure, its reception and performance history. The reader will find much that is new in Thomas Bauman's study. He discusses the opera in relation to other Oriental operas, in the light of eighteenth-centruy apprehensions of the East, and as an attempt to reconcile the conventions of German opera in the early 1780s with Viennese taste and Mozart's own maturing operatic aesthetic. The text is well illustrated with pictures and music examples and a full discography lists the available recordings of the opera. This will be essential reading for all who have an interest in Mozart's operas, whether as student, scholar or opera-lover.

A new and popular biography that will appeal to all those who love the music of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and who would like to know more about his operas and the life he lived. Perhaps Mozart's operas -- more than any of the other forms in which he composed -- hint most at his "divine discontent", and reveal how this child prodigy turned into a genius who could see into the human heart.

David Cairns weaves a brilliantly engaging narrative which puts Mozart’s operas in the context of his life, showing how they illuminate his creativity as a whole. Mozart’s unusual childhood as a musical prodigy touring Europe as a performer from an early age is well known. But even more remarkable is that the genius grew up, surviving his unnatural early years and producing works of increasing maturity and originality. Using the operas as his guide, Cairns traces the steady deepening of Mozart’s musical style from his beginnings as a child prodigy, through his coming of age with what Cairns sees as the most Romantic and forward-looking of all Mozart’s operas, Idomeneo, the later genius displayed in the three comic operas, The Marriage of Figaro, Don Giovanni, and Così fan tutte, and in The Magic Flute, the final and greatest triumph of his career.

"This engrossing study of the operas of Mozart spans the whole of the composer's career, from the very early works composed while he was still a child to his last years and the extraordinarily creative period that produced The Marriage of Figaro, Don Giovanni, Così fan tutte, and The Magic Flute. As Mozart's knowledge of the stage grew and as his musical talent developed, his operas became more subtle and sophisticated, revealing the composer's consummate mastery of the techniques of both opera seria and opera buffa, as well as of the many other forms of musical drama popular at the time. Liebner leads the reader through the various stages of Mozart's development as a composer for the stage and shows how Mozart moved beyond a sound knowledge of contemporary forms and technique to advance the evolution of operatic technique and achievement. MOZART ON THE STAGE opens with a brief discussion of Mozart's role as an artist in the latter half of the eighteenth century. An admirer of Jean Jacques Rousseau and a contemporary of Schiller, Mozart broke away from the traditional system of aristocratic patronage in the conviction that an artist should be free and independent, responsible only to himself for the content and form of his work. Although this cost Mozart a life of comparative comfort and security, Liebner argues that the effects of Mozart's revolutionary stance can be traced throughout the work written for the stage. In an early chapter, Liebner sets out Mozart's approach to opera and his belief that the libretto and staging were always subordinate to the music. This is illustrated by detailed analysis of the early works and by individual chapters devoted to discussion of each of the major works, including The Abduction from the Seraglio, The Marriage of Figaro, Don Giovanni, Così fan tutte, and The Magic Flute. The operas are examined with respect to both their musical and their dramatic content and are related to dominant social and dramatic conventions of the time. The author shows how Mozart utilized the entire range of musical means at hand to create, often from mediocre librettos, some of the most remarkable operas in musical history. In his approach to each opera, Liebner stresses the particular dramatic or musical technique that contributes to an understanding of Mozart's achievements in this genre, showing both how the young Mozart was influenced by contemporary musical trends and how he influenced and shaped eighteenth-century opera. In his fascinating chapters on The Magic Flute, the author compares Mozart's last opera to Shakespeare's The Tempest, pointing to similarities in concept and structure that illuminate and enrich our appreciation of Mozart's 'swan-song.' MOZART ON THE STAGE will be a welcome volume to music-lovers and students as well as opera-goers--to anyone, in brief, who is interested in Mozart's development as an opera-composer or in the operas themselves."--Dust jacket.

English National Opera Guides are ideal companions to the opera. They provide stimulating introductory articles together with the complete text of each opera in English and the original. "It was a treat so truly intellectual that every ear and every breast, susceptible of harmony and of impression, was gratified to a degree beyond our power to describe." Thus one of the first London reviews in 1811 of Mozart's beautiful opera, Cosi fan tutte. Its enigmatic mixture of a detached experiment in human foibles and a struggle of sincere emotions has often disturbed audiences: in the last century it was performed under many different titles and extensively bowdlerised. H.C. Robbins Landon observes, however, that Mozart's heartfelt music proves he is openly on the side of the angels (that is, the ladies), not the deceivers, however cynical da Ponte's words alone appear to be. Brian Trowell describes the sophisticated world in which the opera was conceived, while John Stone traces the origins of the libretto to Ancient Greece, medieval Italy and even to China. The text is certainly da Ponte's most original masterpiece and is here presented in a newly revised English version.
