Mozarts operas (212 Ergebnisse)

Paperback. Zustand: Good. This reissue of Edward J.Dent's study of the operas of Mozart was originally published in 1913, when most of Mozart's operas were still almost completely unknown in Britain. The book was completely revised in 1947, with much new material incorporated. Edward J.Dent himself had played an important part in the revival of interest in Mozart's operas both in England and on the Continent, and his translations of the librettos did much to popularize them for English audiences. For each of the major operas, Dent examines the history of the work's composition, explores the background to the librettos and provides an analysis of the plot and music. He also discusses the work's subsequent reception. In addition, his study of the operas is linked with much biographical detail so that light is shed not only on the composer and contemporary opera, but on the whole 18th-century world of music in which Mozart lived.…

Hardback. Zustand: Good. The operatic life of the librettist for Don Giovanni and The Marriage of Figaro. In 1805, Lorenzo Da Ponte was the proprietor of a small grocery store in New York. But since his birth into an Italian Jewish family in 1749, he had already been a priest, a poet, the lover of many women, a scandalous Enlightenment thinker banned from teaching in Venice, the librettist for three of Mozart's most sublime operas, a collaborator with Salieri, a friend of Casanova, and a favorite of Emperor Joseph I. He would go on to establish New York City's first opera house and be the first professor of Italian at Columbia University. An inspired innovator but a hopeless businessman, who loved with wholehearted loyalty and recklessness, Da Ponte was one of the early immigrants to live out the American dream. In Rodney Bolt's rollicking and extensively researched biography, Da Ponte's picaresque life takes readers from Old World courts and the back streets of Venice, Vienna, and London to the New World promise of New York City. Two hundred and fifty years after Mozart's birth, the life and legacy of his librettist Da Ponte are as astonishing as ever.…
