		Bassocantante's Opera Shop ^Votes:0 Vissi d’arte, vissi d’amore . . . I am Basso Cantante, literally a Singing Bass, generally classified as a lyric bass or bass-baritone. I sing opera, oratorio and art songs. As a bass, I usually get the character roles, either comic or villain, both of which I relish. You can find out a little more about me, see a couple of pictures and hear a couple of examples of my singing (from Bach’s Magnificat and Donizetti’s L’Elisir d’Amore ) by clicking the “About Me” button below. The singers’ pages contain a collection of information on opera singers who were active in the first half of the twentieth century, along with examples of their singing, taken primarily from recordings in my collection of 78 rpm records.

		carlhaber's Home Page ^Votes:0 The aim of this page is to provide basic information about Opera and opera singers. In the future I hope to be able to include some graphics and also links to other related Web Pages. As I said, the information contained herein is by no means exhaustive and hence the use of ?links for more detailed information regarding the topic or the particular singer or opera.As some may already have noticed, the number of my page, 1835, also represents a date. It is, for me, a sad reminder of the year in which Vincenzo Bellini died. Being my favourite opera composer, I have decided to start this page with some information about him. Please sign my guestbook at bottom of page Vincenzo Bellini. Born in Catania, Sicily in 1801 and died in Paris in 1835. Composer of 11 operas, he was educated in the Conse Read More Go to Site

		Classical Opera ^Votes:0 Home \| Theatre Links \| Advertise Here \| Email Us Classical Opera This article was originally published in A History of Opera . Arthur Elson. Boston: L.C. Page & Company, 1901. pp. 108-126. THE question of what sort of music should be employed in opera is a fundamental one, and has given rise to more controversies, heart-burnings, and recriminations than any other matter, since it lies at the root of all differences between schools or individuals. In the earliest times, we find a declamatory style; in the works of the Venetians, melody asserts itself; with Scarlatti, musical learning is pressed into service; in the epoch of Handel, a conventional form dominates the stage; the efforts of Gluck bring back something of an earlier dramatic style, with vastly increased resources in the orchestra Read More Go to Site

		Der Ring des Nibelungen ^Votes:0 RICHARD WAGNER'S DER RING DES NIBELUNGEN "The Nibelung's Ring" a synopsis of the plot DAS RHEINGOLD ("The Rhinegold") The Three Rhinemaidens are swimming in the depths of the river Rhine, as Alberich the Nibelung (a night-dwarf) enters. The Rhinemaidens tease him as he tries catch them. Then a ray of sunlight shines on pile of gold. The Rhinemaidens tell Alberich that if someone should forswear all love, he would be able to forge an all-powerful ring of the Rhinegold. They tell this to Alberich because they think he would never forswear love, as he was so lustily chasing them. But they are wrong: mad with despair, Alberich forswears and curses all love and he steals the Rhinegold and flees before the shocked Rhinemaidens can take any action. Elsewhere, Wotan (Odin, the chief of gods) has h Read More Go to Site

		SHOWBOAT ^Votes:0 SHOW BOAT A HyperText Project by Gerard Saviola The curtain rose. The music ceased jerkily, in mid-bar. They became little children listening to a fairy tale. A glorious world of unreality opened before their eyes. Things happened. They knew that in life things did not happen thus. But there, they saw, believed, and were happy. Innocence wore golden curls. Wickedness wore black. Love triumphed, right conquered, virtue was rewarded, evil punished. They forgot the cottonfields, the wheatfields, the cornfields. They forgot the coal mines, the potato patch, the stable, the barn, the shed. They forgot the labour under the pitiless blaze of the noonday sun; the bitter marrow-numbing chill of winter; the blistered skin; the frozen road; wind, snow, rain, flood. The women forgot for an hour their Read More Go to Site

After having played two tryout runs in Chicago and Washington D.C. to mixed to negative overall reviews, producers have confirmed that Bounce , the first new musical from Stephen Sondheim in nine years, will not be seen on Broadway anytime soon. Richard Kind & Howard McGillin The decision not to transfer the show to Broadway is yet another stumbling block for the musical whose history goes back to the early 1950's. The premiere of Bounce was directed by long-term associate Harold Prince. Bounce has taken on several titles in its development including Wise Guys and Gold! . On this latest change Prince said, "The abiding message of the show is that the best of America is pioneering - that we have an uncommon resilience, and the ability to reinvent ourselves.
