История исполнения
[ редактировать ]19 -й век
Опера первоначально была одноактной фарсой, основанной на Le Conseienze Teatrali ; Эта версия состоялась в Teatro Nuovo в Неаполе 21 ноября 1827 года. Доницетти пересмотрел его и добавил рекордные и материалы от Le неудобного Teatrali ; Эта финальная версия состоялась в Teatro Alla Cannobiana в Милане 20 апреля 1831 года.
20th century and beyond
Convenienze had its first major modern revival in 1963 in Siena,[1] and has subsequently appeared in a number of translations and under various titles, most notably as Viva la mamma, a German adaptation presented in Munich in 1969.[1]
In the UK, the first staged performance was not given until 9 April 1976 by an amateur company, the Harrow Opera Workshop,[1] but that performance had been preceded by a 1969 BBC broadcast under the name of Upstage and Downstage; in 1972 Opera Rara, the recording company, produced the one-act version in English as The Prima Donna's Mother is a Drag.[1] In the US, the first production was given in Terre Haute, Indiana on 2 April 1966.[2]
A 2004 production at the Opera of Monte Carlo starred June Anderson. In October 2009, the opera was performed at La Scala as Le Convenienze ed inconvenienze teatrali, under the direction of Marco Guidarini; there is a live DVD recording of this performance.
The opera was staged (as Viva la Mamma) in 2017 in the Estates Theatre of the Czech National Theatre in Prague.[3] A contemporary version in English by Kit Hesketh-Harvey entitled Viva La Diva was staged, in association with the Salzburg State Theatre, at the Buxton Opera House as part of the 2022 Buxton International Festival, with the Northern Chamber Orchestra, directed by Stephen Medcalf, and with George Humphreys in the role of Agata (who becomes "Lady Wigan" in the contemporary English production).[4]

Synopsis
[edit]- Time: 18th century
- Place: "A provincial Italian theatre"[5]
A regional (and mediocre) operatic troupe is rehearsing a new work—Romulus and Ersilia [a]—and faces numerous obstacles. The prima donna acts every bit the diva, refusing to rehearse. The German tenor cannot master either the lyrics or melodies. In the midst of much quarrelling, various singers threaten to walk out. The situation turns more dire with the arrival of Mamma Agata (a baritone role), the mother of the seconda donna. She insists on a solo for her daughter and even issues detailed demands on the musical arrangement of the aria. When the German tenor refuses to go on, he is replaced by the prima donna's husband. The show eventually collapses, and rather than pay back all the investors (whose money has already been spent), the company flees the town under cover of night.
Notes
[edit]- ^ The "opera within an opera" is treated as a parody of the opera seria genre. There are at least two actual settings of Metastasio's libretto Romolo ed Ersilia: that by Hasse in 1765, and that by Mysliveček in 1773.
