Grazie per l'upload, una delle migliori opere di Ottorino Respighi. E' un peccato che l'Opera italiana del novecento sia così poco eseguita e conosciuta.
Non è per contraddirti ma nel classico non c'e differenza chi meno ho più. Sta solo ha noi comprenderlo. D'altronde per loro e solo una finta. Respighi apparteneva ha quella scia dell'avanguardia del 900.

Oggi come oggi la musica come tutto è solo un insegnamento. È se non la si conosce e solo questione di insegnamento. Tutto qui. È poi credo che di concerti ed opere se ne seguono. Tu sai no che oggi comprendere la vera musica e di pochi. Ed occorre insegnarla con tutti i suoi stimoli. Si capisce poco il leggero figurati il classico.
The Princess: Sofia Nekrasova, soprano The Blue Fairy: Elisaveta Sveshnikova, soprano The LIttle old Lady: Anastasia Meshchanova, mezzo soprano The Prince: Hylia Selivanov, tenor The Ambassador and the King: Giovanni Romeo, baritone The Nightingale: Sara Rossini, soprano The Cuckoo: Carlotta Vichi, mezzo soprano Act I 1-4, Scene I The scene is set in the countryside, with flowers blooming, by the side of a small lake. It is a starlit night. The year is 1620. The song of the Nightingale competes with that of the Cuckoo, finally to be disturbed by a group of dancing Frogs. The Royal Ambassador and a Herald arrive to announce the birth of the Princess and to invite all Fairies to the imminent christening. The Blue Fairy and her companions appear, telling the astounded Ambassador that they will agree to be the godmothers of the Princess. Singing in chorus, the Fairies fly away and only the two lonely birds are heard again. 5-8, Scene 2 The scene is now the Great Hall of the castle. The Court Jester improvises a comic lullaby by the golden cradle of the baby Princess. The King and Queen appear, accompanied by the Fairies and the royal guests. The Blue Fairy pays homage to the Princess and is echoed by her companions. A group of Rose Nymphs dances a languorous waltz. The ceremony, reaching a climax in a solemn march, with the ringing of bells, is interrupted by the arrival of the angry Green Fairy, who with fire and smoke makes all the guests disappear. To the trembling royal couple she offers her own christening present, announcing that at the age of twenty the Princess will prick her finger on a spindle and fall asleep for ever. When she has disappeared, the King calls the Master of Spindles, ordering him to destroy at once all the spinning-wheels in the kingdom. The Blue Fairy does not countermand this spell at once, but calls an ethereal chorus of singing stars to ensure that a watchful eye will now be kept on the Princess. Act II 9-12, Scene I Twenty years have passed. In a forgotten turret of the castle a toothless old crone sits over a forgotten spinning-wheel, singing a melancholy song of loneliness. The woman leaves the room in search of some wool and the Princess comes in, singing of the joys of spring. She greets the suspicious Cat, who introduces her to the Spindle and the three dance together. The old woman returns and, urged by the Princess, teaches her how to spin, using a spindle that she had kept apart. The Cat does notice this, but it is already too late: the Princess has pricked her finger and falls slowly asleep. The old woman rushes out to call for help, while the Spindle starts to whirl around the Green Fairy’s victim in triumph. 13-15, Scene 2 In the royal apartments once more four Doctors, armed with huge syringes, tell the King that the illness of the Princess is unknown. After these incompetent physicians have been dismissed the Queen joins her husband in a mournful duet. A funeral procession enters. The Princess, carried in a sedan chair by two white marmots, seems only asleep. Professional mourners are engaged, realising that no kind of sweet foods, nor those soft melodies of the morbid Strauss, have been of use in rousing the Princess. Finally the Blue Fairy appears. She orders the Princess to be put in an alcove and casts her own spell of sleep over everyone. She predicts that the Princess will one day wake through a kiss of love and leaves, as her task is concluded by a legion of humming Spiders that cover the scene with their silvery webs. Act Ill 16-18, Scene I The action takes place some three hundred years later, around 1940. The scene is a place in the woods from which the enchanted castle can be seen. A Woodcutter sings, joined in chorus by his fellows. Prince April appears, accompanied by the Duchess and by a group of huntsmen. In the party are also members of the “Paper-Hunt”, a rich American society presided over by Mr. Dollar Cheques. After a brief attempt at flirtation with the Duchess, the Prince is intrigued by the mysterious castle, all covered with ivy. The Woodcutter tells him the legend of the Sleeping Princess lying therein, still waiting for the kiss of April that will break the spell. The whole company is urged to return home at once and the Duchess, already jealous, is consoled by Mr. Dollar to the point that he offers to buy the Sleeping Beauty, whatever she costs. After his arietta the Prince leaves his horse and, full of desire, approaches the castle. 19, Scene 2 In the hall in which the Princess lies, Prince April ironically greets the motionless courtiers he meets, learning from distant echoing voices that it will be love, inspired by the spring, that will help him break the magic spell. 20-22, Scene 3 A great Spider tries to lure him into her web, but the Prince destroys her with his riding-whip. Suddenly the alcove is brightly lit. The Sleeping Beauty lies there on her bed and the Prince’s kiss awakes her and the others under the spell. After a passionate love duet, the Blue Fairy makes a final, triumphant appearance, transforming the old chamber into a splendid throne-room. The royal couple and the guests rejoice. The “Paper-Hunt” group, that has just entered, manages to bring all the seventeenth century people into a dance with them, a nouveau style Fox-Trot. Based on Charles Perrault's fairy tale Sleeping Beauty.
@@Fonzipan, I'm glad you like it. I'm no musicologist, but post the most complete synopses I can to help myself follow, and am always pleased when others find them helpful.
Que linda ❤❤🎉🎉❤❤
